  • Do you own a 25oz Stainless Cup/Cooking pot that nests with the Stainless bottle?
    If you do then this is a project perfect for you!
    Using no specialist tools or expensive materials, this very quick & simple method recycles commonly found materials in a super-light stove system.
    If you want more details of what we are doing in Kent (in the United Kingdom) on the weekend of the 3rd & 4th of December, to mark the anniversary of the passing of the inspirational Mors Kochanski, then email me for details - neil@greencraft.me.uk

    It's great to see someone giving ideas to get us started on bushcraft/ wild camping, others show " what I was sent and don't promote " it's funny how they just happen to be given very expensive kit but don't promote ! Hundreds of pounds worth of " very good kit " this site is genuinely showing how to get started.

    Fantastic project our young troops will thoroughly enjoy making. The best part is the ability to use what we have locally rather than pay a high price to import gear into the Philippines.

    It’s heartfelt what you’re doing to remember Mors. I got 2 autographed books from him as a special for his birthday 2 weeks before he passed on. His videos were awesome. I like making my own stuff too. Good channel you’ve got.

    Bit of feed back - my tin ended up only being 25cm in length and I didn't think to compensate for this with the holes. As a result it was un stable. Made another set of holes and fixed the issue! Used the Standly cook pot with enough water for two and it started to buckle under the Wight... thats what what get for being greedy haha.
    To summarise - super easy to make, the tin only cost £1 from Co-op and was an over all success. Love it. I will be making more. Thanks Neil!

    Great idea.... you can also use an old soup can upside down... drill holes on top for grill, cut out a square of 2 flaps on bottom... flaps can be adjusted...
    I like the idea of tent stakes as cup holder as well

    Simple projects like this, and a visit to the Goodwill store, Dollar store or Salvation Army outlet, and some army surplus gear... and we can not only keep busy during the winter months, but save a load of money by staying away from the expensive camping supply stores.

    Just wanted to say, found your channel only recently but I've been binge watching after work and absolutely love some of the projects you've covered. Can't wait to try this. I've recently made a little stealth stove out of an old pellet gun ammo tin, slightly larger than the one you have but this project should go nicely with it. Greetings from Utah in the United States.

    Their stands for both the US GI type and the cylindrical mugs work fantastically well…………..the other way up to how you had it. Place a trangia meths or gel burner in it with the cross bars and you have a superb and very cost effective stove.

    I have a slightly different solution for my Stanley cook cup. I have a alcohol stove made out of a beer can and I got a stainless cutlery drier thing for a pound. Then I cut off a piece of wire coat hanger and bent it into a U shape as a stand. I can adjust the height and the holes are just the right balance enough air and wind shield but I could still put the foil inside if needed. Best of all you can use it as a stick stove either as is and get it going first, or you could cut a hole in the side with a Dremel for putting the sticks in. It's going to be a bit heavier than yours but I like the extra functionality and it's very strong/tough.

    • @brawndothethirstmutilator9848
      @brawndothethirstmutilator9848 Před rokem

      I have almost the exact same setup. Mine is IKEA brand that I got from a second had store for about $2. I use 3 short metal kebab skewers through the holes as a height adjustable stand. The silverware drying cup even fits around a 40oz Klean Kanteen for storage.

    Nice video. I still have my USGI canteen/cup/stand/pouch set ups. The trioxane tablets weren't always available so we used tealight candles to heat the cup. I think that I could fit 4 candles in the stand but it took twice as long to heat the cup. For my son, I bought a GAK stove that nested on an Olicup and a Nalgene bottle. They all fit in a pouch. Good Luck, Rick

    As regards the Pathfinder canteen stove base. I use mine open side upwards. A couple of holes drilled through to take a couple of shortened tent pegs. The mug sits on the pegs with enough space beneath for a small spirit stove or dragon gel or twigs. I can’t understand why the stove base wasn’t designed to be used like this from the beginning.

      I also use my canteen stand upside down. I use a cat can stove (using the stand as a windscreen) or I place tent pegs or a small grate on top and load it with wood. I do the same with my round stand.

    OMG All that work? Buy the cup stove Lixada for $8.00 CDN or even cheaper in Euro. Turn it upside down. take a piece of wire from a clothe hanger. Bent it in "V" shape, Or even better, use a Fish Mouth Spreader (Multi-function). Shove a Trangia burner inside. And there you are. Now, you have a multi-fuel stove. Spare yourself so much headache, Save the forest from a potential fire hazard piece of junk.
