After 4 months of hard use I am ready to tell you folks what I think of the Heavy Cover Titanium canteen and mess kit. It is freaking awesome!!! This piece of gear is light weight and very tough. It is .5 mil thick. That is a full .1 thicker that most of the other Ti cookware out there. Chris, the owner of Heavy Cover, told me the prototype was .4 mil. He said it felt flimsy. So instead of calling it good enough he had them made thicker.
The standard kit comes with the canteen, cup, and lid. The standard cap for the canteen is the same pattern as the Klean Kanteen lids. For a few more bucks you can upgrade to a Ti lid. The base price is about $143.00. I know it is expensive, but life is short.

This is what you will be getting if you win the giveaway.
Mine does not look like this anymore. I have baked, boiled, and used the crap out of this thing. The lid held up great even with a fire built on top of it.
I used the cup and lid to bake and heated water in the canteen many times.
it worked equally as well for heating water on my homemade wood burning tent stove.
The cup worked great on the fire. The Titanium seems to transfer heat a lot faster than other metals.
This is a little peach cobbler that I made, came out great.
I have posted this a few times but baking in this set is works great.

The kit also saw some use on my new MSR stove.
I carried this set with me in my kit bag. It worked great.
I would like to thanks Chris for sending me this an trusting me to do an honest review. It is a must have for people who love outdoor gear.
