In this video I show how to make a cup out of aluminum foil that you can hang over a fire to boil water. This is an important thing to know if you're ever in a survival situation.

Long time i search how make cup whit aluninum foil. Thank you very much for this luminous tips!
That's a great idea! Thanks brother~
I really need to redo that video now that I've gotten better with my video production but thanks!
Thanks for the video. It is a excellent idea for the survival kit. Keep it up.
Your cup folding style will also work with the foil pan material.
The big advantage is that the pan foil is thicker therefore more robust than even heavy duty sheet foil.
What a clever tip ! Never seen anyone do a video like this. Jimmy Rants sent me :) I just subbed you and looking forward to your other videos !
Carol ELek Thanks for the sub! Jimmy really helped my channel a lot with that shoutout.
Cool video! Its amazing what you can do with aluminum, duct tape, and cordage!
tape?
I've just subscribed, that is one excellent idea. Thank you for the video.
A flat pack mess tin!
Nice tip! I've tried a few ways of making a bowl out of aluminuim foil. One configuration of which leaked and the original way that a lot of people do is the one layered fist bowl, which is to flimsy. This way you did it is the best way I've seen of a foil bowl.
Jason McDaniel I have another way I'll show when I get a chance to do an overnighter video. You can dig a hole and press the foil down in, take it back out and drop some coals out of the fire in and then put the foil back. That's the best method for cooking I've come up with anyway.
Thanks, for the folding cup but even more for the bail😊
Great video
Brother...i gots to try this!....might be a real video making opportunity here...and what a lot of fun to do too...
Thank you for this information
Thanks for the tip really cool video!
I love tricks like this, but I also like to do a "lab test" and a "system test" -- this one failed my first time in the lab.
I folded the cup as shown and filled it with water. After 15 minutes on my stovetop in my kitchen (hottest burner, highest setting) I still had no boiling water and had lost over half of the water through minute slow drips -- drips that did not happen when first folded.
I will attempt to repeat to make sure that I did not make any errors in the folding -- human error on my side is ALWAYS a possibility!

Here is an idea that I picked from Origami.
Start with heavy foil. Like those disposable oven liners the ones that look like a cheap cookie pan.
Take a piece 13 X 13 inches.
Clip a ½ X ½ inch square out of each corner.
Fold each edge ¼ inch twice to form a rim.
This gives a 12-inch square.
Now you need to put in the creases to form the box.
Fold in 1/4 or 3 inches of one end and crease.
Do the same for the other side.
Unfold and rotate 90 degrees.
Take the other two sides and repeat the creases.
This forms a crease pattern of a 6-inch center square
4 3-inch squares at the corners.
The sides are then 3 X 6 inches.
Now you fold the large square diagonally.
But you only need to crease the portion that crosses the corner 3 X 3 square.
For carrying you fold in the 4 sides to form a 6-inch square and the fold it in half. This gives a packet 3 X 6 inches, which happens to be approximately the size of a dollar bill. Making just right to slip into the bill compartment of a wallet.
To set up you unfold the packet. Using the diagonal creases you form triangles at each corner. These start at the base of the box and extend out 3 inches at the top. Two of these triangles are then folded along the same side. The other two are folded along the opposite side. The tops of these triangles are tucked under the folded under the rims to help hold them in place. Making the box more ridged.
This gives you a 6 X 6 inch pan 3 inches deep. The box is 108 cubic inches or almost 60 fluid ounces. Which is just 4 ounces shy of 2 quarts. Since you won’t fill it to the rim call it a quart and a half of usable space. Not bad for something that fits into a wallet.
You can also slip a couple of paperclips over the ends to make it more solid.
Yes, repeated folding and unfolding plus the wear and tear from the friction in a wallet will eventually open holes and cause leaks. And once used will accelerate the deterioration. But because of the heavier gauge of the pans they last much longer than aluminum foil. I’ve gone through a couple both carrying and testing. They have lasted for several years or a half a dozen reuses before they became iffy.
Rich Shawver Very interesting. I'll have to try that, thanks!
Very cool, I like it.
Have you actually boiled water in this? I would think the tin foil would degrade after a couple times over the fire.
Brian Schippers Yes I have. I'll show me using it in a future video. It does degrade, but that is also why I showed to double it over. Once you use it like this it will likely break apart if you unfold it.
Not everything you carry is going to last forever. Being able to boil water a few times when you have no other option may be what keeps you alive.
Yes i tried it it lasts about a week and two days so just have some tin foil handy
Thanks a lot.
Nice Prepper origami!
Prepper Potpourri Haha yeah it works pretty good :)
Great description :-)) Nice tip CP, thanks
Awesome, that really is smart.
Gabriel Perez Thanks! If somebody is ever caught in a bad enough situation to need to do this I hope it helps.
This awesome gift has the potential to help 319,000,000 Americans. I'm one of them. Thanks for posting this tip.
I heard 'ShepherdSurvives' guides are the best for it
Excellent! :)
One more time -- U go out of frame &...."got to get off this Christmas candy"
I'll run out tomorrow & U'll be bettter.
Larry Overton Sr. Yeah I had the camera pointed down so much that I couldn't see the view screen. At least I got the main part in frame otherwise I would have done the video over.
Thanks for the thumbs up I really appreciate it.
