Oddly enough, my favorite piece of military gear is 1/2 of a US issue M1858 canteen. These were the oblate spheroid canteens, and the soldiers would melt the seams and the spouts off. Think of a mini sheet iron wok. I have cooked in it, eaten out of it, washed up with it, used it as a soup bowl, plate, frying pan, pot, pot cover, drinking vessel, and have even dug a fire pit with it. Its one of my most versatile pieces of kit and it always goes with me when in the woods.
