Would you think this is safe to use to boil water in for a survual kit?

No, it's too thin and the interior is coated. It would probably leach into your water, especially once it was heated.

I would think it is okay to use it but if you have access to bottled water I would play it safe and use that. I look at the lifestraw as a last ditch aid in getting drinking water.

That Should be fine. You don't want your wort to come up to a vigorous boil too quickly. So the amount of heat should be ok.

I personally wouldn't , I use a regular pot to boil the water, that way it can boil all it wants without me having to worry. Amazon even has a "Medelco 12-Cup Glass Stovetop Whistling Kettle" <- That, I use to boil water. It's less than $10, solid as a rock. I can hear it all over the house. I use it for teas, coffee, cooking and so on! Boil water in something else to be safe.

Yes you can use in a pot boiling water plus I use to steam vegetables .I hope my answer help you.

maybe not, I have never tried to boil on a camp with the item. But I now use another titanium item for cooking, there is a bit deformation(not serious). If you like, I think that it is worthy of your buying.(sorry for my ugly English)

Keep in mind, you're boiling water to make steam with this device. It will collect minerals that will hamper its performance over time, especially if you use tap water. I wouldn't call that dirty, though. The temperature to which the water must be heated to boil will kill most any germ you might worry about.

yes! this would be great for boiling water which you can then use for oatmeal, tea, coffee, hot chocolate. It will also work great for basic canned items. not sure I would use it to fry an egg though. temperature control is not optimal for that.

it can be safe to pour boiling water straight from the kettle into the thermos

I wouldn't risk boiling water. Warm water yes. I would also check the Camelbak website.

Yes but I would not pour boiling water in it. The pot is made of thin glass

That should work fine. However, the kettle is porcelain coated so be careful drilling/cutting it as it may emit high speed procelain chips as you cut/drill. Gloves and safety glasses are a must! Enjoy your temperature controller. Mine works great!

I'm not using at a high altitude but my guess is that you should be ok save for a slightly different boiling temperatures. The 'maintenance temperatures' you keep water at should not be affected by altitude given that I'm assuming they use a thermometer.

I have been and it's dishwasher safe so I assume it's good for boiling water.

From experience I would say yes. I use my pan regularly to heat water to boiling for steaming vegetables and have never had any problem.

I would not be concerned using it. It conducts heat and will not freeze if mixed correctly. This is what I use in my heating system and have not had any problems or concerns. It is used in boilers to distribute heat.

Sure you can use this to boil water for any reason. It is simply an aluminum coffee pot. Just put water only in it, set in on your stove burner or grill or hang it over your camp file from the bail. Just remember its going to be very hot so use a pot holder or oven type glove when you pick it up. You can brew your tea in it too, just put the tea bags in and then heat. Stay safe and don't get burned. :-)
