    Napalm for cooking?

    Greetings, all! Throughout the past year or so, I have been reading and watching YouTube vids about those that simply combine styrofoam and gasoline to form napalm. I also saw a YouTube video where burning napalm would stand up to strong winds. The one thing I haven't put my finger on yet...

    Anyone have experience with a pocket/travel/camping bellows?

    These types of gadgets aren't too expensive, like $7-$12, and I'm thinking about buying one.. I'm prone to buying camping gadgets, so I probably shouldn't, but thought I'd ask... Normally I huff and puff, and it's suited me well so far, but maybe one of these extendable/retractible...

    Solid and liquid fuel stoves

    I’m wondering if anyone here knows any diy stoves that can burn both solid and liquid fuels. I’ve come up with this idea: Wich itself is a modification from this DIY beercan stove video that has been mentioned all around: According to the ever reliable youtube comments if you burn fuel with...

    pine pitch stove

    I found a video by NW Primate that I think would make a good cooking stove with a little modifying, good if you're in the bush or if you wanna drink your booze, not burn it =)

    Chipotle utensils

    Instead of buying any type of camp utensils (fork, spoon, butter knife) hit up Chipotle for theirs. Unlike most "disposable" plasticware, they don't have a bunch of unnecessary grooves and divots on the back that collect food bits n bacteria. They're very flexible so they don't crack from your...

    Do I even need a cooking stove?

    So, I been thinking about my list for my upcoming escapades. Something about a cooking stove seems a little unnecessary. I can eat lots of stuff cold outta cans, and even still, with a proper mess kit, I could just cook over a fire. I plan on being out there for a long time. A year, at least...

    Propane backpacking stoves?

    For cooking, butane sucks bad. Isobutane seems like it sucks, but is super common. Sterno and alcohol are total garbage imho. I'm not boiling water here, I'm making meals. A man can't survive on hot pockets & ramen alone, and decent food is the only thing that keeps this body going. Wood can get...

    Self fabricated alcohol cook stove/heater

    These are very beneficial to have. Along with having a shower in a bottle. https://www.thesodacanstove.com/alcohol-stove/how-to-build/index.php

    Butane Stove Sux. PROPANE PROPANE.

    I was given a butane camp stove recently, and although it worked well, those little gas canisters have such a short life that it defeats the purpose of cooking your own meal. I managed to cook a box of mac and cheese and heat up a can of chicken noodle soup before the thing ran out of gas. I...

    Can woodstove

    in my ever present striving for less reliance on the machine I have now given up even using a backpacking stove. No more buying fuel and then having an empty canister to deal with. I've made two I guess #2 sized can stoves and here where I am living the winter I burn our paper stuff to make...

    Road Food, Healthier Eating

    So now, typically I carry mostly rice, sometimes a little flour to fatten up a meal and salt and pepper, may be a few different herbs and a few bouillon cubes. High sodium but they make a little stew a bit tastier and taste can play a big role in mentality. I wanted to say about how I acquired a...

    MSR Whisperlite multi fuel stoves

    I had used a pocket rocket for years and this past the threads wore out so I bought a walmart similiar design for like 17 bucks. I love these stoves but want to get away even further from waste and the semi seclusion of having to buy these canisters at certain places. The whisperlites are not...

    Solo Stove review (camping mostly).

    I’m not a traveler, but am an avid primitive camping enthusiast and really enjoy, and am very grateful for all of the great content that is contributed on this site. In the time I’ve been lurking, I’ve come across so much truly helpful info that I thought I’d like to contribute something myself...

    Soylent or similar meal/drink

    Anybody tried this for longer trips? Seems lighter than regular food and maybe could get one through a bind. Obviously not ideal if food is to be viewed also as a morale booster, but I'd like to hear some pros and cons. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J120A using the Squat the Planet mobile app!

    The Mkettle Woodburner - anyone use one of these?

    I'm doing my "times are good financially" gear buying and getting some really dope stuff that will improve my quality of living right now and I found this: http://www.titaniumgoat.com/MKettle.html 13 oz, it's a 4"x7" water jacketed woodstove. It boils a pint of water in 6 to 8 minutes - for...

    What pots or pans do you use?

    I'm about to buy a stove for my trip for myself and best friend. I'm thinking about just getting a normal pot or pan you would use in a kitchen and not one of those kinds designed for backpacking and lightweight and all that shit. Anyone here do that? And regardless of what kind of pot you use...

    ghetto firepit

    There was this old cowboy staying next to me in a campground once. He was in an old camper and loved to cook over a fire. He had spent a lot of time in Mexico and said that the Mexicans had shown him an awesome way to get a portable fire pit. They would take the drum out of an old washing...

    Old coleman naptha stoves

    So i found this mid sixties Coleman 2 burner camp stove. You can use gas or naptha. Its the kind you have to pump the red tank that hangs off the front. Anyways are they practical to strap to your pack or useless as fuck.

    kelly kettle

    Bit surprised there's nothing on here already about Kelly Kettles, maybe you're all using them anyway and it doesn't need a discussion or pointing out their existence to you :rolleyes:. I had a go on one a few weeks ago and was well impressed how quickly you can get the water boiling and with...

    Hobo heater 2

    I am new here and was just reading while lurking when I saw a post about a DIY heater that reminded me of a different heater I know of. Since it's cold weather season I thought I'd post to share before I forget. All you need is a 2-piece terracotta flower pot in the size of your choice and a...
