Thank you for watching the video. I had a lot of fun making this project and I hope you will too. It is an excellent and cheap alternative to buying an expensive bush pot. As much as I love gear, it can really get pricey after a while. Being able to manufacture a useful product from common items is not only good stewardship of one's resources, but it is also good training for a survival scenario should you ever be in one. Thanks again for watching and please leave your comments below. And, don't forget to subscribe!
I have been watching UA-cam since its inception.... i have NEVER... posted a comment .... but i have been watching your videos and ... you have inspired me to make my first comment.... “ excellent teaching and to the point ! Always very informative “. Thank you !
Thinking outside of the box is a survival asset, your videos inspire such thinking. Making a simple tin can into a useful bit of kit not only makes life easier but in a desparate situation can improve your moral too.
They're called that way because people used them to make their Tea and a popular brand in Australia was named Billy Tea, so they started to call them billycans.
It's also an example of "bindle" technology - bindle referring to the bundle, sometimes tied on a stick, that hobos carried. All of this making-stuff-out-of-whatever's-around is called "bindle lore" or "bindlecraft". It's a fine art. My dad was a Scoutmaster when I was a child and he was big on teaching this stuff to his troop; believed it was better to make your equipment than buy it.
I used a Hi-C can for years as a child , back when they still had real "tin cans" about 1965 to 1970... in my research of historical cooking , what you made would be called a corn boiler. There are still some cans that have a tin coating inside . I also have been making a set of bushcraft cooking pots and cups and stove to use. It's a nostalgia thing . Thankyou for the ideas.
I've made one like this using a coffee can, but I did'n't think of handles. The coffee cans are perfect for nesting a quart sized Gator-aid bottle in them. Thanks for the video.
I thought of using a larger can for the demo, but I was going for more of a one person sized pot. Thanks again for watching and for your kind comments.
Nice video. Probably somewhere in the comments already, but make your first butterfly handle, then lay it down flat on a board and tap a nail in at the inner corner of each bend, and you'll have a jig to easily and quickly make a duplicate for your second butterfly handle.
I use a CHOCK FULL O NUTS coffee can (black and yellow can)for my pots. Chock full o nuts doesn't have the inside coating so you don't need to burn anything off. Also, the ribs on the can are actually measured increments, first rib from bottom is 4 ounces and each other one going up is 2 ounces. You'll need a second can to make the pot lid (from bottom of second can) as it has a foil pull top under yellow plastic lid. The yellow lid will help keep loose pot lid in place, hope this helps.
FYI. You could use the top of the coat hanger for your lid handle. Saves a step and utilizes more of the hanger. Just a suggestion. Great project. I will make a couple for our bugout bags as well as the sink stop/hitch pin stove.
Greetings James, Your DIY hobo Pots and pan cooking system videos are awesome can't wait to see a complete video with your system... keep up with those fantastic videos...
Rather than bending the wire that goes under the hose clamps out, make the handles taller and bend the ends in, going around the outside of the clamps. The taller handles will give you a 3-4 finger grip when using gloves.
Shout out to a point survival for helping me help the homeless I use these ideals to make to give them so they have a way to cook food and boil water without being noticed and without causing damage to the community
Yes hose clamps come in handy when doing projects.......you might be the first person I seen use hose clamps for bushcraft projects.... I make use of them myself.....great video
This video is exactly what I was looking for!! I've stumbled onto your videos before from a previous UA-camr that I also love to watch, corporals corner mentioned you in one of his other videos. Ever since I've seen that video I love watching your stuff I like the diy things that you show plus the little tips and tricks and diy stuff that you do, great video is always amazing instructions can't wait to make my own here soon. Nursing a can opener like that I'm definitely going to have to look for one
Very nice & practical! I understand recycling the bean can & the wire coat hanger; but the cost of 2 hose clamps large enough might cost more thn purchasing a bush pot. However, if you are like me, you probably have some of those & other miscellaneous hardware in your shop or garage. The Butterfly handles are a great addition, but the cost is greatly reduced without them. I might choose to add a thrift store container which nests inside which costs considerably less than hose clamps. Godo job, & GOd bless you.
I'm a guy who loves the outdoors an have been through survival training in the military. I'm a Royal Ranger Commander. I love learning about this. I know and have done a lot of these already any many other things as well. HOWEVER, COMMA, you always show something different that works also. BRAVO ZULU!
I was just looking through UA-cam feeds an this video showed. Now I'm going to be honest, I was as a kid taught by my old grand dad abt snares, woodcraft etc...they call it bushcraft or prepping now. An to be fair, one guy does something an everybody an his dog copies lol. Now your video got my interest, at last a uploader who uses everyday items. Uses stuff to make old school gear( the hobo videos for example).....nice to see history been used to show it was done before the hefty price tags an not needed gear. The pole carry video, reminded me of the Roman fucca used on marches an then the hobos 30s, used by troops in ww2. Anyway subbed your channel, keep up the good work mate
Your welcome muka, I seen this video an then thought let's have a look at your other videos. As I said you use history an normal items, it reminded me of my grandads teaching. As he once told, people take it for granted shops, electric, water an general comfort. It's a illusion of life, at anytime it could go........a bit old school knowledge an doing what people did before all that is the difference between thriving and getting by. Told me an cousins to look at history for proof. No social media or Google in 70s lol
Thank you. I made this video before my Stanley Cook Set series. If you find that series on my channel, the No Drill Bail Handle would be a better option and would definitely keep the pot watertight. Glad you liked it and found it useful!
I stole your bail idea for my stanley green cup set and it is so much better. I used an broken wire whisk instead of coat hanger wire. Hangs straight and folds up neatly. Really clever. Thank you!
I have watched quite a few of your videos. Liked the projects, you're a very good instructor. The hobo bush pot you made, I have a suggestion. The leftover top part of the coat hanger could you not take a stick, poke a hole in one ene and stick the two cut off ends through the hole and bend them over. You could use the other hook as a lid lifter. Similar to a dutch oven lid lifter. Regards George
I often wondered what the DIY answer to a Walmart aluminium flask was. Now I know. And I think the cans aesthetics make it more appealing. Consider this a done deal... I want one, so I will make one.
So when myself and friends were teens we would hike in to the woods about 3 miles with just our fishing rodsto a lake we knew. Lots of bass , catfish, perch, and sun fish. Oh and of course sankes, salamanders, frogs,worms, you name it. So no food or water but back then we could drink from the fresh water streams if needed. So we fish and mostly eat the catfish and tis is how. We make a fire get some good coals going and ten find a nice flat rock wash it and place it on the coals let it get hot gut fish lay on stone skin side down and then eat some fresh caught fish. Now im sure it was very good ,fish for hours we were hungry by then, yet no salt or peper or anything but it really tasted good. I alwasy like to try food befor spices so i know what it may need these cat fish needed nothing. Sorry long winded, you make me think of my early days of fishing,camping, hiking, hunting traping. Much of which i no longer do. Thank you!
I did something like this, but not as well. I bought a used Stanley thermos with this on it so I sort of copied the concept. I can't find wire hangers. Nice video
Love it! I might push this into decadence and go for some Ikea stainless steel container to fit the 64 oz Klean Kanteen I just found at the thrift store... if that's even possible...
I've just found your channel so I have some catching up to do. I'm one of those that likes to make things like this even if I never use it. I watched one of Mors videos about making coffee. He used a pot that looked like it held a half gallon or maybe even a gallon but he also used the pot as storage and packed nearly everything he would need in that one container. Great video!
Boy I wise i would have seen this video before a purchased my pot from REI. That being said, this would be an excellent project for a boy/girl scout troop to do. Thank you sir for this great idea, keep up the great work!!
Nice project, but I don't like tin cans because of health dangers - they are basically made from tin (Sn) covered steel, and they put a plastic liner inside, because tin reacts with all sorts of acids, like in tomatoes. I'd always go with stainless steel and you can find rather cheap ones, but without handles, so your project is really helpful - thanks for showing.
Way cool idea. Super easy to make. Since I've been watching your channel I have learned a lot. Thanks for posting keep up the great work. Have a wonderful week. See you on the next video
This video is crazy. I would just LOVE to know where I can find a wire hanger. No seriously, I also need some panty hose and news paper. No one use these anymore and I depended on their off casts :) great video as always.
I find a good place to look is at yard sales and Thrift stores. It's surprising what you can find and if you don't see it out on the floor you can ask the employees.
Nice project. There are so many different sizes of cans that one can have a cup and a few pots nestled inside the larger cook pot. I would go a step further and paint the pot with the same high temperature paint used on barbecues.
Outstanding! Especially the Butterfly handles! I’ve been binge watching WayPoint Survival. Up there in the same game as Dave Canterbury, I am impressed, Thank You…. SanJoséBob
Thank you very much, Prof, this is my next project in the following days, this is a no-brainer decision, I like this "gadget" so much! Generally, I prefer the self-made things, even if it has minor imperfections compared with the "official" things in the warehouses. (For example I have made already my belt from paracord. Obviously, it is less beautiful but at least extremely durable...)
Could have used the hook from the hanger as the lid handle. Also an easy way to punch holes in cans without making a dent is to fill the can with water and freeze it. Then you can hammer holes wherever you want. Nearly posted this when I watched the coal stove. Ice melts and you're good to go
Just wondering how did the sodder seam hold out after repeated use? That was the reason we converted a stainless steel cookie tin to make sure it lasted longer than one season. I bought it at a thrift store. It does contain an alcohol stove made from tin cans.
They last a long time as long as you don't get them too hot. It's a good idea to keep enough liquid in them while cooking and then also coat them lightly with a cooking oil after use and before storage.
Thank you so much. If you watch my video on the Stanley hacks you will find a way to put a bail handle on it without putting holes in it. And then it can be truly watertight.

You could have just used the hanger hook, to replace the paperclip.
I have been watching UA-cam since its inception.... i have NEVER... posted a comment .... but i have been watching your videos and ... you have inspired me to make my first comment.... “ excellent teaching and to the point ! Always very informative “. Thank you !
Thank you so much! That really means a lot.
💯👍🇺🇸
Thinking outside of the box is a survival asset, your videos inspire such thinking. Making a simple tin can into a useful bit of kit not only makes life easier but in a desparate situation can improve your moral too.
Absolutely. Being able to craft useful items from what others would consider garbage is an extremely useful skill.
The best DIY method for making your own pot out of a can that I’ve seen so far on the tube. I’m making it tomorrow 🙂
Awesome! Thank you!
They're called that way because people used them to make their Tea and a popular brand in Australia was named Billy Tea, so they started to call them billycans.
Thank you for adding this info! I was unaware of the origin of the term billycan.
I knew there had to be a story behind the name!
It's also an example of "bindle" technology - bindle referring to the bundle, sometimes tied on a stick, that hobos carried. All of this making-stuff-out-of-whatever's-around is called "bindle lore" or "bindlecraft". It's a fine art. My dad was a Scoutmaster when I was a child and he was big on teaching this stuff to his troop; believed it was better to make your equipment than buy it.
I used a Hi-C can for years as a child , back when they still had real "tin cans" about 1965 to 1970... in my research of historical cooking , what you made would be called a corn boiler. There are still some cans that have a tin coating inside . I also have been making a set of bushcraft cooking pots and cups and stove to use. It's a nostalgia thing .
Thankyou for the ideas.
Thank you for watching!
We started do that around 1957 or 58. because mom forgot the Tupperware tumblers, then for years after because it was fun!
Great build and Great reminder about burning away that Bpa lining before using it!
Thank you my friend!
I've made one like this using a coffee can, but I did'n't think of handles. The coffee cans are perfect for nesting a quart sized Gator-aid bottle in them. Thanks for the video.

I use a CHOCK FULL O NUTS coffee can (black and yellow can)for my pots. Chock full o nuts doesn't have the inside coating so you don't need to burn anything off. Also, the ribs on the can are actually measured increments, first rib from bottom is 4 ounces and each other one going up is 2 ounces. You'll need a second can to make the pot lid (from bottom of second can) as it has a foil pull top under yellow plastic lid. The yellow lid will help keep loose pot lid in place, hope this helps.
Very cool idea and application! Thanks for watching!
Grew up drinking thatcoffee
Such a great tutorial. Thank you so much. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️

Rather than bending the wire that goes under the hose clamps out, make the handles taller and bend the ends in, going around the outside of the clamps. The taller handles will give you a 3-4 finger grip when using gloves.
That is an excellent idea. Thanks for your input!
Nice pot it's giving me idea for 2023
That is an awesome bush pot build! I've seen a lot of people DIY their pot, but not like this!
Thank you!
That curve on the bail is ingenious!
Thank you so much!
That is a useful little bit of kit that is relatively easy to make. I appreciate the metric units too. Thanks :)
You are welcome!
Florida loves the pot 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you for watching. I had no idea that I was so popular in Florida, lol.
I absolutely love the hobo series. Great work.
Thanks so much!
That's pretty neat. I'm gonna make this with my little boy
Excellent!
James Bender. Are you trying to make me homeless. With all these cool DYI gadgets. I am definitely a gadget guy.
Hopefully not! But if you ever do end up that way at least you'll have a lot of options for keeping Body and Soul together!
@@WayPointSurvival HAHAHA. I love you man.

Thanks for watching and I'm glad you liked it!
Will try this with the Chicago screw trick.
Yes, I hadn't discovered this method yet when I did the bush pot video.
So relaxing to watch these videos, thanku way point

Great idea
Thank you!
Excellent video. You even remembered to mention the wind noise when using beans!
Great point, lol, thanks for watching!
Sweet idea I must get some wire coat hangers
Love this idea! I've begun to save a few cans for this type of thing, for when we finally get to go camping in the spring.
Excellent. Thank you for watching!
I have watched quite a few of your videos. Liked the projects, you're a very good instructor.
The hobo bush pot you made, I have a suggestion. The leftover top part of the coat hanger could you not take a stick, poke a hole in one ene and stick the two cut off ends through the hole and bend them over. You could use the other hook as a lid lifter. Similar to a dutch oven lid lifter.

Great! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
Clever bush crafter James. Thx!
Thank you for watching!
Love the creativity and design! Next we need a matching coffee cup (-:
Thank you! Just use a smaller can without the bail handle...
Cool stuff! Thank U for video! Good wishes from Russia!
Thank you for watching and I'm glad that you liked it
That's pretty cool that's a nice little trick
Thanks!
great project James thanks for the video

Wonderful. Thanks for watching and sharing the great adventures!
Man you are the best , you inspire me to go back to the things that make me feel in touch.
Hello my Outdoors friend, thank you for sharing this great DIY. You saved many of your viewers a lot of many. All the best to you. 🤗
Thank you, my friend!
I use a couple of #10 cans to cook various things. Spaghetti mostly......
The handles are simpler, and more complicated at the same time....
Thanks for watching!
Hi james is a beutiful idea ( a big DY ) , easy , cheap and funny , thanks a lot james , see you later , be fine
Thanks, Carlos!
Great video and idea. Newish subscriber here but first-time commenter.
Thanks and welcome to the comment section!
Thanks for sharing this ,I am enjoying your channel .
Thanks for watching!
Nice job with that, I like the addition of the handles on the side
Thank you!
Great minds think alike! This is almost identical to what I'm planning on doing. It's just a matter of getting an empty can that's big enough 🤠
Excellent. Thanks for watching!
I'm impressed good information.
Glad it was helpful!
Wow, that's a really cool hack! Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
That is a darn clean build sir. You could take a micrometer to that thing.
Thanks so much!
Tack så mycket....Sverige ❤❤❤❤
You're very welcome!
Just an idea, maybe you could use the discarded hook as the hanger. It's a little beefy for the job but just tell people it's made in Germany.
Right? You could definitely do that!
I did something like this, but not as well. I bought a used Stanley thermos with this on it so I sort of copied the concept. I can't find wire hangers. Nice video
You can buy stainless steel clothes hangers on amazon.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
A great pot with all the bells and whistles lol 😆!!
Thanks!
Great idea! You are so creative!
Thanks!
Cowabunga mate! Will make a few of those for the team. Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Australia.
Excellent. Thanks for watching!
Love it! I might push this into decadence and go for some Ikea stainless steel container to fit the 64 oz Klean Kanteen I just found at the thrift store... if that's even possible...
That will probably work quite well!
Excellent idea. Never thought of looking at Ikea for containers for Bushcraft.
I've just found your channel so I have some catching up to do. I'm one of those that likes to make things like this even if I never use it. I watched one of Mors videos about making coffee. He used a pot that looked like it held a half gallon or maybe even a gallon but he also used the pot as storage and packed nearly everything he would need in that one container. Great video!
Thanks and welcome aboard!
@Jim Staton- It's a 2 qrt. (1.8 liter) "Mors-bush-pot", available at Four-Dog-Stoves
Boy I wise i would have seen this video before a purchased my pot from REI. That being said, this would be an excellent project for a boy/girl scout troop to do. Thank you sir for this great idea, keep up the great work!!
Thank you so much!
You can use smaller rings for the reel in your Diy fishing rod!🤔great job
Excellent
Thanks!
Nice project, but I don't like tin cans because of health dangers - they are basically made from tin (Sn) covered steel, and they put a plastic liner inside, because tin reacts with all sorts of acids, like in tomatoes. I'd always go with stainless steel and you can find rather cheap ones, but without handles, so your project is really helpful - thanks for showing.
Thanks for watching and I always burn out the liner before I use them for cookware.
So very helpful. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
I love watching these DIY videos! You must have been a scout master!
Thank you for watching! Unfortunately, I have not had the privilege of being a scoutmaster, but I have worked with the scouts before.
That's pretty cool..
Thanks!
Brother that was super cool 🤠
Way cool idea. Super easy to make. Since I've been watching your channel I have learned a lot. Thanks for posting keep up the great work. Have a wonderful week. See you on the next video
Thank you, my friend!
Another awesome project I like it
Thanks!
James that was great I like it

Hmm, I think the kids would enjoy making one as well!
Thank you! Yes, it would make an excellent project for them!
Nice project. There are so many different sizes of cans that one can have a cup and a few pots nestled inside the larger cook pot. I would go a step further and paint the pot with the same high temperature paint used on barbecues.
Thank you! That's a great idea about the high temp paint.
And I see you made the loop on the top big enough to grab with a stick or something🙂so you don't hurt yourself reaching above a flame.
Indeed.
I really enjoy watching your DIY PROJECTS. It gives me something to do while sheltered in place. I'm doing a lot of backyard bushcrafting anyway.
Great! So glad I can be of service in these difficult times. Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comments!

Thank you very much, Prof, this is my next project in the following days, this is a no-brainer decision, I like this "gadget" so much!

Could have used the hook from the hanger as the lid handle.
Also an easy way to punch holes in cans without making a dent is to fill the can with water and freeze it. Then you can hammer holes wherever you want. Nearly posted this when I watched the coal stove. Ice melts and you're good to go
Good ideas. Thanks for watching.
Brilliant!
Thanks!
Just wondering how did the sodder seam hold out after repeated use? That was the reason we converted a stainless steel cookie tin to make sure it lasted longer than one season. I bought it at a thrift store. It does contain an alcohol stove made from tin cans.
They last a long time as long as you don't get them too hot. It's a good idea to keep enough liquid in them while cooking and then also coat them lightly with a cooking oil after use and before storage.
Very cool and teaches self reliance
Indeed. Thanks for watching!
You could use the hook from the hanger to make the handle for the lid.
Yes. That would work. However it doesn't fold down flat enough to pack easily into my kit.
very clever. i'm watching this out of order, but i'm interested in seeing how well this works with the matchlight briquette grill.
I'm sure it would work pretty well but you would have to make sure that it got proper airflow.
I enjoy your videos. You really don't have to spend alot of money on your gear. Nice work
Thank you!
Looks like a great project. I’ll definitely try this one. And besides we eat a lot of refried beans anyway.👍
Thank you so much. If you watch my video on the Stanley hacks you will find a way to put a bail handle on it without putting holes in it. And then it can be truly watertight.
Thank you so much, glad you like it!
Another neat little hack God bless my friend
Thank you for watching.
Pretty slick. I may do this instead if ordering an expensive titanium pot.
Well, the nice thing about it is it's easily replaced if something happens to it.
Good drills - this idea I'm going to steal for myself. Thanks for sharing and stay safe. ATB. Nigel
