    This is a great idea for the little aluminum dollar store flashlights that break easily. I use an old one for just such a purpose.

    More WayPoint Innovation! Thge outside of either cyliner can also be wrapped with cordage and/ot duct tape. Practical & economical. May God continue to bless you!

    Thanks for the idea, I was wondering if you could add the two tubs together and make that two cell into a four cell and change the lightbulb. I believe you can do it !!

    That was cool. I'm not one who tinkers with electronics, but if you could turn those flashlight heads into little lamps by creating a battery box and switch or use the one on the tubes, that would be really awesome. Those 27 lumen units would be good for lighting up the inside of a tent or small cabin. As a rule, I consider around 75 lumens good to light up a bedroom and anything less is just enough to make one's way to the bathroom or to put a key in a lock, but not enough for walking outside. Anyway, a totally awesome project. That was very clever and creative. You're like Q in the Bond films, but you build low budget gadgets.

    Not a bad hack on that knife. Think I'd wrap some cordage around the handle jjust in case you need it. Also stuff some inside of the handle. As far as carrying the other one, wrap some cordage around the bottom, to make a carrying loop.. Maybe wrap cordage around the entire lenght of this one too.

      Still a good deal for a lightweight tube that size.
      Thanks for the idea.

    I've been trying to think of a way to use the cheaper lights to do about the same thing but I would have to block off one end, that would make easier for something to get stuck in there. Thanks for sharing.

  • @PREPFORIT

  • @juliandorrell5714
    @juliandorrell5714 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    With the knife having duel sided threads; why not join the two tubes together so the blade is in one side and your mini kit, fishing, fire, trapping, whatever is in the other end below the blade. Now you have a baton also for fending off wild animals.

    Great ideas James. To buy an aluminum tube of that size is definitely going to cost more than the $13 ish bucks it takes to make it.

    • @WayPointSurvival

      Yes, you could do that but you would have to grind off one end of the rear cap so they would fit together.

    Always enjoy the DIYS from you james. I also love to look for ideas to make things too x2 This kind of reminds me of that other older knife kit that you've showed before.. This is good to remember when you have or find them. I guess you put them all together and create something cool too. I do know of few more things with stuff like this. All the best from CR.

  • @gordontyree9858

    Hey...love your channel! Great idea about the waterproof cache. I just want to add there is a flashlight made by LIFEGEAR, that has a water resistant storage compartment in the handle. The handle twists off from the battery/light section so you can put quite a bit of gear in it. Mine holds a small whistle, button compass, small SAK, one liter whirl pak bag, 4 mp-1 purification tablets, small FAK, 10’ of cordage, one square foot of HD aluminum foil, and four UCO matches with striker. I also found room for a Derma S.E.R.E folding saw! The flashlight uses 3 AAA batteries, which are easy to find. The light is LED and has other functions too...constant LED, constant colored light (I think green, red, yellow, orange) and then strobe! I think the light is good for 200 hours of usage. Wal mart has them for under 7.00. Just another option to look at, but your project is a good one!! No dis intended, just FYI! Thanks and good job!

    @lesliemiller6319 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    that is a good idea, but, you can buy a canister that will do the same thing (all ready made) for about as much as you paid for two flashlights, Iwas able to find one on Amazon for ten dollars. You can get a hidaway knife of similar constructionfor about 15 dollars, but in my experience they are NOT durable. It would be better to get a cheap fixed blade knife (with a full tang if you can) and a canister. I found a full tang knife w/sheath on Amazon, for 8 dollars. This would be a better alternative, as it would not require any work or modification, and the knife would be stronger. Great video though.

  • @timbaka1480
    @timbaka1480 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love the "cache tube", but love the knife even more . . . I see an additional loadout in that hack - looks like plenty of room on either side of the knife blade (as long as it isn't filled up enough to keep it from rotating) for a ferro rod, some tinder tabs, and some fatwood sticks! Depending on the flashlight handle bore, maybe a bit of scrap pvc tubing that will fit inside, around the blade to capture the tinder options?

    • @WayPointSurvival
