Thank you for watching the video. I had a lot of fun making this project and I hope you will too. It is an excellent and cheap alternative to buying an expensive bush pot. As much as I love gear, it can really get pricey after a while. Being able to manufacture a useful product from common items is not only good stewardship of one's resources, but it is also good training for a survival scenario should you ever be in one. Thanks again for watching and please leave your comments below. And, don't forget to subscribe!

Thinking outside of the box is a survival asset, your videos inspire such thinking. Making a simple tin can into a useful bit of kit not only makes life easier but in a desparate situation can improve your moral too.

Absolutely. Being able to craft useful items from what others would consider garbage is an extremely useful skill.

I used a Hi-C can for years as a child , back when they still had real "tin cans" about 1965 to 1970... in my research of historical cooking , what you made would be called a corn boiler. There are still some cans that have a tin coating inside . I also have been making a set of bushcraft cooking pots and cups and stove to use. It's a nostalgia thing . Thankyou for the ideas.

We started do that around 1957 or 58. because mom forgot the Tupperware tumblers, then for years after because it was fun!

They're called that way because people used them to make their Tea and a popular brand in Australia was named Billy Tea, so they started to call them billycans.

It's also an example of "bindle" technology - bindle referring to the bundle, sometimes tied on a stick, that hobos carried. All of this making-stuff-out-of-whatever's-around is called "bindle lore" or "bindlecraft". It's a fine art. My dad was a Scoutmaster when I was a child and he was big on teaching this stuff to his troop; believed it was better to make your equipment than buy it.

Great build and Great reminder about burning away that Bpa lining before using it!

Such a great tutorial. Thank you so much. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️

I use a CHOCK FULL O NUTS coffee can (black and yellow can)for my pots. Chock full o nuts doesn't have the inside coating so you don't need to burn anything off. Also, the ribs on the can are actually measured increments, first rib from bottom is 4 ounces and each other one going up is 2 ounces. You'll need a second can to make the pot lid (from bottom of second can) as it has a foil pull top under yellow plastic lid. The yellow lid will help keep loose pot lid in place, hope this helps.

Nice video. Probably somewhere in the comments already, but make your first butterfly handle, then lay it down flat on a board and tap a nail in at the inner corner of each bend, and you'll have a jig to easily and quickly make a duplicate for your second butterfly handle.

I was just looking through KZread feeds an this video showed. Now I'm going to be honest, I was as a kid taught by my old grand dad abt snares, woodcraft etc...they call it bushcraft or prepping now. An to be fair, one guy does something an everybody an his dog copies lol. Now your video got my interest, at last a uploader who uses everyday items. Uses stuff to make old school gear( the hobo videos for example).....nice to see history been used to show it was done before the hefty price tags an not needed gear. The pole carry video, reminded me of the Roman fucca used on marches an then the hobos 30s, used by troops in ww2. Anyway subbed your channel, keep up the good work mate

As he once told, people take it for granted shops, electric, water an general comfort. It's a illusion of life, at anytime it could go........a bit old school knowledge an doing what people did before all that is the difference between thriving and getting by. Told me an cousins to look at history for proof. No social media or Google in 70s lol

Rather than bending the wire that goes under the hose clamps out, make the handles taller and bend the ends in, going around the outside of the clamps. The taller handles will give you a 3-4 finger grip when using gloves.
