As always that's very cool.. That coffee kit also looks like a lot of fun to use. Thanks for sharing it with us and it's another awesome video.
You should consider making these thermos and lunch box kits with a little heating element like this one had holy cow that is cool
I love your channel, you're a really neat guy. Thanks for making my life easier.
50 of 73 years a hobo. Very impressed. When I was much younger I could buy those metal thermos dirt cheap because no one wanted a cup without a handle. Sure were durable. The alcohol stove you show I have seen in second hand stores every now and then. I kind of figured they were for "chaffing', that is keeping some fancy snacks warm in a metal tray holder. Should have bought one the last time I saw one. I didn't think they could nearly boil water but guess I wasn't sure what other uses they had.
What a super cool find. Where on earth did you find this lunch box kit!
for those who don't know, my Irish German Father grew up in the 30's in Queens NY. There were many vacant lots at the time and he, along with his friends would 'campout' and cook their 'mickeys'. Grab some potatoes and whatever you want to put on them. Build a good fire, get some coals and just toss them in. Poke em' to see if done, kick them out crack them open and feast! Best damn tasting potatoes you ever had. We continued the tradition in our backyard growing up, camping. My daughters Love them!
Very cool!
My dad who's German said when he was younger in German used to make fires and literally throw whole potatoes in the fire and after so long you would take them out and he said it was literally the best tasting potatoes you'll ever eat.
The Japanese have a similar tradition of cooking the Japanese Sweet Potato in a fire during the fall or winter months. I believe the tradition dates back to the Edo period when there was a famine and the sweet potato was one of the crops that help them through the hard times.
Those sweet potatoes also have a compound in them that’s anti aging
When I was a kid in south America we did that with sweet potatoes, I miss those days.
My Dad growing up in Sunset Park, Brooklyn in the 1940's had the old train depot yards (now the MTA train yard) next door to his apartment building. He used to tell me stories of him and his friends hanging out in the Yards running from the "watchies" (security guards) and cooking "mickey's"
James, I appreciate the effort that goes in to all your videos. I love antiques and vintage items. As a coffee drinker with 64 years experience, I would put the grounds in the pan to boil them, and strain when pouring in to my cup. That would get the most out of your precious beans. Thank you for sharing this kit with us!
Yes, that would be another good way to get it done, for sure!
Everything about this kit is intriguing, I really enjoyed this episode.
Right? I thought that tiny grinder was amazing!
@@daveburklund2295 like a cat or a child, I was more interested in the box!
Thanks so much!
@@daveburklund2295 Yeah, the quality of that 100 year old grinder is amazing. Back in the days when quality was the primary concern of the producer. It looks like it was made as well as "a Swiss watch".
I thought I'd seen all the old timey gear,
till now.
I've never seen one of those great lunch boxes before!
That is one heck of a special piece.
Thanks for showing us. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love the “ set” I’ve got a small hand grinder , but yours will still be grinding in 200 years while mine will rust in some dump . Keep ‘em coming brother !
Dude, that is just about the coolest thing I have seen... 100 years old and it still beats the pants off of anything made today.. Show me ANYTHING made today that will be usable much less survive in 100 years.. So interesting. Keep em coming.
Thank you for posting. I get your point. It is also true that good brass alcohol stoves, the mesh strainer, and the style of coffee grinder are still in the market today. A more robust thermos with a stainless steel inner will probably last longer than this original design. I believe the lunchbox tray cannot be bettered. It would also make a fine candle holder.
Indeed!
I have a similar kit minus the box, made of titanium. Love the box.
I'm not likely to load up a pack and head into the woods for a weekend. But I'm at the end of a very busy day, and it's a very nice thought to take my little stove out to the patio and just focus on the steps of making my decaf night cap. Thanks for a great video.
Decaf? Just go straight to bed mate 😂
You're welcome!
Thank you James@@WayPointSurvival
There is nothing about this that isn’t fascinating! It is one of the coolest videos I have ever seen about this sort of subject and antique products and methods. I love your videos but this, by far has to be my favorite, not only of your work but anything produced by other content creators of similar type of content. Thank you for bringing this to us and the amount of effort you put into your channel.
Wow, thank you!
The delightful antithesis of a Kerug coffee maker
Wonderful original manufactured products! I still love my original Thermos stainless steel flask, made in Ohio, US, in 1987. Best wishes from London, England!
Thanks so much and stay safe over there across the pond!
I collect vintage camping stoves of all kinds...mainly single burners. This is an amazing piece! Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching!
I have a Coleman 527?? Surgeon stove and it still works,just don't have the tray.
THAT HAS GO TO BE THE COOLEST THING YOU'VE SHOWN YET , WOW ! 😁😁😁
Thanks so much!
Once again, you are creating over the top videos using vintage gear, and giving history and perspectives. Thank you James.
You're welcome!
What a fabulous video!! Puts today’s preppers to shame. And what a
marvelous legacy our ancestors passed on to us!
Thanks so much!
AWESOME!
Thanks!
I do that heading off into the woods with my coffee kit quite often. Yesterday was the most recent time but it's a several times a week thing for the. Of course; my kit is less vintage but it does the trick.
I'm a very lucky man... my front door is about a 5 kilometer walk well into a provincial park and I'm retired so time I have but few $$$. Still, I've learned that we can be very content with little: I'm in my 60's, in excellent health and have 5 adult children who are leading good lives. I think that is all the wealth I'll ever need.
Another fun video, James! Greetings from Canada to all who read this.
Hello from South of the Border and thanks for watching!
❤
That is neat to use a vintage term, what is old is new.
That brought back some memories.
I grew up in the 60's and 70's My Dad was a construction Electrician and I remember him taking his Stanley and Thermos lunch boxes to work Back then me, my Sisters and the neighborhood kids were taking our metal lunch boxes to school often with popular cartoons on them.
I think we ate better food back then, Mom made us sandwiches, we also got a piece of fruit or a fruit cup in a can, chips and sometimes a cookie or two, our thermos usually had milk in it or sometimes lemonade or Koolaid
I'm now retired but I still work part time, but during my working years those small coolers like the lunch mate were popular,
These days my "Lunch box" is built into my backpack its has an insulated pocket for food and drinks which is nice having all my things in one place.
My paternal Grandfather and great Uncles were construction workers too, I could see them having something like this lunch box, I don't know if they would have a coffee kit with them but If I worked in construction back then, a cup of coffee would be a nice pick me up.
Thank you so much for watching and I'm glad that you enjoyed the video!
Your videos are always amazing :)
God bless you and your family James 🙏🏻
Thank you! You too!
This is so cool
Thanks!
I have just recently, put together a coffee/tea kit. I used an old file box that is just a little larger than a Stanley lunch box.after watching you, I added a spoon & paring knife.
You find and share the most amazing things from times gone by. Really enjoy your efforts to intertain and educate us the viewers. Thanks.
Excellent! Thanks for watching!
I'd love to get my hands on a set like this. I have an old traveling bar kit that i put together in a similar fashion. I had no idea a kit like this existed until this video, and now I have a new goal to assemble one for myself.
Excellent!
This reminds me of my brother talking about 'camping coffee,' which was coffee grounds simply poured into a pot of boiling water over the campfire. You wait a bit for the grounds to settle to the bottom before attempting to drink. He said it was awful, muddy. Your kit is much more sophisticated!
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Maybe my favorite vid James.
Great antiques that show the more things change the more they stay the same. I recently put together my own Stanley Lunch Box coffee kit, a little more bougie with modern gear, but yours is awesome. Great job keeping history alive.
Thanks so much!
You know, I never put 2 and 2 together, as to why old lunchboxes looked like that... This vid FINALLY shed some light on it! LOL I love these vids!
Thanks for watching!
I'm a tea drinker, but I'd switch to coffee with something this cool.
Lol. Thanks for watching!
You have collected the BEST antique camping and traveling stuff I've seen! Thanks so much for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Many Thanks James !!!
You're welcome!
So much new technology owes much to the old when concepts took on real and tangible physical form.
Thanks for watching!
James, these living history recreations are so important in understanding the way our predecessors lived. I thank YOU for making these videos-bravo!
You're welcome!
that is a wonderful coffee kit. some parts i have already at hand but here in europe have never seen such cool lunch boxes
Thanks!
Hi James, speaking of old technology, it reminds me of Otzi the Iceman. He had the 10 C's of survival 5000 yrs ago. Back then, it was their EDC. Today's Survivalist have rediscovered forgotten skills and old technology. We rely too much on electricity and/or modern technology. I do jewelry as a pastime. I use a pump drill to drill holes. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Love it.
WoW! I had to look up the term "pump drill"!!! Looks to be a manual drill with a type of flywheel!!!
Yep. And it has a string that twist around the main post and forces to twirl to itself as you push up and down (Pump action).
Thanks so much for watching and I'm glad that you enjoyed it!
Your videos will bring us back to the past.
Back to the roots = Trüch tu de Wöddeln.
Thanks for the great Job.
Greetings from Rostock in Germany
Many thanks!
Past is Future!!!
Absolutely love the lunch box! And the coffee ☕ Maker
Thanks!
This is cool.
Thanks so much!
Thank-you again, so nice to see history come to life, amazing how everything back then was designed to last a very long time, pride in everything made, compared to the garbage made today.
Just amazing as you provide a peek inside the past.
Bravo Bravo. 🙋♂️🙏👏👏❣️🇺🇲
Glad you enjoyed it!
Here in the UK there was something called a "plumbers stove". A small tin with a press on lid, usually a jubilee/pipe clip screwed on the outside holding a piece of metal sheet going about 2/3rd of the way round and v notches snipped in its 'top'. The tin was filled with cotton wool and soaked with Methylated Spirits or burning alcohol. Tin mugs were common enough and that was used to heat water and then add Tea/Coffee. This was back in the day when plumbers worked with lead pipes and had alcohol for heating their soldering iron tip and they usually had tin snips and a screwdriver on them. I've used similar at music festivals and it can boil a pint of water quickly enough to be useful for a cuppa and enough hot water left over for a strip wash.
Very cool!
I love gadgets like this. My Dad had a camp stove and oven that folded up into what looked like a large briefcase. It was really cool. We always had biscuits in the morning before heading out to the deer stand.
Wonderful video James , I've never seen anything like that before , thanks for sharing YAH bless brother !
Glad you enjoyed it and God bless you too!
Good evening! Love your videos!!
Thanks so much!
It's always time for a good cup of coffee...🙂
Right!
I have only one word for this, FANTASTIC! In all my yers of attending country auctions in New England, never once did I see a complete kit such as this. Thank you, James, for bringing this great kit to life for us.
Glad you enjoyed it!
That kit is better than any 2000 onwards alcohol burner setup I've ever owned. Except maybe for the absorbent material likely being asbestos.
Right? Thanks for watching!
Lookup "gelled alcohol fuel" by Boondockery!!!
From reading some of the old
books, I'd guess that the absorbent material was felt
Absolutely amazing. Where do you find such wonderful items??? I know it's wrong, but I am envious of your coffee kit. As always, great video, and thanks for sharing!!
Thanks so much! I spend a lot of time in research and scavenging online.
Maybe the best cup of coffee ever made. Thats the coolest coffee kit ive ever seen
Thanks!
Thats some really cool old school lunchbox
Thanks!
Jim where did you find this set fasinateing .and the alcohol burner wow Awsome just awsome you probably know don't drop or bang the thermos hard you'll break the glass
It took me awhile to pull it all together but I got a lot of it from Etsy and ebay. And, you're right, that glass can be fragile. I broke one when I was a kid.
I win
Congratulations!
🥳
Grandmother had an alcohol cook stove. it's fuel tank hung on the wall next to the stove.thank you for bringing back a memory.
You're welcome!
I still find it amazing at how many things they had back then that we don't even normally think about. Thanks for the video. I am really impressed with how you guys are doing these and the topics you choose. Thanks again.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for that really great demonstration!! Also makes a person appreciate how easy we have it to make a cup of coffee today!!!😄
You are so welcome!
Excellent video ! The ingenuity of craftsman from the past was a God given intelligence. Only made better by considerate, caring individuals.
Indeed!
James, you always come up with the coolest vintage stuff and I just wanted to thank you for sharing them with us.
Glad you like them!
what a wholesome dude.
Thanks so much!
This lunch box and coffee grinder is really cool. I’ve never seen anything like it. Been watching all of your hobos shows. Enjoying them as well.
Awesome! Thank you!
That was an interesting bit of coffee making gear. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it, brother! Thanks for stopping by!
The entire video was engrossing!! I loved it. Thank you for putting it all together.
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a great find-even if it was a little bit of a scavenger hunt! Love coffee and old things. I’m just getting into alcohol stove cooking. It’s amazing how that is over 100 years old and still functional as the day it was first bought. Thank you for sharing!
You're welcome!
Only use denatured alcohol OR HEET (yellow bottle) gasoline additive for a *CLEAN* burn!!! 90% isopropyl alcohol will burn SOOTY!!!
Cool
Thanks!
Awesome 💯

I absolutely love it!
Thank you!!
I love it
Thanks!
A most satisfying watch, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great ! ! !
Thanks!
Watching these videos take me back. Now to show my age. When I went to school in the 60s plus we still had the glass inserts. I think it may have been ceramic. My friend dropped his bottle and broke it. You could shake it and hear the broken pieces.
Yes, I broke a glass thermos myself when I was a kid.
That's awesome.
Thanks!
Great kit! Thanks!
Glad you like it!
I love the old stuff. Great video sir.
