A roll of paper towels, a steel wool scrubbie, and a dry cloth in a plastic baggie works well. By the way, the steel wool scrubbie can be an emergency fire starter if you have a battery!

You can find them at any army-navy surplus store. They are very cheap and very durable. If you could use it in war, I think it can survive us boy scouts!!!!

The mess kit is a great item to cook with. All that is lacking from a complete backpacking kitchen are a quilted hot dish cloth to prevent burns from holding an aluminum skillet over a lit campfire and a backpacker's cast iron skillet used to cook food and scare away wildlife who may be interested in whatever a person is preparing for a meal.
