View Full Version : Crusader Cup Lids
Also if you have a spare/unclaimed one I would love one of these and can paypal straight away!
Where did you get those wind screens? Do they work well?
It's the windscreen off my Swedish Army Trangia

Which I suspect is probably a good think. Put pieces of your kid into your pouch could get you in all sorts of trouble :D

Just as well these were not ones you had sent in advance. Did you get paid for all the ones you posted before receiving payment?
[aside} This may seem cheeky but I know Russell generally posted these as soon as he had an address, not as soon as he had payment and I would hope that such an act of trust had not been abused.

A great idea, well made, fits like a glove (well more like a well fitting pot lid i suppose but you get the idea)

Okay you asked Russ

One of you lids in use with the US forces - guy I know over there uses a Crusader so I offered him one of mine
Needless to say he was delighted with it!
I must say the construction is very robust! I already tried it directly over the coals of a fire (sorry, no pictures), and it works great. A big plus over coals is that the lid isn’t so tight fitting that you can’t lift it off with a small hooked-branch to see if it’s boiling. Another great feature is the small handle on the top; it’s nice and tight, so once you put it in the up position, it stays put!
He gets about it so you may get piccs from some "interesting" locations :D

Sorry if I got things confused about whether or not they were freebies. :o :o :o I guess you'll let us have the paypal (or other) details in due course. They sound excellent value - as I think people have said before, you really should patent these before someone copies them.
Geoff :)
I've already made a few LOL Both for the crusader and the US army G10 :D

Hello
First of all hi from a new member....my dad made me one of these back when I first joined the Army (way back in 81 (yes, I know pull up a sandbag etc...!)). The smart advice then was to ditch the 58 pattern mug and use a metal US one as it meant you could do without mess tins and save weight etc. Was also big enough (just) to fry one egg or 2 slices of bacon grill... Unfortunately this antique (the lid not me) doesnt quite fit on the Crusader and I have avoided the BCB placcie thing so far for all the reasons stated on here. Currently I am using a small frying pan as the lid but its a bit on the big side still. I am working in Cambodia at the moment so will try to get one made up here, but if not would be delighted to get added onto the bottom of the list, £10 seems very reasonable for me if its still a goer...

Hi Russ,
One for me whenever you start up again.

Me too please. I'm sure I'll find time to use it (once I've finished scraping the BCB plastic off my mug :( )
