Tatonka Handle Mug

I was specifically looking for a mug that would fit with my Nalgene 32oz/1L bottle as an alternative cooking method on a day loadout.This fits perfectly, snug & the handle folds in nicely too, so I'd recommend it for that alone.A good quality build, think this one is going to be a keeper. I might just grab another one straight away to carry as a spare or on top of the bottle too.Have attached a photo for visual - Hope this helps :)

Having now been using my Tatonka mug for over 6 months for making a quick brew in the shed, overnight & weekend lightweight camping trips, etc, I can definitely say it was and is worth every penny. In spite of my reservations about the internal measurement markings, I can confirm that they are unchanged - as far as I can tell - after many scrubbings with a standard green scourer like those found in most kitchens. The handle does an excellent job being long enough to stay cool (hint - keep it on the upwind side of the flames) as well as being stable and controllable so that you don't dump your eagerly-awaited brew on the ground. This is now my standard small cooking pot/brewing up 'kettle', it cooks two sachets of instant porridge at a time for a quick and easy camping breakfast; ground coffee + cold water + heat = an excellent cuppa.I can't imagine another piece of kit replacing it, it's that good at what it does.

So far so good. Got this camping/backpacking mug as I'd heard that it 'nested' well with the Stanley cook set (as you can see in the image). The Stanley cook set lid also fits the cup so could work well for extra light pack (could put the cup direct onto a stove/fire with it being stainless steel).Seems pretty solid, and a good size too. Could be used as a small bowl to eat out of if needed.I'm happy with the weight personally but obviously if you're serious about keeping weight to a minimum then probably worth remembering that there will be lighter alternatives (no doubt at a noticeable cost).Ideal for me. Would recommend for sure.

... as my cookpot nestles in this Tatonka Mug quite nicely . An added bonus , the pot lid fits too . The 6" * 4" Leather hot pot handler & mat wraps around my cookpot and holds the Tatonka Mug for a non-slip no rattle carry .Note : I would never suspend my cookware like that for carry or in regular use but it demonstrates the very good fit .

Decent quality and thickness but still fairly light and just wide enough to sit on a standard outdoor gas cooker. Four stars not five because the handle could be more useable, it's not great to hold or to prop it up over a fire, also there's no lid which obviously isn't in the description but every good camping mug should have one and this doesn't which means you end up wasting heat energy and taking longer to heat everything. Also you get bits of the outside in your mug.Side note - regular litre thermos flasks slot inside quite nicely too which is often useful.

This 'mug' is Perfect, the handle works well, surprisingly. The size is big for a mug (diameter 10 cm.) but is just right to fit on the outside of the ' Stanley Flask Adventure Camp Cook Set ' and to be used as a '1 man / quick food' cooking pot (- 1 tin of baked beans size).The depth & curve of the base is finger licking perfect. You can get a stainless steel mug for £1.28 (2013bestbuybest) - so at £9 this mug is expensive, but it is worth it if it is to be used as described. - Rude Boy

Its a good solid sturdy mug that does not feel like its going to break too easily.The handles are good and easy to hold the cup by even when full.It has very useful markers inscribed inside to show quantity in Ml (marked inside..not outside like in the picture but i prefere it that way).My coleman 100 size gas canisters fit perfectly inside.As its a single wall steel cup it gets quite hot with boiling water inside but you can use the handles until it cools a little then it can be used to warm your hands on a cold day.Some reviews have said that the cup tips when EMPTY with the handles open, mine does not fall over unless it were knocked but thats not a problem as its empty! If it bothers you then fold the handles in a bit. When there is a little liquid inside it ibecomes perfectly stable.As its a metal cup you can also use it directly on your stove.The cup is a good size with wide and short dimensions holding 350-400ml comfortably and about 500ml if filled to the brim.Overall its a good quality product, very useful and feels very authentic and rustic when brewing up in the wilds.

Not used it yet but it appears OK. My only slight criticism is the curvature of the handles are a slightly bigger radius to the body of the mug making it a bit of a fight to put into my corduroy water bottle carrier as the handles project a bit from the mug. Otherwise looks fine. I've not looked but do Tatonka do a cover when heating water on a fire?
