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...

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...

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...

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 =)

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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!

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

Esbit stoves are awesome. Theyre cheap. You can get one with 6 tabs of fuel at REI or Big 5 for $15; packs of fuel tabs are about $7-10. The fuel tabs burn for about 10 minutes; which is enough to boil about a pint of water in about 5 minutes. Then you can save the unburnt portion for later. The...

Roll of toilet paper in a coffee can, pour in a bottle of rubbing alcohol/denatured alcohol,what have you,,but becareful, its hard to see burning alcohol in the light, and carbon dioxide will put ya to sleep,forever.

I just p̶u̶r̶c̶h̶a̶s̶e̶d̶ obtained a snow peak "GigaPower Stove (automatic lighting)" I was reading through the instruction booklet and it says that you should only use Snow Peak's "Giga Power" brand fuel instead of just any of the lightweight fuel tanks that you can get at REI or Academy or...

Seems like there are plenty of different methods of making D.I.Y. stoves on the road. but this one is the most direct and efficient one i've seen so far. all fits into a little tupperware container!

Well here is a use for empty sterno cans ya might come along or ya might buy.I never seem to figure out why people use sterno as it seems like such a weak fuel to cook with and i really fancy alcohol stoves to begin with.This is one hell of a stove after ya convert it over to run on alcohol.I...

I have yet to go alone on the road but that time is coming, just one question for you guys. From my research there seems to be a surprising amount of vegan/vegetarian travelers, what are your judgement on this as travelers? Have you seen a lot of them out there or are you one? Also if you...

My diet while traveling normally isn't all that balanced. I've been looking to adding Vegetables. I've seen dehydrated vegetable blends(most were called Vegetable Flakes) you can add to other foods or just to make soup. They were pretty cheap and something I could get easily. Most of the...

Just got one for free off a buddy of mine its just a 1 liter.Toying with the idea of bringing it along as my pack has a spot for one on the outside.Just curious what to expect for how long it'll last and how often ill have to clean it.I figure if i keep it topped off i shouldn't have to do much...

Just joined the site and thought I'd show a stove idea I used back in 09. While staying a winter at the Slabs, I noticed there was a surplus of old coffee cans lying around. Started cooking on a hobo stove every night. I wanted to take one with but they seemed to much of a pain to pack...

My boyfriend made a couple penny and coke can stoves. Last night we fired one up and made a can of chili beans! ^This is just the stove by itself, lit up and running. ^With a can of beans on top They run of grain alcohol. We used everclear. It was pretty easy to use on my bedroom table...

Anybody else enjoy them? Easy to make. Is easy to cook on. Is easy to take up and down. And can be emptied to conserve weight . Just fill up with new dirt when you stop for the night. Plenty of YouTube videos out there on them.

I used to pack some random thrifted stainless steel stuff in the past, but then got sick of losing them all the time, and trying to find each item scattered around in my pack. Then I switched to plastic which is easily found and replaced if necessary, but they tend to break in my pack. Now I'm...

I am going train hopping for the first time in a few months with a few buddies of mine and i was wondering if carrying a camel-back to carry water along with a few water bottles was a bad idea or not. Can anyone help me out with this?

This is an old trick I've used countless times in the colder regions while on trains..especially on the highline. You take a steele spike bucket and punch holes on the bottom for air. Put rocks in the bottom several inches thick.. ( bigger=better) build a fire and keep piling wood on it and fill...

Hydrate your body, the coconut gets cast out to sea, where it has all it needs,(they can survive for months out there) Then it sprouts on a beach and so starts the possess again(right around a century to mature) these guyz get lots of love from there folks. One coconut has; sodium(100mg)...

So i am going into Mexico/Central/South America soon and i am worried about when the random times when i will not have money to buy bottled water nor the means to boil any water, are there any water bottles/ purifying systems that you dont have to keep buying weird filter caps or whatever when...

So when you wake up in the morning and have to have that fresh coffee like I do how do you go about it?

I've always eaten the mulberries growing on the trees around here (Kansas City, Kansas) and today I made some badass jam from them. What are your favorite wild foods?

Just wanted to share with ya'll that this is probably one of the best camping kits I've ever used. It's got everything a group of up to four could need, cleans super easy, has built-in strainers in the pots, it's own bowl to do dishes in, and compacts all up into one pot! super compact. I used...

Found this thing online & it looks fucking cool as hell for $130. I can't post a link to it but it is a stove that uses no fuel just burns sticks/pine cones/pellets. The REALLY cool part is it has a USB port to charge your phone. It uses the heat & converts it to energy to charge your phone...

On the fly, trekking the urban sprawl, and in the wild yonder what do you pack in to keep your body energized and well-nourished? For me the less i have to cook (hot meals) the better so I take along cliff bars, oatmeal, rice cakes, whole wheat crackers, dried nuts, and fruits and seeds are...

Has anyone ever cooked food using the heat from a vehicle engine?

just wondering ppls methods of cooking hile traveling.

I've been getting sick of eating cold food via food stamps on the road so I found a couple designs and made what I think is a pretty good hobo stove. It's basically design and the typical twigs-in-a-can design combined. Materials needed: -big can (i used a coffee can) -little can (i used a...

Hey all. I am currently building/sculpting a wood stove for cooking/heat in my little broken down travel trailer. The stove is a cross between a Rocket Stove & Lorena Stove. The inside/fire chamber is brick/concrete with tin cans for combustion. The body is of course Cob/clay/straw/sand mix...

ok i do a lot of backcountry tramping and extended trip backpacking for sometimes over a week or two before i see civilization. i usually pack the same type of food and stick to the same cheap menu to ration off. my diet consists of the cheapest and most efficient way to get by without spending...

Hey all, I'm looking for the best way to purify water. so far I've found boiling and filtering but i was wondering if anyone knew any other ways to get the job done?

So I've found the best method for me is the mini burn barel method. Basically it works like a burn barel but is a coffee can. You need to drill/ cut holes all over the sides of the can so you get proper ventilation. You fire will go out with out proper ventilation. I repeat you need lots of...
