GEAR: STANLEY 1913 STORMTROOPER COFFEE MUG

The STANLEY 1913 STORMTROOPER COFFEE MUG is a rather innovative design. Stanley PMI designed this series to be fully recyclable once the product reaches its useful end life. The 1913 commuter coffee mug is comprised of an outer stainless steel removable cup, the main cup is made from recycled food grade plastic. There is a lid that twists to seal it from spills and the seals are all made from medical grade silicon. A handy plastic loop lets you attach the mug to your pack.

POSITIVES: - inexpensive, very well made, recyclable, can be used to mix boozy drinks, outer SS cup can be used for many things after the cup itself reaches its end life. Slim low profile packs easily. Holds 16oz of coffee or spirits. Quite a stylish design.

NEGATIVES: - does not really keep drinks hot for very long due to no insulation. However if you drink the amount of coffee like i do, this is a moot point.

Great mug, i use it for both camping, commuting and home use. The removable SS outer cup is just a bonus...you can heat up water in it over a heat source , this makes this mug valuable for a survival situation...you can boil water in the outer SS mug and pour it into the main mug! (please note that the paint will peel off the outside SS mug if you subject it to fire)

I give the STANLEY 1913 STORMTROOPER COFFEE MUG a BUSH LAB rating of 9.5/10

ABOUT THE BUSH LAB

THE BUSH LAB is wholly run by me, Bushman and my big fat BushCat in my spare time. I'm a trucker during the day, a hardcore gear tester and hiker by night and during time off. Fueled by caffeine, beer, bacon, 80's heavy metal, 90's industrial/techno music and life itself. I spent a LOT OF TIME driving a 2WD japscrap pickup all over BC's logging roads, testing gear, camping, drinking, smoking fine pipe tobacco and blogging. I am a proud member of the BC WRECKING CREW (more to come soon)

I say it like it is, and thanks to that, I have been fired from lots of jobs for saying it like it is.......but i stand by my principles.......i do not censor or sugarcoat my gear reviews, I do not care if i offend people with my gear reviews.......for the simple reason that there are many people out there who DEPEND on their gear for their survival, be it a dayhiker, SARTECH, off the grid type or a military/LEO person in the field.

100% of the gear I test, I buy with my own money. I do not accept gear from manufactures. Far too often this generosity taints the reviews....aka there can be some bias.......I buy gear, i test it, i review it, i say it like it is. NUFF SAID! if a piece of kit does not meet my standards I give a fail. Even if i pay for it myself.

I would like to give a shout out to all the hardworking POLICE, FIRE, AMBULANCE, MILITARY and all the SARTECHS!....stay safe, and keep up the good work!

Hope you like THE BUSH LAB! thanks for stopping by!
