Stanley Cook Set - Hack #7 - No Drill Bail Handle

Поделиться
HTML-код
  • Опубликовано: 26 июл 2024
  • Imagine adding a bail handle to your Stanley Cook Set that doesn't require drilling holes in the cook pot. With only 24 Oz of capacity, adding holes only diminishes the amount of food or water that you can put into the container. So, I came up with a new way to add a bail handle to the cook set that is easily removed, yet can stay permanently attached if you wish and doesn't reduce the volume of the pot. Make sure and check out my other videos in the Stanley Cook Set series!

      You have made me realize when I bought my set several years ago I purchased a versatile valuable piece of gear!
      One thought though, if you made loops on the ends and attach the male into the female end, you now lave one that will not come off until you want it to!

      Just wondering. Could you not JB weld or epoxy the " Chicago" connectors onto the outside of the cup and forgo the hose clamp altogether?
      I really like the way you fashioned the bail.

    Just found this series and loving it so far. This hack gave me an idea for a slightly slimmer version...using 2 hose clamps, cut them to where they overlap a bit then drill holes on the ends for the chicago screws. Put it all together and you get rid of the worm screw. Of course it may require some addition engineering to keep the overlaps together, but that can be sorted out based on the tools and skills of the individual doing the project...keep 'em coming in the meantime!

    • @WayPointSurvival
      @WayPointSurvival  2 года назад +1

      Sure, as long as you could keep those overlapping bits together that could work.

    BEST HACK EVER!! I am doing mine tomorrow, so far all the hacks I have done have increased the usability of my cook pot 110%.

I can't wait to see what you come up with next!!!

    Hi James, great idea. I thought at first that the screw ends were going to stick out too far and catch on any carrying pouch you put the kit in, but once the kit is nested and and the bale handle is in place it all looks very neat and useful. Like many folk, I just drilled holes through the cup for the fish spreaders. The greatest issue with the holes through the cup is if you want to drink from the side. Though i have found the holes useful in another sense, as with the lid in place they act as handy drain holes for your pasta! Thanks for the vid.

    Third time through this series, putting something together for my daughter now. I opted to do the notch in the factory handle slot on the container instead of adding a bail handle. Basically, raise the factory handle so that the top is centered over the container. Mark where the handle wire is touching the slot on each side. Take a Dremel type tool, file, metal blade for a jigsaw (snap the pointed tip off so you have a flat end with teeth all the way), etc. and cut notches into the slot so that the tension of the handle pushes it out and into the notches, locking it in place. You can now suspend it over a fire using the partially deployed handle, still have access to remove the lid, stir, etc. and added no components or weight, and the handle still works in all it's original positions. I've found using a toggle on a rope works well, as does cutting a flat notch in a stick if using a cantilever or pole method of suspending the pot. Since the end of the Stanley handle is square, cutting a traditional X-notch or pot hanger notch isn't necessary. I don't recall where I first saw the handle trick, it's certainly not anything of my own invention, but it really works well.

    I seen another RUclips video where a guy uses fishing leads and picture hangers/hooks. Tried it and it works great! 30lb metal leads of 6 costs about $1.50 and the picture hangers are about $2. Will make a set of 3 pot hangers in about 30 seconds and takes up little room. That's a cheap and quick bail...if you use a small carbine r to connect the leads at the other end. I can hang the larger cook set with the bowels with them as well. The hooks slide under the lip of both Stanley pots and the glacier cup as well. Also the Ozark Trail 30oz lid will fit the glacier cup and the Stanley. Wish I could add pictures to this message for you. Thanks for all the hack ideas.

  • @richiec.1111
    @richiec.1111 4 года назад

    Thus is a great idea! The only thing i would do differently is partially tighten the hose clamp before marking it for the notch. It looked like the screw may have been in the way of proper bail function after all was said and done. Either that or just put the screw opposite the OEM handle. Thanks for this. I may mod mine soon and start using it again!

    I like to mod things. It gets my brain working to look at something that someone else thought of and put together and wonder what I would've done differently or perhaps what could I add to it to make it better or even just unique to me. Beit firearms, survival gear, or bushcraft gear I always look for ways to improve upon it. Without getting too nuts about it though.
    I have to say, these have been some of the neatest mods for one of the most basics of cooksets that I've ever seen. It's a simple easy and cheap but very workable and usable cookset. Your mods elevate it to a level previously not achieved before. What if the Stanley Company were to see these mods and implement them in future versions? That would be pretty cool I think. Maybe you'd even get some royalties eh!! Thanks for the videos.

    That's a cool way to add holes without drilling into the cook set. I haven't made this or tested it but it would seem like it would be more secure to bend eyes in the end of the bail and use the screw part of the chicago screw.

    • @WayPointSurvival
