Romanian Two Piece Mess Kit
So that’s where cousin Kowalczyki’s silverware ended up…
In the typical style of mess kit based upon German M1931 of 1931, Misty Mountain Supply brings the Romanian take on eating on the go! With a sturdy design and kidney shaped profile, this cooler-than-NATO mess kit is an essential step in making mealtime in the field more aesthetic (and fun). It separates into two pieces, with the lid doubling as a plate and means of serving up mealtime offerings, and the body perfect for cooking or storage. The carry handle allows for the body to be hung directly over a fire, in classic german style ingenuity. For a great price, the Romanian Mess kit offers an efficient means of carrying an efficient and multi-layered set of tools that will provide a twice as aesthetically pleasing meal.

Field Notes/Misty’s Musings/Potential Uses
Despite having a steel carrying and lid handle, the properties and benefits of rust proof aluminum still hold up. Neither of these steel components will be anywhere near your food servings in the case of rust beginning to form. (oopsie, maintain your gear)
Make sure to pack it with a rag or some other form of storage when transporting this item, as the two components may rattle together and create annoying sounds that will irritate you and give away your position
One of my favourite things about this messkit is that you can fit tons of your items inside such as your cutlery, stove (I use a small Esbit stove), fuel, firestarter and more, this essentially negates the rattle and keeps your goodies from being crushed in your pack.
