class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Canteen cups are cups that are nested in the top or bottom of a canteen.<\/p>\n<p>A canteen cup can be an essential survival tool for outdoor enthusiasts and people in the military. It was not until 1910 that the Military started using a canteen system that included the popular canteen cup.<\/p>\n<p>These containers can have many functions, which is why the military uses them. It&#8217;s one of the items they always have with them. Listed below are 10 ways to use them that will be useful for you to know.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Canteen_Cup_Uses\"><\/span>10 Canteen Cup Uses<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Boiling Water<\/li>\n<li>Cooking Food<\/li>\n<li>Digging Holes<\/li>\n<li>Carrying Items<\/li>\n<li>Drinking<\/li>\n<li>Making a perimeter alarm<\/li>\n<li>Stove<\/li>\n<li>Dipper<\/li>\n<li>Make a char cloth<\/li>\n<li>Shaving cup<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Boiling_Water\"><\/span>Boiling Water<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you need hot water for coffee when you are enjoying the outdoors all you need to do is heat your canteen cup, but make sure it is covered with a lid. Using a lid will trap the heat inside and make your water boil faster.<\/p>\n<p>When you are out in the field of the wilderness you may find yourself needing to purify water or boil up snow to drink in order to remain hydrated. With a canteen cup, you have the tool needed to avoid dehydration.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cooking_Food\"><\/span>Cooking Food<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Most often canteen cups are used to cook soups, noodles and rice dishes; though, other foods can be cooked as well in a canteen cup. Cooking the above foods follows the same process as boiling water.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Digging_Holes\"><\/span>Digging Holes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In a pinch, you can use your canteen cup as a shovel. The shape of the cup makes it great for digging in the dirt when you do not have a shovel handy.<\/p>\n<p>Gardeners can use a canteen cup to dig small holes to plant vegetables or flowers if they do not have a trowel.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Carrying_Items\"><\/span>Carrying Items<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you need to transfer small items from one place to another a canteen cup works great; especially for transporting liquids.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Drinking\"><\/span>Drinking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Canteen cups allow you to drink the contents of your canteen without having to drink directly out of your canteen. This is better if you plan on sharing your canteen with others.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Making_a_Perimeter_Alarm\"><\/span>Making a Perimeter Alarm<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When you are out camping you can protect yourself by setting up an alarm around the perimeter of your campsite. You can use your canteen cup to make this alarm system.<\/p>\n<p>You need to string your canteen cup up on a line and place rocks inside. When an intruder, person or animal, makes their way into your campsite they will come in contact with the line and cause a clatter alerting you to their presence.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stove\"><\/span>Stove<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When you are out in the wilderness trying to survive you will need a way to prepare yourself meals o. A stove can be a necessity but you can\u2019t always carry around elaborate grills with you.<\/p>\n<p>A canteen cup can be used effectively to cook your dinner. All you need to do is invert your canteen cup so the cup is facing down and the bottom is facing upward.<\/p>\n<p>This will provide you with a stovetop to use.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dipper\"><\/span>Dipper<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Another purpose of a canteen cup is as a dipper. A dipper is a cup that can be used to dip into other liquids and transfer them to another container.<\/p>\n<p>You can use a canteen cup as a dipper to fill your canteen or bring back stream water to your campsite to boil away any impurities<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Make_a_Char_Cloth\"><\/span>Make a Char Cloth<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Another ingenious way to utilize a canteen cup is to use it to create a char cloth. Char cloth can be made out of cotton, linen, or jute.<\/p>\n<p>Putting a piece of material in a heated up canteen cup with a lid will make char cloth. Char cloth is a slow-burning fuel that can easily be ignited.<\/p>\n<p>This is an efficient way to start a fire.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shaving_Cup\"><\/span>Shaving Cup<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>People often use canteen cups as storage devices for small items. One thing people often store in these cups is their shaving essentials because it&#8217;s easy to carry from one location to another.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Canteen\"><\/span>Best Canteen<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Have you ever used a <a href=\"https:\/\/goto.walmart.com\/c\/1935658\/565706\/9383?veh=aff&amp;sourceid=imp_000011112222333344&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FStanley-Classic-24Oz-Vacuum-Food-Jar%2F8477191\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Stanley Canteen<\/a>?
