Random questions on things that I need to work on

When the weather is warmer, I use an Open Country measuring cup for coffee.

When the weather is cold, I use the GSI insulated mug.

Not sure if either will nest (the OC might) but they are compact and comparatively lightweight for their purpose.

The measuring cup/insulated sleeve mug that comes with the GSI pinnacle soloist set nests decently on the outside of the current jetboil plastic mug. Not sure if you can get the gsi cup separate though.

Thanks Eric, I think that may work, looks promising.

"The second thing is a large water carrier that I can use for a dirty water container for a sawyer squeeze filter. Something like the platypus 6Lwater tank but usable as a gravity set up like the big zip.

How about a 4L replacement bag for the Platypus Gravityworks system, and use a Sawyer Mini as the inline filter?

A really cheap 4 to 8-liter bladder comes out of wine in a box. I've bought and also MYOGed adaptors from that bladder's outlet to tubing. It also makes a great shower bag. I trust them to haul water in my pack when placed within a slightly smaller stuff sack (such that the bladder is the waterproof lining while the stuff sack provides the strength (and also easy hanging).

Sorry for stating the obvious Kurt, but what's wrong with the cup that comes with the JB?

Doesn't hold a lot, but i've found it to be very convenient.

Mark, the jetboil cup is just to small for me, the same is with those little green camp cups. I think I may have found a good solution the twist n loc containers with a reflectix coozy. It seems to fit the bill nicely and I can also use it for heating my freezer bag meals.
