Does anyone know if the Source water bottle attachment works on these?

[KorumEmrys]

The rings on the back allow for it to be attached via clips to your belt as well if your familiar with the mostly associated Vietnam Era, "H" or "Y" Harness for your direct level 2 gear. Level 3 - Pack Contents, Level - 2 LBV/LBE Gear, Level - 1 Gear in trousers, pockets, attached to uniform belt.

I've been looking at both, wondering which one. Your evaluation and presentation gave me the information I need to make a decision. What I am looking for, is a survival kit for my float plane. A single package that I can pack with the 10 C's, some coffee, sugar, freeze dried food, dry soup pouches and Cliff bars, and a small Sawyer water filter, just in case I have to put down on a lake because of mechanical or weather issues, which has happened in the past. (weather) It seems like the canteen version is the best fit. I would remove the green canteen liner as redundant, to use the extra space. Then fill the canteen with the emergency food supplies so that it's safe from bugs or rodents getting at it as it will sit in the back of the airplane all summer. Thanks for the review, and Cheers from Winnipeg.

I have been using the canteen kit for years. And that style cup most of my life. I never figured out that form in the handle trick. Excellent! Thank you.

[Gadgeteer]

I love your attention to detail. You bring up points in your comparison that other people overlook like using the fork as a handle extension for the canteen cup, the lip in the canteen that can cause bacteria build up if not properly cleaned, among other points. I appreciate your analysis. You have gained a new subscriber.

Simple honest, sincere review by a pleasant chap, thanks

[erictortosa]

Thank you for the great video and comparison!

The D rings on the back of the canteen pouch are to make it easier to
Mount on belts of different width sizes. Also, you can adjust how high or low you want the pouch to sit!

[TheLeadEagle]

This was more thorough than Canterbury’s review! Thank you!

[robertchilders]

You did a very thorough job of comparing the pros and cons of the two systems. I learned a bit from your explanations, despite having owned a canteen, and used one, for over 50 years. Thanks very much for sharing. I subbed.

[terryshrives]

I always wanted to see the difference between the two. Great video!

[bushcraftjoe]

The d rings on the back will allow you to weave the molle thru as normal but also would allow you to attach slings or lash it to somerhing.

[TheDouglasTrevino]

I bought the Canteen Kit specifically for the canteen pouch. If you arrange the molly straps on the back of the canteen pouch correctly, they form two strong belt loops, and I like keeping my canteen on my belt. I keep an emergency space blanket, and the Pathfinder fire starters with it, and a few yards of bankline. My Mora Light My Fire lives right next to it on my belt. So for that extra $5 I have a basic survival kit on my belt, and a food pouch. On long day hikes I usually tie an Eno hammock or a tarp to the bottom of the pouch.

[roosteraj]

Thanks for a great review! You covered everything I wanted to know. I will get the bottle instead of the canteen. My decision came down to the lip folding outside for the bottle. I feel that it makes the bottle easier to maintain and more sanitary.

[sarge]

Slip the straps inside the D rings, snap them in. Then use the D rings to attach the pouch to something. (In the event the straps don't fit the situation.)
It's actually very smart. Great review bud. Very thorough and well done. Thanks for the video.

Best canteen or water bottle cleaner is Arm and Hammer baking soda. I keep baking soda in a spice container with the sprinkle holes on top. Sprinkle some baking powder into the container with about a cup of water. Put the lid on an shake vigorously. Pour it out and rinse thoroughly. It sanitizer and removes all odors. Never use soap or dish liquid to do this. There is a risk of soap residue that can cause illness. You did a great job on the comparison. It helped me make a decision.

[labellaescrima]

Nice comparison of those two products, although we agree that they are pretty similar if not exactly the same except some little difference. You basically clarified some issues I was wondering about and with that being said you have help me make up my mind. I am going for the Pathfinder Stainless Steel water bottle kits. Thank You Wolf Pack well done mate.

[MrWmburr]

That was not only an interesting discussion on these two systems, but it was incredibly thorough as well. Wow, great job! Thank you, sir.

[marodriguezsr]

Nice kits & great review, I too like Pathfinder products. The D rings on the back of the large canteen cook set pouch also allow you to run the straps through them & then mount on your belt/pistol belt. It serves well to strap it to your belt & then use in conjunction with the shoulder strap as well then it comes into its own & works great - Marco

[YankeeWoodcraft]

Either system is great, but I love the canteen. Much easier to grasp and hold when opening & closing than the round bottle. I also prefer the canteen's pouch as you can fit a complete PSK (personal survival kit) in it including a 5X7' tarp, an emergency poncho and a micro bivy for a very rudimentary shelter system, not to mention a micro fishing kit, fire kit, FAK, food packets, compass, bail wire, etc... Great thorough review and comparison. 👍🏻

I subbed because your ability to thoroughly cover a topic and clear talk is outstanding!
