This mug is nice to drink hot liquids from, and doesn’t take up any space if you already use Smart water bottles.

What kind of saw did you use to cut it?

Matt,

For you, I’ll weight it when I get home. But, I’m pretty sure you are far enough along the lightweight path that functionality (doesn’t burn lips like metal cups), durability and pack-ability take precedence over weight.

I cut it with one of these and then used a propane torch to melt/smooth the cut edge.

Nice call on flame polishing the edge.

I think we’ve got 4 or 5 unused nalgenes around here. Most were gifts from well-meaning family members and friends. I haven’t really thought about repurposing them.

We also have quite a few unused, or rarely used Nalgenes. Unfortunately, none were the right size so I had to spend $7 on Amazon prime.

Nice Casey!

The measurements make a great bonus.
