    I rarely comment on videos like this, but can't resist on this one. This is more handyman than bushcraft, IMO. Real bushcraft relies only on materials found in the bush, not stuff you turned up rummaging around in your garage. Not putting down the creativity, just the labeling it as bushcraft.

    • @Gamble9110
      @Gamble9110 2 года назад

      The only mod I’m thinking about doing to it is cutting a recess into the base of the legs to hold a priming tray to heat the base of the stove to accelerate the vaporization of the micro stove so the dual burners reach full power faster to save fuel. Other than that… the stove you showed… absolutely perfect!!!

    Clever. I bought a triangle of canvas with pre-sewn pockets in each corner. Find 3 sticks, lash them together in a tripod and slip the pockets over each stick. Done. And extremely lightweight. But it's always good to know alternative hacks in case your first method fails, so thank you!

    Now that's a new type of camping/bushcraft chair for me. I'll have to keep that in mind as an additional option. Even though I prefer the tripod method with pre-making a seat from a heavy duty outdoors material like nylon or something and carrying it with you. Than you make the legs with sticks/branches you find out in the wild and do the tripod lashing with it.

    Looking at the cardboard tube from the empty aluminum foil packaging - much thicker cardboard than tube from the paper towles or tp.

I wanted to tell you about it cause I like how you repurpose stuff and come up with fun projects.

I did, I use my own-created paracord belts from time immemorial...

    "Way" easier! than the ones we made as kids:
    Take 4 *sticks, secure 2 each to make an X, with a bracing stick secured between them in the nest of the X.
    Measure a rectangle piece of doubled over tarp or other material, poke holes in the 4 corners and attach the "seat" to the top portions of the 4 sticks. Some of us used screws that we already screwed into the top of the sticks to place the holes of the material over.
    Well, as children we were lighter then, and even if the makeshift chair/stool required balancing our weight on it bec it was a little unsturdy, it was a better solution than sitting on the ground when it rained or snowed where we had our little tee-pee styled fort in the woods.
    To tighltly secure the sticks we used (I think it was baling) wire that we collected in the fields from bales of hay distributed for a farmer's herd of those big white and black cows.
    Nobody showed us how to do it, we just figured it out together.
    Would you construct a much better version and make a video?
    *by sticks I mean they were at least 2-3" wide, cut with a rusty old saw we all took turns sawing. One boy tapered/whittled the top of his sticks to a point to slide the material over.

    It's a great idea but I am dubious about you weighing very much. Guys like me would probably destroy the hose clamp and I'm not overly confident about the wood holding the Buckle either. But it would be perfect for you smaller fellas. I am however surprised you didn't take another piece of leather and make a smaller belt instead of a hose clamp. It would be adjustable too if you had a buck on it and it would look more bushcrafty. It would have to be a sturdy belt wide and thick. It looks like a lot of fun though
