Canteens

Pair Your Next Trip with a Survival Canteen

Ready for an easy way to get long-lasting, essential hydration without having to leave your campsite? Our stainless steel water canteens are built to survive any conditions the wilderness may throw at you: hot temperatures, long hiking trips, and more. Sleep peacefully and trek with confidence knowing that your standby water supply is packaged in a quality container.

In a survival situation, a canteen isn't just an accessory. It's a lifeline. Plastic water bottles don't have the durability or strength to withstand the kind of high-intensity events that happen in the dark, in the woods, or up a steep trail. That's why Self Reliance Outfitters offers a tactical-grade exploration accessory you can count on. These canteens are designed to keep you on the trail or track for longer without having to stop and search for sustenance. 

Shop our designed-to-last survival and exploration canteens ahead of your next camping or hiking trip and enjoy the crisp taste of long-lasting energy no matter where you are. When it comes to hydration, you can't cut corners. Trust our expertly designed canteen selection to go where you do, with stainless steel construction that keeps water colder for longer.

Why Does Every Camper or Hiker Need A Quality Canteen?

In addition to tactical tools like knives, fire starters, and hammocks, canteens can mean the difference between a serene outdoor experience and an uphill battle to stay at equilibrium. No need to sort through natural water sources when you can bring your own trusty hydration with you.

Sometimes, natural resources (if available on-site) are scarce. Maybe the ground you're covering isn't near a natural source like a waterfall or spring. In this case, you have to rely on your own devices to find quick, quality hydration. Reliable items like steel bottles can alter the trajectory of your trip to the lake, allowing you to comfortably get those few extra miles in and keep your health in check.

Any wilderness explorer will find a high-quality camping canteen a necessary tool for the following reasons:

Reliability: When all else fails to give you peace of mind, having a high-quality water container like our premium canteens can keep you in motion. Your tent or overnight sleeping area may crumble under the pressure of severe weather conditions. Your stainless steel canteen on the other hand? Always there when you need it.

Mobility: Stationary water sources can only slow you down. Having a canteen you can sling over your back or keep in your pack is a great way to make sure you're always hydrated, even when you're chasing the sunset. 

Capacity: While most water bottles can only hold a small amount of liquid, our canteens can hold up to a quart of ready-to-drink hydration. Explore our quart options to see which upgraded style works for your everyday adventures.

Adaptability: Fresh out of tools on your excursion? Try adapting your multi-use canteen for other outdoor needs: collecting rainwater, as a cooking utensil, or storage. Because it won't break down with use, you can plan on keeping your canteen for trips (and years) to come.
