If you want to skip the intro, the instructional part starts at 1 minute and 23 seconds in. Thank you so much for watching, commenting and for giving us such a great year at WayPoint Survival! Happy New year everyone!
It's a good idea the only thing I worry about is those little screws getting stripped out or too much weight causing them to strip out. Overtime a steaming hot cup of joe might weekend the area around the screws. Have you thought about drilling two small holes about an inch to an inch and a half a part on the top part of the cup. Large enough to feed in a zip tie and come out again on the other side in the same hole. Then you could use a medium to large carabiner and with one at the top and one at the bottom or near the bottom it would greatly stabilize your handle. Fasten that down tight and trim your zip tie leaving about half an inch extra and then melting it into a ball so it can never pull loose almost up against the lock part of the zip tie. Your Carabiner should full to either side and should avoid any problems nesting with the other cup and still fit into your large metal cup if you put it on the outside it would come off but since these things are Hollow because of their double wall this would work great and you could even put a little silicone inside the hole around the zip tie to seal it off again so that condensation wouldn't form inside. You could use epoxy or anything it would not have to be silicone. And it would make it even easier to attach to stuff.
Maybe the least needed mod, but the fact that you have at least 19 mods on Stanley Cook Set is simply outstanding!
Thanks!
This cook set is the most versatile cook set of all time....
but only because of your hacks.
...they just keep coming.
👍🏻👍🏻
Nicely done!
Thank you so much!
Brother, I love your craftiness and ability to see handy projects in an object..."hmmm, I can do this to make it into that!"
Thank you for watching.
Great tip , Stanley should sponsor you , thanks for sharing , stay safe , God bless !
Thank you, that would be real nice!
Agreed Stanley really should sponsor some vids. I'm willing bet he's boosted their sales a bit
Couldn't wait to get home from work and watch this when it came up in my notifications. Another great hack.
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it!
I admire the way you keep coming up improvements to the Stanley cook set. Enjoy watching you. Like your hat!
Thank you so much!
I need to dig my cups out and definitely look at the lid addition. Not sure since they are insulated already that I would add the handle/holder addition. Just my opinion. Like all of your Stanley Cook Set ideas and vids - you have definitely made use of the space. Thanks for what you do. Have a great New Year - you and everyone.
Thank you so much!
I’ve done all your mods to the cook set and this came up today and I realized I haven’t done this one yet! Project time!
Sounds good!
Just when I thought there were no more Hacks on the cook set, BAM. You made it happen. NICE hack. You nailed it.
Thank you so much, glad you liked the video!
I don't believe this: I dreamt about putting a handle on my cup. This is perfect. Thanks: you saved me a lot of thinking. I actually have everything including an extra curtain rod support. Thanks for this video.
You are so welcome!
Another one of many great videos you have done about modifying the Stanley Cookset.
Thank you so much!
You truly are a genius when it comes to hacking this set. Can't wait to see what you come up with next.
Thank you. I'm working on a couple more ideas....
that is a sweet addition to the stanley cook set , everyone of your tips and tricks are spot on !! I might try that with a spring clamp on my new tin can cup that I made with my safety can opener
Excellent. Thanks for watching;
These cups are very nice quality, but like you, I always thought a handle would be nice. Just something to put a finger or thumb thru to prevent a drop. Last year when I got my Stanley set, I made a handle... not permanent or as nice as yours.
Garden suppliers like Lowe's, etc...sell velcro strips...about 1/2 in. thick, for supporting tomato plants. They're about 10 in. long or so. You get a bunch of them in a package and they're cheap (and useful for all kinds of stuff). I ran a strip thru a keyring and attached the velcro loosely around the cup, just under the ridge where the cup widens. Then I pushed/pulled the velcro band up and over the ridge, for a good snug fit. It takes a couple tries to get the tight fit, but it won't budge once you get it right. The keyring folds over against the cup and the velcro hasn't loosened or needed adjustment since I did it. Very secure feel.
I suppose a thick rubber band might work, or maybe duct tape? In any case, yours is a nice mod and I might try it on my other cup to see if it works better. I will also check your your lid mod...my coffee gets cold too quickly in the winter!
Thank you for watching the video and for the great suggestions!
Yet another great video James 👍 Thanks mate
Thanks so much!
all of these hacks are great! nice one brother
Thank you!
Great hack. I love watching videos like this one. They always get the imagination going for new ideas.
The bracket you made reminded me of some of the picture hangers I’ve seen. Looking online I found a few that may be thin enough with a small round or triangle ring to put on the bottom cup. The key ring would need to be removed but would attach to the hangers ring when used. I’ll check next time I’m at the store to see if any there will work.
Sounds great! Thanks for watching!
Love that hat! My Dad wore a hat exactly like that in the winter and a straw hat in the summer!
I Still have that hat!
Excellent, thanks for watching!
Thank you for another Stanley Hack. See you next time.
Thank you for watching, my friend. Happy New Year!
Excellent idea thanks!
Keep up the great work
Thank you for watching!
Nice tip , like the idea. Just when I think that there isn’t any other hack, you come up with another one . I can’t wait for the next one . Maybe how to fix a 30lb. Propane tank to the Stanley cook kit 😁 lol . Thanks for the video and have a good week and a happy new year.
Thank you so much! If I could just figure out a way to carry it lol! Happy New year to you as well!
Cool hack! Really digging that lid you're wearing.
Thank you!
That's a great 👍 Idea 💡 thanks I purchased my lid for my Stanley cook pot also works great 👍😃🎈🎈
Excellent. Thank you for watching!
I only subscribed today but I have been enjoying your videos.I have a Stanley Cook Set too so I have set to modify it.Keep up the great work .Also loving the old time camping and trekking series.Stay safe and God bless.Thanks
Thank you so much, glad you're enjoying the channel and welcome aboard!
thank you for sharing, and creating a space for great comments! your tips and tutorials are full of great ideas, and lots of the comments are have interesting tips as well. A lot of your tips are how to use this stanley set in the woods. I am curious if, (and how) you would use or modify this cook set for cooking in an urban environment without electricity. Or, could this cook set be all one person needs for daily living in our homes?
Thanks so much. Just use a fire and use really dry and small wood to keep it stealthy. It could be one's only cook system.
@@WayPointSurvival so interesting! I think this stanley cook set is like the "blank canvas" for survival cooking, it seems to have a world of possibilities. Thank you!
Another Genius Hack.
Thank you so much, my friend! Happy New Year!
Hi James. Thank you for sharing your 'Stanley' tips once again. Stay safe and have a Happy New Year. ATB. Nigel
Thank you so much, my friend! Happy New year to you as well!
Very cool. Handles are good to scoop up boiling water easier too, or cold water from a stream
Very true, thank you so much for watching and commenting!
That’s clever James
Thank you!
Good one brother. Handy tip. I hope you had a good Christmas. Stay safe and warm pal.
Thank you, Chief. It was a good Christmas with a lot of things for which to be thankful!
Another fun hack very cool wishing you a safe and happy new year.
Thank you very much! Happy New Year to you as well!
Very nice tip. I bet you could use 4 brackets and a couple pieces of coat hanger to make butterfly handles like a canteen cup as well. The cup may still fit as long the the handles are curved to fit the cup when folded. Just bend the wire a little on the ends so they can't slide out of the brackets when the cup is full
Yes, that would work well also! Thank you for watching!
Gonna pass on this hack, but I appreciate your video.
Thank you for watching.
Very impressive idea to better improve those green cups to use around a camp site.
Thank you so much!
Nice hack! Thanks!
Thank you for watching!
Great hack, looking forward to more videos in 21. Happy new year. Alan Rice.
Thank you so much!
Great tip...thanks...stay safe and in the woods...
Thank you!
Great videos, thanks.
Thank you!
Neat project. Expected to see snow in the background. Have good evening and happy holidays
Well I filmed this last week before the snow came in. As always, thank you so much for watching!
Looks good. Thanks and take care.
Thank you so much!
So when you have exhauseted this set which one will you be doing next? This has been a great set to watch.
Thank you! I have a lot of great content planned for the new year. There might be another cook set of some type in there as well... Thank you for watching the channel and for all your support and kind words. Happy New Year!
Awesome idea
Glad you liked it!
Another good one a James, thanks
Thank you!
fun but above all practical hack. It occurs to me to put another carabiner like the one on the lid instead of the ring. thanks for everything.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Okay you turn a bit of junk into something useful but that hat! I so want one!!!!
I picked that up at a yard sale several years ago. Glad you like it!
That's pretty slick 😎
Thank you very much!
Another great hack. I’d put some Red locktight or superglue on screw to prevent it from coming out better
Thank you, good idea.
Nice video. Instead of making holes in the cup, did you consider using 2 part epoxy to attach the bracket?
I considered something like that, but I'm not sure that epoxy would stick very well to this type of plastic.
I like this hack as I find that I need a handle a lot for my cups but I was also thinking of another hack that you did involving the green cup and was thinking of combining the two somewhat to make the handle stronger I will try it first and let you know if it works it involves where you open up one of the cups to make 2 of them but I was thinking that if you installed the handle to the outside cup with not only the screws but small machine washers and nuts on the inside of it and job welded them on the inside of the cup and then resealed the cup back together with heat proof jb well for pl mastic making it insulated again how well that would work.
I'm not sure. The only way to know would be to try it and see how it works.
James your a pretty fart smeller 🤣🤣great job . Old guy from Florida 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤣🤣🤣👏
Thanks for the compliment!
Good job I would try
Thanks!
Very good buddy.
Thank you so much!
👍 nice project thanks
Thank you and Happy New Year!
Very nice thank you
Thanks for watching!
another usefull idea!
Thanks!
I have 2 of these brackets at ever window. Probably not a problem if 1 or 2 come up missing.
Very cool 🤠
Thank you!
I really like your hat. Is it 100% wool?
I believe so. Thanks for watching!
@@WayPointSurvival❤
I enjoy many of your hacks and your videos in general. About this one? mmmmm....I do not know. These Stanley cups are good as they are, they do not get hot on the outside and it seems to me that a grip with all fingers is probably a better solution. Keep them coming though.
Thank you! It's not really about the heat, it gives you something to hang it with as well as a simple handle.. Thank you for watching and commenting on the video and glad you're enjoying the channel!
I think I might like the metal piece to be just a bit bigger so I can put a carabineer on it. Can just remove the carabineer when packing it and clip it on to some molle
Pretty soon your Stanely cook set with all the Mods on it will weigh more then your whole kit. I've got one coming from Amazon. Hope I can get a stainless cup that fits over the bottom of the cook set at Walmart ? Does the cup have a name ?
It's just an 18 oz. Stainless Steel nesting cup. Thank you for watching.
Would two straps or a wider one with four screws on a Caliper be overkill?
Not at all, I'm sure it could be done. As long as it fits into the pot. Just have to figure out the logistics of it. Good idea. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Thats a nice hack. I wonder how hot glue would work? Or maybe epoxy instead of screws? Knowing my luck id drill through the sides.
I think that the hot glue would probably just melt when you put something hot in the cups. There might be a type of epoxy that would glue the metal to the plastic but I'm not an expert in that area so, I really couldn't say. Interesting thoughts though. Thank you for watching and commenting!
I've used gorilla 5 minute epoxy to hold the scales on knife blades so I'm sure it would hold plastic to metal. Should stand up to the heat as well as long as it's not direct flame. Don't know why you'd have direct flame on a plastic cup, but figured I'd mention it.
Good comment, thanks!
@@donvandenberg5301 Great idea, Thanks
Hey James, I have a video idea for you if you're interested. I'd like to see what your personal set up is that you keep. If you're going out camping, what is the Stanley 2 cup custom set up that you take? Along with what you use to heat it up and ect. Basically a "Let's brew some tea with James" and check out your set up.
Thank you,
Shadrach
Thanks for watching and for the suggestion!
You have made a 10 buck piece of kit into the kit. Another great mod. Thank you, please keep it up.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it;
You could try rivets in place of the screws.
Yes, you could, but the rivets would have to go all the way through the plastic and could potentially leak. Thank you for watching and for sharing your idea!
@@WayPointSurvival I don't think leaking would be an issue. I can't imagine anyone filling it up that close to the top.
That's probably true as well.
Pop rivets instead of screws might work as well
Exactly what I was thinking. But I was thinking about one of his earlier videos where he made 2 cups out of 1. Using the lower outside cup, do what he did here, except instead of screws, use the pop rivets in such a way that they don't interfere with putting the cup back together. Possibly even file them down a little if needed.
Yes, as long as you make sure that they don't leak.
You could use some plumbers strap instead of the curtain rod support
Yes you could. Thanks for watching.
👍👍🇧🇷 Parabéns Ótimo
Obrigado!
🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!
Cool 😎
Thank you!
So I did the same thing with the gorilla tape about a month ago. It works good
Good idea, thank you for sharing it!
Rev’d David Dubay, are you on Facebook? I would like to message you.
@@WayPointSurvival it's not as elegant as yours. But neither am I. 😜
Neet idea but I like how my stack up I keep a cleaning rag in my Stanley cook set to keep the nose down.
Thank you for watching and commenting!
I’m actually surprised how many people don’t like the green cups. I find them perfect size for hot chocolate cause I’m not a fan of coffee.
They are indeed a very well made cup, with a lot of different options. Thank you for watching and commenting!
I use my Stanley metal cup to make coffee every morning on my stove and my children LOVE using the cups, like you, for hot chocolate. I catch myself using them all day instead of my pretty (very fragile) drinking glasses lol!
Or you could just melt the ends of a short pience of paracord and tack them on while still molten.
Sure you could do that.
Nice mod but not compatible with you 4-cup conversion.
Actually it is! I did the same hack to my cup that I split apart the other day.
You forgot to mention that doing it the way you did cuts down on rattling...
Yes it does.
@@WayPointSurvival I bet a clean washcloth might fit in that set...
SOOooo? why spend another 2.50 for that self support/ hanger thingy when you have the left over cookie/baking pan, just cut a strip out of it for your bracket. oh as an aside ditch the screws and JB weld it to the cup
Well, I had the curtain rod hanger just left over in the drawer and it was the perfect size already. But, you're right you could definitely use the leftover piece from the cookie tin. As far as the JB weld, I'm not sure if that would stick to the type of plastic that the Stanley cups are made out of. Still, not a bad idea. Thank you as always for watching and commenting!
@@WayPointSurvival SOOoooo??? Only one way to find out about the plastic and the JB weld, just try it
Cleaver, but I don't need it. I did drill a hole in a Stanley and put a loop of cord thru it because I left that cup stored on a branch in the woods, but that is too simple and obvious to be of value to a video.
As long as it works for you, that's what counts!! Thanks for watching!
Too far. They're insulated, don't need handle and handle gets in the way
Thank you for watching.
By piercing the cup you have lost the insulated property's that Stanley has been known for for decades 🧐
Not at all. You can stack them back together and the cup will once again will insulate your hands from the heat.
just zaptieh a keyring to it no tools needed
The zip tie would just slip off. The plastic is too slick. Thank you for watching and commenting!
How many people actually did this? You did this please give me a thumbs-up to let us know you did. Thanks...
I actually did...lol!
@@WayPointSurvival sorry to say you have a survival channel you're not the average person.
I was kind of looking for people who are just normal campers and backpackers. You're the exception to the rule..... Sorry to sound that way ....
No problem! Just trying to add a little humor to the day.
Hmmm got half way through this video (my first one by this particular “survivalist”) and thought to myself “why would I need a key ring dangling in my way on my Stanley cup?” Gotta do better than this to get me back.
Well, thank you anyway for stopping by and watching at least a little bit of the video. I teach a lot of improvisation on my channel and not all of my hacks or videos are for everybody.
Don’t like coffee.
Right, lol! I would suggest hot tea or hot chocolate! Thank you so much for watching the video and for making me smile!
Wish I could buy just 2 green cups..not the cookset
You can probably find some for sale if you post on one of the online forums and ask about it.
Handles get in the way..catch on things and destroy integrity of cups
Actually this handle is very unobtrusive, does not get in the way of anything, makes it easier to hang on a hook or branch, or hold on to and does not destroy the integrity of the cup. However, thank you so much for watching and sharing your opinion!
You are such a nancy boy.
