The Tin Can Survival Cook Stove

March8


I’ve seen these stoves go for upwards of $25 online. Being someone that prefers not to shill out cash for a piece if tin, I decided to post a how-to on making one of these stoves. As such, I’m not selling anything, I haven’t infringed on any copyrights so this info is completely free to use. Enjoy.

    I have a search and rescue field training exercise next weekend and I think I might use this. I can never work those kerosene burners. Only problem is heat source. I wonder if a candle will be hot enough. Hmm. I’ll try it out! Thanks!

    you should drop the top of the can you cut off to the bottem of the “stove” so the the coals and embers are contained

    This is great! When in the wilderness, you don’t want a big fire to make the basic of needs for cooking. Thanks for sharing this info!

    If it’s got four legs, it would be a quadpod not a tripod, tri=three.

    At the beginning of the vid you hold the knife by the blade in your hand for no apparent reason. Be careful and show respect for sharp tools.

    I like your choice of music for the intro and ending. Fight Club Soundtrack am I right?

    why bother with making the “tri pod” seems like a pointless waste of time there. Don’t want to be cruel here, but that tin doesn’t look all that stable for holding up a container of water. Which is 75% of what you’re going to be doing in a survival situation. Boiling water to purify it

    you have to cut the lid off so you can put the fuel into the can to burn

    He meant that he was replicating a 25 dollar cook stove.

    At 9:27 he said “The $25 cook stove for only $1.99″

    wot was the point in cutting the lid off if you put it straight back on at the end, oh yes of corse i shud hav thought, it makes it unstable so when your boiling a pot of water, thers a bigger chance it will fall on you!!!!!!!!!!!
