My buddy found a 24 oz Monster Energy can with a resealable lid at the gas station the other day. Although it lacks durability, I thought it would make a great dual use cookpot/water bottle for a SUL or super low volume gear list. it weighs 1.5 oz on my kitchen scale. I figure it could only be used for freezer bag cooking though.
Here is a picture of it:
Haha, I actually bought one of these last week, drank it, and weighed it. I wasn't too confident in the durability especially with how tall it is. Perhaps someone could make a stove out of it and utilize the cap in some manner.
It's an interesting piece that someone smarter than me may be able to utilize.
