The Swiss army three-piece mess kit is surprisingly like the usual kidney shaped mess tins, but bigger than usual. You could even cook for two in this! Being used they look a bit scruffy but work just as they should.
Comprises of a large pot with a smaller lid with a folding handle. A smaller pot is hidden between these. The steel wire carrying handle can be used to hang the mess kit over a flame for some traditional outdoor cooking. All three pieces can also be carried together when separated - a feature most useful in chow queues, but might also bring a smile to the outdoorsman's face. Naturally, the pot has a large enough bottom to be used with any field stove too.
Being made of aluminium these are quite light and will not rust. Weight 500 grams (17.6 oz.), outside dimensions 19 x 20 x 10,5 cm (7.5" x 7.9" x 4.1").
In used, but good serviceable condition. Of course, being what they are, the outside appearance might be rough, but this doesn't hinder its use in any way. Of course, we suggest washing before use.
Made in Switzerland and extremely well, naturally.
