Really neat way to cook a breakfast (Or a supper). I did this one without gloves (nope, no cuts...) and used only a vintage boy scout knife and a church key for tools. Thanks for watching and please leave me a comment in the section below!
i added the church key to my tools for survival too i always used file eld of a swiss army knife because its what i had ill be making this one soon as i pen a number ten can between paydays
I’m 79 years old so I remember hobos on the RR track when I was a young kid. One of the common meals of hobos was a can of tomatoes (less than 10c) heated with day old chunks of stale bread (free at bakeries) . Good job James, good memories for me!
@@nikolaybelousov1070 get the too good to go app. They have tons of bakeries listed who will give baked goods at 1/3 of the price. I think they only do it through the app because to advertise publicly would get people to try to avoid full prices.
Did this in scouts 35 years ago. All the men were busy working. So, My mom was the den leader. Taught us basic cooking and wild edibles skills. As well as wild medicinal skills. She's a pretty handy lady.
How cool is this? Bacon and eggs with no pan? This is so demonstrating true top notch survival! Brilliant! Just brilliant! Another academy award winning video! God bless you!
Bacon, eggs, AND toast! I imagine to clean they just would've scoured with creek sand/water? Or maybe it was only used for a few days in one place and left? I really like this idea.
This is one of those channels where you hit the thumbs up on every video before the intro even starts because you know the content, regardless of what it is, is going to be awesome and informative. You never disappoint sir! God bless!
I thought the toaster section of the hobo stove was epic!! The video was great I really enjoyed how you made it like a mini movie traveling down the tracks.
I love the Hobo series!!! Keep them coming. Vintage camping is why I love camping. The opening shot was the best EVER!! You on a train!!! Not sure why I found it funny but it got me good. Thanks James for all the hard work to out put into these videos.
Omg so glad i saw this. I still have my daughters coffee can cooker that she made in girl scouts. She is 32 now. And it still cooks a hambuger perfectly. So glad i saw this. Thank you
Using the bottom of a hobo stove as a hot plate is certainly a great 👍 idea 💡. I think 💭 the use of the large billy tins carried on 19th century sailing ships by swagmen in the Australian 🇦🇺 outback as boiling pots may have led to some of these large tins re-purposed as hobo stoves. Australian astronaut 👩🚀 Andrew Thomas carried with him explorer John McDuall Stuart's brass flint and steel on board the Space shuttle. This artefact is now in the Adelaide museum.
Just discovered this channel. It's like vintage survivalism, I love it. With everything going on in the world today it might be a good thing to learn the old ways!
Your videos get better and better! I like the “show, not tell” style, the great scenery, and the hobo theme. I have made stoves like that since I was 10, but the food never turned out as well. Two thumbs up!
This brings back memories of my childhood. In girl scouts we made a similar stove but I’m absolutely in love with the technique to toast the bread! There’s such beauty in the details of the wrapped items and the brown paper bags. I remember when my great grandmother taught me how to make cast iron skillet fried chicken and gravy. We’d dredge the chicken using large paper bags. Thank you for this video! I absolutely love your channel!!
*With one coffee can and a couple of essential tools!* Beautiful and colorful filmmaking, with great tips, tricks and tools. Great educational entertainment.
Remembering so many tricks I used to do as a child and had forgot about watching these . Thanks for the memories and the reminder to pass them onto my grand children before its too late
Wow!! No language barrier, no spoken words. Just an amazing display for others to learn skills that no one can put a price on. At 82 I can recall several Hobo camps. You could tell they were there but there really was not a lot of trash left behind. Awesome video teaching valuable skills. Keep up the great work.
That is very similar to the stoves i used to make in the 70s as a teenager. But we would cut out the feed hole completely and make one like yours near the top on the opposite side. Worked great. Cheers
Meal fit for a king! Nothing like cooking over a fire! I've done something like this (can upside down), and it works great! Cost Nothing but your time to make. Another great video, thanks for putting it up!
Really nice Hobo meal, looked delicious! Great video, just shows what can be done with a can and a few simple tools. Thank you James, I enjoy every video and learn something new from each one!
Really nice breakfast, I'm trying that today. Thanks for another great video. I live in NY city and when I see your videos it transport me back to where I want to be.
Love your hobo based stuff. Love the idea of hitting the road and seeing where you end up haha. Really enjoy your content throughout the channel. Keep up the good work
Yeah, this looks like a much better design than the first one (in your previous video) with the church key holes around the outside and the loose lid inside held up by the notched openings. I'd like to try this next time I'm in the bush.
I'll tell you this much that's what I would refer to as a stove to help anyone from going hungry as long as they have food handy. Thanks again for another out of the park hit . Have a good weekend.
That was neat and a great way to cook your entire meal. I'm not sure how you're able to continually make such entertaining and informative videos but thank you. God bless and stay safe.
Thanks so much. I appreciate your work and revival of those hobos. Since I was a kid I felt respect for those persons who lived really free. I'm a little like that. 😊
Thanks. BTW, I never met a hobo who didn't pause for a moment before eating and thanking the Big Man Upstairs for the food in their hands... I always did. 5 1/2 months of being homeless and broke in the snowy winter with only the clothes on my back taught me to treasure every bite. In the beginning, I pretty much only ate ketchup & sugar packets. I wouldn't beg, but I was always asking if I could do some work for a meal - and if you liked my work, maybe give me a job, please? I won't say what state I was in, but if you aren't the "right religion," none of them will help you. Meanwhile, have a Blessed life and keep the videos coming.
Thank you so much for watching! Being grateful for what we have is one of the major factors in living a contented life no matter what situation you're in.
BBQ or tomato sauce? Oooh, that does sound tasty! While I watched him begin to eat, I thought a cup of coffee was the only thing missing. A tin cup with a pinch of coffee in his hobo bundle, to put on that stove would have been neat!
Awesome! I like the Bread toaster part 👍 I had to make one in Scouts (Canada) just a slightly different design. I wonder how many arguments were overheard about what is the best design when you had a few Riding the rails Hobos from different regions and one can,
I'm a new subscriber and I just want to say, I'M HOOKED!!!! It's amazing what our ancestors were able to do with things we take for granted today. I've learned so much from you, and I'm grateful! Keep on doing what you're doing coz, I believe you're doing us a yuge service for the economic times heading our way! Thanks again and Godspeed. 👍🙏
Hi, That tin can hobo stove is certainly a great 👍 idea 💡especially using the bottom as a hot plate. Unfortunately the ebook 📚 I bought didn't cover any of this, only detailing their crimes and escapades. I would have expected a hobo, particularly a military veteran who, over time would have acquired a mess kit, cutlery, flint and steel, shelter half or tarp, ball 🏀 of jute twine, fishing 🎣 kit etc or he may already have these. He may have done ✅ odd handyman jobs for money 💰 to buy food with. I visualise him buying coffee ☕️ as beans similar to how a Civil war soldier was issued which would have been a lot cheaper. He may have also carried a powerful slingshot to bring down small game and birds with. This person is likely to have traveled between north and south to avoid searing heat and icy ❄️ conditions with the seasons. Definitely one of your better videos.
Another little survival tool you might want to look into is some Klein electricians snips. You can find them it the electrical section of just about any home store. I've gotten used to carrying them the last 25 years due to working in the telecom business off and on doing structured cabling. I feel naked without them. They are great for doing dirty stuff like carving up a can instead of dulling your knife. You can cut small branches with them or score big ones so they break easier, you can score soft steel and other metal rods with them too and they will break on the score line if bent, cut and strip wire, use them on a ferro rod, fire steel, scrape magnesium off those goofy fire starters which I don't really like since the ferro rod tends to fall off and get lost, use them as tongs when cooking, cut up meat with them right through the bones, scale fish, cut thick materials like leather, denim and sheet metal, as well as do fine detailed cutting on light materials, clothing, thread, string, fishing line, nose hairs and paper just as you would with a standard pair of scissors. Using them is a little tricky when you want to cut heavy material. You have to put your ring finger through the lower ring of the snips and use the palm of your hand to press down on the upper ring in order to have enough leverage to hack through tough materials. Be careful with your other hand though while holding items because it is real easy to hack a finger off. I've seen that happen when someone gets careless cutting through a thick communication cable.
I do have a tool similar to that, but I got criticized for using it in the last video or two because someone said that a hobo would never have that kind of a snips. So on this one I showed them how to do it with just the knife and a church key.
@@WayPointSurvival Klein are great but they are heavy and bulky too. A leather man style multi tool would be much better, anyway. Good man! You show them…maybe you should do a video on 25 tools for basic ingenuity🤣
@@wardrobelion The snips I am referring to are only about 4 1/2 inches long and weigh maybe 3 ounces. They typically come with a 2 pouch leather holster and a cable splicers knife. The splicers knife I don't have much use for even when stripping and splicing heavy communication cables since I prefer my Buck knife but I do take that knife with me hiking or camping to use for crap details like splitting small pieces of wood by pounding on it with a stick or making perforations or score marks in thin metal along a line in order to cut it with some accuracy rather than damaging or dulling my Buck knife. In the second pouch on the holster I typically carry a Sharpie, a ball point pen, a short piece of a pencil and one of those small giveaway pocket clip reversible phillips and flat screwdriver combos for use around the homestead or work to mark things for cutting and deal with small screws. By the way Leatherman's I am not going to totally knock them but they have been bad luck for me. The holsters are crap and are just stapled together so they tend to fall apart and you lose your tool. The tool itself is made from steel that is too hard and breaks easily. Particularly the pliers if you try to twist something with them. I broke my pliers just trying to twist the ends of a cheap coat hanger together making a tool. Fortunately I never bought one I have just went through several losing one and breaking two. Two of those were gifts and one I found that someone else had lost probably due to the crappy holster.
Guessing the dislikes are from the "elite" survivalists that say "no you have to have the I'm a douche 3000 made of titanium because it saves you .00004 ounces on weight." Love your channel and how to repurpose stuff. Keep it up brother.
Thank you so much. I do like the titanium stuff and have some of it, however it is very costly and definitely not for the Common Man and his survival quest.
I truly enjoyed the elegantly simple way you prepared the meal. I learned something new. I also appreciate you giving thanks. It seems we take so much for granted these days.
Luckiest hobo alive! Such a clean can, perfect log, and even the train masters were real nice enough to let hang out there, be on, and film around their equipment😆😆 good show!!
@@jeremymoses7401 some of them take a really long time. For this video I filmed for several hours to get all the shots in. And, of course there were a lot of shots and takes angles and various things that I edited out.
@@WayPointSurvival yeah, i thought it was a bit funny you were cooking breakfast going into the dark, but hell, working 3rd, dinner is my breakfast and its nice to actually get some sometimes. I was drooling for that bacon
@@WayPointSurvival hey, don't mention it! I'm currently a "hobo" and this definitely will be on my to-do list so thank you so much! Keep spreading your wisdom!
Really great! Loved it when the ACE hardware ad came up with the grills advertising! A can, compared to the grills available at Ace , yup, truly old hobo, not suburban cooking.
We really appreciate all the work you put in, to bless us with an awesome video like this. Personally I really enjoy these hobo video's. Wish you a very good day.
This is genius!! The double top is good to not burn the food. I can't find a tin so big, but I would like to make one for my garden, to cook on it just for fun.
Very accurate 50 years riding the rails. I always used just a slight modification 4 church key holes top and bottom . no fuel feed cut out. Open top used a bent metal clothes hanger thru church key holes to hold a stewing can. fed thru top used any kind of fuel twigs canned heat charcoal.

Great way to start your day.😎
That knife looks like an old Western brand knife with a stacked leather handle. Nice old knife.
Did you install the lid under the cooking surface? What purpose does that serve?
I was wondering what kind of knife you had?
i added the church key to my tools for survival too i always used file eld of a swiss army knife because its what i had ill be making this one soon as i pen a number ten can between paydays

@@WayPointSurvival how long does it take to set up some of these shots?
@@jeremymoses7401 some of them take a really long time. For this video I filmed for several hours to get all the shots in. And, of course there were a lot of shots and takes angles and various things that I edited out.
@@WayPointSurvival yeah, i thought it was a bit funny you were cooking breakfast going into the dark, but hell, working 3rd, dinner is my breakfast and its nice to actually get some sometimes. I was drooling for that bacon
@@jeremymoses7401 lol. its a hobo slow cooker. If you start early, breakfast should be ready by nightfall
There ya go. Stove, pan, and toaster. Very cool James. Take care.
A slot for toast, Pretty slick. That's one for the tool box. Thanks.
No talking needed! Loved it 👍👍 god bless you making these videos and sharing them!
I'm glad that you like them and God bless you too!
James my friend, I really love how you immerse your self into the content. Very cool 🤠
Thank you!
Awww he gave thanks at the end! That was super!
Thanks for watching!
Love the Hobo series. My great grandfather was one.. rode the rails from Illinois to Florida, where he stayed for the rest of his life.
Very cool, thanks for watching!
Nicely done. And without all that expensive gear they sell on Amazon. Good stuff.
I really liked how you did the Hobo walk off the train and cooked your sandwich from a can. Real good show. Plus yummies!♥
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was fun. Great job. Thank you for sharing! Love and blessings!
I did not expect that level of ingenuity. Purely awseome
Thanks so much for watching!
@@WayPointSurvival hey, don't mention it! I'm currently a "hobo" and this definitely will be on my to-do list so thank you so much! Keep spreading your wisdom!
Really great! Loved it when the ACE hardware ad came up with the grills advertising! A can, compared to the grills available at Ace , yup, truly old hobo, not suburban cooking.
1960s Boy Scout trick. Still use it with kids today
Thank you for bringing it back
You're welcome!
With a few simple tools and a bit of ingenuity, a man can provide for himself.
Indeed he can!
Nice, I like the way you filmed this. And what are the odds you find a new clean can with the lid, HA. Great job.
Not to mention the perfect log to fit into the can🤣
O wooow! .. A-N-D the perfectly cut + width - of can.. uh -Phuk-kin-maze-zing!! 🤯
🤠
Yes, it's amazing what you can find just laying around sometimes, lol!
We really appreciate all the work you put in, to bless us with an awesome video like this. Personally I really enjoy these hobo video's. Wish you a very good day.
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it!
That was very nice and relaxing to watch. It must be a hard life but with moments like this they felt blessed, I am sure
Indeed.
Wow bacon and eggs I love how you did the bread.
Excellent video , that was a well fed hobo.
This is genius!! The double top is good to not burn the food. I can't find a tin so big, but I would like to make one for my garden, to cook on it just for fun.
Thanks!
Great production brother; every bit as good as mainstream TV. Don't know what you do for an occupation, but your camera work is outstanding.
Thank you so much!
God bless you I in joy seeing you saying prayers before you eat aman god bless you and your family
Thank you!
I like that your very respectful saying thanks for your meas l the way you did
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
That is petty cool, I have to try doing this.
This is my favorite hobo stove
Very accurate 50 years riding the rails. I always used just a slight modification 4 church key holes top and bottom . no fuel feed cut out. Open top used a bent metal clothes hanger thru church key holes to hold a stewing can. fed thru top used any kind of fuel twigs canned heat charcoal.
Great idea!
Solid, love all the footage and transitions.
Love it. Great job James.
Simply outstanding! Thank you James
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great idea with the toast!! 😁
That was really cool. No pot necessary. Brillant.
Thanks for watching!
Another great stove idea. Well done👍😊
Love the way the video was done to look authentic
Thanks!
