Mess kits

A menagerie is a small set of utensils that has been known for years for its versatility and practicality. Menasks are used in a variety of environments, and in the military, scouting or hiking it is almost an essential accessory. Menacins come in a variety of forms or capacities, so it is a good idea to select one for the specific activity and needs of the user. 

The military menagerie is one of the basic elements of a soldier's equipment during field operations. It is used to store and carry meals and also acts as a vessel from which food is consumed. Military canteens use materials that are durable, resistant to mechanical damage and easy to clean. In a standard military menagerie you can find a set of dishes such as a plate, a deep bowl, a cup and cutlery. All of this is enclosed in a compact container that can easily fit into a rucksack or even be clipped to it. 

The Scout Menagerie resembles a military model. It is adapted to scouting requirements, so it should be light and compact. Gatherings and scout camps usually involve numerous marches, sometimes over quite long distances, and the scout's equipment must not be too heavy. Scout canteens are made of lightweight metals, but this does not detract from their properties such as durability or weather resistance. In a scout menagerie you will find, among other things, a bowl or cutlery. 

For those who are passionate about all forms of hiking and spending time outdoors, we recommend the tourist menagerie. Like the version for scouts, this type is characterised by being made of lightweight but durable materials. Some models of hiking meniscuses feature folding handles or non-stick coatings that make it easy to clean the container.  

A dinner meniscus is a great accessory for people who appreciate eating outdoors. These models are larger than standard menacins and will hold a larger portion of your meal.  

It is also worth looking at menasks that can act as pots. These are usually sets of, for example, a pot, a frying pan and a cup. The surface of a frying pan or pot conducts heat very well, so they can be used not only as a container for a meal, but also as a vessel to cook that meal.  

No matter what type of meniscus you are looking for, with MILITARY.EU extensive range you are sure to find the right model. You will find steel and aluminium menacouches that will prove themselves in the military, scouting, hiking, as well as in everyday use. We offer menacins in various capacities and with different numbers of elements, including entire sets that also function as cooking utensils. We warmly invite you to take a look at our range.
