Reddit mentions of GSI Outdoors Ultra-Durable, Rustproof, Fireproof Glacier Stainless Steel 14 fl. oz. Cup for Backpacking and Camping

I looked around and so far found a similar one from target, but hopefully OP will enlighten us.

EDIT: actually that says "baby" cup so I dunno if it's the right size lol

EDIT2: Amazon had a nice selection of mugs.

Ok cool, sounds like you have the skills to backup the gear. Like I said, I just don't want people to assume that buying "stuff" makes them prepared.

This mug looks pretty good for $9. Single-walled stainless so you can heat liquids in it. It's apparently Made in China, just like the rest of the world. Ideally I would want surgical stainless, Made in USA... but sometimes you get what you get.

You could also do something like this that will fit perfectly on the bottom of a 32 oz Nalgene. Collapsible handles and Made in India, I think.

I imagine you've done the math on this, but walking from one coast to the other will you take something like 3 months.

I have another question - why shotgun and not a carbine (AR)?

Disadvantages for a shotgun to me are:

• Heavier and bulkier ammo per shot
  
  
• Slower follow up shots (for me at least with a pump)
  
  
• Less range
  
  
• Usually heavier weapon
  
  
• Slower reloads
  
  
• Less shots before a reload.
  
  Advantages would be:
  
  
• Ammo versatility
  
  
• Pattern / close range devastation
  
  
• Easier to hit something moving (bird / small game)
  
  
• Dependability / simplicity
  
  
• Cost
  
  

Literally this,
