Will last a lifetime.
Review by Stephen K. on 9 Nov 2019 review stating Will last a lifetime. 11 years ago, I found myself lost on the John Muir Trail somewhere in the Kings Canyon watershed. After I got myself un-lost, I found out I went down an old-section of the Muir Trail. But before that, I was deep in denial that I was lost. I would climb up the mountain side looking for the trail. I would spot a trail and head towards it only to find it terminate to a nothingness. Beautiful area though. As the sun set, I knew I wouldn't have enough time to backtrack the miles I had journeyed off trail. Young and scared, I made a big arrow from long pieces of deadwood in the direction I was headed hoping a plane would spot it for my rescue. I came to peace that I would need to make shelter and keep my mind occupied in order to stave away fear. My buddy had the water filter and I knew I needed clean water for the trek back--I only had about 150 mLs of bad tasting iodized water left and a limited amount of fuel. I built a fire and boiled water in my 700mL cup and this 450mL cup. For some reason, prior to this event, I never thought I could use this cup for cooking. It performed perfectly and by nightfall, I had almost two liters of clean water for the trek back. The blackened wood resin that seared onto this cup would long be a reminder of my passage through the fear into confidence. Now a decade later, resin cleaned off, this is still my favorite cup to drink all beverages. Whiskey, water, wine, coffee, tea... Its interior is now smoothed out from a decade of use. This cup will withstand decades of more use and will always be a reminder of memories good and bad--of times to come and times past.
