Survival Kit Items – The Canteen

Survival Gear
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 a stainless steel canteen?
- 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.
- They don’t leach dangerous chemicals into your water like plastic bottles.
- In my opinion, water stored in my Stainless Steel Kean Kanteen tastes better than any other bottle I’ve tried.
- Water is the key to survival, without water you die. You need the ability to store and carry water.



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.
