HOBO ALUMINUM CAN COOKER [ AMAZING! ]
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 มิ.ย. 2022
- The Hobo Aluminum Can Cooker is a real hobo trick that is easy to make and use. In an emergency, discarded cans may be found in almost any urban or rural location as unfortunately many people throw them out the window of their cars and this litter becomes the source of our cookware. It's also environmentally conscious and helps to clean up and green up the local area by re-purposing something that would ordinarily just be trashed.

This is a great survival idea to have in your mental tool kit should it be needed. Of course, we always want to have proper cookware with us. However, this will do in a pinch and works quite well. Thanks for watching and please leave me a comment in the section below!
A very nice hack to keep in the back of my mind. Soft drink cans are everywhere.
More brilliance .
Truly epic improvisation once again .
Superb video sir.
Kind regards from England.
I really enjoy your instructional videos, they are so practical and are made of easily scrounged items. Thanks for all you do!
👍👍👍 .. neat.
Another example of the power of lateral thinking 😊.
Variations include Poaching and Boiling of Eggs .. and more ..
Thanks for sharing .. take care ..
@@markcox1457 Right 👍.
All of my home-grown Alcohol Stoves and Windscreens have been made from cans 'salvaged' during walking the dog alongside the river, from soft and energy drink cans .. 200 - 450ml .. especially after a weekend. Salvaged, as I don't drink the rubbish inside them.
I loved that you took a moment of silence for . . . . . . reflection? prayer? gratitude? A reminder that it is a blessing to have enough food to eat.
It was a prayer of thanks for the food. Thanks for watching!
Yes, I like that too. Humble man with good information.
Neat idea. I work in the factory that manufactures aluminum cans. That liner starts out as a liquid we spray at high pressure inside of can as it spins. Then gets cured in an oven of 400 degrees. Pretty much harmless once it cures. The ink and varnish on outside pretty much harmless once it cured as well. Neat idea 💡
Thanks so much for the information, I really appreciate it!
What type of plastic is the liner actually made of? Just curious.
I’ve been using a beer can pot out of a lined can countless times.
If your into alcohol stoves a what not. A guy named tinny had a channel here called minibull design.
And was making fosters can an Heineken can cook pots. A machined a n aluminum band to go around the top to strengthen it once the top was removed for a lid.
And had the body wrapped with like a long fiberglass string. Kept a really decent rigidity to it. An the aluminum ring that was pressed on helped that much more.
As for as an extremely light weight cooking pot. Hiking/backpacking an what not. I’m not sure if theirs anything lighter than that. Be it titanium or anything else.
But that liner hasn’t bubbled or anything of the sort. Only thing best to not do is have it on the flame without a liquid in it. With the liquid in there to absorb the heat. It isn’t going to get smoking hot. As it would if it were empty.
But definitely curious of what it’s made of just in general or type of plastic. Or is it some type of epoxy mix that’s sprasprayed in or a full on plastic taken past its melting point and run through a high pressure high temp sprayer to have it somewhat a liquid or sorts?
@@AquaTech225 it’s an epoxy spray, already in a liquid form.not sure what ingredients are, trade secrets. It’s made by Valspar I believe.
Seu depoimento é de muita responsabilidade, pois não existem informações sobre a toxicidade dessas embalagens aquecidas.
Ya right. Keep telling yourself that.
Love to see TH-camrs pray before they eat. Sets a good example to be thankful for all things. Thanks
Indeed. Thanks for watching!
I'm afraid sir that these cooking ideas may become more useful & true in these times! Thank you for your time and dedication....ATB
You may be right. Thanks for watching!
With creepy Joe Biden in office yeah we had better vote in record numbers to overwhelm all the fraud they have planned or we are going to lose our country quick
We need a video on distillating sugar into a high proof alcohol that cars can run on. Or flower pot heaters that run on other fuel than tea lights like heated stones
This is an excellent technique. Thank you so much!
Jim Bridger used a lidded pot as a radiator that he added heated stones to from his fire to heat a space. Cobbles...bricks...Just keep it radiating from a noncombustible surface --something made of stone or concrete to avoid overheating a combustible flooring.
One of the great things about your videos is they make you think outside the box, when the chips are down you need to use such ingenuity to get by...👍
Thanks! I agree, ingenuity is one of the keys to survival.
Love it! That takes me back. Years ago, after a very short hike from logging road to mountain lake, one of us caught a nice little pan fish. We didn’t have any gear, but one person spotted a beer can. We cooked our fish! This is great fun. Cans are everywhere and they’re free. Make cookers, candle lanterns, hobo stoves, etc. if your first efforts aren't perfect, it costs nothing but a little time to experiment and try a few more designs. 👍 I didn’t grow up rich. These techniques are great to know.😀
Indeed. Thanks for watching!
There are a dozen ways to cook a fish. You can cook them on sticks. Squirrels too
@@jamesbowen5573 rocks too
You're never to old to learn something new
Thank you for showing us new ways to survive
You're welcome!
Great use for the aluminum cans. If you nest the horizontal egg cooker into another can that has three or four ounces of water in it, you will eliminate the burning and sticking of the egg.
Good idea!
At 6:26 - I love that.
Thanks!
I'm really enjoying your channel. I was taught this trick many years ago by an old biker who was camping next to us at a rally. He taught me to use a stick with a larger "Y" and instead of sticking the single end through the can you place the can between the "Y" and wrap the flaps around the "Y". Now you have full access to the open cooking area without a stick in the way.
Good idea!
I am always amazed with the contraptions that you guys come up with. Nothing beats it!
Good Stuff!!!
Thanks for watching!
Of course in the Depression Era of hoboing there was no plastic or synthetic lining in anything. When I was a kid we’d explore the “hobo jungle” adjacent to our city park. It was actually called Stiver’s Lagoon and the trains tore through too quickly but that is what locals called it and to a kid with a big imagination every burn scar we found back in there was obviously last nights fire from some guys who jumped the 6am Southern Pacific, all coffee’d up to make the perilous journey through the Coastal Mountain Range and reach Salinas or Watsonville by nightfall in time for their artichoke or strawberry picking job the next day. (deep sigh) In reality it was probably high school kids who dusted a case of Coors the previous weekend hiding from the cops.
Interesting. Thanks for watching!
I cook/heat food in my can pretty often. Have for the longest time. Best ultralight pot you can get.
That’s to ole minibull design. Wish he was still making beer can pots. Definitely would get a few more.
I have been watching your hobo series for who knows how long...This is genius. I think a sweet potato or potato would bake just fine in this. To avoid eating any plastic residue, don't eat the skin. What a great replacement for aluminum foil in order to keep the root veg out of the gritty coals!
Thanks for watching and I'm glad you liked it!
❤ that's a super awesome in a pinch kind of thing that you could even make out of a soup can be a little harder to bend it open but you wouldn't have to worry about the plastic liner that won't hurt you when you're stuck out for a night or two thanks for sharing your show is awesome I've been being a hobo for various reasons for 35 years and I love it when people celebrate different ways of having hot meals without worrying about too much of anything other than getting something hot to eat and thank you for sharing❤
Thanks so much!
I love that you offer THANKS, before you eat.
Thanks, my faith is very important to me.
Hi , James , all the hobo hacks that you come out with are all useful ideas in case of an emergency , stuck somewhere where as hopefully one is lucky enough to find a can or something to use . Anyway, James, all of your hobo hacks are wonderful ideas . Thank you for sharing 👍😎✌️🙏🏻😇👌
I used to cut cans exactly the same when I was wrangling horses, guiding dudes, and camped out every night 50 years ago. But I'd stand them on end and put a candle inside. The drink hole vented, the shiny insides reflected the light better. I could lay there and read, and eat sunflower seeds all night. Lots cheaper than flashlight batteries. Wax glue the candle to the bottom and with a little wire make a bale and carry that around if need be, like a bullseye lantern. Hang it on a branch (using common sense and fire awareness, of course. Shouldn't even have to say that, but these days...). Bright enough to read means bright enough to attract bugs. Especially those great big scarab beetles that you can hear crashing into trees from fifty yards out as they flew to the flame. Once they got into the light they went manic, and I'd plug em with a .22 and get back to my book.
I'll remember that egg trick, but I think I'll look for Foster's cans. Get more eggs in there, with omelette mixins, too. Thanks for the tip. Ask me some day about heating water in a Bugler can with a twist of TP.
Thanks for watching the video and I would definitely be interested in your hack!
Simple, interesting, and you caught me by surprise; I was sure you were going to turn it into a solar cooker.
Thanks for watching, glad you found it interesting.
I thought the same...solar cooker.
What modifications are needed ?
@@donnabartley2246 Pretty much the same, except pointing the opening at the sun on a clear day. Clean off any oils, salt, etc. that are on the silver surface. I would guess that lining it with aluminum foil (shiny side out) would work even better. It would mainly work on food you could put on a spit though, like franks or kabob. And it would probably take a while, preferably through early afternoon. It might help to cover the outer opening with clear wrap to trap the heat.
My favorite is the paint can wood gas stove. My second favorite is the hobo water heater. Even the simple food can wood stoves are great.
Love the old knife. I have a couple of small ones that are from the 50’s and 70’s
While some may cringe at the sight of the knife edge being dulled by the can. James once again proved that the sharpest tool on him is not the blade but his mind. It can only be dulled if we don't use it. Well done sir!
Thanks so much!
Urban Outdoor, Hello! Ur words r postcard worthy! Many videos I have watched where people complain on how a TH-camr uses their knife. A knife can be be brought back to a sharp edge, but the mind, well, many will remain dull due to the conditioning over the years. Can u imagine how many will perish if shit were to hit the fan. I have watched many videos, many talked about zombies, one day, I realized that zombies will not be the gross bitters with missing parts, but normal every day people WHO do not know how to hunt, fish forage for food, they will be the zombies, because n their dull minds, meat is meat, people r meat. It is people like James, u and me that will remain normal, sharpening our brains on how to survive/thrive as how it was done n the old days. Yep, I apparently rambled, but u see, I am looking at the price of everything today, man oh man, what will it be tomorrow, next month, year. It’s good many want to grow a garden, raise livestock, learn to fish hunt and forage, learning sharpens the brain. This video has tough me to add a cook set to my EDC n my truck, it was nice talking to u, have a wonderful day!
Interesting setup. I've never cooked in aluminum cans before. I have cut them in half and melted lead weights down and used them as lead molds. Then from there made a few mini balls for my muzzleloader. The cans got hot but never melted through and the lead popped right out of them.
Interesting. Thanks for watching!
So many good ideas here, learning to make due with what one can find on hand. Priceless information!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another great video!
Inspiring to both the grandsons
Came by the house with 4 railroad spikes we have a stove, stuck them in the ground built a fire in them and boiled some water “ see pap a stove” lol.
Great! Thanks for watching!
The more you know the better life is. Thank you. All the best to you.
Thanks!
Hello from Detroit Michigan brother thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise and for taking us on your adventure
Thanks for watching!
This is a very good idea for an emergency and seems to work quite well. However, the plastic inside the can will liberate fumes that are toxic even in very small amounts, and you don't need to scrape it to be exposed to those toxic substances. So I really would advise you to use a can like that only as a last resource.
Agreed. Thanks for watching.
Love that you bless your food with prayer.
Thanks!
Great idea, complete w all necessary details. Thanks, James. Shared. 💖
Awesome, thank you!
Love the way you can improvise nearly anything to recycle it's use.
You know what they say: Where there is a will, I want to be in it.
Thanks!
Great tip! My mom always to cook our food with saved bacon grease. She kept it in the frig in a jar. When refrigerated keeps a long time. So if you're cooking some bacon you could use a little leftover grease that has been saved . . . or if you have a slice of bacon you could cook both and the egg wouldn't stick so much. Or if you have a little bit of oil, I keep some in a small bottle when I'm camping or hiking and plan to cook. Doesn't take much oil or grease.
Good idea! Thanks for watching.
True. Pork Fat and / or Coconut Oil 'store well' unrefrigerated. I keep a little jar thereof with my cook kit.
@@thomasmusso1147 coconut oil you can keep unrefridgerated? indefinitely?
There is no better food than the vegetables cooked with bacon grease. Especially green beans we used Crisco back in the day. And we would always filter in pour grease back into the can after we used it unless we cook something like fish. And the empty cans we would save bacon grease in. You just have to remember to put a lid on it when it cools down to keep bugs out. Flies gnats or whatever. It's also good for making gravy it's hard to save vegetable oil for very long.
@@thomasmusso1147 I used to try to keep coconut oil but my wife used to steal it because she would put it in her hair. She died but I never have started using it again mainly I use olive oil. Hey it was good enough for Jesus
thank, you for you're video. Random vanners east coast VA. 2%
thank, you
Very nice video James. There's almost always some discarded aluminum cans in your travels so this would work amazingly!!
True. Thanks for watching!
really loving the design of your knife with the wooden grip having two red stripes going around it and the brass "crossguard" or whatever its called being very subtle. hope it returns in future videos
Thanks. It's an old boy scout Western knife.
Hey Waypoint, good ideas on reusing discarded litter, one more thing to add. Dispose of your hobo stuff in the trash when done, we don't need to create more litter.
Actually, I would prefer to recycle the aluminum. Thanks for watching!
Another great video from one of my favorite channels.
Keep up the good work, my friend!
😀
Thanks so much!
Thanks ! God bless the world needs more of you! 🤗🤗
Thanks for watching and God bless you too!
loved this video, its great fun seeing you use such every day stuff in such a cool and imaginative way, all power to the humble tin can!
Amazing! I’ll try to do that in my next camping.
Right on time for us to watch as a family. Interesting & a very creative tool.
Thanks so much!
I made and used the pizza box solar oven when I was homeless. Pizza box, plastic cling film and foil. I used it a lot for frozen mac and cheese and dollar frozen "meals".
I can see this working on a smaller scale. The box oven would heat up dishes to where you could not touch the container without a makeshift potholder.
Excellent. Thanks for watching and for the ideas.
Cool survival tips. Thanks for sharing James.
Thanks for watching!
I like these classes, thank you.
God bless you and your family.

Thank you James! Great video!
Thanks for watching!
Good tip James , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Thanks for watching, my friend. God-bless you too!
On long backpacking section AT, I ran out of chocolate mix 3 d out. Since I always hiked off season I loved my hot water. I took a sip, saying out loud, " this chocolate is delicious". Repeated every time. Believe it or not by the 5 the drink it tasted like chocolate to me. True story - did it every time after.
It is truly amazing how powerful the brain is. Thanks for watching.
Keep em coming James !!!
Thanks, my friend!
Your gadgets continue to impress. I would never thought of that. You better hope the hobo and the 1790s character never meet up. I'm sure the hobo will get scalped for getting all the good gadgets LOL. Thanks for the video!

You sir, are a genius.. thank you for your content.
Haa ha haa what a great idea. Thanks a lot for the tip with the plastic coating.
Thank you so much, my friend! There are videos on TH-cam that show how to dissolve aluminum cans using drain cleaner which leaves the plastic interior coating intact and visible.
Hi James. Thank you for another great idea. Stay safe. ATB. Nigel
Thanks, my friend!
Way to go. This is practical infor. Keep it coming!!!
Thanks!
I would have never thought of this. Really good tip! Thanks.

Thank you so much and God-bless you too!
I am enjoying your hobo series
Thanks!
❤️ your ideas💡 easy too do no money $ Thanks, James 👍
Thanks for watching!
U have a real 'can do' outlook on life!
Lol. Thanks for watching!
I saw one video where they make a candle flashlight out of a tin can. Just remove the lid, punch a hole in the side, turn the can on its side, and insert the candle through the hole. Add a wire bail to hold it because it gets hot. For improving the design, I have some ideas that may or may not work. I thought about replacing the bail wire with a stick mounted to the bottom of the can so you can hold it like a flashlight. I also considered scrounging an old car headlight and putting a piece of the reflector in the bottom of the can to direct the beam. Thirdly, some method of mitigating the heat of the can would be nice, but dunno how.

Good idea. I've seen a guy using a tetra pak brick pacage as an emergency pan, and it works very well. You just open one side of it. I've tested it in the stove and really works !
I love the way you pray over your food
Thanks for watching!
Such ingenuity!
Thanks!
longer can (beer) can be easly used as a microgrill. You cut can in same maner, drop coal to the can, use some eires for a grill crate, and you can grill what you wana.
Good idea, thanks for watching!
Excellent Thank You

Cut # 1: "Keep the blade edge away from you".
Proceeds to do cut #2 with the blade facing him. 😂
The point is to keep the blade away from you not necessarily not pointing toward you.
@@WayPointSurvival I do enjoy the content, but I believe you were correct with the first admonition...where possible its always more prudent to cut away from yourself rather than towards...especially out in the bush.
Mostly I just got a chuckle that it happened literally right after the warning. Again, it in no way diminished my appreciation of the tip. Nor my intent to watch more of the content. Apologies if it appeared otherwise. Not my intent.
Sometimes, however, in cutting, you do have to cut with the blade towards you. It just has to be done in a controlled manner. I do know what you were saying though, and I agree.
Wow..!. you are sooooo timely with the hobo cookware videos recently...been scrounging up bushcrafting & urban camping survival ideas for the main protagonist's epic bug-out journey in a new post-apocalyptic series i am working on currently n S.America.
That's excellent! Make sure and send me a link to the video series when you get it rolling.
@@WayPointSurvival My pleasure...i hope the world doesn't come to an end before we finish the first phase for a possible sale to Netflix or their competition... hehehe... tropical greetings from Caracas Venezuela.

@@WayPointSurvival My pleasure Sir great job
Love your videos man
Thanks!
"Always be careful to keep the blade away from you." Next cut runs knife towards him! Lol
Thanks for watching.
Your Hobo videos are awsome. I can use these out stealth camping.
Great, thanks for watching!
Cooked eggs with orange peel. Also Boy Scout scrambled omelets. Same warnings with the plastic leaching into food. Boil water and drop it in.
Thanks for the vid.
