The mess kits have a practical, well-thought-out shape, making them easy to fit into a backpack, pocket, or pouch. The build quality is solid and aesthetically pleasing. It's still hard to say anything about durability, as they've been used only briefly.
Mess tin consisting of two parts made of lightweight and durable aluminum.

These mess kits are modeled on British and Dutch military mess kits, made from aluminum or stainless steel. Their design is simple and functional – it allows two people to use a single mess kit and at the same time cook and fry, as long as we have enough sources of fire. When folded and secured, for example with a strap, the whole thing forms a closed container – this is how I carry the BCB stove, Dragon gel fuel, spork, and spices.

Very convenient, rectangular mess kits that are lightweight, and their handle feels durable. You can nest them inside each other, making them very compact. Inside, under the folded handle, you can store things like spices, cutlery, or small items—securing them with a rubber band or placing them against the walls, which adds extra protection for more delicate things. I don’t recommend using steel cutlery for stirring, as it leaves scratches and makes it feel like you’re eating metal shavings.

This is an excellent mess kit for bushcraft, featuring a rectangular shape, which distinguishes it from competitors with round models. It is convenient to carry, and the mess kits nest easily inside each other.
