The Bear Grylls Canteen Kit - Just Another Flask?

The Bear Grylls Canteen Kit is just one of many goods that Bear has release together with Gerber Gear. This kit might be more high-tech than canteens that have been used throughout history.

Archeologists believe that canteens have been around in one form and other for about 60,000 years. The fact that man cannot survive a lot more than Three days without water suggests to me they've been around a lot longer than that.

Canteens are already made from many materials. Many of the earliest were actually ostrich eggs which has a small hole in the top that this water carrier wove a gift basket around. If you watch the show Dual Survival you have often seen one of several guys actually employ this trick to transport water.

As technology grew, gourds and leather bags used as canteens were substituted with glass. Once tin and aluminum arrived for the manufacturing scene these materials replaced glass canteens.

Many of these their very own different sets of problems whenever you make canteens out of them. Eggs and gourds break easily, leather bags can produce leaks and have dry and crack otherwise cared for, glass shatters and metal dents when banged around and develops pinhole sized leaks.

Finally, along came Dow Chemicals and Ethocel. Ethocel was Dow's first plastic also it was ready to supply within the WWII war effort. There was many uses of this plastic which included, of course,eql7.com. Since that time modern canteens are already made almost exclusively out of plastic.

Technology moves in a rapid pace and even though the canteens these days look the same as their ancestors their upgrades get them to a breed apart.

Modern canteens are "BPA free" so that they may be without any "Bisphenol A". It should be a good thing to get a BPA free water bottle. From your reports I read, the situation arose from people using plastic baby bottles and heating them up which released the BPA and was ingested by the baby.

Hence the question must is: Should you be out in the desert plus your walking using a hot canteen which is not "BPA free" do you think you're ingesting BPA? To tell the truth, I'm not sure the solution to that question but "BPA free" canteens are easy to get so why make chance?

This brings us full circle for the latest canteen offering by Bear Grylls and Gerber. They tried to build a high-tech canteen and cash in around the recent survival/prepper wave. Even though they did a great job in some of the important areas, I believe they missed the objective in other people.
