Nice stainless rig you have there.
I've a mucket not broke in yet.
Some other wares like a stainless wire handled cup. Military canteen cup with lid. A small sauce pan. Needs a lid...
Somewhere is a cloth bag with a tin can stove build in it that needs some bigger vent holes for air intake.
(Picture from online. Mucket/corn boiler. Better build that a tin can Billy and it's softer solder.)

Forgot...
The handle in combination with the bottle is not just to hang it over fire. You can also put it directly in the fire but you can remove it this way without gloves!
We had so many trouble with using gloves in the past. This steel bottles slips away, anyway you use leather or cloth gloves and if they are full of dust or dirt, it slips even more! One friend used one time gloves which was rubber coated. He messed up my other Nalgene bottle with molten rubber at the outside....

I don't know it's weight. Not much though. It's around 24 ounce capacity. (My metric is poor..)
I've read of using a silicone cup to cover a boiling bottle or Kelly kettle to keep heat in and ash out. Not a material I use but might one day...

I dislike going into the basement . A one legged thing...
That's where most my gear is.
I'll have to find the camera too , some where ...L/o/l//
One simple mod I did was fold a spoon handle to be able to wear the spoon on a belt. I hang it on a knife sheath though. A great use for old quality and ornate spoons..
I folded it to have bowl bottom outward when worn. A flush fit so not to snag on brush ect..And to not snag myself or anything carried on that side.
A hobo would be proud. But in today's culture I might be mistaken for a drug addict...

I bought a WW2 rucksack around 1977.
Used it for trapping ,camping,hunting, shopping flea markets...
It sets still loaded except for tinned meat from it's last trip to Canada where it carried stuff in the event of a night or more out on an island if the weather turned and boating would not allow a run to base camp.
It's color has faded. And one quarter inch hole in it I should patch.
But it holds enough for me.
A few pounds is a lot anymore. And ten pounds? Oh ,heck no.Them days are past.

The Savotta weights less than 8 Punds alone but with this carry system you donīt recognize it. Very very comfortable to wear!!
Got a lot of back problems with other ones in the past.
Just found a video in english:
And a funny test video in german:
