![Toilet Roll Hack! [REALLY COOL!]](/img/n.gif)
Hope you like this hack and I appreciate all the views and comments! You all are the best!
You do know that burning that insulation gives off highly TOXIC fumes and residue. Usually your hacks and tips are spot on, this one not so much. Stay safe
I did a video on this back in 2008. Nice to see you've made some improvements on the idea.
Fiberglass is not flammable. All you're actually burning is the alcohol. The fiberglass is simply used as a way to cheaply soak up and hold the alcohol while it is burning. As far as the smoke, I wouldn't recommend breathing the smoke from any fire large or small.
@@WayPointSurvival fiberglass is most certainly flammable. Ever see a housefire. No insulation is left. According to niosh, osha, and the building trades council, fiberglass is also friable( not a misspelling) during fire, giving off particulant matter. Check the niosh manual.
You can’t get much lighter then that. Nice idea.
When you think you have seen every version of every stove in existence, here comes James with yet another new creation. Good work, man.
Thanks for watching!
Good idea works well
Brilliant! I was looking for something like this for alternate way to boil cook secretly in urban “black out no electric “ but flames not allowed by landlord or military or city orders curfew .
@@barbaralong2212I bet carrying a extra cup or can and make a lid out of another cut off lid ( screw for center of lid ) you can place it under and put a lid on it to put it out
I was thinking the same
I like that the stove is so wind resistant. It amazes me how so many stoves can be extinguished by a gentle breeze.
Thanks for watching!
Excellent cleverness, James
The wond resistance is very impressive! The best quality about it imo
OK James, tell me truth. How do come up with all this stuff? I've never seen anyone come up with as many hacks as you and that speaks volumes!!
As usual that's pretty darn clever!!! Great video as always 👍
I really have no idea except that I think God gives them to me. Thanks for watching!
@@WayPointSurvival well all I can say if you're getting it from God that's fine with me. Have a nice evening
@@WayPointSurvival:
Your a blessing to this earth.
He's an outdoor hacks genius,Brian! :)
@@WayPointSurvival God is the OG of hacks, seeing as how He created the systems in the first place! But He’s turned me on to some things throughout my life that, while not earth shaking on a big scale, definitely helped me out on a small scale. PBS used to run a show called Rough Science about the survival level application of High Level Educational Science in very difficult circumstances. God’s turned me onto small devices that only had a single application but really made a huge difference at the time that I needed them. He’s a hack genius for sure!
I came across a similar hack yesterday. Instead of a tea ball, used a small round tin stuffed with insulation and has a wire mesh screen from an old strainer. Works the same. I like it better because it sits flat on the ground. Still have to use a pot stand.
It sounds very much like the one that I made using an altoid's tin. Thanks for watching!
Actually that brings up an interesting idea. I got a couple bird feeders (the square ones 4x4x1.5 i think, where you can slip in a sleeve of pre-made bird seed). The metal is too far apart to be useful (to stuff with insulation anyways) in this case, but if we could add the same mesh (say reusing a strainer or salvaging a oil splash guard, i'd avoid the metal screen but if someone tested and that worked i'd reconsider) add insulation, fold in thirds and close, insert with a large round tin lid on one side (to separate from the ground), and close it, might get a similar thing for a semi on-the-go combination stand and stove. Though you have to burn the plastic off first before starting.
Though for about a dollar at Dollar General you can get a sink strainer, turn upside down and stuff it and you might get a similar effect once you put on top of an appropriate canister.
Though i'd probably take a gel-fuel container or something and do something similar. Don't know, but if the insulation didn't burn up and the alcohol will work, brings up several useful ideas to try.
This is an awesome hack. I have a tea ball that I found just laying around. It's not the mesh style like that one is, it's more solid stainless with holes in it. Been hanging on to it for a while trying to figure out what to use it for. Guess I know my answer now.
Excellent. Thanks for watching!
@@WayPointSurvival you're welcome. I'll have to try it out. Might replace the "catfood" stove in my 2 cup cook set.
James, I gotta say I have seen you come up with some cool stuff but this has to be top 3. There is SO much you can do with this. Appreciate it!
Thanks so much!
Hi James! You never disappoint. Fun to watch and even more fun to try.
Thanks so much!
That is quite clever! Bushcraft MacGyver!
Thanks so much, my friend!
That is amazing and looks so easy. I'm excited to try it with the tea ball that I never use. Thank you!
Thanks so much for watching!
Another great hack! Thanks, James ATB Sam from Vietnam
Thanks so much, Sam!
Pretty cool ! I enjoy your videos James, you always come up with something genius.
Thanks so much, my friend!
James, another ingenious hack! Happy Trails
Thanks so much!
Love it! You have ideas that I would never think of. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
I have been sharing your videos and passing the knowledge on to those who are interested , you are an incredible resource , every thing that you have shown and researched in your videos is so doable ,so easy to make , I'm blown away , thank you for your videos
Thanks so much!
Wow ! James, that was the most innovative technique that I have seen in a long time. Thank you so very much for sharing it with us. God bless you and those you love !
Thanks for watching and God bless you too!
Always a Thumbs up. Great video. Thanks for sharing. And it was great to meet you at the Pathfinder gathering.
Thanks so much! I really enjoyed meeting you as well.
Great design James! You just keep coming up with gadget after gadget for me to build! Love the simplicity of this. I’m going to go ahead and ask “what’s next”? I know it’s just a matter of time before you amaze us again!
Thanks so much, I'm not really sure what I'm doing next!
New Waypoint video up...Stop what im doing and watch immediately!!!
Thanks so much!
This one is just great. Excellent job of explaining how to. The reason i look forward to your videos.
Thanks so much!
Another amazingly simple and useful hack. Well done James 👍.
Thanks for watching!
What a neat little hack, well done. Thank you 🙏
Thanks for watching!
Unique idea. IDK if I would use it other than a havfta situation but it's another option I hadn't thought about. Insulation is very versatile and useful for many survival applications. I use it in my fancy feast stove instead of paying the ridiculous prices they want for carbon felt
LOVE this very simple stove but wow, I was feeling itchy watching all that insulation handling. 😂🤣 That stuff makes my skin crawl…literally.
It's not too bad if you wash your hands immediately after handling it. Thanks for watching!
Great idea!! Can’t wait to make mine.
Excellent, thanks for watching!
WOW ! What a great idea !
Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Very cool . The better half used to collect tea balls and I old kitchen gadgets. Should still have a box of them. Thanks for sharing the info. Have a great evening
Excellent. Thanks for watching, my friend!
Super idea. Compact , light weight cheap and very efficient as well as practical. I love the idea.
Thanks so much!
Cool thanks for the video
Thanks for watching!
Based off a video from Robert Murray Smith carbon felt would likely be a much better option than fiberglass (see his video on the forever wick). It's commonly sold as soldering shields or welding blankets, true not as readily available as insulation but should be considerably safer. Also when used in a pipe as he does it works with vegetable oil. Possibly in the teaball as well.
Thanks for watching. I'm sure that could work also.
I tried Robert's carbon felt and vegetable oil in a copper ummm fitting? Didnt work, not sure what I did wrong.
@Vicki M couldn't say for sure but a lot of times vegetable oil needs to be started with a drop or 2 of alcohol. Pretty sure he normally uses methanol with the lab dropper. After it's lit the flame heats the oil altering the viscosity and allowing it to wick and continue burning.
@@CP-xo6yb thank you so much
Another good tip I’ll be trying out this fall, thanks JAMES. We’ll be waitin for the next one.
Great, thanks for watching!
Thank you for your service and your information
You're welcome!
Wow! You did it again. Awesome video.
Thanks so much.
Really enjoyed this one a lot. 😁
Another good one! Thanks for sharing...
Thanks for watching!
I enjoy all your vids. Simple and effective works. Thank u my friend
Thanks so much!
James, you are absolutely brilliant!
Thanks for watching!
I think it's a decent idea but the execution could probably be improved. I'd probably find some way of hanging it on the stove rather than the cup. I'd also probably find a way to make the bottom solid to direct more flames to the top. Be fun to play around with it.
Thanks for watching!
The extra mesh allows for better air flow. The heat goes up so I don't see how a solid bottom would be beneficial.
@@ShojoBakunyu It's called experimentation. A solid bottom would direct heat up and make for more efficient heating. That mesh isn't doing much for air flow.
May be flatten out the bottom a bit of " J B Weld " or wire a flat metal disc in the bottom ???
Mtn Mel , Ret USN SERE, Colo.
Yes , the goes flame up ! Good.
This is a great little device! Good job!
Thanks for watching!
Excellent hack !
Keep them coming definitely keeping the grandsons busy .
Prayers up
Thanks for watching!
AWESOME HACK!!! I will most assuredly be putting the components of this great idea in my Bush Bag. THANK YOU FOR THIS IDEA.
Excellent. Thanks for watching!
great video. i would change the fuel holding medium to be more like a Zippo lighter. cotton balls compared to the insulation. and maybe find a container to put around the tea ball to enclose it when not in use.
Thanks for watching. I would definitely not use anything like cotton balls because they would burn up. Insulation, however, is not flammable.
Insulation won't burn. I threw some non fiberglass fiber fill insulation in my fire pit and a year later it was still there.
Excellent idea!!!
Thanks!
Absolutely amazing!!
Thanks so much!
Good improvisation. In hard times you may need to survive in an urban setting, now we have another tool in the toolbox. Thanks James.
Thanks so much!
Dang it now that itch to go thrift store shopping is getting worse lol thank you brother and awesome videos. Omg your in Ohio??!!holy crap! I’m in Lancaster and I go down southern Ohio a good bit at times well hot dog!
Thanks for watching!
Interesting concept. 👍
If you use a can with top and bottom lids removed you could focus the heat better, improving your boil time. Alot of heat dissipates without some kind of barrier to keep it moving along the cup.
Thanks for watching.
This is seriously cool. Plus I love to have some duplicate bug-out or SHTF gear that would probably get left behind if someone broke into my home or car while I was out foraging or something. You really make my day with these creative acts. Thank you so much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good idea !!
I place charcoal in tea balls to keep in my fridge and freezers. More effective than baking soda at fighting oders. Also, no spills.
Caught this one early!
Great, thanks for watching it!
love your videos but hoping you show part 2
Thanks for watching. The video didn't do well enough at this point for me to make a part 2.
Great project. Also, James you provided a very helpful suggestion about denatured alcohol. Heet is not labeled or intended to be used as a fuel.
Hi James..
I use this in the sink-stove 👍
(no need for the chains)...😎
God bless you 👌
Thanks again and God bless you too!
Awesome
Thanks!
Wow. Cool. Could you light it up with a ferro rod?
Yes as long as it wasn't below 32ﾟF.
Super cool idea❤
Another very cool hack James. Thanks for the video and for sharing your thoughts and experience with us.
Thanks for watching!
Great idea! Easier to make than a Fancy Feast stove.
Thanks for watching!
Nice!!!!
Thanks!
That is precious! Love it!
Thanks so much!
Once Again James, Thanks for Sharing Your Knowledge and Blessings To You!
Thanks so much, my friend!
Thank you for this video. Looks like an ingenious idea.
May I suggest carbon felt in place of (shudder) fiberglass?
IMHO, fiberglass belongs in a contained space, to serve as insulation.
Again, thank you for this video.
That would work well also! Thanks for watching.
Another interesting hack. I'm curious if you could extinguish the flame by picking up the cup - with a gloved hand - and dipping the hanging ball into an empty tin can. I think lowering the cup momentarily atop the can should extinguish the flame.
You really want the flame to burn out all of the alcohol as it will continue to off gas whatever fuel is left.
Fair enough.
Ingenious. Thank you. Definitely earned my subscription.
Looking forward to more.
Thanks so much and welcome aboard!
Brilliant idea
Thanks!
Very cool. I would wear gloves for the itchy part But a very great idea!
Thanks. I've handled so much insulation over the years that it doesn't bother me too much.
Really Cool James the tea ball you used was mesh on both sides and not the most common the ones you left in the baggie were more common. So do you think this would work with the others that were steel with less holes?
/
Probably not as well. The stainless steel mesh allows the alcohol to fully mix with the air and that's where you get the intense heat from.
Brilliant! I'll try this out.
Thanks for watching!
Brilliant, love the you think outside the box
Thanks so much!
Love the hack James. However I hate itchy insulation...lol
Thanks. It's not too bad as long as you don't roll in it. Lol.
so, can it be used more then once or does the insulation burn out as the flames get hotter?
It can be used many times as the insulation doesn't really burn out.
@@WayPointSurvival will you ever need to replace the insulation, or is it like the sand and alcohol "tuna can" stove that only needs cleaning (rinsing) once in awhile?
Brilliant hack. Many thanks!
Thanks for watching!
I love the things you share. practical, creative, innovative.
Thanks!
👍👍
Thanks!
I am an avid tea drinker and have at least 5 teaballs...
My question is: won't it get too hot to melt the wires in the teaball?
No, it won't get that hot.. Thanks for watching and for your question!
@@WayPointSurvival
Thank you for the quick response. I have ALL the ingredients to make several of those...will try it for myself and give a couple of them to my fellow prepper friends. Thank you so much for this pocket sized information...I just love it 😍
Fantastic hack, love it!
Thanks so much!
Hello ! I just subscribed to your channel and I absolutely love it. This is so educational and useful. You're ideas are so brilliant! I stopped watching tv years ago because it's so mindless now. I love learning . You're channel is the best thing on UA-cam.
Thank you so much!
Thanks so much and welcome aboard!
What a crazy great idea and thanks for recommending genuine Fuel Alcohol and not automobile additives. Thanks again and best wishes for all future endeavors.
Thanks so much for watching!
That is pretty darn cool and I will remember this forever thank you and a great tip
Thanks for watching.
I'd go with rockwool or carbon felt 1 rockwool hydroponic cube would work great. They will last forever. Great idea.
That would work well too!
Very cool! Love it. Thank you so much
Glad you like it!
Great idea James
Thanks!
Genius idea, thanks
Thanks for watching!
Excellent video, can’t say I ever seen a tea ball ever used like this
Thanks for watching!
This is pretty genius. I really love it!
Thanks!
If you hold it by the ends of the chains, you could drop it into a cup and smother it with the lid
See these at thrift stores and garage sales cheap all the time. Never thought of this type of use, another super creative hack, thank much.
Thanks for watching!
part mad genius,part rambo,all with a hearty smile!you never fail to impress james,yet another ace item for my bug out bag,lets hope i only need it for festivals and camping mate!
Thanks so much!
Way to innovate! I think this is my new favorite homemade alcohol stove ever. Now I need to find a jumbo tea ball.
Thanks for watching. There is a link to some inexpensive ones on Amazon in the description box underneath the video.
That's a great idea for wet snowy windy days!
Indeed. Thanks for watching!
I want to try this one . Thanks for thee weekend project
Thanks for watching!
Awesome! Very innovative and cost effective.
Thanks!
Pure genius
Thanks!
I really like this one. I can actually use this in different situations. Good one!
Thanks for watching!
That was way cool , very thought out !! Thanks for sharing !
Thanks for watching!
Really brilliant and simple!! A keeper!!
Thanks!
This is killer!
Making one!
Thanks Sir!!
😊
Excellent, thanks for watching!
Amazing! A very tidy solution and I didn't realise salt did that to flame.
Thanks for watching!
Clever. This video is why I subscribed. Way to think outside of the box.
Thanks!
a brilliant idea.
Thank you!
That was amazing very simple and I have one of those in my drawer here I'm going to put it in my camping kit we got lots of tent pegs because we used to have the metal ones now they have plastic ones so I've got a lot of the metal pegs
Excellent. Thanks for watching.
That's a great idea for my Emberlit. Might have to try it.
Excellent!
