i haven't gotten any responses and i assume that i was being too flippant with my request. my apologies are offered.
however, i am actually asking what you folks use for cups when camping? i have been packing for more than 45 yrs. now and one of the most valuable of items in my gear was the cup. i've used siera cups, plastic cups, tin cups, and noggins. for getting by in the woods and eating around campfires and out of communal pots, the cup and spoon are where it is at.
up here march was called the "crusted over snow" month back whenever. that's because you can get just about anywhere you want to in the woods at this time of year. it is when i love to hunt burls. they are easy to spot and get to this time of year. i carve bowls and noggins from them.
i would like to know what you folks use and like. i just finished one inspired by the 'canoe cup' that is in hanson's Voyager's sketchbook. i will send along a picture maybe when i figure out how.
thank you and take care, daniel

I use a horn cup, the type that the handle is integral and heat formed over in a ? and nailed to the wood bottom. Doesn't burn your lips.

Can't show ya pictures Djnye...aint camera smart....but my small belt one is cherry, and one a tad larger for serious eating is made of beech. I bought one made of some exotic wood at Kalmazoo a couple years ago, but dont care as much for it.
I use a few different types,My favorite is one I turned on the wood lathe from Misquite wood,The wood is so dense that little food and drink will flavor it.I also carry a gourd canteen,works great but is a little delicate.I'm in the process of making some horn cups and utensils,only thing keeping me from finishing ,is time. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gifGordy
