Lol your walk and demo would have come out better had you had half a dozen slices of bacon and a quart of grits to go with them eggs 👍 and maybe a couple of Dutch oven biscuits. 😜
Wouldn't 3 more bolts make this suitable for smaller pans?
Love this series and the hobo videos. I'm on a fixed income these have been fabulous money savers. I love to be outdoors even as a single Older woman
You've taught me a lot. Thank you.
Glad you like them!
Thanks for the tip on galvanized metal. I was just told never use galvanized for grills, etc because of off gassing. I was unaware that you can burn it off…👍
Thanks for watching and I'm glad that you found it useful!
Great idea. I've been using three metal tent stakes which is slightly less weight and a little less stable but this better. Thx..
Jane's this was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I justblove how you reuse items that we'd just toss away!!! The trivet was outstanding brother and awesome job with the carhart haversack!! I've learned such a ton of knowledge by watching you and will continue to do so. I've implemented alot of your hacks and ideas...and this trivet is another one for me. Keep up the great work and don't stop brother!!!
Thanks so much for the kind words and support, my friend!
@@WayPointSurvival anytime man
You know I couldn't help but notice your spoken narrative (for the video) and realized that's exactly what I sound like when I'm alone . Seems I don't do anything when I'm alone without telling me about it. Probanly because I'm so smart that I want to make sure I agree with what I'm doing. Anyways, he keeps me company. But it always amazes me that I let me do a lot of completely stupid stuff, too!
Thank you for watching!
another great simple idea that i never thought of thanks again James....your property is gorgeous
Thanks so much!
Congratulations on a great channel, mate. Your ideas and tutorials are economical, innovative, and ecologically oriented. Your presentations have a great appeal for those who either don't have a lot of money to spend, have a love for the environment, and who support re-purposing, and reuse of what's already available, or a combination of all.... Cheers.
Thank you so much!
I really like the idea of using the hinges as a cooking surface I would have never thought of that .. I have some old gate hinges and a 8X8 grate that I am going to cook up some Hot Dogs for lunch..that is a great way of using crap thats not being use for anything and turning into a useful tool. great video and idea. well done.....Thanks
Thank you!
good one james ,, i see a tripod stand in the making..always hard to cook eggs on camera ..dont see many people saying grace before there meals anymore , stay true my friend..
billy joe
Thank you!
Nice job recycling with the haversack and great idea for the trivet.
Thank you, glad you liked it!
I just liked and subbed after the 5 hour energy bottle tip. I now want to binge watch and see what else you got brewin
Thank you for watching and thanks for the sub. Glad to have you on board!
What video is that?
Love these hacks and videos you do.
You should compile all of these videos and show your home made hacks. These make great weekend projects for both adults and kids.
I saw a silmilar hack using shelving brackets, but it was not foldable like this one. Really great hack.
Thanks!
Instead of the nut and bolt, try using a Chicago Screw for the pivot. They're a lot flatter, and they sell them at Wal-Mart.
That's a good idea. Thanks.
Is Chicago screw the name there sold under?
Countersunk rivet on the trivet🤣
Great video. To bypass the central bolt problem, maybe a Flathead rivet would do the trick. Once it's punched in there, it will remain put.
Good idea!
What a simple yet great idea. This channel and the content you create is fantastic. Thanks James.👍
Glad you enjoy it!
Always enjoy your videos. Love the simple cooking ideas. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
cool idea for a hot trivet ...i like it , the simplest ideas are the best ...someone in the comments had a little variant with ''L'' brackets instead of hinges...love it when people share their real life experiences in the mix , you got me with the hobo stove vid i subbed ...thanks
Thank you so much and welcome aboard!
Very nice home made bag Lad
Thanks!
Would love to see how you made that Haversack.... and also the details of yoir fire kit.
Those Expedition bags are very expensive for what it is. Any budget alternatives? We're on a limited budget.
Very interesting! And a great idea! My father had a friend about 60 years ago who made one of these with handmade hinges from his blacksmithing forge. The big difference was that his did not come apart the way yours does. He used his in his forge shed to make coffee in a boiler type coffee pot. I like your version much better so I am going to make one of my own. Thank you for the memory and the idea!
You're welcome! And, thank you for watching and commenting!
Awesomeness! That bag is great.
I have a few small plant stands i was gonna scrape/burn the plastic off of for a pan trivet, possibly for use over a rocket stove.
This hinged one is a great idea for the fire pit.
Thank you for watching.
This was another genius idea my friend always impressed with your ingenuity!!😁✌️💚
Thanks so much!
Thats pretty darn cool and I know cool when I see it. 🤔😁🤔 If you wanted to put smaller pots on you could drill three holes halfway out from the middle hole and put in three bolts of the same height. I am off to price strap hinges. 🤗😉🤗
Hello! You have good ideas!
You can replace the central bolt by a countersunk head screw, I am not sure for the translation. Then your trivet is flat for little pots ;) Thanks for your very useful videos
Thank you for the suggestion. I was looking to use something that could be hand tightened with out using any tools. I will be looking into your idea. Thank you!
How do you countersink on metal?
I think he was referring to a screw with a counter set head and a flat top.
Thank you for sharing this fine, educational, video. Great idea, the trivet skillet stand. Always take care out there and have fun. 🤗
You're welcome! And thank you for watching!
I'm late to the party. So to speak. But I will be adding 1 of these to my oh crap truck kit. Thanks for a great idea!! Keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do!
That is a slick little idea! Very nice James. I am like you and always find ways to re-purpose little containers that would otherwise be trash. One of my favorites are the little glass syrup bottles at Cracker Barrel lol. You did a great job on that haversack as well. It looks very rugged. It is a true joy to cook and eat breakfast in God's creation and that spot you have there is a small slice of Heaven! Keep up the great work brother and take care.
Thank you, brother! Much appreciated. God bless!
JAMES I GOTTA HAND IT TO MAN,I'VE LEARNED A GREAT DEAL SINCE WATCHING YOUR CHANNEL. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
Thank you so much!
Another excellent tip and video. Thank you. God bless you and your family.
Thank you! God bless you all as well!
This is awesome! Great idea! Love and blessings from Ontario Canada!
Thank you for watching.
Great dyi video. I have been trying different ideas for cooking in camp fire. This is a great easy inexpensive way to cook in the woods. I will be making one soon.Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome, my friend!
Outstanding video , keep up the great work.
Thanks, will do!
I have made these before along with the door handle trivet and they both work nice but on this one I use the same kind of carriage bolt you used for the door handle one and leaned over the thread end a little so that the wing nut did not back off all the way also I have found that if you use a small diy grill to it that just over laps the top of the hinge legs where they fold you can also use smaller cook sets ( Stanley and boyscout style and does not add a lot of weight and takes up very little room as they are flat mesh screens but work very well with this. As for a bottle I found something that also works for olive oil and you can add a spout to it that works nice to that you can see through it is a small hospital mouth wash bottle and a eye drop cap after it is cleaned out of course they fit perfect together and about 4 0z of oil and you can see thrue the bottle to keep track of the amount you have in the bottle. Keep up the good work and thank you. Btw what kind of bag did you use for transportation the trivet or does it matter?
Thanks so much and I appreciate the tips. I used just a small standard bag. Nothing special, I just look for them at yard sales and second hand stores.
What a great idea!! I usually just balance cookware on branches or rocks but recently bought a little fold-up grate. But this would have worked just as well, possibly better due to the narrow legs:)
Thanks!
That trivet is a neat little idea
Thank you so much.
Too cool James. I've never seen a Trivet before. Looks kinda handy. Thanks for sharing brother.
Thanks, Chief! You're welcome!
Gained valuable ideas from your video. Thanks for sharing. Will be adding one of these trivets to my kit.
Glad you found it useful. Thank you for watching and commenting!
I have found the Daniel Boone channel. Thanks for the videos. Great illustrations !!

Thank you!
Very smart solution.
Thanks!
Very nice idea must try it 😊
Thanks a lot 😊
Ingenious !! Now you might try making a folding handle for that frying pan, great video and ideas!
That would be a great idea. Thanks for watching!
Great idea. Thank you.
Thanks, glad you liked it!
That's a really good idea thank you I will be using that
Good idea . I’ve never seen a two egg carrier. Hope you and your family had a great Christmas
I purchased a couple of them off of Amazon several years ago. Thank you for watching.
Always good content shared with excitement 👌
Thanks for watching!
I know this is an old video but I see your Otzi knife I had one for a neck knife for years now i love it. My Mora Eldritch is usually what I would wear but I always took that with me it's very light awesome little blade
Indeed!
From South Africa.. mix it up with your tin can frying pan... nice idea 💡 thanks.
Thanks for watching!
the accsesories i can make for this
a lil oven and grill and more i love this idea
Thanks!
Very cool brother! Thinking outside the box!
Thank you, my friend!
Thank you, I live these tips and tricks.
Thank you!
I like it, easy and as simple as can be.
Thank you!
Damn that's a great idea. I would have never thought of that. Good work my friend.
Thank you!
That is a really cool idea. Thanks
Thank you!
That is an awesome little get up and a great idea!!!
Thank you!
Great information as always my friend!
Thanks again!
Great video
Thanks!
Pretty cool, thanks for sharing. We used to did this in a way less elaborate way back in the days by just using three tent pegs or nails haha.
Thank you!
I use rocks but the trivet has me won over for evenly burnt steaks. Beauty.
Good idea. Nice cap. I have used one 1985. If it is what i think. Here we called it " blood cup" .
Thanks for watching. I was not aware of that nickname for this cap so I appreciate the info.
Great video !!!!!
Thanks!
Nice, James!
Thanks!
If you used a counter sink head bolt, you could cook with smaller pan.
I cut cardboard egg cartons to match my needs of how many eggs I want to carry. Can burn carton with no toxic fumes or melted styrofoam on ground.
Good idea!
You could even put a small grill on it thanks for sharing this with us awesome video
Yes, that would work well. Thank you!
A small stainless pan can sometimes be flipped over and used as a griddle too.
Another winner!
Thanks!
That is a great idea. Thanks and take care.
You're welcome!
I like u didn't skip or forget to tell galvanisation is poisonous. Like n subscribed
Thank you for the kind words, for watching, and thank you for the sub!
An mother great idea from Way Point Survival
Thanks!
I've got a similar trivet instead of the hinges I use 3 10 inch x 12 inch L brackets and I can use them the same way you do I can also use them in a triangular pattern where you place tips at the bend spots therefore making it sturdy and no nut and bolt needed I bought them at Walmart for about $1.80 apiece
Good idea! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Are you L-brackets foldable like these are?
Better atmosphere, ambiance than Bob Evans or IHOP. God bless you, my brother!
Nothing like the outdoors for a tasty meal! Thank you and God bless you as well!
👍Neat idea. Thanks for sharing. 💝
Thank you for watching!
Cool idea!
Thank you!
Now datz purdy darn slick 👍💡👍
Thank you!
Certain birds need the egg shells in their diet. They can be mashed up real fine and put on a stump or on a fallen tree, etc. about 4' high. If they are in the area they will find them. Great vidoes!
Good point, thanks for watching!
Very nice.
Thanks!
If you carry a large washer, you could place it around the bolt for a flat surface for your coffee pot.
Good idea, thanks for watching!
Perfect if you like burnt eggs.. lol.. great idea, and also a good tip with energy drink bottle.. now, all you need is someone to cook your eggs for you and your set..!!!😉😅
Thank you for watching.
I love the hat. Thanks for sharing
Thank you!
Awesome and "egg"citing demo of it :D . I do like this homemade haversack too :D Ill keep an eye out for stuff now to create a trivet with.
Thank you, my friend!
Thanks for sharing !
You're welcome!
Way cool idea.
Thank you!
That’s super nifty!!
Thank you!
I always appreciate the prayer before eating...
Thank you!
💪😉👍!!!!
Saludos desde Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Gracias!
Thanks my brother wonderful videos on the joy of camping and enjoying Gods wonderful world. Friends of the Quesenberrys and I believe you are related, Good or Bad Ha Ha, Thanks God Bless.
Thank you, brother!
I enjoyed your comment, “We cook over coals”. I grew up in south-central Alaska and I could never figure out what the outdoor magazines and survival literature (that I devoured) were talking about. Coals from a fire? Where? Spruce fires dissolve into ash. No coals. It was not until I came “outside” (an old term for stateside) that I understood. A fire from hardwood is a HOT flame. Not only that, there ARE coals that are hot enough to cook over!
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
That trivet is a nice project. I would tap the hinges with a hammer to tighten the pins up just enough that they still move but tight enough they stay where you set them. Wobbly legs are a pain.
Yes, after the nylon bushings burned away they were more wobbly. I will definitely tighten them up. Of course, you could just buy hinges without the bushings, but they were cheap and available. Still, a fixable problem. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Yes Mr Binder I just watched your video on the trivet and it kinda got me thinking about you maybe putting a small skillet in your hobo kit just a thought I mean I used to be homeless and I had a small one person cook kit and it helped like I said just a thought and again I thank you for your videos sure
Great idea, thanks for watching!
Good thinking
Thank you!
Great idea using an empty energy shot bottle. Good Non scratching spatula. Genius trivet idea.
Thank you!
Great tips, thanks. By the way the fire starter has been discontinued
Thank you for watching and for the information!
Great hat ;)
Thank you!
Countersink the hole and use a countersunk machine screw. Good job.
Yes, that would definitely be an improvement.
There u go thinking out of the box again , Great job Florida loves you 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👏 ps where you get the ww2 German cap ?
Thank you! I purchased the cap through Amazon, believe it or not.
I was just out for a casual walk and decided to build a fire and cook an egg on my trivet. 😂
It's a setup....lol.
@@WayPointSurvival definitely a cool idea. I have creative things I come up with, but it's nice to see what others come up with.
Great idea Thanks for sharing. ATB. Nigerl
You're welcome!
I have some really small cast iron pans that are about 4-5 inches in diameter. Big enough for a get home bag. Small enough to not weigh much.
Excellent, thanks for watching!
the zink fumes can be eliminated by using mild steel weldable strap hinges or even better two 3/16" x 1 1/2" x 1ft. flat bar straps that are hinged (bolted together) on one end with a 3/8" x 4" bolt and accompanied by bolts of the same diminution on the other end
Absolutely. These were just the ones I could find on short notice. Thanks for watching the video and adding valuable content with your suggestion!
Instead of using the dremel to scratch the hinges and make them non-slide, dab a little high temperature silicone on them.
You could definitely do that.
great idea I seen this in a field n stream magazine years ago they work great.. where d you get that hat at want one.. thanks
I bought it from Amazon, here's a link: www.amazon.com/Heerpoint-Reproduction-German-panzer-field/dp/B01DU9EZOY/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=ww2+wool+hat&qid=1559741625&s=gateway&sr=8-1
