One essential survival item I will hopefully always have is the old tried and true Military Canteen cup. With the canteen cup you can do with out a mess kit for the most part, It can be used to cook in or just to make coffee, hot coco, boil water for drinking and cleaning up some. It is versatile in its uses, light weight, takes up only a little bit of room, and costs a few dollars. __________________ Lo there do I see my Father...Lo there do I see my mother and my brothers and sisters...Lo there do I see the line of my peoples back to the begaining...Tho they do call to me...They bid me come take my place among them in the Halls of Valhalla...Where the brave may live forever

Good point.  __________________

Don't forget the Canteen cup stove.
It fits around the cup when packed and makes it easy to heat water in the cup.
I have one of these setups for every family member. __________________

Which you can make if you need to, but without a cup you can't drink it! __________________

I haven't used it in a while, but I completely agree. From shaving to coffee drinking, that cup was always there when I was in the field. And the little heater I had would bring the water to a rolling boil within a minute or two. Hooah - good post. | |

One other essential survival item that takes up virtually no space, and can be had for free is some shredded tire rubber.
A small piece of tire rubber can be easily lit, and burns hot and long. It is a great method to use in starting a fire with wet tinder and kindling. | |
