[pct-l] lightweight mug?

[kdpo@xxxxxxxxxxx (Ken Powers)]

I agree with Sly. We carry 4oz cups that are great for hot drinks. The cups
we use were donated to my Boy Scout Troop at least 10 years ago. They are a
hard plastic, maybe melamine. They don't have lids, but who need lids. :)
The cup is just the right size - our stove slides inside it. Then one cup,
our spoons, and our bowls fit inside our cookpot.
