The best solutions are always the simplest.

thats not what i was refering to. A lot of the time for work, we generally only take the one mess tin and its a bit of a faff taking everything out to cook with (rare as it is, generally just use bamboo pots) but i also want to store things in something that i can transfer to other bags from my webbing etc (as i said below)
at the end of the day, the question is, does the tin fit in the mess tin, that question has been answered. thanks.

So true but so often ignored. I store stuff in zip lock bags in my mess tins, you can transfer them easy enough.
Truth be told, Trekkingnut just wants a new tin to play with,,,come on,,,be honest, nothing wrong in that ether lol.

albeit that is a more helpful answer its still not what im after, everything sorta slots in as opposed to just lying in so if i put it in a zip lock, when i took it out, i wouldnt be able to get it back in if that makes sense.
tin will be fine! even if it is shiny....

So does it fit in the smaller one then or is that too tight?
Squirrely mod!

As I recall, the highlander tin is the same size as the small one, so no.
I use one as my "camp kitchen"
I fill it with stock cubes, spices, garlic paste, tomato puree a spatula, tongs, KFS tabasco and such
35mm film canisters are a perfect size for slotting into it.
If the thought of something makes me giggle for longer than 15 seconds, I am to assume that I am not allowed to do it.

i would say no as well mate, though i havent tried and am too lazy to get up and do so, it fits so damn snugly in the large one that you have to up end the mess tin to let it drop out....
still worth it though!
