Sierra Cup Questions

[dsuursoo]

in an effort to cut down primarily on bulk(i don't obsess about weight after having been in the military, i've never carried much more than half the load i did then), i've been thinking about switching from the GI canteen cup and cup-stove(runs on trioxane, hexamin and esbit, as well as wood), to a homemade tablet stove that's basically a tuna can with some modifications, and a sierra cup.

now, my question is, are there any sierra cups out there with a pint of capacity(i know there are some that are close), with a base that will neatly just fit into the top of this can stove of mine? for reference, it's a five ounce can, the top is about three and a quarter inches across or so.

i really like the pint capacity of the canteen cup, and it'll be no big loss if i lose the ability to burn wood in this stove(it's primarily for trail-side use and survival-situation water purification right now), i have other means.

so there we go... a sierra cup with pint capactity(or very close to it), and a base about 3-1/4 inches across.

does such a thing exist?

I've seen some larger Sierra Cups, but not as big as a pint. One thing I don't like about them in general is that the handle sticking out effectively increases the by about half. There are some folding handle versions, though.

yes, i've seen folding-handled cups too. Rei sells them for about ten bucks a shot. about ten ounces capacity. i think stansport sells the biggest ones out there, at least that i've been able to find.

i'm not concerned about the handle, as i figure i'll hook it/tie it to my shoulder strap or to my vest. the overall bulk of a sierra cup will still be less than my GI 1-qt canteen, though for what it's worth, the canteen cup and cup stove add no discernable bulk beyond the canteen's...

it'd be nice to simplify, though i dunno, the tuna can stove doesn't perform anywhere near as nice as i'd like.
