That coffee pot! It has an actual percolator! I couldn’t stop smiling watching you get it ready for the stove. Thank you James for all of your creative and informative videos. ❤
I used an old pair of pants years ago and sewed the bottom of the leg closed then cut right up the crotch, since I only needed on of the legs, and stitched up that cut. I left the top open and ran a rope through the full length of it and hung it behind the old bench seat of my truck. I used it for a makeshift rifle/shotgun scabbard for many years.
Outstanding!🎉 I am in the process of setting up a haversack for future EDC in the Caribbean. And the three main reasons are that 1) I heard a prophecy some two years ago that backpacks would be forbidden due to terrorism. 2) It will be inappropriate to go into stores with bigger bags because of increased shoplifting. 3) I do not own a vehicle and it's a hassle to take off and put on a backpack when taking public transportation, walking into stores, etc. And this haversack EDC has to have enough items for an emergency like floods, landslides, civil unrest, power outages... I would add a small, 1-1/2 or 2" tin of udder balm. I use a brand which has tea tree oil as an active ingredient: GERMA. It kills fungus and bacteria. I lived homeless camping out of tents and a minivan with my dogs for several years. And I can honestly say you are ahead of the outdoorsmen bunch. Homelessness is rough.
That little coffee pot. Lol. It reminds me of playing tea party with my daughter when she was little. Thanks for the video. I like the baking rack idea for the esbit.
I thought you would enjoy this: No matter what video you make, to my little granddaughters, you are known as “the Hobo”. After church on Sundays ( we attend a Wesleyan Church ) I’ll take them to an antique store or flea market to look for “hobo camping stuff” and last Sunday, on the way, Ava ask me if there were any Wesleyan Hobo’s. I assured her there is.
I’m not a coffee drinker but that is a very cool setup for it. The little grill for the esbit is an awesome idea. Thank you for sharing this information James.
looked them up on google, i just searched vintage child's percolator pot, and vintage collapsible cup with handle respectively, and then looked through images
OH HECK YEAH JAMES The ultimate survival kit. I Love it. That is amazing. WOW what we can make with an old pair of trousers. FATHER GOD BLESS You Brother James IN THE NAME OF YESHUA AMEN AND AMEN ❤😊
You'll probably want to add a few imodium ad tablets to your FAK. They don't take any extra room, and IMO they are a very necessary item. I don't go anywhere without some if I have a FAK with me. I had a bad experience way out in the bush by myself and nobody expected for several days. I missed a couple of days hunting and had trouble driving myself back home because I was so weak. A friend had a similar episode a couple of years later and he was lucky in that I had some meds in my kit. The runs can debilitate you more than you would think. Also, my esbit stoves have detents on the sides that allow closing the sides up to a degree to allow for a smaller vessel. Still works fine. Good to hear of somebody else that feeds their esbit stove sticks when needed ❤ Thanks for the video Take care
I couldn't agree more. I live in a caravan and I bought some Loperamide (the South African version) and blow me down if I didn't have a dose a few days afterwards. So I used 3 of the six-pack and put it in my base camp kit and bought a new pack for my survival kit.
Love the idea of cutting a little grill for the esbit. I found that it's the best stove for me as well when in the woods and always use it as a twig stove. The little grill will help tremendously.
Of all the things you've shown IN the bag James, for me, the BAG itself is the most impressive! Wow, a lot of work making that. The leather side belts, folded and sewn,....that's tough to do. I've struggled on less. Glad the sal army store helped out. As an aside...this again reinforces how much people need each other. In the event of some emergency, helping others and sometimes BEING helped by resourceful people is key. Thanks for your work.
What an awesome kit - ingenious idea to cut off a leg of old pants and sew it into a haversack. I love your double-D-ring-closure, had something similar on a military bag - silent and secure and adjustable, don't like button snaps or velcro. Always found it hard to feed the strap through the second D-ring, so I cut off the corners and stabilised the strap end with some superglue to keep it from fraying. Your stool takes an old design to a new level, it packs so small, you could even fit it in a large cargo pocket. In the early 60s we took the predecessor on our camping trips, it just folded flat and was from iron tubing. Your coffee storage is amazing - reminds me, I have one or two of these Kodak film drums laying around somewhere, filled with matches and sealed with electrical tape. Have to search for them and see, if they are still usable. Hated it, when they switched to plastic containers, no way to waterproof them. Cheers from Germany
Love that coffee pot! I use instant coffee every day so usually have that in my kit for weight and space saving. But if I found one of those I'd be packing it! Great vid! Great kit!
Idk if you have one near you, but, at big lots, they have mini percolators. They say there for espresso, but, it works for coffee also, i bought myself one years ago. ❤
@@WayPointSurvival I ran right over to see how Blackie Thomas kicked this off. I would vastly prefer to be out with YOUR haversack. Blackie didn't provide for hydration and only mentioned food as an afterthought. PLUS he didn't have a coffee pot.😋
I really enjoy your gear philosophy. With proper knowhow and a little digging around, just about everything you might need to enjoy a wilderness adventure can be found for next to nothing! Great stuff.
Great kit! Love the mini grill for the Esbit stove. The mini percolator is something I must have.... Couple packs of sugar and I'm good for an overnighter!😂
Something you might be interested in . A 1930's sterno folding stove . It looks like a stamped version of the old school gas burners . They are big enough , so you can either use a can of sterno ......or a 2.5 in pillar candel to cook with . They fold up flat . I have one in my storm kit , in case we lose power . A candel actually works pretty well .
Hello 👋 James, thank you for sharing this informative video. I like what you did with the haversack. You're prepared for just about any emergency. Stay safe out there. 😊
Well that’s a great kit I should make a video of what I carry when I am roaming in the woods. I am a bit more basic. Can do a nice weekend with my tarp,wool blanket and my basics!
I liked this episode, more importantly I liked how so much could fit in to one little bag including the small bags lol it make for a perfect little bug out kit or even a broken down on the side of the Rd in the middle of nowhere bag whilst waiting for help
i was homeless for a while and learned an indespensable hot hands trick , you carry that nice little metal cup with you at all tiimes of couse or your small solo person cook kit tin crack that hot hands and put it into the pot or cup and plate (works really well if you have some sort of shelter i.e tarp shelter or tent, it creates a small makeshift radiant heater.
James....I told Blackie that you would not let me down!!!! OMG...that is the cutest little percolator I have ever seen!!! I love how you used the pockets to hold your items. Well done James! Take care....Robin
Freak'in Love that perk !!!.......... My kit rides in my ozark trail cup with a french press system , but there is nothing better than perk or cowboy coffee on a cool or damp morning !!!
I like the little coffee kit and the use of the pockets to make bags. The pockets could also be used as mitts to pour the coffee and not burn yourself.
Pretty good kit. I never see anyone take their kit and put it to the test. I would get three guys like you to display their kit in a video. Than without telling them challenge them with the cloths on their back, no credit cards, $10, no phone or use of one for the duration. The challenge is get home from 500 miles away You get dropped off in a rural location and can't communicate with anyone until you get home. You get dropped off and go in three different directions. You can ride train, stowaway etc no one can have contact with you while you are travelling. Just as an experiment and an experience. Good luck.
You come up with some amazing vintage stuff but OMG that percolator!!!! SELL IT TO ME NOW!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 The coffee geek in me lost his freaking mind! So many things no longer made that are still simply perfect! Why did they ever go away? Great job on the grate for the esbit stove too. Thanks for showing it! Now I'm off to go find something I never knew existed. (Edit). Forgot to mention the ingeniousness of reusing the pants leg into a haversack!!! And pockets into pouches!!! That is some next-level frugal, and I very much like frugal.
Wow. Well thought out. I love how you have upcycled items you find at thrift store and garage sales. A man of my own heart. T.P.is a must. Consider a video on thrift store/garage sale bunting. I'm sure others aren't as visionary as you or I.
Could only thumbs up once, but I’m double thumbs upping this one. 👍👍 I totally remember those little Bayer aspirin containers and the band aid tin, but seeing that percolator, that blew my mind! I think you outdid yourself on this kit. Now I want to make a haversack out of repurposed clothing that I have around. Great video, sir, great video!
The one thing I learned is that haversack. I might make one. I have a fanny pack I take in case I get separated from my pack with a headlamp, extra compass, map, emergency blanket, steel cup, water purifier tabs, Ferro rod, matches, tinder box, small knife ( even though there's ALWAYS one on my belt), budget rain ponchos, mini flashlight, signal mirror, Paracord, and a spork
Love the little cup and coffee pot and the haversack idea is great for people on a budget or like cool projects. I’ve been enjoying my Musette bag and have been finding modern counterparts in the spirit of your Hobo series. I think learning these different load outs teaches one how to utilize what’s at hand for tough times.
Great video as always! I love how you make your own gear. These days things are so expensive but you provide a less expensive way of repurposing things. Thanks again!
🇺🇸🙋♀️🐴🍃 Really great pack items! Everyone loves that lil percolator! 😂 It's adorable! I have a mini one cup french press and mini coffee grinder from Amzn, but be careful which one you pick.
Hi. I want to thank you for sharing the back packers sore legs remedy. I have lived with sciatica for 40 years. Waking up with leg cramps, numbness, restless leg syndrome, and many other problems. So I put a bar of soap in an old sock, and put it by my feet when I went to bed. About an hour later I noticed my legs weren't shaking, or hurting . In the morning I could walk without pain. My legs go numbness when I stand for more than 10 minutes still. But the muscles around my static nerve in my thighs were relaxed, and not hard like rocks. I did sleep much better.I was so happy I told my doctor, and he has had restless leg, and leg cramps for years as well. He said he was going to try it. I can't wait to find out what happened. As a side note, bracing under the hips, if you're a side sleeper, also help keep your back aligned while you sleep. Thanks again. Keep those videos coming, we are watching and learning 😀.
Absolutely LOVE when other youtubers collaborate with similar channels to create these chain vids. Always leads me to great ideas and great channels that I have not heard of before. The last one I followed like this was the Gauntlet for the Gerber strong arm.
Proof that older gear doesn't necessarily mean heavy or larger gear. That percolator and cup is very clever and just perfect for a single person! For further space savings, you might be able to get away with putting grounds into the cup itself when closed, but then you'd have to do something with them when you wanted to use the cup. I've got a vintage aluminum BSA esbit stove, but it no longer stays in the smaller configuration for a cup safely. I might start using it again using your idea of a cut up cooling rack. Thanks for the video ideas!
I have the same silky saw, I made a small knife from an old 12 inch diameter metal cutting blade that fits and folds away when you take the saw bade out. I cut noches in the top that match the saw so it can lock in place when open. Nice coffee pot and cup. 👍
That miniature percolator & folding cup! ❤😍😍😍❤ The cup reminded me of the little folding cups (plastic) from the 70's and I was just wondering what happened to those when you flipped the handle up. The plastic ones never had that! I don't actually need either of these but now I really want them, LOL. Thanks for another great video, James! (Now, to eBay! LOL)
I have recently started to work on my Finnish Gas Mask Bag again... It's been sitting dormant for quite sometime holding some of my extra Stanley cook pots. Added a waxed canvas log carrier to the back of it and a folding Canvas foraging bag a couple weeks back.

OMG that coffee pot what is the estimated date of it? I have never seen anything that small.
It dates to probably as early as somewhere in the 1930s.
GREAT VIDEO!!!!
@@clarencesmith2305 I did a google search for 2 cup percolator there are several. Some antiques some new.
@@WayPointSurvival I would like to take your class but my age and health condition I'm unable to do it. Keep up the good work.
That coffee setup won the internet today!
I ever knew you could get that small of a pot.
Thanks so much!
Definitely I thought that thing was freaking awesome a little mini coffee maker like that how cool
That Percolator is so very cool
Any direction as to purchasing one @WayPointSurvival ??
Amen to that ❤❤❤
Who's the cutest lil percolator? Yes you are! Yes you are!
Thanks for watching.
Ok, I’m big enough to admit it - I’m all kinds of jealous of that tiny percolator! 😂
Me, too.
It is pretty cool!
Been making my coffee with one just a bit bigger an probably a lot older All my life
Where can I get one
@@charlesenloe19.. He said Ebay on another post.
Somewhere, there's a young lady who's going to be really disappointed when she discovers her tea party kit is missing. 🤣 Way cool kit!
😆
Lol, James raided her dollhouse for his kit 😊
Actually, you can find them on eBay if you look for a vintage one cup coffee percolator.
Great video! You make me want to put a haversack of my own together!
@@jamespaul2587 Yeah, can hear it now. Daddy, I can't find my little coffee pot.
That coffee pot! It has an actual percolator! I couldn’t stop smiling watching you get it ready for the stove. Thank you James for all of your creative and informative videos. ❤

I was really taken by that tiny percolator as well. I'm going to be searching the internet for one now.

I have same size Frens Press pot, 2 cups.
Reminds me of the Expendables when he has a small coffee maker and says sorry only makes one cup.

Turkse coffee pot.
I have one my self

a few imodium ad tablets to

extra room, and IMO they are
a very necessary item. I don't
go anywhere without some if

Could only thumbs up once, but I’m double thumbs upping this one. 👍👍 I totally remember those little Bayer aspirin containers and the band aid tin, but seeing that percolator, that blew my mind! I think you outdid yourself on this kit. Now I want to make a haversack out of repurposed clothing that I have around. Great video, sir, great video!
Thanks so much!
Right off the bat, I saw you used a small Pathfinder grill with an old military fold out stove. I have both but never thought to do this! Genius!😅😊
Well, first of all, it is not a Pathfinder Grill. It is one that I made from a drying rack as I mentioned in the video. Thanks for watching.
The one thing I learned is that haversack. I might make one. I have a fanny pack I take in case I get separated from my pack with a headlamp, extra compass, map, emergency blanket, steel cup, water purifier tabs, Ferro rod, matches, tinder box, small knife ( even though there's ALWAYS one on my belt), budget rain ponchos, mini flashlight, signal mirror, Paracord, and a spork
Sounds like a great little kit!
Absolutely brilliant! 💯on the mini perk and collapsible cup!
Thanks!
I love the little coffee percolator and the collapsible cup
Thanks so much!
Love that little coffee pot!
Absolutely! I was pretty stoked to find it!
Love the little cup and coffee pot and the haversack idea is great for people on a budget or like cool projects. I’ve been enjoying my Musette bag and have been finding modern counterparts in the spirit of your Hobo series. I think learning these different load outs teaches one how to utilize what’s at hand for tough times.
Absolutely! Thanks for watching!
Great video as always! I love how you make your own gear. These days things are so expensive but you provide a less expensive way of repurposing things. Thanks again!
You're very welcome!
I cant stop thinking about that tiny coffee percolator, too cool.
Thanks!
🇺🇸🙋♀️🐴🍃 Really great pack items! Everyone loves that lil percolator! 😂 It's adorable! I have a mini one cup french press and mini coffee grinder from Amzn, but be careful which one you pick.
Thanks so much!
Omgosh, the percolator😆
Priceless.
I just boil my water, add coffee grounds and stir the ground to the bottom.
This guy has way more class than me
Cowboy coffee!
That was really informative and interesting, I've never seen a coffee pot so small without being a toy .
Glad you liked it!
Hi. I want to thank you for sharing the back packers sore legs remedy. I have lived with sciatica for 40 years. Waking up with leg cramps, numbness, restless leg syndrome, and many other problems. So I put a bar of soap in an old sock, and put it by my feet when I went to bed. About an hour later I noticed my legs weren't shaking, or hurting . In the morning I could walk without pain. My legs go numbness when I stand for more than 10 minutes still. But the muscles around my static nerve in my thighs were relaxed, and not hard like rocks. I did sleep much better.I was so happy I told my doctor, and he has had restless leg, and leg cramps for years as well. He said he was going to try it. I can't wait to find out what happened. As a side note, bracing under the hips, if you're a side sleeper, also help keep your back aligned while you sleep. Thanks again. Keep those videos coming, we are watching and learning 😀.
You're very welcome and I'm so glad that the soap trick worked for you!
This was a really good video. Great kit even for those times you just want to go sit somewhere and make a little coffee.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely LOVE when other youtubers collaborate with similar channels to create these chain vids. Always leads me to great ideas and great channels that I have not heard of before. The last one I followed like this was the Gauntlet for the Gerber strong arm.
Excellent!
Proof that older gear doesn't necessarily mean heavy or larger gear. That percolator and cup is very clever and just perfect for a single person! For further space savings, you might be able to get away with putting grounds into the cup itself when closed, but then you'd have to do something with them when you wanted to use the cup. I've got a vintage aluminum BSA esbit stove, but it no longer stays in the smaller configuration for a cup safely. I might start using it again using your idea of a cut up cooling rack. Thanks for the video ideas!
I have the same silky saw, I made a small knife from an old 12 inch diameter metal cutting blade that fits and folds away when you take the saw bade out. I cut noches in the top that match the saw so it can lock in place when open. Nice coffee pot and cup. 👍
Excellent!
That miniature percolator & folding cup! ❤😍😍😍❤
The cup reminded me of the little folding cups (plastic) from the 70's and I was just wondering what happened to those when you flipped the handle up. The plastic ones never had that! I don't actually need either of these but now I really want them, LOL.
Thanks for another great video, James! (Now, to eBay! LOL)
Loved the leather pocket pouches and adorable coffee kit, it was epic! Thanks!!
You are so welcome!
That is cool I have never seen a small percolator that works, and I like the little folding cup
Thanks!
Wow that collapsible cup is great 👍 so is the coffee pot. I'm definitely gonna try and find one like that.
Great video 😊
Thanks!
I have recently started to work on my Finnish Gas Mask Bag again... It's been sitting dormant for quite sometime holding some of my extra Stanley cook pots. Added a waxed canvas log carrier to the back of it and a folding Canvas foraging bag a couple weeks back.
Excellent!
What a great kit! I wish someone would reproduce that like coffee pot. Thanks for the video.
You're welcome!
