Saturday Evening Scout Post Mess Kit With Red Cover 1970s

Looks orange but it is red. This wraps up the red accessories until I find some more if there is some more. Looks like there is a back pack.
The red vinyl covers were introduced around 1972 I think. They were introduced along with the new "colorful" rank and position patches and the red beret.
This mess kit seems to have been unused. It comes with the care and cleaning pamphlet. Here is a hint, soak it in water. There is a frying pan, plate, pot with lid and a cup. I could cook a few things with it. I would recommend packing a can of cooking spray as it isn't a non stick surface but it is very light weight.
It is united with the canteen from last week in the last photo.
