    Fantastic ideas here, but I would swap the salt and pepper for smaller, lighter ones, and I think your spoon is a dessert spoon rather than a table spoon 😊 A teaspoon would be even better 😉

    ​@@davidkermes376David, you could. But what happens one day when they don't sell these things in shops any more or they are such totally cheap shit they are not worth the money you spend on them? And what if, one day, you don't HAVE the $10-20? It's like Tony Robbins says - 'Change happens in an instant'. I try to buy second-hand stuff where possible because vintage stuff is often so much better made. And making stuff vastly increases one's sense of self-confidence.

    Hello....this is the first video I've seen on your channel and I've become a subscriber!!!... Really neat, and thrifty! Me likes, however....I was wondering if you could make a part 2 to this video for all us city slickers😅😅😅...yeah the screw part definitely.... Cool gadget, but how'd you do it? And I'm afraid if you just tried to explain it I probably wouldn't get it...I'm sure I'm not the only one...also the 2 rubber band set up...just a thought ...either way, really enjoyed your video Sir!, Thanks

    As an alternative to using black pepper. Maybe try a small bottle of Mrs Dash original. They also sell the Mrs Dash in a packet form that, if I remember correctly, comes with 20per box. Adds a lot of flavor and a small bottle of olive oil for cooking. They make small bottle pump spray bottles. You can also add a couple of mint as well. The ideas are endless with a kit like this.

    Thanks James there's another tool for survival kit. I would like to have known about this kit when I was 12 years old and in the Boy Scouts. I would probably still have it. But as it is now I have enough cook kits to probably Supply a scout troop right now. Since I have given my grandson his first cook kit maybe I'll see if he wants to build his own and I'm sure he's probably going to say yeah. So James on that note I certainly appreciate the video I'll let you know if he decided to build his own cook kit. Have a great day and stay safe and keep your powder dry and the ideas coming!

I've been homeless for some months before and honestly some days I miss living out of the vehicle, with my gasoline powered cook stove, coffee pot, and all that. Still not a big spender, but I love to camp out for long times even midwinter here, and I like the old simple kit. Those old lunchbox Coleman's will burn gasoline in a pinch and cost almost nothing. Just don't let it sit, or it'll varnish unlike the good stuff.

    Great hobo kit! Replace the pot and cup in something other than aluminum. I know it will weigh more but aluminum should be out for cooking, imho. You could add more stuff (firestarting, emergency and survival things) if this were for a car OR if you bury this as a survival cache. And yes, the buried metal pot would be easy to find for metal detectors but that could be a plus if and when you might really need this.

Being an ex Boy Scout from back in the day we did use Billy cans and the suggestion here is to further modify this and make a Billy handle to hang it over a fire 🔥. It's also worth using a small tin or an old metal mug with an old rolling pin to crunch up coffee beans and drink your health.

    I managed to find two stainless steel pots that nest nicely at the local thrift store. They both have SS riveted handles and lids. All-in weight with 2 spoons, a few herbs and spices and a small cutting board is about 4lbs. It is stowed in its own bag under my pack. No rattling, no bulkiness and right-in-the-coals ready! Aluminum may be lighter, but I'm a bit concerned about the aluminum possibly contaminating my food. Why two pots? One for meat/vegetables and one for biscuits, corn bread etc. cooked at the same time. It is enough for 2 or 3 that might be bugging out or travelling with me if shtf. The additional weight is of no consequence to me. Winter or summer, foraging in the bush can keep us relatively well fed/nourished with or without meat sources. Cheers.

    I found a set of pots at a garage sale (yard sale in USA). 3 x detachable handles & room for stove kit & utensils. I like a quick brew if I am travelling & now buy all in one coffee sachets that just need sugar / hot water for those car trips. I do drink tea but black so need just hot water / sugar. These kits can be life savers when taking a break from driving or picnics when facilities are limited.

    Looks Delicious!!! ! One of my best recipes was handed down by my grandfather from Ohio who was part of a traveling band of clowns which toured the country in the 1930s and 40s. Not only did he fully participate as a performer (juggling and spraying seltzer mostly) but he was also in charge of the Clown Chuckwagon, and over the years, came up with a nice selection of mostly campfire stews (or "or stewge" as Gramps used to call them),, soups and casseroles. One of my favorites, casseroles, which I still prepare frequently, consists of baked beans and wieners (for the KETO portion of the meal), macaroni and cheese. and a couple handfuls of those big orange circus peanuts - a sweet yet savory bake-up that's a hit with everyone who tries it. Gramps had one clown name for performing with his fellow troupers at carnivals, civic events, etc., throughout the central Midwest ""Antsy Pants" - but around the campfire at breakfast or suppertime, when most of these talented vagabond buffoons had removed their make-up and hung their giant shoes in their campers, (but oddly enough not all of them) Gramps was affectionately known among the boys as "Yummo." He told me how it wasn't unusual for farmers to donate a hen or two and maybe a couple of dozen eggs, in return for a brief barnyard slapstick performance by a couple of the boys for the farmer, his family and his hired hands.. He also told me as soon as he got back to camp with the chickens, the alcoholic Geek who traveled with them would inevitably beg permission to bite the heads of the pullets when Gramps was ready to get those birds cooking. Seemed that this particular Geek actually not only savored the taste of the live chickens he was required to eat (which were usually provided by the promoter of the event at which the troupe was performing) - but craved more when "off=the-clock" Talk about a Carnivore diet!! Wow!!! Reportedly, he was known to comment that "live chicken pairs well with a pint of Carstairs White Seal Blended." By the way, Grandma also traveled with Gramps. She was the seamstress - making a good number of the clown suits from her own design and repairing all them when required. So of course Gram and Gran rolled along from town- to -town with a big foot pump operated sewing machine in their trailer, - in addition to all the pots, pants, cutlery, stirrers, etc. My Dad was born in a campground in Posey County, Indiana, delivered by a local midwife and plopped into a casserole baking dish as soon as Gramps cut the umbilical cord with his second best onion chopping knife. As for me, I married young and did well for myself in doing so. My wife is the daughter of an outdoor parking lot magnate in a major city in Ohio. I was dowried with three downtown lots. I've had a comfortable life pretty much doing whatever I want all day while other people collect money on my behalf while sitting down in booths, watching TV, reading (or even snoozing between customers arriving and honking the horns to wake 'em up). Consequently, for awhile, I was able to open a couple of storefront business which specialized in selling "clown suits for the whole family," including custom made if somebody wanted them - and even clown suits for the family pets. The seamstresses I hired used Gram's patterns, of course. . The stores were called "Hem and Ha!" - and with every sale, I usually threw in a copy of one of Gramps' recipes for a clown casseroles, "silly stew," "buffoon bread, "Punchinello Porridge,," or what have you. Of course, they all pair well with seltzer water. Thank you WayPoint Survival for allowing me to share!!
