That coffee pot! It has an actual percolator! I couldn’t stop smiling watching you get it ready for the stove. Thank you James for all of your creative and informative videos. ❤
I used an old pair of pants years ago and sewed the bottom of the leg closed then cut right up the crotch, since I only needed on of the legs, and stitched up that cut. I left the top open and ran a rope through the full length of it and hung it behind the old bench seat of my truck. I used it for a makeshift rifle/shotgun scabbard for many years.
Outstanding!🎉 I am in the process of setting up a haversack for future EDC in the Caribbean. And the three main reasons are that 1) I heard a prophecy some two years ago that backpacks would be forbidden due to terrorism. 2) It will be inappropriate to go into stores with bigger bags because of increased shoplifting. 3) I do not own a vehicle and it's a hassle to take off and put on a backpack when taking public transportation, walking into stores, etc. And this haversack EDC has to have enough items for an emergency like floods, landslides, civil unrest, power outages... I would add a small, 1-1/2 or 2" tin of udder balm. I use a brand which has tea tree oil as an active ingredient: GERMA. It kills fungus and bacteria. I lived homeless camping out of tents and a minivan with my dogs for several years. And I can honestly say you are ahead of the outdoorsmen bunch. Homelessness is rough.
Love the idea of cutting a little grill for the esbit. I found that it's the best stove for me as well when in the woods and always use it as a twig stove. The little grill will help tremendously.
You'll probably want to add a few imodium ad tablets to your FAK. They don't take any extra room, and IMO they are a very necessary item. I don't go anywhere without some if I have a FAK with me. I had a bad experience way out in the bush by myself and nobody expected for several days. I missed a couple of days hunting and had trouble driving myself back home because I was so weak. A friend had a similar episode a couple of years later and he was lucky in that I had some meds in my kit. The runs can debilitate you more than you would think. Also, my esbit stoves have detents on the sides that allow closing the sides up to a degree to allow for a smaller vessel. Still works fine. Good to hear of somebody else that feeds their esbit stove sticks when needed ❤ Thanks for the video Take care
I couldn't agree more. I live in a caravan and I bought some Loperamide (the South African version) and blow me down if I didn't have a dose a few days afterwards. So I used 3 of the six-pack and put it in my base camp kit and bought a new pack for my survival kit.
OH HECK YEAH JAMES The ultimate survival kit. I Love it. That is amazing. WOW what we can make with an old pair of trousers. FATHER GOD BLESS You Brother James IN THE NAME OF YESHUA AMEN AND AMEN ❤😊
Of all the things you've shown IN the bag James, for me, the BAG itself is the most impressive! Wow, a lot of work making that. The leather side belts, folded and sewn,....that's tough to do. I've struggled on less. Glad the sal army store helped out. As an aside...this again reinforces how much people need each other. In the event of some emergency, helping others and sometimes BEING helped by resourceful people is key. Thanks for your work.
I’m not a coffee drinker but that is a very cool setup for it. The little grill for the esbit is an awesome idea. Thank you for sharing this information James.
Something you might be interested in . A 1930's sterno folding stove . It looks like a stamped version of the old school gas burners . They are big enough , so you can either use a can of sterno ......or a 2.5 in pillar candel to cook with . They fold up flat . I have one in my storm kit , in case we lose power . A candel actually works pretty well .
Love that coffee pot! I use instant coffee every day so usually have that in my kit for weight and space saving. But if I found one of those I'd be packing it! Great vid! Great kit!
Idk if you have one near you, but, at big lots, they have mini percolators. They say there for espresso, but, it works for coffee also, i bought myself one years ago. ❤
I really enjoy your gear philosophy. With proper knowhow and a little digging around, just about everything you might need to enjoy a wilderness adventure can be found for next to nothing! Great stuff.
I thought you would enjoy this: No matter what video you make, to my little granddaughters, you are known as “the Hobo”. After church on Sundays ( we attend a Wesleyan Church ) I’ll take them to an antique store or flea market to look for “hobo camping stuff” and last Sunday, on the way, Ava ask me if there were any Wesleyan Hobo’s. I assured her there is.
Hi. I want to thank you for sharing the back packers sore legs remedy. I have lived with sciatica for 40 years. Waking up with leg cramps, numbness, restless leg syndrome, and many other problems. So I put a bar of soap in an old sock, and put it by my feet when I went to bed. About an hour later I noticed my legs weren't shaking, or hurting . In the morning I could walk without pain. My legs go numbness when I stand for more than 10 minutes still. But the muscles around my static nerve in my thighs were relaxed, and not hard like rocks. I did sleep much better.I was so happy I told my doctor, and he has had restless leg, and leg cramps for years as well. He said he was going to try it. I can't wait to find out what happened. As a side note, bracing under the hips, if you're a side sleeper, also help keep your back aligned while you sleep. Thanks again. Keep those videos coming, we are watching and learning 😀.
@@WayPointSurvival I ran right over to see how Blackie Thomas kicked this off. I would vastly prefer to be out with YOUR haversack. Blackie didn't provide for hydration and only mentioned food as an afterthought. PLUS he didn't have a coffee pot.😋
looked them up on google, i just searched vintage child's percolator pot, and vintage collapsible cup with handle respectively, and then looked through images
I like the little coffee kit and the use of the pockets to make bags. The pockets could also be used as mitts to pour the coffee and not burn yourself.
Great kit! Love the mini grill for the Esbit stove. The mini percolator is something I must have.... Couple packs of sugar and I'm good for an overnighter!😂
Proof that older gear doesn't necessarily mean heavy or larger gear. That percolator and cup is very clever and just perfect for a single person! For further space savings, you might be able to get away with putting grounds into the cup itself when closed, but then you'd have to do something with them when you wanted to use the cup. I've got a vintage aluminum BSA esbit stove, but it no longer stays in the smaller configuration for a cup safely. I might start using it again using your idea of a cut up cooling rack. Thanks for the video ideas!
The one thing I learned is that haversack. I might make one. I have a fanny pack I take in case I get separated from my pack with a headlamp, extra compass, map, emergency blanket, steel cup, water purifier tabs, Ferro rod, matches, tinder box, small knife ( even though there's ALWAYS one on my belt), budget rain ponchos, mini flashlight, signal mirror, Paracord, and a spork
Absolutely LOVE when other youtubers collaborate with similar channels to create these chain vids. Always leads me to great ideas and great channels that I have not heard of before. The last one I followed like this was the Gauntlet for the Gerber strong arm.
What an awesome kit - ingenious idea to cut off a leg of old pants and sew it into a haversack. I love your double-D-ring-closure, had something similar on a military bag - silent and secure and adjustable, don't like button snaps or velcro. Always found it hard to feed the strap through the second D-ring, so I cut off the corners and stabilised the strap end with some superglue to keep it from fraying. Your stool takes an old design to a new level, it packs so small, you could even fit it in a large cargo pocket. In the early 60s we took the predecessor on our camping trips, it just folded flat and was from iron tubing. Your coffee storage is amazing - reminds me, I have one or two of these Kodak film drums laying around somewhere, filled with matches and sealed with electrical tape. Have to search for them and see, if they are still usable. Hated it, when they switched to plastic containers, no way to waterproof them. Cheers from Germany
Love the little cup and coffee pot and the haversack idea is great for people on a budget or like cool projects. I’ve been enjoying my Musette bag and have been finding modern counterparts in the spirit of your Hobo series. I think learning these different load outs teaches one how to utilize what’s at hand for tough times.
Great video as always! I love how you make your own gear. These days things are so expensive but you provide a less expensive way of repurposing things. Thanks again!
What's really cool about the bag is the fact that anybody can salvage some materials. Anytime I find any kind of pack or bag or a tool bag that is damaged I cut away all the hardware and the strapping and I save old belts just in case I need to fix something or I want to make something from scratch
Freak'in Love that perk !!!.......... My kit rides in my ozark trail cup with a french press system , but there is nothing better than perk or cowboy coffee on a cool or damp morning !!!
i was homeless for a while and learned an indespensable hot hands trick , you carry that nice little metal cup with you at all tiimes of couse or your small solo person cook kit tin crack that hot hands and put it into the pot or cup and plate (works really well if you have some sort of shelter i.e tarp shelter or tent, it creates a small makeshift radiant heater.
I use a "haversack" everyday. It's interesting that haversacks were used often by mountain men and now most men wouldn't be caught dead carrying a bag that looks like a purse. Great video!
That little coffee pot. Lol. It reminds me of playing tea party with my daughter when she was little. Thanks for the video. I like the baking rack idea for the esbit.
I have recently started to work on my Finnish Gas Mask Bag again... It's been sitting dormant for quite sometime holding some of my extra Stanley cook pots. Added a waxed canvas log carrier to the back of it and a folding Canvas foraging bag a couple weeks back.
and many, many years ago I made a bag like this with a piece of jeans, and to put the handle on each side I put a thin cotton loop on each side, it was temporary, but it's been lasting a decade LOL, I'll never doubt cotton again, As I don't wash it, it became waxed with the dirt from the passage of time lol, and to close it there is an internal pacard thread that I tie with an inverted running knot, I always take material to change the cotton loops, but to this day resist
I have the same silky saw, I made a small knife from an old 12 inch diameter metal cutting blade that fits and folds away when you take the saw bade out. I cut noches in the top that match the saw so it can lock in place when open. Nice coffee pot and cup. 👍
Pretty good kit. I never see anyone take their kit and put it to the test. I would get three guys like you to display their kit in a video. Than without telling them challenge them with the cloths on their back, no credit cards, $10, no phone or use of one for the duration. The challenge is get home from 500 miles away You get dropped off in a rural location and can't communicate with anyone until you get home. You get dropped off and go in three different directions. You can ride train, stowaway etc no one can have contact with you while you are travelling. Just as an experiment and an experience. Good luck.
James, there is no end to your God-given creativity & innovation! Great video! I continue to be impressed with your DIY gear, especially the haversack & smaller pouches. Although the Esbit stove takes a little longer to boil water, its light weight & coimpactness are worth the wait. By removing the innards of the miniature perculator, you have an additional boiling pot. I look forward to everyone of your videos. May God bless you & yours.
Nice. I noticed one essential omission however, which is the a lack of a water purification sysyem to remove pathogens from water, making any available water potable. There are many filters available which are light weight and some include charcoal purification. Another handy item is the screw-together aluminum walking stick that has variouse survival items inside, such as compass, harpoon, knife, magnesium, etc.
I have researched hundreds of videos on UA-cam for a tiny cook kit to take fishing. This was a perfect video for me in the coffee pot put it way over the edge. I am now going to start researching for that coffee pot thank you
James....I told Blackie that you would not let me down!!!! OMG...that is the cutest little percolator I have ever seen!!! I love how you used the pockets to hold your items. Well done James! Take care....Robin
Wow. Well thought out. I love how you have upcycled items you find at thrift store and garage sales. A man of my own heart. T.P.is a must. Consider a video on thrift store/garage sale bunting. I'm sure others aren't as visionary as you or I.
I use mine daily, it makes a great bag to carry around. Yesterday, a friend offered me a bunch of dead birch branches. I used the bag ad a sling to carry them Hardly felt the weight because all the weight was spread over my shoulders
I have for an every day carry is an exercise resistant band. If someone or yourself had a bad bleeding cut, you can wrap that around the arm or leg so tight it can be like a tourniquet. It can shut off blood flow completely.
Turning a pant leg into a haversack? That's pretty smart. May borrow that idea including turning shirt pockets into small storage bags. It's evident you get the most out of your containers. One thing you might consider for medical is super glue for minor to middling venous lacerations. Can also repair items that get broken. That Otzi knife is AWESOME. No knife collection should be without it. Incidentally when I lived in Greece for 8 years I carried a haversack with me everywhere, even to high school. Bottom line it's super useful.
Thank you. You gave me some great pouch ideas for my go bag. Great how you used an old pair of pants and a shirt. And some great items too. This is awesome.
👍👍👍 Nice .. very nice 😊. Knap Sacks .. I have one, albeit somewhat smaller. Enough to comfortably hold Water and Collapsible Bowl for the Pooch and myself, Treats / Snacks, Telescoping Umbrella and other relevant EDC's. Big enough for Her 🐕 walks, some local outings down to the Town Park or such. I tend to find that (me included) there is a tendency to cram more and more into knap sacks, resulting in them becoming ever larger, subsequently heavier and for me, less 'carry friendly. I prefer then, the 'balance' on both shoulders afforded by a standard day pack. Notwithstanding, a very nice, practical old-time loadout. Thanks for the share .. take care ..
Great kit. I imagine it took several years to find all the perfect components, very well done. I’m now on the hunt for a coffee cup like that one, super cool. Nice blend of modern and vintage items.
Cool. And I want to make a wooden bench, like the African pillow bench, I recommend looking, it seems light, but I haven't had any good wood to test yet, and the mug is the same as the canteen, but I intend to make a kuksa too, I hope it's not too much heavy, not that I care about weight, but wood can end up weighing a lot
I personally hate coffee but that set up was crazy. I know people that would kill for that lil pot in the outdoors. I had the same declapsable cup in scouts. That lil stool would definitely be handy in wet situations. Never seen a hankie that big but I'd carry that also. Only extra thing I'd include is a small fishing kit that you would easily slide in that bag. Thanks for the great video.
Great kit 🙂 i would leave the seat at home, but that is just my personal opinion. I carry a waxed piece of thick leather instead, nearly waterproof, has many uses: keeps my butt dry when i have to sit somewhere wet, it keeps my legs save when i carve something between them, etc.
James, since first watching this video I have added the cutest thing on the planet to my camping kit - it's a little 900ml K-Way camping kettle! I found it at my favourite second-hand shop here in Citrusdal BRAND NEW! The price online was FOUR HUNDRED RAND! I got it for TWENTY RAND!

It dates to probably as early as somewhere in the 1930s.

Somewhere, there's a young lady who's going to be really disappointed when she discovers her tea party kit is missing. 🤣 Way cool kit!

What a cool little kit! I especially love how you added the part of a cooling rack to the esbit stove, and that tiny percolator. 👍👍👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😀💕🌸
Thanks so much!
@@WayPointSurvival You have a lot of very interesting videos! 👍👍👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@leopardwoman38 Thank you so very much! I really do appreciate it!
Freak'in Love that perk !!!.......... My kit rides in my ozark trail cup with a french press system , but there is nothing better than perk or cowboy coffee on a cool or damp morning !!!
Indeed!
20 second crew check-in!
Thanks for watching!
i was homeless for a while and learned an indespensable hot hands trick , you carry that nice little metal cup with you at all tiimes of couse or your small solo person cook kit tin crack that hot hands and put it into the pot or cup and plate (works really well if you have some sort of shelter i.e tarp shelter or tent, it creates a small makeshift radiant heater.
Great idea!
That's got to be the smallest percolator I've EVER seen. Cool vid
Thanks so much!
I don't know how I missed this video when it first came out but I'm glad I got to see it
I'm glad you found it!
I had a kit like that , but bigfoot took it away from me .
You got Blackie beat ! And I ain't lying this time .
Thanks for watching!
Love the little coffee kit. So unique, but at the same time small enough for a haversack.
Thanks!
I love that small coffee kit you have with the stove. 😃
I use a "haversack" everyday. It's interesting that haversacks were used often by mountain men and now most men wouldn't be caught dead carrying a bag that looks like a purse. Great video!
Right? Thanks for watching!
That little coffee pot. Lol. It reminds me of playing tea party with my daughter when she was little. Thanks for the video. I like the baking rack idea for the esbit.
Yo, that whole coffee kit is freaking awesome.
Thanks so much!
We have so many modern conveniences today. The series you did really puts things into perspective. Perhaps I'll go back and watch it again.
Thanks so much! I'm glad that you are enjoying the series!
That stove and coffee kit just kept getting cooler and cooler.that collapsible cup was awesome.
Whoa! That haversack is too cool! What a great idea and a great way to repurpose unservicable items. Thanks for the great idea!
Glad you liked it!!
I have recently started to work on my Finnish Gas Mask Bag again... It's been sitting dormant for quite sometime holding some of my extra Stanley cook pots. Added a waxed canvas log carrier to the back of it and a folding Canvas foraging bag a couple weeks back.
Excellent!
and many, many years ago I made a bag like this with a piece of jeans, and to put the handle on each side I put a thin cotton loop on each side, it was temporary, but it's been lasting a decade LOL, I'll never doubt cotton again, As I don't wash it, it became waxed with the dirt from the passage of time lol, and to close it there is an internal pacard thread that I tie with an inverted running knot, I always take material to change the cotton loops, but to this day resist
A person can always get good ideas to barrow from your videos. God bless and stay safe.
Thank you so much and God bless you too!
I have the same silky saw, I made a small knife from an old 12 inch diameter metal cutting blade that fits and folds away when you take the saw bade out. I cut noches in the top that match the saw so it can lock in place when open. Nice coffee pot and cup. 👍
Excellent!
Pretty good kit. I never see anyone take their kit and put it to the test. I would get three guys like you to display their kit in a video. Than without telling them challenge them with the cloths on their back, no credit cards, $10, no phone or use of one for the duration. The challenge is get home from 500 miles away You get dropped off in a rural location and can't communicate with anyone until you get home. You get dropped off and go in three different directions. You can ride train, stowaway etc no one can have contact with you while you are travelling. Just as an experiment and an experience.
Good luck.
That would be a fun video to watch, for sure!
I adore, adore, adore the teensy percolator! My Mom used a bigger version to make coffee in the fireplace during power outages!
Thats one awesome little perk pot and cup set
Thanks!
James, there is no end to your God-given creativity & innovation! Great video! I continue to be impressed with your DIY gear, especially the haversack & smaller pouches. Although the Esbit stove takes a little longer to boil water, its light weight & coimpactness are worth the wait. By removing the innards of the miniature perculator, you have an additional boiling pot. I look forward to everyone of your videos. May God bless you & yours.
Thanks so much and may God bless you all as well!
Nice. I noticed one essential omission however, which is the a lack of a water purification sysyem to remove pathogens from water, making any available water potable. There are many filters available which are light weight and some include charcoal purification. Another handy item is the screw-together aluminum walking stick that has variouse survival items inside, such as compass, harpoon, knife, magnesium, etc.
Boiled water doesn't have to be filtered... Did you see my video on the staff?
love the tiny purculator
Thanks!
I have researched hundreds of videos on UA-cam for a tiny cook kit to take fishing. This was a perfect video for me in the coffee pot put it way over the edge. I am now going to start researching for that coffee pot thank you
Awesome! Thank you!
I love the little coffee percolator and the collapsible cup
Thanks so much!
I don’t drink coffee but that mini percolator is adorable enough to make me wish I did!
Right! Thanks for watching!
James....I told Blackie that you would not let me down!!!!
OMG...that is the cutest little percolator I have ever seen!!!
I love how you used the pockets to hold your items.
Well done James!
Take care....Robin
Thank you so much, Robin!
Wow. Well thought out. I love how you have upcycled items you find at thrift store and garage sales. A man of my own heart. T.P.is a must. Consider a video on thrift store/garage sale bunting. I'm sure others aren't as visionary as you or I.
Thanks. Have you watched my thrift store survival challenge?
I use mine daily, it makes a great bag to carry around. Yesterday, a friend offered me a bunch of dead birch branches. I used the bag ad a sling to carry them
Hardly felt the weight because all the weight was spread over my shoulders
Excellent!
I have for an every day carry is an exercise resistant band. If someone or yourself had a bad bleeding cut, you can wrap that around the arm or leg so tight it can be like a tourniquet. It can shut off blood flow completely.
Good idea!
Turning a pant leg into a haversack? That's pretty smart. May borrow that idea including turning shirt pockets into small storage bags. It's evident you get the most out of your containers. One thing you might consider for medical is super glue for minor to middling venous lacerations. Can also repair items that get broken. That Otzi knife is AWESOME. No knife collection should be without it. Incidentally when I lived in Greece for 8 years I carried a haversack with me everywhere, even to high school. Bottom line it's super useful.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you. You gave me some great pouch ideas for my go bag. Great how you used an old pair of pants and a shirt. And some great items too. This is awesome.
Thanks so much!
I've used Esbit stoves for years. I love the idea of the rack. I have to make one now. Keep up the great work.
Awesome! Thank you!
Very impressive the thought of every item that was placed into the kit was absolutely perfect and a lot of work. Well done
Thank you very much!
👍👍👍 Nice .. very nice 😊.
Knap Sacks .. I have one, albeit somewhat smaller. Enough to comfortably hold Water and Collapsible Bowl for the Pooch and myself, Treats / Snacks, Telescoping Umbrella and other relevant EDC's. Big enough for Her 🐕 walks, some local outings down to the Town Park or such.
I tend to find that (me included) there is a tendency to cram more and more into knap sacks, resulting in them becoming ever larger, subsequently heavier and for me, less 'carry friendly. I prefer then, the 'balance' on both shoulders afforded by a standard day pack.
Notwithstanding, a very nice, practical old-time loadout. Thanks for the share .. take care ..
Man you really do have the best collection of vintage gear.
Great video.
Thanks!
Great kit. I imagine it took several years to find all the perfect components, very well done. I’m now on the hunt for a coffee cup like that one, super cool. Nice blend of modern and vintage items.
Thanks so much!
the shirt pocket is a great idea and that kit is really cool. God bless.
That’s an awesome load out and I really love that percolator. Great job as always James. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome!
that's the CUTEST li'l percolator i ever saw! .
Thanks for watching!
I love that coffee pot I need one that small
I found it on eBay and was pretty stoked when I got it!
Cool. And I want to make a wooden bench, like the African pillow bench, I recommend looking, it seems light, but I haven't had any good wood to test yet, and the mug is the same as the canteen, but I intend to make a kuksa too, I hope it's not too much heavy, not that I care about weight, but wood can end up weighing a lot
I personally hate coffee but that set up was crazy. I know people that would kill for that lil pot in the outdoors. I had the same declapsable cup in scouts. That lil stool would definitely be handy in wet situations. Never seen a hankie that big but I'd carry that also. Only extra thing I'd include is a small fishing kit that you would easily slide in that bag. Thanks for the great video.
You're welcome!
Wow, I have never seen a percolator that small ! You amaze me, you find some really unique things !!!!
Thanks for watching!
Great kit 🙂 i would leave the seat at home, but that is just my personal opinion. I carry a waxed piece of thick leather instead, nearly waterproof, has many uses: keeps my butt dry when i have to sit somewhere wet, it keeps my legs save when i carve something between them, etc.
Thanks for watching!
James, since first watching this video I have added the cutest thing on the planet to my camping kit - it's a little 900ml K-Way camping kettle! I found it at my favourite second-hand shop here in Citrusdal BRAND NEW! The price online was FOUR HUNDRED RAND! I got it for TWENTY RAND!
That's wonderful! Glad you got one!
I’m liking this video just because of the mini coffee pot and collapsible cup 💜
Thanks!
