Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

I clip my mug to my bag,

• A) because I'm a slave to prolly
  
• B) because they're annoying to fit in bikepacking bags n shit.
  

Can't use insulated ones to boil in tho?

My mug of choice is the type 58 NATO one ( dont use the bottle tho):

Folding handles, large capacity, and indestructable. ALways pack it and put my stove in it

boin?

boil

Ah, thanks.
No longer do the minimal camping thing, so prefer the convenience of burn free hands.

So people boil water in the mug they drink it out of?

I really like it! It's plenty big and easy to work with and for the price you can't really beat it.

Insulated plastic mugs have all those properties without the hassle of burning your lips and not insulating your drink properly tho

So much this! Enamel mugs suck.
A friend of mine once dropped a full mug onto a sharp rock on managed to pierce the side so that it didn't hold anything at all...

Thanks for that. will check one out

Insulated mugs are a pain - I like my drink to cool to a comfortable temperature, thanks, not remain as hot as the surface of the sun and burn my lips off when I take a swig.

Also enamel doesn't taste funny like plastic can do.

On the one hand, I've realised I've spent quite a while arguing about enamel mugs with strangers on the internet, and I should probably just accept that people have their own preferences and leave it at that.

But on the other hand, I reckon it's best to have a more assertive strategy. To that end, if I ever see you with an enamel mug I'll rip it out of your hands, destroy it in a car crusher, murder you, blend your corpse into a thin gruel and sip it out of a PLASTIC MUG, singing the "Enamel mug cunt is dead" song just I've written.

Reader's wife's wife. Just built this up for my other half for commuting and light touring.

@Alexd look great!!! a much better job than I would have done, hope your wife enjoys it.

Yowsers! It's just a mug, breath deep, don't let the sight of tinware turn you into a cup crushing, bloody goo drinking evil bastard. But then again you could just blame it on austerity Britain and the impending doom of Brexit if you get found out. Anyways I'm off to light the campfire and enjoy a hot tasty beverage from my ...... mug.

I only find those tin mugs irritating when I actually try and use one, for reasons previously stated. Which is why it stays permanently carabinered to my bike.

I may just attach one to my bike and go find @fizzy.bleach, just for shits n giggles.
Much function.
