Crusader Cup Lids

[warthog1981]

I was just wondering how everyone is getting on with there lids ?
Would any one like to do a little review on them ?
It would be nice to see some pictures of them out and about getting used ;)

cheers russ :D

[Fin]

I don't have one of yours Russ - will you be making any more? The rubbish placcy one that came with mine has melted!

[giancarlo]

I just got mine last week but not had a chance to get out with it.
I'll be doing a little review on my blog when I get the chance tho :)

Think Red has some good pics of it in use, even though he's "pimped" it with a black version twist.

Cheers
Carlo

[British Red]

Russ,

Mine has been really well used. I did "pimp" it with black stove enamel to match my cup. Its now chipped. To match my mug :o

It is bloody brilliant - far better than that bit of BCB plastic tat. In fact, when you want to make some more, I'll take 3 please. I think my pics of it in use are well known - I have also sussed out that it works well with a billy hanger attached to the mug (I can do piccs if you wish)

My review

The "Capped Crusader" fits over the cup and is easy to remove after a boil to add coffee, milk etc to your cup. The "D ring on the lid means it can be "hooked" off after prolonged cooking (SAKs have a special tool - Rus's lid id the only real use I have found for it). Post cooking / boiling, the lid is cool enough to pack before the brew is cool enough to drink.

The BCB piece of plastic tat is hard to fit, sticks into the cup meaning you get scalded removing it to add your brew mix. It also has a bloody great hole for the steam to escape increasing brew time.

BCB - absolute crap - costs £2 and not worth it.

Russ's "Capped Crusader". Can't think how to improve it 5*

Red (I really do want 3 more)

[warthog1981]

I,ll see what i can do Red ;)

[EdS]

if ther are any more I'd be interested.

[MagiKelly]

I think I have some pictures but I think Russell may be in the background in most of them :D

Since I got the lid for my Crusader I use it for all my meals, except when Russell is with me. Then we need to use the really big pots ;)

My mug may have been in the fire once or twice :cool:

[CLEM]

I wouldent mind one of these meself as I use my Crusader mug alot these days!

[Chopper]

I have to agree, and give it 20/10 for every aspect.

When are you going in to full time production on these and your fab cliclstand's ?????:You_Rock_ :You_Rock_ :You_Rock_ :You_Rock_

[Zammo]

I don't have one of yours Russ - will you be making any more? The rubbish placcy one that came with mine has melted!

Was that a BCB one?

Red stop hogging all the stuff! :D

[Fin]

Was that a BCB one?

Red stop hogging all the stuff! :D

Yep! I was experimenting with an alcohol set up and the flames flared up the front of the mug and melted the plastic - I had to use a blue flame lighter to melt the plastic off the lip of the mug and it took forever (melt, wipe, melt, wipe etc etc).

Russ - free advice - patent and market your design - it's a winner. You can sell your rights to BCB if you don't want to go into commercial manufacture and the British Army, for one, will thank you :D

P.S. Please make some more - I really want one!!

[Chainsaw]

I'll have one too, they are a 100 times better than my homemade effort! :notworthy

http://www.bushcraftuk.com/images/blog_images/7204/DSCF0057small.jpg

Although may I humbly suggest drilling a hole or two in the top to let the steam out and tell you when it's boiling?

Cheers,

Alan

[British Red]

I shall hog only the best stuff then :)

For those who don't know what all the fuss is about

The absolute rubbish BCB lid (better than nothing tbh but if you can get one of Russ's then do)

[warthog1981]

its easy to tell when it boiling without the steam holes :)

[Chopper]

Russ, I think your getting press ganged here!!!!

[spamel]

I saw an old dented thin aly mess tin up in the woods the other day. I may go and rescue it, didn't have the space at the time to shift all the crap! I reckon I could make a good lid from it after I scrub and disinfect it!

[rapidboy]

I use mine all the time , it's a great job.

It has developed a bit more "character" since this pic was taken :D

HHHhhhhhmmmmmmmmm I shall try and be a little more in depth then the others with my review of the lid!!!










Bloomin Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nuf said

(on a more serious not mine gets used all the time in fires, on gas you name it it has never failed, and is still in good shape)

I would deffinatly take another should the opportunity arrise!

Cheers

[bushman762]

I seemed to have missed this sale! But if I ever get a s/s mug at the right price, I sure would like a lid. How much where / are they selling at?

Cheers

:)

[warthog1981]

ive just been working on a couple of prototype lids these ones are made out of thicker aluminium and have a brushed finnish to them. They still seem to shape ok and I cant see them ever waring out :rolleyes: when I get them all finnished i,ll post up a picture of one.
I should have enough for around ten lids :)

[British Red]

three please Russ!

[Dougster]

A Royal Marine friend of mine had a play at the weekend, I think the phrase was 'Hoofin' and he wants one.

Nuff said.

[SCOMAN]

I'll have one if there's enough available

[rik_uk3]

Put me down for 2 please

[warthog1981]

I'm s orry to tell everyone that Ive had a total disaster making the new batch of lids.
its taking so long to cut and shape them and there smashing my template to bits to
:aargh4: :aargh4: :aargh4: so theres not going to be any up for grabs at the moment so im so s orry for getting poeples hopes up for nothing :o

[British Red]

No worries Russ - appreciate you trying

Have some utterly pointless rep (a phrase which now merely serves to confuse newer members- so it does have a purpose :))

rED

[Toadflax]

No problem at all. Please don't feel guilty - there's no need.


Geoff :You_Rock_

[Fin]

No worries Russ - craftsmanship takes time and I'm very patient!

To echo Red - take the rep anyway!

[SimonM]

Strange how we all seem to come up with a solution to a problem!

I bought my Crusader mug / cooker & BCB lid at the start of summer and instantly took a dislike to the lid. I made one from some scrap aluminium sheet that was in the garage, gave it a coating of staove enamel and the rest is history.

I originally whittled a peg to act as a handle but "borrowed" the idea about picture hooks and the 3 small steam holes from this thread. I am well pleasd with the results and is has served me well so far!

[SCOMAN]

Thanks for trying Warthog

[warthog1981]

Ive just orderd a 1m x1m sheet of aluminium sheet of the right thickness should have it by the weekend, seems strange paying for it :werd:
And im going to need to make a new template to but fingers crossed ill have some lids knocked up some time next week :rolleyes:

[MikeE]

I would love one if you have enough material!

[AndyW]

I've heard about these lids before. Could you put me down on the list too please?

Many thanks.

Andy

[warthog1981]

just a wee update got my sheet of aluminium and knocked up a lid just to make sure its going to work ......... .............................. .............. and its perfect for my lids
I'll get a new template made and get cracking on them ;)

[Steve27752]

I would like one PLEASE!

[British Red]

Good man Russ

[spamel]

Could you put me down on your ever growing list for one of these fine lids please? I was gonna make my own, but I will just end up with a twisted lump of crap metal!

[dean4442]

ooh one for me too pretty please with a cherry on top and loads of hundreds and thousands:D :D :D :D
colin

[CLEM]

I would like one too if thats ok!:)

[Fin]

Nice one Russ, still interested!

[Chainsaw]

Russell,

Been said before but you should really start selling these, look at the demand you have already. You could even get a cheap punch set from somewhere and number/inital them, warthog enterprises ;)

Cheers,

Alan

[Corso]

would love one too if theres any chance your making a run of them :)

[gorilla]

as i said before - defo want one

[SCOMAN]

Yes please if you have one available

[Spacemonkey]

[Wigate]

Russ
Please PM me about how to acquire one of your lids.
Many thanks

[Zammo]

As there seems to be so much interest in these lids can they be limited per person?

[rat pac]

Russ
I would like to order one of your lids if you have any left
am willing to wait, cash on the hip

[Kepis]

Bugger missed this thread completely, shame would have liked one of them there lids, he says hoping he can get his name added to the list?:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[Fin]

Nice one Russ - I wasn't expecting such a fast production! Thanks too to Gorilla for tidying up the admin.

[Selous]

Hi Russ, I've just come upon this thread. I can see you've got your hands (and order book) full. If there is a possibility that there might be a bit of metal left for yet another lid, I'd like one too, please. Looks excellent.


Thanks.

Richard

[warthog1981]

if every one on the list can pm me there adress please :rolleyes: there all finnished its been a long day :D ill get them in the post on Tuesday
I might just have a couple going spare :o


cheers Russ

[SquirrelBoy]

Hi Russ, if there is a chance of a spare one can i put my name down for one.
Many thanks.

[Wigate]

Russ,

I sent a PM to you for my order as I am on the list..
Thank you so much for your great effort.

[Treeclipper]

Hi russ,

PM sent , Thanks again.

Tree

[Dougster]

Details sent. Thanks again, I'm sure my mate will be as chuffed with it as I am.

[Toadflax]

Mr Warthog is telling us that he is going to post these out on Tuesday...but he hasn't said anything about payment yet. I hope I'm not overstepping the mark here 'cos I don't know if he is being very generous to us all, or a little bit tardy in telling us what they are going to cost.

I'm very happy to pay him for all the effort he has put into this, as I think he deserves some recompense, but if he really is giving them away then I'm going to give what I think the lid is worth to Mr Red's latest project. I'm not trying to persuade anybody else to do this, but just sowing the seed in peoples' minds if they think it is appropriate to make a donation to a suitable charity.


Geoff

[spamel]

I was thinking this earlier on, asked for a price on these by PM and was going to suggest the same as you have if Russ was doing them as freebies.

[warthog1981]

:o £7 was the going rate for them :o

[spamel]

Paypal good for you?

[Buckley8219]

Cool, great price, i've pm'd you so give me your addy and i'll send the funds over.

Cheers, your efforts are much appreciated.

[gorilla]

cheap as chips - just waiting for your paypal addy Russ, and the cash will be straight over!

[Fin]

Yep! I'm the same mate - asked about payment on my PM. PayPal?

Cheers Russ - looking forward to this one, I've a feeling it's going to be an extremely useful purchase - especially with the colder months upon us.

[Toadflax]

:o £7 was the going rate for them :o

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 :)

[warthog1981]

I dont think I could patent these :o

[Dougster]

We could always round up the cost to £10, which seems fair, and send the £3 to our chosen charity.

It seems a tidy sum if we all did it.

[andy_e]

Sounds fine to me - PM on its way

[Angus Og]

Russ C lid arrived this morning, looks great think I'll nip out for a bit and give it a try out even if it is raining.

Many thanks.

[Corso]

pm'd re this mate appologies for not confirming sooner (I'm on the list) but i've been away

Hi Russ,

Lid arrived this morning, just tested it out, lovely bit of kit.

It does boil faster with this than with the plastic one. :)
& fits in the pouch nice as well.

Cheers again. :D

Tree

[Toadflax]

What a good looking bit of kit. Arrived at work today, so I can't wait to get home and try it.

:You_Rock_ Well done Mr Warthog! And he hasn't even got my money yet (cheque's in the post).



Geoff

[Zammo]

Arrived today thanks!

:You_Rock_

Cheque will be posted tomorrow.

Now to do the trainspotter test of boiling water with the lid, with the BCB lid and with no lid and recording the times. :D

[Spacemonkey]

Got mine today too! Wunderbar!!!!

[gorilla]

also received, and PO sent today
many thanks Russ - as the saying goes, 'that's a mint bit of kit'

[warthog1981]

im glad everyone happy :)

[dean4442]

My lid turned up today and all I can say is good work that man!:You_Rock_ :You_Rock_

[rik_uk3]

Mine arrived today, great bits of kit they are, many thanks chap:You_Rock_

[Zammo]

Ok did a test, tried getting the water to a rolling boil with the metal lid, BCB lid and no lid with a Colemans Micro Stove, here are the results:

No Lid
Time: 7 minutes. Pro's: Easy to see progress. Con's: Slow, contents not covered (can lead to contamination).

BCB Lid
Time: 6 minutes. Pro's Easy to see progress. Con's: Lid a nightmare to remove (I had to use a spoon to lever it off and even then it fell into the boiling water. However a liquid could be poured without removing the lid), cannot be used on a fire as it would melt.

Metal Lid
Time: 5 minutes. Pro's Fast, Lid easy to remove. Con's: Can't see progress (but you can hear when it's boiling as the lid starts ratterling).

[warthog1981]

cool nice to see a comparison :) could every one whos sending me a payment please put there forum name with it to as it gets confusing trying to work out whos paid.


cheers russ


PS it would be good to have pictures of them getting put through there paces

[British Red]

I've Paid. The big squirrel picture was a hint :D

REd

[basha]

Super job; thanks Russ.
I PM'd and sent you a cheque yesterday.

[andy_e]

Many thanks again, think I put my BCUK name on the back of my cheque :D

[spamel]

Got mine at lunchtime, and then the missus gave me an early birthday present. I am christening my Kuksa as we speak!

Cheers Russ, it is just the ticket!

:D

[rik_uk3]

As some of you know, I'm not a lover of the crusader mug, but this lid has improved its boil times to the point where I will now allow a crusader to sit above one of my beloved stoves;)

Don't however any of you think I am going soft and will start liking the Swedish Military meths cookset, that won't ever happen:sad6:

[Beer Monster]

if every one on the list can pm me there adress please :rolleyes: there all finnished its been a long day :D ill get them in the post on Tuesday
I might just have a couple going spare :o


cheers Russ

Did you end up having any spare? If not are you going to be making any more in the future ......? :D

[andy_e]

Arrived today, many thanks Russ, looking forward to trying it out at Middlewood tomorrow.

[Fin]

Just got home tonight (working away this week) to find the capped crusader waiting for me.

First impressions? Beautifully conceived and executed - it fits the cup perfectly and the fold flat handle means it also fits in the PLCE pouch.

I'll keep you posted with some burn trials Russ but, for now, it's my best value for money gear purchase and I urge you to pursue some commercial reward for what is a fabulous idea!

[AndyW]

Russ,

many thanks for this. It's a great bit of kit.

payment is on the way :D

Andy

[Toadflax]

PS it would be good to have pictures of them getting put through there paces

Not a very glamorous location, but here's mine being used for the first time down the bottom of the garden. Much easier to use than the BCB plastic one - though that one served me well in its time.

Russ,

Many thanks for the great help. I received mine today and I can say my mess kit is complete with this last piece of equipment.

I also converted my Crusder mug to a billy can by wrapping a stainless steel wire below the lip of the mug and putting two loops on either side. Now I can use it either with a handle or by suspending it over a fire. Your lid would still fit into this rig nicely and I dont have to buy a Zebra billy can.

Mine worked a treat at Middlewood, was trying it out on my PocketCooker (first time use of that too). A few folk were asking if you planned on making more - so you might have a wee cottage industry going there ;)

[warthog1981]

hi just a wee update for folks Ive just ordered another sheet of aluminium enough for another 48 lids but I don't plan on making them anytime to soon :o
Thank you to everyone for there kind words about my lids there very much appreciated
:) :) :)

big thanks Russ :D

[Spacemonkey]

Thanks a lot for mine- my mates who got theirs think they are ace too.

"I'm Mr Stoddart" No, I am, really. "The name's Stoddart...."

Arrived today. Excellent bit of kit. I'm off to my bolt-hole in Northumberland next weekend and I'm taking it with me. I'm making it and the mug my focus for an ultra-light trip (which is usually what I aspire to anyway); just the kit I stand up in, tarp shelter, consolidated as necessary against the weather, open-fire cooking....

Thanks.

Richard

Has everyone got there's that ordered one ?

cheers Russ

[spamel]

Mine arrived but I still haven't used it! Sorry! I've been a bit poorly, so hopefully it will get used this weekend. I've got a little trip planned, just a day hike, but hopefully it will come into it's own in this weather.

[Spacemonkey]

Excellent keep the pictures of them in use coming :D



I think we should have a competition of pics of them being used in the coolest location, a bit like when people send pics in to magazines of them being read ontop of Everest and the like.

My last pics were at Seacombe, Purbecks, Dorset coast.

Btw, I had a ration pack in there heating up in now time then topped up the water for a brew. The lid really made a difference on a day so cold that Greenheat sachets normally won't boil water.:thanks:

[Dark Horse Dave]

Hi there Warthog

I haven't ploughed through all 3 pages of this thread and you may have answered this already, but can I have one please - either now if you have any or sometime in the future if/when you knock up some more?

Thanks a lot

Me too! Thanks.

What fuel are you using for these? I was using the hexi blocks the other night but they burn pretty quickly.

[Spacemonkey]

I used Greenheat 'Green Slime' sachets. Normally in anything less than 5C they won't boil water, but with the addition of a well fitting lid, they certainly do!

[rik_uk3]

put me down for another 2 please :)

[Kepis]

Im still in for one when you make the next batch - cheers

[mick miller]

Hi, this forum may prove to be expensive for me, so much ingenuity.

I've used the Crusader for 80% of my outdoor cooking over the last three years (I'm an aspiring b'crafter but a more capable long session angler) and have always used tin plates balanced on top to create a lid. Needless to say a less than perfect solution.

Seeing these and seeing the reviews I think I'd rather like one (maybe two). Two questions; 1). Are they dreafully expensive? 2). What metal have you fashioned these from?

Thanks in advance,

Mick.

1: £7 and
2: Aluminium

Dogs danglies.

[Venturer]

I would definitely like one of these when you make the next batch.

From the look of the photos they have a very professional finish.

thanks

[mick miller]

Okay, I'm up for one of the next batch. Better than my 'accident waiting to happen jenga-style' balanced hot plate. Let me know how I go about sorting the payments out (PayPal etc.)

[lou1661]

If there is another batch and there is one spare can you put me down for one?

Cheers
louis

[bushscout1]

I'm also interested in one of these Crusader Lids please, if there's one going?

Please can you let me know when they'll be ready & when / how you want payment?

Cheers

Hi Russ

Mine arrived this morning as well, and it looks really good.

Many thanks indeed,

DHD

[mick miller]

Hey Thanks Russ!

Just dropped onto the doormat, looking good. Can I ask where you got your little loops from on the top, I'd like to add some of those to a couple of stainless pots I've got and can't find a source anywhere?

All the best and thanks againhttp://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/images/icons/icon7.gif

[warthog1981]

Ill pop some in the post for you how many would you like ?:)

[mick miller]

Thanks Russ, I only need four, it'd be handy to know what they're called though for the future. The only thing I can find close is a d-ring fixing used to hand pictures and its just way to flimsy.

Those you've used on the lids look like they'd last a lifetime! A proper job as they say...

[warthog1981]

They just come from my local hardware department ill bung 4 in an envelope for you :)

[mick miller]

Thanks Russ, your very generous. Let me know if you want owt for them.

Still got my address?

[Glen]

Mine arrived yesterday morning, thanks, looks a nice piece of additional kit.

[Prophecy]

Russ,

Lid received today. Looks great - very pleased. Thanks again for your hard work!

Paul

[Angus Og]

Lids arrived on Saturday, many thanks for all the work and time you have put into these lids.
