Czech Mess Kit

Czech Army Mess Kit

This is the Czech Army's stainless steel mess kit: two cooking pots and a shallow lid that stack into one closed, round unit. A mess kit is a soldier's personal cook-and-eat set, and this one boils water, heats rations and serves as a bowl and plate at camp. It suits campers, hikers, bushcrafters and anyone building a field kit around genuine military-issue gear.

Features

• Stainless Steel Construction — Each piece is stainless steel, which resists rust and can go straight onto a camp stove or the coals of a fire.
• Three-Piece Set — The kit has a large pot, a smaller pot and a shallow lid, so one person can cook a main dish and a side at the same time.
• Nesting Design — The smaller pot sits inside the larger one and the lid closes over both, which keeps the whole set to the footprint of a single pot.
• Folding Wire Handles — Both pots have a steel wire handle that swings out for cooking and pouring, then folds flat when you pack up.
• Locking Handle Closure — With the kit stacked, the wire handles fold across the lid and clamp the set shut so it does not rattle apart in a pack.
• Lid Doubles As A Dish — The lid is a shallow pan in its own right and works as a plate, a frying dish or a cover for the large pot.
• Compact Round Profile — The closed kit is a smooth cylinder with no protruding parts, so it slides easily into a rucksack or vehicle box.
• Genuine Czech Army Issue — This is originally issued Czech military equipment, not a commercial copy.

Czech Issue Field Cookware

The Czech Army built this kit around a simple soldier's need: cook and eat from one set that packs small and puts up with daily field use. Plain stainless steel, wire handles and a nesting layout leave few parts to break or lose. For collectors and reenactors it is an authentic piece of Czech service kit, and for campers it is a practical pot set made to a military standard.
