Aluminum Scabbards? Not likely any exist, but .... 'be lookin'
As Gen. Flagler said to his nephew, Benjamin: " ..... aluminum is overrated, .... plastics my boy, plastics". |

On 'intrenching' tools: "Hunting Knife discontinued" and digging with "meat can cover" - What's a meat can cover?

It appears the meat can cover was part of the mess kit. Why not use a cooking cover for digging yourself a trench. Then make supper using it as a lid? Very resourceful, no?

Advertised on the IMA website:
Original U.S. Indian Wars Pattern 1874 Meat Cans Mess Kits - 3rd Type Seems kind of fragile but I guess in a pinch... |
