[Lorath] Standard Issue Canteen Kit

I don't see anything really too overpowered about this. What's the heater made of? Or is it something like the little camp fuel containers in modern MREs?
 
Hrm... well, I was thinking I'd be intentionally vague. But I'm thinking a small bacterial power-pack producing heat by generating an electrical charge which is fed to a small heat-generating plate. Or something of the sort.
 
Wes, your sense of humor fails.

Yes, I wrote the statement quite vaguely, and I was pointing it out in my statement. However, I did oblige with information, did I not?

Widening is a term used for width, not depth.

The container portion of the canteen has been observed in test conditions to endure up to 3100 PSI of pressure from exterior and interior sources. The container has also been impact tested and is able to repeatedly endure terminal velocity impacts without defect.
The plastic coated steel cap of the canteen has been designed to remain fixed onto the container with up to 3000 PSI of pressure within.
Is this actually possible with the materials used?

Stick-on water-level indicator
How's this work?

In regard to circulation, a little has been added to that blurb to elaborate on the time since the canteen has been put into circulation.

Hight, width, width? Makes no bloody sense. I'll use the term "Thickness" thanks.

The exterior of the container is primarily smooth and brushed, however, the sides of the container are textured to provide increased grip.

I do not see what is so hard to read there, just move down to the next line Wesley.

As for the structural endurance of the canteen. Yes it is possible with solid-steel construction for an object of that size.

Also, I've added a blurb on the function of the water-level indicator.
 
You're aware, Wes, that you've been nitpicking a canteen? A thing that, in the long run, does little more than hold water, and probably needs little examination beyond 'it holds water, it's good'?

There are technologies that get approved instantly that are more complex than this, and even worse, there are technologies that are more complex, seemingly more deserving of being pored over with a fine-toothed comb, that NEVER GET THAT TREATMENT because you're busy with a canteen.

Maybe someone should look at those.
 
Maybe you should then focus on more basic descriptions of mundane objects that normally don't need submissions. If you are going to post a mundane object for approval then people should nitpick and make sure it is absolutely right.

After all items like this normally fall under the 'dosen't need approval' category right?

Actually, I've encountered my fair share of situations where a seemingly mundane thing has ended up going through hell and back to be nitpicked.

Don't even get me started on trying to describe a 'pit bed' during the Zahl submission.

Either way, canteen, we're thirsty.
