I was raised pretty privileged on the central coast of California and dad grew up in Montana. He taught me how to make one of these and we did it out in the front driveway on the concrete. Realizing that you could cook without having a gas stove indoors was amazing to me. Very good memory

I'm 70 in a few months, so those days are in my rear view mirror, but I have ridden about 10 thousand miles on freight trains, and I gotta say, I NEVER had any kind of stove for cooking. Baloney and cheese sandwiches were about as good as it got. Unless I was in a city where I found work. Nevertheless, I do so enjoy watching you do these videos. Keep breathin'.

I did these in the late 60s as a little kid with a cast iron skillet. Mom was amazed at the breakfast I could do with an old coffee can. It really works.

Just after ww2 there was a lot of swaggies in Aus. Hobos in US. They would come and do farm work for food and shelter. Most were what we know now as ptsd or what was then known as shell shock. You would hear them having loud nightmares. A lot had families but couldn't live at home. They used to leave rocks at the front farm gate to let others know if you were supportive of their situation or not. They were always prepared to work for what they got never asked for free stuff. No Govt benefits in those days.

I remember back in the 80's that Boy's Life would do at least one article a month like this and that the Boy Scout manual had several designs for stoves like this. Sadly that art is at a loss with modern camping equipment. Nice to see people like you keeping simple and effective outdoor skills alive.
-
I've made many of these as a kid. You did have one design flaw; It's easier to put the cut out lid inside the can then use your church key to punch the triangles in the side instead of the end. It will hold the end plate on tighter, only one punch per position and fewer sharp edges.

My grandfather was 15 years old when the Depression hit and was one of the many teenagers that left home and rode the rails looking for work. He went from NY to California and back again during the Depression finding work where he could.

Great Video! Ive used this system in the Boy Scouts in 1970's and it worked well with both a wood fire as well as a wax stove. I'll offer one suggestion - when making the double layer at the can bottom, don't put the lid on the outside. Instead, put the lid on the inside and use the church key to punch the holes on the side of the can, locking the top in place. It is both quick and secure.

Every time I watch your video's I'm thinking geez the new normal is getting real bad, I better remember these tricks of survival when I have to run for the hills. Thanks your channel is No. 1 my friend.👍

True Bushcraft! Crafting creatively using the mundane and laying about into usable tools for comfort, feeding and survival w/out expending scores and hundreds of cash. Love it!

As a Boy Scout we made a thing called a "Buddy Burner" that used a tuna can filled with wax and rolled up corrugated cardboard for the fuel source. Over the top of that was placed a large fruit juice can ( Tomato juice can still be found in the cans I'm referring to). We didn't double up on the top of the stove with the cut out lid, which was a great addition, BTW, and we didn't need an access hole for twigs, because we were using the tuna can, cardboard and wax fuel, therefore no air hole either. In that design, it was imperative to cut as many triangular holes as possible around the bottom edge in order to supply air to the Buddy Burner, otherwise it would choke you to death! I'm not surprised that you needed to punch those extra holes. I also seem to remember that, since the diameter of the can we used is smaller than the #10 can you used, we had to punch a few triangled holes through the sides, up at the top, as well, because it was possible to cover all the top holes up with a relatively small pan and that would kill the draft. Really good video, again.

As kids in the 1970's, we made a version of this for camping. We didn't do the double top, and we put the triangular punched holes on the outside wall just below the rim. Thus, the top could be used as a griddle. Melt butter and crack an egg directly on the hot surface! Bacon, hot dogs, or burgers do well, too. We also punched intake holes around the bottom edge of the can. The sharp triangles need to be rolled down and around with a pliers to make it safe to handle. (a bit of duct tape around that edge isn't a bad idea.) A handy fuel source we used was a 14 to 16 oz vegetable can, top off. Roll corrugated cardboard tightly to fit inside, leaving a 1/2" headspace. Then pour beef fat from cooking into the cardboard until it nearly came to the top of the cardboard. Let it cool completely. You can make these and store them in a freezer, for camping or for when the electric's off. To use, place the fuel can on a flat surface (outdoors!) and light it. Place the cooking can upside down over it. And let the cooking begin!

The Hobo and Boy Scout related videos are my favorite James ! My Sons Troop we would do a Hobo Campout once a year. Everyone’s favorite Campout. Keep em coming!
-
I find this more interesting then just going to the store and buying some expensive cooking kit. Plus you can make this stuff almost anywhere!
-
Mods on the run! Perfect! That's EXACTLY the way of the survivalist regardless what era we're living!

Thanks for yet, another bit of historical information. This series on " Hobo life style " is, both entertaining & informative :-) I was surprised to learn that many " Hobos ", were itinerant workmen who traveled from place, to place, during the great depression, looking for work, and not merely men who didn't want to bother working .
-
Hobos had to be creative with very little if they were going to survive, your excellent video demonstrates the correct mindset for such innovation. I always learn something from your videos, thank you.

I made a small wood gassifier stove out of two different size soup cans, works great. I have used it a lot and it is a part of my camping gear. I love it because it uses a minimal amount of fuel, puts out a lot of heat, and has a very low smoke, or ash signature.

As kids In the 50's, both my wife and I were fascinated with the hobo stick and kercheif over the shoulder. ( Bindle/ Blanket Stick)

We use to build these in the boy scouts back in the 60's, but like you found out, you need that air flow in the back of the can to. We always "churched" the bottom rim of the can for oxygen to feed the fire. Knowing you, an how innovative you are, I thought you were going to teach an old dog some new trick, some things never change I guess. Thx for the vid
