    To clean the inside of the stainless steel canteen, you can use a handful of steel shot(from shotgun shells) and a dollop(that's right) of Javex powder or Bon Ami or any other abrasive bathroom cleanser. Just enough water goes in to lube everything and shake in a rotational fashion to clean. Mucho washing to get the cleanser out, and repeat until shiney and new looking. Use lots of shot and it works better.

    Do you know how many of these pouches a soldier would normally carry on his belt?

    Will a dollop of AJAX work? That's pretty much all I'm familiar with when it comes to abraisive cleaners. And when you say lots of shot, just how much is that? And would it work the same with regular BB's instead of shot?
