RE: [Philmont] Fairshare Mug

In my continuing effort to loose weight (this post deals specifically
with *pack* weight although the other kind is on-going as well) I have
been playing around with one of the "bowls" from the various Micro-meals
(formerly called TV Dinners). The bowl that I am currently using has
served well for almost a year now (used 3 - 4 times a week), although it
hasn't been crammed into a pack for 10 days. No leaks, no cracks, still
sound as far as I can tell.

It weighs just under an ounce and holds 16 fluid ounces (vs Fairshare 7
1/2 oz/28 fl oz vs lexan 3 oz/16 fl oz). It's shallow enough to allow
"easy access" to the bottom, and although hot foods still require a
gentle touch, its not nearly as hot as metal; only slightly warmer to
the touch than my lexan bowl. Pack durability is the only concern - but
it has taken a fair share of abuse with no effect - time will tell.

Happy Trails
