I really liked your can cookkit. I made one myself as well and it’s so handy, sturdy, quite light and versatile. And it’s as inexpensive as it can get. More people need to know about it because it’s especially people with not much money and a lot of stress that need to go outside more!
Dutch Army poncho in plough point is great just for sitting and making a coffee, it's surprising how much difference it makes if pitched against the prevailing wind, and the stove creates a microclimate inside it. I've also used it for overnighters where there wasn't going to be much rain, with a bivvy bag. One tip with the improv alcohol stove, if you're not on the move and if possible you fill the can just under halfway with sand, and pour the alchohol onto that. Holes have to be higher up of course. Because of the airspaces between the grains of sand, which then heat up, it kind of creates eddies (for want of a better word) and you can hear it burning hotter than just a pool of alcohol would. I once spent a winter in a tiny old caravan with next to no insulation, the temperatures went below -10 celsius, and used such a stove for heating, making coffee and cooking on.
Neat idea on the DIY spork. Check a Goodwill store for used stainless steel water bottles. The can usually be had for a couple bucks. Cut them down to make a good cooking cup.
@isserfiq i certainly will! (I do have quite some collection to fiddle with! ) Thanks for participating! Allu bottles and other stuff is very usable too. In another video I used a water bowl from alluminium that came from a parrot cage. For me thats part of the fun. Stainless steel sometimes is hard to work with.
My cookcan started looking like that once too, i soaked it in cola and then scrubbed it with a brush, it came back clean. The outsides i never clean because when burning them in i covered them in oil(foodgrade) and let that burn in and create a coating. It holds up nicely.
Thanks for the warning, and your absolutely right. In the video i already mention a stainless steel replacement and in the discriptoon I do give other options and earnings. Besides the rust, the coating in tin cans are to be considered unhealthy aswel. Here temperature matters ( water!). And yes buying a pot for 20 is als possible... But part of the fun is to do it different. Thanks for sharing your concern!
Exactly Tim, thats wat I ment with 'coating' in my discription and answer earlier. If you keep the can filled with water, nothing will happen with the costing. You can even boil water on a fire in paper! The paper won:t burn. Stirring with a spork might damage the plastic coating too. Good for people to know, Therefor this extended reply;-) Thanks again for reacting!

Thanks for that information! Always neat to see people sharing their experiences to help others.
That sand trick beggs for an experiment. Thanx for sharing!
@@hermanofthewoods It works really well.
@@simonh6371 I bet it does, and it'll stand more stable too i think.
Man you are on your way for 33 scribers you did well on this video 1500 views in 2 weeks impressive
@@mlangfordoutdoor Thanks. I saw you make some interesting videos yourself (like the caravan project). Lets inspire each other!

Nice peaceful location and video…have fun stay safe.
Thanks, you too!
All good ideas 👍
Thanks!
Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
@@Georgecobb-s1v thank you. Wish you the same!
That is a good idea .

@@rubenskiii Thanx for sharing. Good top. Im not sure if coke removes the plastic coating though.
I'll have a look at it. Oiling is a good idea too!

Gonna kill yourself with that rust man. Cheap campfire cook pot or even tiny iron pot with a lid is only 20$ or less at goodwill
Not to mention the plastic can lining.
