    “This is so simple, why didn’t I think of it?”

    I have never owned one of those cups, but everyone I know does. I have been camping on the road now for 7 months on my trip and, I have been using the old enameled metal camping mugs. I wrap the handle with 3 layers of silicone tape and do my best to keep the handle out of the flames. It works ok but after seeing this, I am very tempted to get a swing handle cup just so I can use your idea. Thanks for all you do for people out here like me.

    Wowak is Indian for "good with sticks."

      @OverlandOne 3 місяці тому +2

      Not to argue your point but, I have seen a translation that says it means "Great with sticks." You know how translations go, either one might be correct, ha ha.

    Nice hack if you need it. I keep a pair of buckskin gloves in my pack (also a couple of bandanas) that are so useful for a lot of tasks. Great for snapping up firewood and no nicked or pinched skin. I've made my living with my hands and always protect one of my most important assets.

    You only need a couple sticks, 2' long. Dont need to leave then on the cup either to take it off.
    Bit hard to explain..... but just cross them through the handles and squeeze them together. Been doing it for years to take my Aussie Quart pot of the fire.

    I wouldn't think a branch that thick would carry the weight of that camp cup full of water. Would have been nice to see you demonstrate it. Or, at least caution us on the flexibility of the branch due to it's strength/thickness.
