I can’t understate the value of being able to store and sanitize water.
In a survival situation, your number one priority is usually finding fresh water. Depending on your situation, you’ll probably need to find water within the first 24 hours. Having a good metal canteen is essential to your survival.
Why I love Stainless Steel Canteens
- They’re Dual Purpose! A good stainless steel canteen not only gives you the ability to store water, but it also doubles as a cooking vessel to sanitize any water you find.
- They’re stronger than plastic bottles. The last thing you want to worry about is a leaking plastic bottle. In my opinion, stainless steel bottles are a much better option.
- They’re Safer. They don’t leach dangerous chemicals into your water like plastic bottles.
- They Taste Better. In my opinion, water stored in my Stainless Steel Klean Kanteen tastes far better than any other plastic bottles I’ve tried.
- Water is the key to survival. Without water you die. You need the ability to store, carry and purify water; a metal canteen can do all three.

This canteen has a personal water purifier capable of quickly turning up to 350 liters (92.46 gallons). I have one myself and have drank out of the lake with this filter. Great product.
I love my Klean Kanteen’s. I have multiples:
2 – 27 oz narrow mouth
1 – 27 oz wide mouth
2 – 40 oz narrow mouth
1 – 40 oz wide mouth
1 – 64 oz wide mouth
I have had the narrow mouth bottles since they first came out at the local gear store, and when the wide mouth bottles came out, they fit the screw bottom of a popular water filter, the wider opening also accommodates the Steri-pen…
The company’s customer service has been outstanding on two instances I had to call to get replacement ‘o’-rings… IMHO you cannot go wrong with a Klean Kanteen!
Oh Yeah… these can also be placed in the fire to boil your water!
