This large mug has found a happy home in my arsenal of equipment since 2003 sheep camp. Bret Poulsen (one of my sheep hunters) donated the cup to me at the end of his hunt, and I have used it on every hunt since then. Why is special, or worthy of review? Well it serves more than one purpose. I can use it as a very adequate cup when having some Gatorade or Tang in camp, but it excels as a semi-cooker. Two packages of Ramen noodles fit easily into the cup, add your boiling water, put the lid on for 3-5 minutes and things are cooked good and proper. I actually was amazed at how the fruit in my instant oatmeal became plumb and lifelike after leaving the lid on the cup for several minutes. Cleans up easily, and it also has the large diameter that helps in preventing spills, especially if I bring it into the tent, as I often do. My only complaint would be the price. I have purchased from Campmor for $7.99 and this still seems high to me for what amounts to a plastic cup, but mind you it isn’t just any old plastic cup. I do recommend all of my clients pick one up.
