Cheap Canteen Para-Cover

If you go to Canteen Shop's store , you can seen an ingenious device called the canteen para-cover , designed to hold your canteen cup and stove to your canteen. However they are asking $28 for this strap.

At first I thought that due to the tight friction fit of my canteen with its cup that I could do away without one. After reaching in my bag and finding that they had separated a few times, I started to think that $28 looked rather attractive, though still on the expensive side.

Then it hit me: build my own.

I made this harness for free, using rubber bands that held my neighbor's newspaper together. Yes, I asked the neighbor if I could have the rubber bands before I took them.

Step 1 Materials Needed

In order to complete this project, you will need the following materials:

*/ Canteen
*/ Canteen Cup (with optional Canteen Stove)
*/ 3 rubber bands

Easy, right?
