Geez-o-pete NO! You guys are violating the basic laws of gearlust. There's ALWAYS a better piece of gear if you have enough money.

Try the MSR titan mug and kettle. These are super-light titanium with folding handles. They nest inside each other and are big enough to hold a Trangia or home made alcohol burner and a windscreen as well. Your entire kitchen in a minimalist cooking pot.

And forget about mugs that wrap around mil-spec canteens and look like Dali designed them. Wrap your mug around a standard-shaped lexan bottle or soda pop bottle. Olicamp in stainless steel, or SnowPeak in titanium.

And remember that aside from a knife, the manufactured thing you might miss most is a pot in which to cook and purify. These mugs and kettles all work well as cooking pots.
