Pretty neat . I’ll have to remember to save a 28 ounce can . Be a great project for my youngest. My wife has always laughed at me for always hanging onto a handful of wire coat hangers. Many a tailpipe has been secured with them . Have a blessed day
My Great uncle, a WW1 vet and a real HOBO, taught us how to make a nesting set . By using various sizes of cans. The largest was a 3 lb coffee can or #10. He placed the cut out top on the bottom then with a can punch opened several holes into the can. This trapped the lid making a double layer. Then with a tin snips cut a flap in the open end. Using wire made hinges for the flap. With the open side down this became a wood stove. The smoke comes out thoes tringle holes the hold the double layer in place. The whole kit was carried on the dangle stick. Which he used instead of the tripod. The Y stick that supports the dingle doubled as a sling shot for hunting and self defense. Which in turn was carried in a back pocket.
That is a very cool tripod setup, I think I'm going to take it one step further and get a slightly thicker piece of metal and pre-drill the holes and keep it in my kit so I don't have to do the lashing and frapping on three sticks. Also one improvement I can see that I can make for my own, is that drilling a slightly larger hole in the middle you can put a very thin chain through there with a hook on one end and on the other end of the chain attach a small straight piece of metal or rod or even a piece of thicker hanger. And attach that to the very end of the chain so that you can pull the chain up and then stick the straight piece through to lock it in whatever height you want and it's reusable and you don't have to bend it and cause it to weaken and break. Of course making the items of a strong enough material to hold any items that you may want to cook and their weight. But this is an excellent idea and is opened up my eyes for improvements thank you
Thank you for addressing the BPA lining in such cans! Burning out the lining is a viable workaround, making many emergency cooking possibilities available should anyone need to do so. I really appreciate these hobo-themed videos! Making do with what is available means using what many folks would assume to be garbage - but if it means we can meet our daily needs in adverse conditions, another man's garbage is our survival treasure!
Nice! When faced with having to survive w/o the comforts of home, people always find a way. Many catch on right away, while others it can take some time to figure it out, which can be very detrimental. It's a great idea to watch these videos because you never know if or when you'll need these skills. Even seasoned survivalists can gain more skills. There may be a few tricks they can learn that they didn't know before. No shame in that. My dad was the kind of person that could rig *ANYTHING* up. He seemed to have a natural ability, but he never had to use it to survive. Though I know if we all were faced with a survival situation, he would've gotten us through it. He WAS our MacGyver, lol. I inherited a lot of his skills but definitely by far, not all. I'm honestly learning a lot by watching these vids. My dad is no longer here to teach me, so this is how I learn. Something as simple as making this hobo pot can help save your life.

I get the impression that James read the Boxcar Children series. Those kids practically invented survival ideas. The lid of the can hack is genius. Liked as usual. Its zombie quiet as well.
@@WayPointSurvival it was read to me in 1st grade after lunch (naptime). Its about orphans who survive on their own in an old train boxcar. Pretty adventurous for a bunch of munchkins. The original survival fiction. All this likely before your time but dont take it as a bad thing. The Foxfire series is pretty good also.
Boxcar Children is great for early elementary read alongs. They continued the series following the author's death. I would stop where her writings stop. Great, relatable stories of loyalty, family, courage and resourcefulness.
I learned this year's ago. I like repurposeing things and if take a small can and shorten it you can a cup. Then you can use a tuna fish can or Vienna sausage can and make an alcohol stove that all travel together in one pot.
Thanks for posting. I bought an official stainless steel one with the chain link and a pin to make it super adjustable. Only problem is it doesn't come with a pot. Love this idea. Much appreciated. Subbed and belled!
very nice item - that it doesn't require any cordage thrills me the most. I've got two ideas for improvement 1. carry a carpenter's pencil sharpener and remove the rotating insert, then you can use it to make nice tapered tips up to 1/2". Drill the holes in the lid about 3/8". 2. Instead of a small hole make a slot in the center and several small eyelets in the coat hanger, which pass through the slot only in one direction, but lock in place if turned 90° - this way you can easily adjust your pot without any further bending. Stay safe and take care.
If you are in a hurry and want to cook your food directly in the can in which it comes, then you can do it in a double boiler, for this you simply put the can wit the food in a larger can that you have previously filled with water ( this will not set harmful substances free because the heat that the can is exposed to does not exceed that of the autoclave in which it was heated to make it stable )
If you have a pocketknife with a punch/reamer, you can use that for drilling the holes. I use an old victorinox for thing like that. Bigger holes take some time, but it works.
Outstanding Brother, You never dissapoint, Thank you 🙏 for Sharing. Sincerely your freind from Mo Rick and God Bless you 🙏 and your family and God Bless America 🇺🇸 and the Republic and God Bless 🙏 all of are Veterans
This is such a great series! Simple, effective and useful skills and knowledge. Suggestion: a "pin vise" in your kit with a couple standard drill bits, nails, even custom tool tips (chisel, needle file, etc.) Can replace an awl and give you precision drilling, punching, wire bending, woodcrafting, etc. A super versatile tool that weighs next to nothing but can offer a LOT of capability in the field. Give it a try I bet you'll appreciate it!
Cute project. This is a good starter for young people to teach basic skills. We would have used this as a summer project when I was a kid. Thanks. Be Well and Good Journey Richie
I will give you credit, that us down right ingenious. I bet the character you portray in the 1790s series would like that if only there was cans in the 18th century. Nice video! You're getting really good at this.
@@WayPointSurvival yes I've been watching your archives. I subscribed when you started the 1790s series. That's my favorite of course I'm into black powder guns so naturally I'm a little biased lol
Awesome idea me and boys made one this morning before they headed home , we try to do one of your projects once a week and they really enjoy it. Thanks for the great video’s keep them coming .
That’s a great idea.the lashing is we’re my knowledge is limited this a wanderful alternative and looks like it can handle the weight thanks for the great idea.😊☮️
Good one! I love videos on Hobo Camping. Maybe some recipes in the next one? I like noodles, tuna fish, cheese and onion! Ken Kramm has some excellent Hobo Camping videos as well.
I’d guess that for tying off the tripod, a hobo is more likely to have a foot or two of twine than a 1/4” drill and a 1/2” bit. That would leave a lid for the cooking pot. It’s an option that some might prefer? Just a suggestion. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying
I CAN do this 😏 good idea James . Thanks for the video. In 1927 International convention of hobos held in Minneapolis and Hobos were once such a big deal that they had their own Convention. There were even hobo colleges and a hobo newspaper. I guess it’s true , found this on the internet. You know how that is these days😆
You're welcome. Actually, many companies are moving away from BPA linings, but you don't know which ones so it's better to be safe than sorry. Plus, the new linings are still made from acrylic and polyester which you still don't want to consume by heating on a fire. Thanks for watching!
50 years a hobo. WOW. Are you sure you aren't a reincarnated hobo from a past life ? I learned to do this when just starting my journeys as a teen. I would use a railroad spike as a hammer. You learned to always have a railroad spike cause it had a 100 uses, plus was always a few long side the tracks. Always carried a big nail also. Wire clothes hangers were and still are worth there weight in gold for tons of projects. How about writing a screenplay about this. Like the Leon Livingston ( Hobo A No. 1) book you just might get a movie or at least a History Channel Doc made from it.
Cool idea. Not knocking this idea just a few questions. Why not use coat hanger to bind sticks? Since it's out of the heat why not just lash the tripod together with cordage, which is much faster? I'm curious what advantage the can lid has?
The idea behind using the can lid is to re-purpose something that one would normally just throw away. Also, in a survival situation, cordage is at a premium so anything you can do to spare it is useful. The coat hanger wire would work, of course, but then again, it might be needed for something else.
Just curious how hobo's did all that without tools? I was fortunate to learn this in girl scouts waaaaayyy back....b4 they had BPA in cans...good video!
Most of them would have had at least a pocket knife and access to some rudimentary tools. For instance, an old railroad spike would have been sufficient to punch the larger holes required for the lid. Thanks for watching and for your question.
I knew cooking on modern aluminum cans was a nono but I never thought about burning out the plastic beforehand. I knew there had to be a way. Next time I want a can of stew I'll try this.
Unless you need to support body weight, lashing a tripod with wraps and fraps is overkill and a waste of cordage. It is a good skill to know but there are so many ways to get the job done more easily.

Normally, it's when a bracket has broken loose and you resecure it to the frame by wiring it up with a coat hanger.
