How would you hide your can of pineapple soda pop at a meeting where everyone else is drinking coffee? You'd use the Trinken Lid, which safely and securely hides the can in an ordinary coffee cup. And no more cold hands or lukewarm drinks-the lid creates an insulating air gap! We’re giving away a Trinken Lid to THREE winners of this week’s free giveaway. To enter, simply fill out the form at gimme.scamstuff.com (giveaway ends 4/8/2021, no purchase necessary) Congrats to the winners of last week’s Butterfly Bottle Openers: Nikola Ivanov, Jenna Voutsinas, Nico Wolf, and Drew Burchette (we will contact you via email within two weeks)
When are you going to teach us how to hotwire cars
(⌐■-■)
I found a pdf you may want to read but I didn’t know where to send it. Maybe a email ?
Damn you rogues, I love pineapple soda and now I want a bottle.
*PING PONG BALL SMOKE BOMB*
If you guys manage to fail this one would be amazing to see...
Brian and Jason are like two kids playing with matches, and Cory is the cool dad who caught them, but instead of punishing them he taught them how to do it better.
Do strike anywhere matches not exist anymore? You'd think they'd have completely given up with on-box matches by now.
@@GuyNamedSean they do but the permits required for shipping and selling in a retail setting have made them too expensive to sell and still make a profit. You will now see the new blue tip or green tip matches. Different chemical formula. The old and goodie matches that will almost explode in your hand like snap pops are basically gone.
@@myrealname2022 I've seen people make their own old-fashioned "strike anywhere" matches out of balsa wood, and crushed "safety matches." Can confirm the "explode in your handedness"
@@GuyNamedSean i was wondering the same thing. Been looking for some for years, guess I might have to break down and order online sometime, if their even still available online
Improvement: Shout "Go away bad guys!" when it goes off to ensure that the bad guys go away.
This is standard instruction at jannemon state
Go Warriors!
After this we will have Grilled Cheeeeese
@@itbeat7899 It brings my cholesterol to its knees
Further improvement: Provide a box of firecrackers for the intruder to also play with
Day 2 of reminding them to do another episode on homemade pepper spray and put it in the homemade land mine.
It's on the list to shoot this month... 😁
@@cranfill nice!
@@cranfill looking forward to seeing it!
@@cranfill sweet
@@cranfill nice, cant wait!
The bit with John really got me
It was really great
yeah that really made me laugh with the voice over lol
It's like watching two lead developers of The Acme Corporation that Wile E. Coyote buys his stuff from
"Now climb inside with the lit fuse..."
That's the most perfect description of them that I've ever heard
This is too funny. Brian and Jason are siting in what can be described as "kilning for a bomb fire" and being upset they cant get matches lit.
"Kindling for a bonfire," but, yes.
@@curtishoffmann6956 i think i like the general idea of bombfire better?
Can we just give more attention to the editing here? All the sound effects with graphics, the little timeout circles that countdown and turn red. Temperature conversions that flash on screen just long enough! And oh, how I love the injury counter ;)
Modern rogue presents: The hard way to light a match
Part 2
and a new way to start forest fires lol so dangerous
Jason: "Im confident about this one, this is the one!"
*looks at the video timer: Still 12min to end of the video.
I don't think so....
Heck, just that the fact that the intro showed it exploding on the workbench...
In a shocking twist “camera man” John actually is the ultimate Modern Rogue
I wouldn't go that far, but thank you for the 'vote of confidence'!

The challenge of making this work is entertaining, but this might be the most overthought episode to date. If you're anywhere that sells fireworks, chances are that they will also be selling the pull string confetti poppers.
lmao I didn't even think of that. and the confetti poppers wouldn't burn down the whole forest
Or get strike anywhere matches 😂
"Surprise! You've been caught!" In a surprise party boice
@@n-11ordoskirata70 that what they use at the end of the video
i mean...at that point you could also just go with the time honored method of hanging a bunch of metal stuff (like pans and other camping gear you wont need at night) from something connected to a tripwire...and when it gets tripped...well it falls and makes a lot of noise XD
Ok, here’s the clothespin trip wire from my old copy of the Dangerous Book for Boys that I spent too much of my youth memorizing:
Take a clothes pin and put some aluminum foil or aluminum tape on the jaws, attach one wire to each jaw and connect those to a battery and whatever you want to power (lightbulb or electric match) anchor the clothespin and use a cork with an eye bolt screwed in as your firing system. You just need an insulator between the jaws, you could just cover an eye bolt in gum if you have the time to wait for it to get hard so it doesn’t stick.
That and this episode is a reason that hangers, clothes-pins, aluminum foil and a roll or five of electrical tape are in my bugout kit.
You have "basic junk" and a bit of knowledge, you can do almost anything. As long as you know the what/why/how.
Electric tape is also really damn strong if twist/wrap it the right way (because it's so narrow), almost as good or better than duct, depending on application.
@@d34dR0d3n7 Basically the Michael Weston, “When you’re a spy...” monologues, some of them were actually really useful like making lock picks out of cheap sunglasses
@@d34dR0d3n7 a pressure plate in the same fashion with 2 pieces of cardboard.
Some of the old US Military manuals have had variations of that configuration. And all sorts of ancillary bits to make use of them.
Although the simplest might be using one to bridge a car battery to a car horn. Trip the line, and *everything* will know it.
Improvement: Tie the string on a grenade pin.
Proved by Military.
HAHAHA well shit somebody already commented it
The Modern Rogue playing with matches and fireworks inside a hut made of dry sticks/brush...
What could POSSIBLY go wrong?
nothing because they cant get matches to light even if they try.
@@Sokar12345 Well technically them failing to ignite a simple match, is something that went wrong ;P
Not gonna even answer that question
Pretty sure if a wild fire starts in that state the police goto Modern rogue first and make sure they didnt start it lol Science adjacent and Safety adjacent.
The modern rogue should make a reset counter compilation video or smt like that
I'd love to see a compilation of all the fake-out injuries and scares they constantly do to each other too

your wish is granted ruclips.net/video/KPXYuQsG13k/видео.html
So...MR matchbook when? Super reliable match striking, with versatile packaging and a cool MR graphic would be a pretty awesome addition to the store!
So are we just gonna breeze by the fact that the last firecracker literally went off right in the middle of a pile of matches, including the box?
Absolutely. Welcome to the Modern Rogue ;)
What pile of matches?
Safety -First-
-Second-
-Third-
Fourth?
That's why the board is at the edge of the table. Modern Rogue blast barrier!
I know they were complaining about the matches, but they just dropped a literal firecracker into a box, and all that happened was disappointment and RUclips comments
i love that you dont just post the successes - posting the failed attempts is good science
Am I the only one to notice Brian's Pip-Boy themed watch face? Always love to see Fallout things in the vids!
At 14:13
He used to wear a Pebble Time watch with a cool watchface. Must've given up on him. It's a shame they don't make them anymore.
Is it a galaxy watch? I have a watch that is similar
Rename this episode "Modern Rogue fails to make a party popper"
*Brian nails the firecracker to the table*
Cory: "Oh yeah, you nailed it."
I'm surprised that Brian or Jason didn't catch that.
Just use "pulling fireworks" they are mini firecrackers with 2 strings and when you pull them it goes pop, tie fishing line to either end (or use multiple) and voila instant audible tripwire.
...or Party Poppers. Has the added benefit of showering surprised, unwanted guest with confetti & streamers 😁
I honestly thought that's where they were gonna go! I remember being SO SCARED as a child to pop those off lol.
This video just feels like a behind-the-scenes of the a-team (but better)
When Cory flies in to the rescue and it comes to safety, Brian and Jason get safer, Cory gets cooler.
Okay: bring back CAUSE IMMA MODERN ROOOOOOOOOGUE
Man Brian has come a long way from the spikey haired guy at the bar to the long haired, flipflop guy at a teepee... It sure has been a fun ride all these years and I'm happy to have been there from the start. Keep it up guys 😁👍
Brian, you're a fire guy. I expect you to know. Its about time. You need more time for the match and the striker to work. We used to make a similar device in the Army using MRE matchbooks.
Modern rogue presents: trying to light matches and fireworks in a teepee made of try wood and twigs
A teepee made of DRY wood and twigs
"Don't try what you are about to see at home. We're what you call idiots." Modern Rouge does Mythbusters.
Brian: "Am I missing _an eyebrow?"_
This really is like the perfect blend of mythbusters and jackass. They've got the inquisitiveness and focus on testing, learning and teaching about stuff, but also the madcap insane stupid laughter and relishing in mayhem.
Jason sitting in their stick shack with his beard is exactly the kind of thing I'd expect to find in the woods
I always like these videos, because even though I'm sure some research is involved, it feels like Murphy or Brushwood said "Hey, I saw this thing online the other day, it seems kinda neat. Well, I cant find the link again, but that 5 minute glance i got 3 days ago should suffice."
I like how it feels like real guys figuring it out, and not just people telling me what to do.
Id like to echo an old comment in this channel, that Brian and Jason are the Chaotic Evil versions of Adam and Jamie, and I love it so much
this video quickly devolved into "can Jason and Brian light a match"
I'm absolutely here for the A-Team version of the intro
Use the pull string snap bangs or party poppers. Then if you wanna be a boss, add more powder
My grandfather made an electronic version of this to scare dogs from coming down his driveway. He used the clothpin with wire contacts separated by a stick (attached to a tripwire). When the clothes pin closed and made contact, it completed a circuit to a car battery which terminated in a tiny piece of copper wire that went through the center of a firecracker (he used a needle to poke a small hole and thread through the firecracker). It worked really well. You got a near instant bang when the tripwire was pulled because the copper wire would instantly get red hot in the middle of the firecracker.
Thanks! I hooked a fuse up to the speaker on my alarm clock, I'll be sure to wake up with my alarm tomorrow.
It's really nice seeing more of the cast being active in front and behind cameras, feels even more homely. Honestly, my favorite show in youtube.
Brain and Jason make me feel so much better about my ability to fail at everything 😂😂😭😂❤️
EDIT: I also love how they have to bring an "adult" in to teach them 😉
My heart watching Brian strike the matches directly into the big loose pile of other matches and dry tinder
Some options: 1) use cardboard matchbooks. If you pull them out and fold the cover inside out and lay the heads on the striking surface, it will ignite (have it nice and tight or use clothespin method) 2) zip tie the matches very tight and have the striking surface wedged in between them being pulled out. The match heads might break if its too much pressure, but i dont think its big enough to have that much pressure in the first place
Dear lord, so much gold in this episode. Love it!
Props to the editing team on this one! A great video as always.
I was gonna say you can call the B-team 🤣🤣
Or the M-Team, not sure they qualify as a B-Team at the best of times.
I love how they play with matches in the middle of what is essentially a giant bonfire
Modern Camera Guy Rogue. I am a camera op as well. I can not tell you how many times filming I pointed out a easier solution/better solution to something and the producers or director takes credit or I get shot down. Giving the people behind the camera credit where it is due is awesome.
Love the videos guys. I have picked up SO many skills 🔐 (< hint on one I picked up. ) durring the craziness of this past year. Found Modern Rogue though Scam School.
This is a really fun video, guys. Good job!
Jason is back!!!!!! YESSSSS. The drinkimg videos are wonderful, it is just great to see their chemistry on screen.
Ahahaha the first time this show improves on an idea, it wasn’t even Jason or Brian (or even Cory). It was the camera guy.
Ha! It happens.

Problems
1.) A trip alarm set off while you're sleeping may wake you up, but you don't necessarily know WHICH alarm went off. Also, sound in wooded areas bounces off trees making it very difficult to accurately pinpoint origination even when fully alert and actively listening for an alarm.
2.) Small firecrackers make small noises. Think back to the drop off of amplitude experienced during the jury-rigged car horn episode, where the obnoxiously loud horn could barely be heard at distance. Now imagine if you only had a split second to hear it...
Improvements/Solutions
1.A) Utilizing the smoke paper (nitrated cellulose) you could send up a plumbe of smoke along with the firecracker alert for visual identification where obstruction height is minimal.
1.B) Daisy chaining specific numbers of firecrackers together could identify specific zones by the number of reports. Simply tape the tip of one fuse to the base of the next fuse to create a delay between detonations.
2.) All sounds CAN be amplified. Punch two small holes under the lip of an empty soup can and zip tie the lead firecracker(with attached match) inside the can. Two more holes can be punched in the base of the can (one on the bottom and one on the side) so you can loop a piece of string/zip tie/key ring, to attach the can to a tree or ground stake. The can could be easily camouflaged using a thin layer of mud with leaves and bark pressed into it. The soup can could also create a self contained method of transport. Daisy chained firecrackers taped to the interior, zip tie and or ground stake/nail placed inside along with clothes pin striker (wrap line around clothes pin for storage), and smoke paper used as packing material to keep everything from rattling around. Stretch a lubricant free condom over the can and tie in a knot and PRESTO! SELF CONTAINED, WATERPROOF, ALARM WITH REDUNDANT DIRECTIONAL INDICATION!
You can also take the black cat throwing snappers and fix them to a mouse trap rigged with your trip wire. But you have to glue a hard metal surface to the spot where the bait goes (or in this case your snapper). I used a pop bottle cap and glued it to the wood. Then you have to bend a slight point in the middle of the metal flipping piece. Put your snapper on the pop cap then tie your trip wire to the latch that sets your trap. Tie it to a tree and now you have a reliable trip wire trap that's made of garbage. Your welcome lol. Also I love you guys, I've been following since Scam School took off. Love what you guys do, keep up the amazing work.
always love to watch 2 chimps play with the fun stuff
This is how most episodes goes. Jokes; explanation; attempt; unexplained failure; more jokes; more attempts; more unexplained failure; expert help; success!
I love how Murphy refer the small firecracker as payload, and brushwood refer to it as ordinance.
Now I want an "I love the smell of Modern Rogue in the morning" t-shirt on ScamStuff.
Upgrade the idea to light a signal fire! You need to call the rogues near by when you’re being attacked! Here’s how:
Take the striking surface from a few match boxes and line the inside of a pill bottle with it.
Fill the bottle (CAREFULLY!) with matches until the matches are tight against the side (Maybe place the last few matches in upside down to reduce an accidental ignition).
Once the matches plug the inside of the pill bottle, hot glue the ends of the matches together. Be careful not to hot glue the matches to the bottle though! You can also throw in a key ring while the glue is drying, to work as an anchor point for the match plug. Glue a match through the key ring to help the ring stay in place while the plug is being pulled.
Once the plug and the striker bottle are put together, attach the plug to a stationary location and attach the bottle to the tripwire.
If you have a fire pit or a signal fire built right, a stationary flame from that many matches should make it go up.
Maybe Throw pine sap in to the logs to help it ignite quicker.
Good luck!! I loved the episode. Thank you so much for everything!
By the time this works the ninja army has completely surrounded their 'base' and is just "....you done playing yet?"
It’s incredible how inept they are at basic things. LOL love you guys. Keep up the great work.
Improvement: Flip the striking surface the other way and place it between the two matches, allowing you to zip the matches together, pinching the striking surface while making it able to slip out with an almost guaranteed strike.
Optional: Replace the key ring with another baby zip tie made into a loop.
you guys are great ive introduced you too several friends and they love you too. good show guys.
I apologize for the wall of text. But since I had been making things like this for most of my childhood, I thought i could give a few pointers.
Couple suggestions, Instead of using those fireworks use the ones that are a group of those all tied together on one fuse. If you dismantle it, each individual one has a very fast short fuse. This would allow it to go off nearly instantly. Second, instead of wrapping the matches in the striking surface, fold the striking surface in half with the striking surface on the outside. Place 2 matches on either side like a match Oreo. Then rubberband the whole thing onto the firework with the match heads near the fuse and being squeezed against the striking surface by the rubberband. You may want to strengthen the matches attachment to the firework with duct tape or something. And finally, you can tie this to your tripwire by poking a hole in the striking surface and running the line through the hole. You can strengthen this by putting a small stick or another match inside the folded striking surface and tie the trip wire around it. This would make it so the line can't cut through the stricker.
Tape the ordinance with attached matches to a door frame and tape/glue the strike strip to the door edge so it strikes the matches when the door is opened.
you can see Brian wanting to say "that's what she said " when the dude says, "when it's too tight you woon't be able to pull out!" :p the smirk on both their faces haha! lolled!
What I used to do was use paper coin rolls or toilet paper cardboard rolls and filled them with toilet paper or tissues. I used the the tp as a delayed fuse. It also makes for nice fiery confetti
Watching this while cutting the stitches out of my amputated finger because the doctors office that was supposed to do it screwed my appointment up.
Be careful, you don’t want to lose a finger... again
@@OhSnapVince No. No I do not.
whats the story behind that scar
I wanna know... How you got those *scars* 🤡
A couple weeks ago I was BBQing with a friend when we decided to go inside. We went in the back door through his basement and upstairs into his house. He got to the top of his basement stairs and lost his footing. He fall backwards and I jumped behind him to try and catch him so he didn't smash his skull on the concrete floor. My hand got caught between him and the edge of a piece of plywood and it ripped off my finger. It didn't hurt much when it happened. I actually didn't even know I lost a finger until I looked down and it wasn't there. It hurt like hell the next day and for 3 days after that though. Still, it's better my finger than my friend's skull.
So far I've seen what i think is a MASH reference and then a heard a Thundercats reference. You guys are still as awesome as ever
I still can’t believe that Brian was trying to pull the matches towards him, it wouldn’t have lit the fire cracker
Sitting in that dodgy Spider infested pile of sticks...
All I was thinking is: Don't touch the floor or sides...
Then Brian has to fall into the side of the wall...
Glad you came to a solution at the end, I remember doing those when I was a kid, and we also used clothes pegs.
In this episode of the Modern Rogue!: Jason and Brian construct a Victim-Operated Improvised Explosive Device!
I feel like this episode is like the entirety of MR in a nutshell. "What kind of show is it?"
"Ever see two guys play with matches and fireworks in a tent made of dry wood in the middle of a dry forest?"
So i had two ideas to improve on the design, purely hypothetical, but i know of other kinds of firecrackers that dont need any sort of heat to go off. There are pull string firecrackers where all you would have to do is tie one string off and the other to your trip wire. The other idea i had, you can use the impact firecrackers. Just tie the trip wire to the firecracker and put a rock or something hard the path it would travel when the trip wire was sprung.
When I read "Improvising a Fireworks Alarm" In my head I thought like an alarm you wake up to and while what you guys did makes more sense I'm slightly disappointed I was wrong.
The easiest way is to use the tape and tape the striker around the match. No ziptie needed. Just remember to tape it tightly, or it won't ignite the match.
My first thought was an alligator clip so not surprised the clothes peg worked so well. With a strike on box match you could carry a bunch of them pre made without worrying about them going off. Just put the 2 halves together as you're setting them and keep them separate otherwise
New Modern Rogue video: Cool.
Improvising: uh oh.
Fireworks: UH OH!
Love it! When you can’t get fire from fire master you go get the guy warning the overalls and ask why Lol
No ads in the middle of the video please. Although the placement of the adds has been very successful so far (beginning brief mention of the sponsor and more info at the end) I hope that this channel will keep one of its memorable characteristics as it grows, the fact that the add placement didn't suck unlike in most of the other youtube channels.
By the way thanks for the great content. Keep up the good job.
love how you guys are playing with matches in a "house" literally made of kindling... thats the modern rogue way!
Buy one of those musical greeting cards, the one where it starts playing "Happy Birthday" or something when you open it. Remove the battery, circuit board and speaker from the card. Wire the switch shut so it always plays the song, if needed. Take a thin strip of plastic and punch a hole at one end. Tie the fishline to the strip through the hole, slip the plastic strip between one end of the battery and the contact. Make sure the strip will pull out of the battery easily. Mount the speaker, battery and circuit near where you are, so the intruder can't quickly reach it and kill it. Run the fishline across your door or the part of the path you want to guard, and tie it to a tree or bush. Not as loud as a firecracker, but easier to set up, light enough to carry anywhere, more likely to work, and still spooky to an intruder.
13:28 the best. This is my love for this channel.
My favorite episodes are the ones where everything goes wrong xD
There are several low cost ways that are a bit easier/more reliably to use. Mouse trap and shotgun primers. Or old surplus grenade strikers and the same primers.
Improvement idea! There are pull string firecrackers that you just pull the string on either side. Just tie the firework in-between. No matches necessary
Trim one ear of the cloths pin and drill the hole for the nail for a permanent holder. Could also build it with the armed setup in a vertical peice of PVC with a cap on one end and open on the lower end so that it stays protected from the weather. Run the string down through a heavy duty staple nailed into the tree to prevent it from being seen so easy or a pulley.
I love that little intro in the middle, should be the new "cuz im a modern roooooooogue"
Haven't finished the video but already made my night. You guys make interesting videos! Also I hope you have a fire extinguisher on set :D
They did, but used them all in the last video...
@@35manning Оmg you're right... I didn't see that video
I'm glad I watched until the end I've never heard of that band before
You know it’s gonna be a good episode when the ad segment has to be in the middle of it 😂
Day 22 of reminding the Modern Rogue to do another radio video!
22 damn
When you reach day 33 the Free Masons will intervene and force the episode
Put the ordinance in a soup can. It will A: protect it from elements if it's being left out for a long time B: concentrate the noise either at the bad guy or at home base and C: hopefully protect the surrounding area (dead leaves and whatnot in a wooded area) from the fiery bits.
Sportman's Guide used to sell these pull snap alarms for when you get lost in the woods and need a noise signal, or to alert people if you're attacked on the streets. This could theoretically work with those quite well!
Yeah, ok - mousetrap.
Just an idea, but you guys could make a laser trip wire like you see in all the heist movies. It's actually not crazy hard to do or even expensive... You could salvage cheap solar panels from Dollar Tree garden lights, grab an old low voltage automotive relay (this can be tricky but low voltage relays are cheap online), a $1 laser pointer, a 9v battery, and a loud passive piezo buzzer (salvaged from electronics or bought in a pack of like 15 for $8 on amazon). The laser light pointing at the solar panel will induce a charge which will keep the relay flipped. Something walks in front of the beam, the relay trips the other way closing the circuit to where the 9v sounds the buzzer. Best part? No fuse. You'll trip the relay at nearly the speed of light (thanks to the power of lasers).
I swear your videos don't end up in my recommendations unless I'm already watching one. I'm Four months late to this video and MAD about it
I love the smell of Modern Rogue in the morning!
The way we make tripwires for airsoft is a rat trap with a small steel plate where it closes, then a .22 is placed in a small hole in said plate, which is struck with the bar. It's gone off every time we've used it
They literally made a grenade, then pulled the pin by pulling the grenade. Lmao I love this
id recommend attaching the line through the hole on the clothes pin, then fastening the firework to the table (or anything to keep it still), this way the firework wont follow the individual setting the trap off, and avoid injury.
"If you need idiots who don't know what they are doing, and you can find them, you can call, The Modern Rogue" I think I smell a new official intro, I miss the scream, but OMG it's too perfect :'D
As for an improvement, you could have it set off sparklers, or a bunch of ground up sparkler powder in a tennis ball, then the upward stream of sparkler might scare people off along with a bang from a cracker as well?
