    Going to make a pot like that. I’m stuck on a base and can’t get a normal backpacking type gear. With mouths to feed I can’t order any either. Nice kit, Sir. Well done.

    Excellent! Some folks may be concerned about the coating inside the can. What I do is burn the coating off by putting the can into a hot fire for awhile.

    Let me first say OMG Tang!!!! Grew up on it and loved it , but sadly just cant get it amymore in Australia. To say I watch hiking videos a lot is an understatement. This by far, is the best, cheapest, most lightweight, readily available, easy to make and carry cook kit I have come across. After tomorrow this will be my new cook kit. Thankyou for taking the time to share. Big kisses from Aus. XXX

    Great nesting setup and economical too. Question: how do you keep the soot from the cook can from getting inside the white rehydrating container? I suppose using baggies to rehydrate would cover it.

    • @TomsBackwoods
      @TomsBackwoods  8 років тому

      Ya Baggies work great but if your using denatured alcohol or HEET i don't find any soot on the pot. but a camp fire would be a different story!

  • @ruthscott5166

    Question: do you know if bean containers have "liners". I've been hearing from my research that some cans have a bpa liner which is bad for you. I'd love to make one of these.

    • @swtsoph
      @swtsoph 4 роки тому +1

      I think all food cans have the lining inside now. I was told that you just have to boil water in it a couple times & the lining will cook right off. Just be sure to throw away the water from those first boils.

    I am using a Vienna sausage can instead of a catfood can. It is punched the exact same way. But when I put the can on it, the flame extinguishes. The fuel is either denatured alcohol or 91 pct rubbing alcohol. If I don't get it up an above the flames, it dies out.

    • @TomsBackwoods
      @TomsBackwoods  7 років тому +1

      It could be that your not giving the fuel enough time to heat up. Try giving the fuel a full minute burn before setting your pot on the stove. The smaller can diameter might need smaller holes as well. Good luck to you!

    • @broadwayFan28
      @broadwayFan28 7 років тому +1

      I tried again and it failed. The only difference was the wind break. I was using foil around 1/2 the burner and pot. When I removed the foil, it stayed lit. So I put it into a ventilated 2 pound coffee can, put the pot right on the Vienna can and success! Thanks.
      I see now that your windbreak is an inch or more off the can and my foil was almost on the can.

    • @TomsBackwoods
      @TomsBackwoods  7 років тому

      Denatured Alcohol . You can find it at paint stores or hardware stores. Or yellow bottled HEET works welll.

    If you are in a campsite with a campfire then use the existing fire. Liquid fuels can be problematic near open flames and besides you can conserve your fuels.

    • @TomsBackwoods
      @TomsBackwoods  7 років тому +1

      Use a fire ring is up to the hiker/camper if not under a fire ban. Each heating source has its own advantages and disadvantages. Not using liquid fuels near open flame is pretty obvious for most people. I have never had to conserve fuel on a well planned trip. But all of this has nothing to do with the vid or what I was showing.

    • @SandCrabNews
      @SandCrabNews 7 років тому

      No offense intended. I only urge caution because a Boy Scout Leader after teaching boys how to make a simple alcohol stove decided to fill and light it in camp near a campfire, with horrible results. Also, I've watched many videos where someone would demonstrate a fire making method in the presence of a campfire, resulting in wasting resources. Example: If you have a candle lit, then why use your matches to light your campfire, stove or cigarette? Happy trails.
