Military Surplus Canteens
Genuine Surplus • Water Bags • Hydration Systems
Stay watered in the field with the same gear soldiers carried. Shop genuine GI and foreign-army canteens — USGI 1-quart, East German, Czech, Austrian, Romanian and French sets — plus Swedish and Swiss water bags and modern CamelBak hydration systems. Real surplus, honest prices, ready for the trail, the range, or the bug-out bag.
Military Surplus Canteens & Hydration
Water is the one piece of kit you can’t do without, and a proper canteen has carried soldiers through the field for generations. We stock 12 ways to stay hydrated — from genuine GI and foreign-army canteens and nesting cups to bulk surplus water bags and modern CamelBak hydration systems — all part of our field gear lineup.
Genuine Surplus Canteens & Cups
Nothing beats a real military canteen for field use, and we carry issue examples from both sides of the old Iron Curtain. The USGI 1-Quart Plastic Canteen is the BPA-free, olive-drab standard that drops straight into any LC-2, ALICE, or MOLLE 1-quart pouch — grab a carrier from our bags and packs. For collectors and field-cooks alike, the East German NVA Set pairs a 1-quart bottle and aluminum cup inside an original Strichtarn rain-camo cover, while the Czech M60 Canteen wraps a ~0.8L aluminum bottle in an insulating wool-felt cover with leather retaining straps — pure Warsaw Pact. The Romanian Army Canteen adds a nesting butterfly-handle cup, wool cover, and belt carabiner, and the Mil-Tec Austrian Canteen with Cup gives you a 1-quart aluminum bottle, nesting drinking cup, and original cover for trail and bushcraft. Need just the cup? The French Army Canteen Cup nests under a standard 1-quart canteen with folding butterfly handles — perfect for boiling water or rounding out a mess kit.
Water Bags & Bladders
When a quart won’t cut it, surplus water bags haul serious volume for camp, base, or emergency storage. The Swedish Army 25L Water Bag — the rubberized-vinyl Trelleborg “Vattensack” with a top fill plug and bottom drain valve — is a bug-out and basecamp favorite, and the 5-gallon Swiss Army 20L Water Bag adds a push-button spigot and rope handles, doubling as a sun-warmed field shower. Both stash flat in a pack until you need them, right alongside the rest of your tactical gear.
Modern Hydration Systems
Hands-free hydration has become standard issue, and we carry the combat-proven hardware to match. The CamelBak ThermoBak 100oz carries 3 liters in an insulated Cordura pack with MOLLE attachment and an external fill port. Already running a bladder? The CamelBak HydroLink Conversion Kit retrofits it with a HydroLink quick-release, HydroLock shut-off, and high-flow Big Bite Valve, while the CamelBak Gas Mask Hydration Kit is a USGI 4-piece CBRN set with Type M and Type A adapters for M40 and M50 masks. For Marines and ruck-runners, the genuine USMC Source Replacement Drinking Tube Kit brings a Storm push-pull bite valve, QMT quick-disconnect, and insulated cover to fit ILBE/FILBE and most bladders. Whether you carry a 70-year-old aluminum canteen or a modern bite valve, every order ships from Keep Shooting with fast handling and our satisfaction guarantee — explore the full military surplus store while you’re here.
