The Bear Grylls Canteen Kit - Merely another Flask?

The Bear Grylls Canteen Kit is among many products that Bear has release along with Gerber Gear. This kit is a bit more high-tech than canteens which have been used throughout history.

Archeologists believe that canteens have been in existence in a single form or any other for about 60,000 years. The fact that man cannot survive considerably more than 72 hours without water suggests in my experience they have been around longer than that.

Canteens have already been created from many materials. A number of the earliest were actually ostrich eggs with a small hole from the top that this water carrier wove a gift basket around. If you watch the show Dual Survival you have often seen one of many guys actually make use of this trick to transport water.

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

Many of these their very own different teams of problems once you make canteens from them. Eggs and gourds break easily, leather bags can develop leaks and have dry and crack or else looked after, 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 plus it was ready to provide inside the WWII war effort. There was many ways to use this plastic which included, naturally,Kit de supravietuire. Subsequently modern canteens have already been made almost exclusively beyond plastic.

Technology moves at the rapid pace and even though the canteens nowadays look the same as their ancestors their upgrades cause them to become a breed apart.

Most advanced canteens are "BPA free" meaning they're free of "Bisphenol A". It's probably an excellent to possess a BPA free water bottle. Through the reports Someone said, the situation arose from people using plastic baby bottles and heating them up which released the BPA and was ingested with the baby.

Therefore the question to ask is: Should you be in the desert plus your walking which has a hot canteen that isn't "BPA free" are you currently ingesting BPA? In all honesty, I not really know the answer to that question but "BPA free" canteens are easy to get so just why take the chance?

This brings us full circle on the latest canteen offering by Bear Grylls and Gerber. They attemptedto produce a high-tech canteen and money in about the recent survival/prepper wave. Although they did a good job in some in the important areas, I do think they missed the objective in others.
