My grandfather always took us out on the river fishing. Never had a hiccup, everything went smoothly. I was young and dumb, and it wasn't that everything was perfect. But my grandfather was always prepared. God rest his soul, I was blessed to be raised by such a great man.

[@FishinNStuff]

You surely was brother ,

[@shanemichael3925]

My metal shop project in high school 1972 was making portable stereo using 8 track player and motorcycle battery for power and duel headphone jacks in a metal ammo box, work really good.

[@FishinNStuff]

I had some 8 tracks myself lol

[@michaelGreen-uj2hg]

Badass

[@tracymeskel2839]

I make the power boxes, for the RV community. Lots of us are off grid, for 6 months. So it’s nice to be able to charge your phone, run a couple lights, or even run a CPAP machine for the night. I made ours, and my friends, with solar charging capabilities.

[@melinda5777]

Suggestions....Paint the Emergancy Box Red, may want to stencil EMERGENCY in white. I LOVE YOUR VIDEO'S!!! Only reason for suggestion is because of the Coast Guard. I have a sailboat and after a certain length, if you don't have th EB=BIG FINE!! GOD BLESS 🙏❤💙🇺🇸🤙⛵⚓

This will work excellent for my battery / kayak milk crate ideas. You must have watched a lot of Red Green on TV as a kid. If the women don't find you handsome , they sure will find you Handy. Awesome ideas as always 👍 👍 🇨🇦 take care

[@damonallen8760]

This video was worth every red penny I paid for it don't let any body tell you diffrent

[@thestonesaver6345]

I was really hoping one of the hacks was gonna be how to magically refill your empty ammo boxes. Getting too expensive to fill them the whole money exchanging way. Lol Great stuff Keith!

[@FishinNStuff]

I know right , might as well make a grill out of em lol

[@ottopartz1]

For the one on the boat trailer, I always keep extra bulbs, a bit of wire and a roll of electric tape just to keep everything legal. Ya don't want to deal with the man if you might have had two beers with shore dinner after fishing.

[@chrissewell1608]

After watching this a second time, I would recommend using a 3 gallon bucket for your cast nets, versus a sealed ammo can. Because a cast net, gets wet and fish slimmed up, by the end of the day. Get a 3 / 5 gallon bucket. Drill some drain holes in it. At the end of the day, you can wash off the net with some soap and water, and let it drain and dry in its own bucket. Then its clean, dry, and NOT Stanky! And ready for the next big adventure! And you can always get a lid for the bucket, to keep the net stored, but the holes allow for dry air circulation.

[@jdfflats1]

I used 4 ammo boxes on my boat at different times. I used tuff coat rubberized paint on the bottom to help reduce them from sliding around the deack and or keep them from banging on the deck

[@FishinNStuff]

That's a good idea

[@MrLink1386]

Made the battery box power source. Amazon has a power hub that also has a switch built in. Solves one issue with that box. I also added a charging port on the back side so you can just plug a battery tender or solar panel into it. Never have to open the box.

[@grantplumley5790]

How long does the battery last for what your using it for

[@deans9766]

Tip #8 I used a cheap waterproof plastic ammo can to straighten out my sons scout troops first aid kit(fancy boo boo kit) they use. Because most first aid kits come cheap plastic cases that aren't water proof or durable as even a cheap plastic ammo box. But I have a larger ammo style plastic box for misc gear like yours, but with a few other things like pencils, paper, zip ties, playing cards, etc in my truck for camping or fishing trips. Its truly amazing the variety of ammo style cans/boxes out there.

[@FishinNStuff]

They work really good don't they

[@xaenon]

I had to ship a failed hard drive, and a parts donor drive, to a data recovery service. A plastic Harbor Freight ammo box, a couple of static bags, and a couple of old towels made a package that would stand up to almost anything and cushion the delicate mechanisms inside. The ammo box had a place for a small padlock, but it was just plastic and easily broken, so I taped it tightly shut as well. I mailed the padlock key to the data recovery service separately. A hell of a lot tougher and more secure than any cardboard box.

[@brianwestmoreland3836]

I love power supply box especially since i have a USB flashlight, I would add some extra wire and bolts on the outside of the power box to charge it that way I never have to remove the battery just add a vent for heat and vapor, I don't have need for a grill, but that was a bad ass hack. The tool box idea on the trailer is a new addition coming soon, keeping bearings, or whatever.

[@shawnkelly6924]

For bank fishin'.. instead of wacky noodles, add another battery. (connect in parallel) you could also put your charger in there and a plug-in so when you get home from slaying the fishys, before you get the knife out just plug it in and your ready to go for the next time. Also great for smaller boats for lights and accessories. and you can use the extra space for smaller items that you need water-proof. Thanks for the cool vids! SK.

[@anthonysalazar4744]

Did… did you just sign a KZbin comment. 😂 imma start doing that too. A.S

[@docpepere9198]

Good idea... D.P

[@frankstrohm5967]

I like all of your videos the one thing I see you need to do on your PVC Projects is to flair the end of the pipe. The best way I have found is to heat the end and press it over a glass bottle to form a smooth and regular shape.

[@mattblack1454]

11/5/2023 Hey Keith , you left out toilet paper in your dry box ! , lol ! Most important ! Keep up the good work !!

[@marcosbatista7081]

This ammo box hack is one of the best hacks that you have done man. This would work perfect for fishing, camping with the family and all our electronics. I have a request if posible, For this video, can you do an addition to the ammo box on how to add a solar charger to recharge the battery along with the on and off switch. Thanks man

[@TopCat2021]

Great video on the "hacks" er... alternative uses of ammo cans. A couple of tips on cutting thick aluminum sheet, a circular saw with a carbide blade will cut aluminum as easy as plywood (wear PPE) and if you have to bend the aluminum to keep it from breaking make a mark with a sharpie pen where you want the bend to be, heat the sheet with a torch (regular propane works well) until the sharpie line disappears then let the part cool down and it will bend easily without breaking.

[@SluSharkND]

Brother, you had me at the 5 gallon bucket video. Ammo box hacks? Brilliant. Can't wait to see what's next.

[@yepyepuhhuh]

I was waiting for you to have #10 as, "a place to store your ammo" lol. Great ideas, thanks for sharing.

[@FishinNStuff]

I started to do that lol

[@gregscott1429]

But no one can get ammo right now!

[@TheBeefSlayer]

Love those little batteries! Cabelas got em cheap! I use one only for fish finder so I don’t get any electric interference from anything else hooked to it! They are strong enough to power a winch or anything!

[@judas_cobane]

I don’t even fish and I loved this video ✍🏾

[@FishinNStuff]

thank you

[@2reelyakrz481]

For the battery holder boxes, you could install a 12v power plug and use a solar charger to keep the battery topped off. Might be a good idea to add a fuse to keep from melting wires.

[@FishinNStuff]

I did want to do that too , but I wanted it to fit inside the box and I ran out of time . I'm on a schedule lol

[@BilgemasterBill]

That's an excellent notion. One of those little Harbor Freight 1½ Watt Solar Panels for under $20 nowadays will really do the trick for keeping up a good maintenance charge. I recently tested my little sailboat's elderly standard lead acid house battery with a multi-meter. It's had no other charge in years, and it was tip-top. The panel is nicely weatherproof. My panel's been sitting outside on the bow in all weathers. Unlike higher wattage panels these little 1½ Watters are just the right amount of "gutless" and need no special charge controller to keep them from over-charging or "cooking" the battery. Just set and forget. It would take a few days to bring up a really dead or discharged battery, assuming it could even still take a charge, but it'll top up or maintain one just fine for years and years. The panel comes with alligator clamps or a cigarette lighter style plug. HF also sells a 'Solar Panel Connection Kit' for under $20 that contains a sort of extension cord and other useful doodads in case you have a battery in a shed or garage you want to keep happy, like in a motorcycle, riding mower or similar.

[@johnhubbard6262]

no fuse and a needle nose pliers crimp make this dual purpose, power, and fire source.

[@GaryHarness]

it has an in-line fuse, is that not sufficient?

[@jasonchenoweth4343]

Another thing that I think all fisherman should have in their emergency ammo box is, road flares !! Nobody expects to break down, get lost, or what have you.. but if something happens whether it's night or day... is always good to have at least one!! That way if you do make it to shore, or maybe you don't... and people are looking for you...as soon as you hear somebody.. you can light that flair up and be spotted from a ways, away! I believe that its a mile?! Whether it is or isn't, is just a good thing to have

[@LoneStar_yota]

I have like 20 ammo boxes. Was trying to see what I can do with them. This was a huge help. Ima be busy working on them

[@50chevtrk1]

Great hacks again! I know some people telling you about lithium battery, but nothing wrong with the battery you're using. Look up battery for a vexilar because you can find a charger to go with it. Nice little plug in charger.

[@50chevtrk1]

I really like the power pack that you made. That literally is a take anywhere hack.

[@JohnnyUmphress]

I made one of those portable chargers too in a plastic ammo box. But I cut a piece of 1/8" plywood that fits down into that lip around the top. Then mounted my sockets on the plywood. That way when it is not in use the sockets are protected.

[@freshwaterfiend6268]

Ta-Day those hacks were definitely pretty dang awesome... One way to think outside "the box". 👍👍👍

[@quikcarl61]

On ammo box hack #1 get a piece of foam rubber and use as a filler in the top of the box, if it tips over, everything should stay in place, hopefully!! Great hacks by the way, keep em coming.

[@michaelmoline2568]

The way that you plug other friends videos and willingly share information is an awesome thing. Love your stuff manI You are a hero. I'm going to save some money over the next couple of weeks and build a couple of these ammo box designs. Great work and your narration made me laugh the whole time. Thanks!

[@FishinNStuff]

Thank you Sir

[@eddiekeeler9955]

You just saved me some 💰. I'll make a battery box for my kayak instead of buying one. Thanks for the ideas.

[@flipflopping]

12:22.... Did anybody else know about this?? I didn't...and I have been prepping for 10 years. Wow....you learn something new every day.

[@beatfarmerfan]

I built one of your kayak light poles after watching your awesome video a few months back. It works great! Now I’m going to get me a Harbor Freight box and use your pool noodle trick with my battery. I can use my depth finder and night light off the same box. I kayak fish on Lake Superior, and I guarantee you if someone runs over me when I have that brake light turned on, they were aiming for me. Great hacks again, man!👍

[@FishinNStuff]

Haha you got that right lol . That really is a great kayak light . Ive made 6 different variations of that light over the past 7 years or so . But only 2 videos

[@nealatthecrossfishing]

These are awesome! I’m gonna use the ammo box for tools on my boat trailer for sure. Probably use the first aide hack as well. Thanks bunches!!!

[@pnwRC.]

Great video! I think I'll make one of them portable battery boxes. It beats the heck out of having to start the pickem up truck & hook an RC battery charger the truck's battery!

[@bigsarge3684]

I especially liked the power box. Excellent!

[@danielwood2134]

Love the grill idea it will be great on the boat thanks

[@rsmobley4685]

Great ideas! I attached 2 of the plastic ones to the handle of my fishing cart to hold all kids of stuff I need often.

[@jimmyjaimes5268]

Sweet ideas brother. BBQ grill , Battery box and the emergency box . Awesome . Thank you.

[@americanstriper8666]

That step drill seems to be your favorite tool. I see you use it for a lot of hacks.

[@FishinNStuff]

I makes things easy when drilling big holes , and you need to utilize what you got on hand if you can

[@frankhinkle5772]

I use my ammo cans to store ammo in. Hack #11: Put strips of colored masking tape on the top and across the front, under the latch, enough tape to be able to write on with a felt tip marker, and read easily. That way, no matter how you store the boxes you can see what's inside that can and where the can you need is in the stack. This isn't permanent, so you can re-purpose the cans as you need to. Your supply of X dwindles down you can move X to a smaller box, relabel and reuse the boxes. Good channel.

[@FishinNStuff]

Thank you , that's a good tip

[@jwalters9089]

I made a battery box a few years ago with a cigarette lighter socket so I can run my 12v inflator in the tent as well as charge phones. I used a larger 12 amp battery that has about 2 times the stored energy as these 7 amp batteries plus it doesn’t require all the pool noodle to keep it from moving around.

[@FishinNStuff]

That's awesome , I would be really cool with a lithium battery . One of the the reasons I used the kayak battery is because of the weight . Adding weight is always a bad thing for kayaks or boats but don't make a difference camping , and would be better the way you did it

[@josephpacheco7508]

I took this video and added my twist to it. I made my battery box with the USB ports, 12v plug, the 12 studs on top. (I put 2 sets of these. One for my fish finder and one to run a cb/marine radio so I can get real time weather Channel and keep in touch with others on the water) and rather than put some bright LED spot lights, I added license plate lights for that nice low light and it worked out awesome. Thanks again for doing what you do.

[@FishinNStuff]

That's cool . I appreciate you watching my friend

[@klingonsexy]

These are some great ideas! Also, we got 6 plastic ammo cans from HF and separated out our sockets by drive size and metric/SAE; it makes working on things a lot easier! Happy New Year!

[@dr.froghopper6711]

Good suggestions! I advocate for a boat box for tools, one for First Aid, one for survival food, one for survival supplies and tools, one for electronics. I like the metal boxes mostly because they tend to have more uses overall in a survival situation. They’re so darned versatile and easily stored in a fairly tight space.

[@thenextfishingadventure202]

You always have the best hacks. That grill is just AWESOME. Tight lines 🎣🤙🏾

[@5353iceman]

I use ammo boxes all the time. Great video, thanks

[@MuskratAdventures]

Awesome! Love the ammo box ideas. 2 of these are next projects for me

[@user-ir5dy5us8r]

Harbor Freight is my favorite toy store! I use probably 30 ammo cans for tools and nuts & bolts. Good hacks. Thanks!

[@fishin-afamilytradition524]

Like the afterthought of the switch. Maybe grommets too and some silicone just to make sure it's sealed. Loving your hacks and as always, looking forward to more. HG's sinker box was great too. Can't wait to get back to fishing.

[@rider660r]

Most those plastic boxes aren't sealed to start with,not like the steel cans,so you don't need any silicone. Some are though so look in the lid for a rubber seal,if it's there you can add silicone to the plugs/switch.

[@whoopiesslingspies4072]

Most of those panels with usb and 12v ports have switches now built in. Under $20 on Amazon.

[@faronmastin8683]

Nice thanks for another great video Im going to use the one for my tool box and the emergency box for my boat.

[@carr869]

Before I even start watching I wanna say thanks. Like your videos

[@FishinNStuff]

[@ScrewballMcAdams]

Great video! Fun to watch and filled with good ideas. Thanks a bunch!

[@rbuss1984]

That grill was amazing!!!

[@stevesalcido5135]

Great hacks! Gave me some good ideas for ammo box uses. Looking forward to the next episode

[@gohphaqurselfeeputhy622]

Finely more things to use my ammo boxes for. I received a full pallet of.50 caliber ammo cans for Xmas last year

[@SittingBearProd]

What more could a man want!

[@gohphaqurselfeeputhy622]

All the ammo that came in the boxes and the gun to fire them?

[@raywells6088]

Pretty freaking awesome video and you had a couple I never considered. Aside from being a hardcore fisherman, I am also a bit of a prepper and several of these are applicable there too! Its a great way to store your supplies organized and ready at hand when disaster strikes.

[@FishinNStuff]

They do make great storage compartments for all kinds of stuff

[@s.wilson5199]

I'm glad to learn about step bits. Thanks!

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

... Bunch of great ideas ... I seem to stumble on a different one every now and then ....

[@michaelblencowe4241]

Now I have a use for all those ammo boxes I store under my work table haha. Thanks for the ideas I'm gonna be using some of those for sure!!! Keep up the video cuz it's to cold to fish here in Pennsylvania so I've been building some of your fishing hacks! Thanks

[@stepside78]

This man is a fishing genius

[@sistaslab3159]

Great ideals as usual I will be using some of them thanks for all you do

[@fryreartechnology7611]

Got one on the front of my Honda ruckus as a locking box and cup holder too

[@noahfroman4372]

I would prefer using a fuse for the charge box too. Love your stuff!!

[@alintudorstefanescu2083]

Awesome! I really like the power bank one, ingenious 💥 thanks for sharing! Don't stop!

[@jeffbohnstedt7894]

Very timely on sending this out. I got my grandson an ammo box and sent this to him. He was quite excited

[@FishinNStuff]

Thank you Sir

[@scottblow7154]

Thats pretty awesome I think thats a great way to motivate good work ethhic.

[@fuzzyfultz]

Awesome info brother. Thank you again. Great job, great ideas.I am looking up the boxes on harbor freight now. Not a bad price.

[@wayned5872]

For the micro grill Use expanded metal bent 2" 90° down for ur coal grate , not that plastic coated closet rack junk

[@user-neo71665]

x2 because sometimes even that vinyl coated stuff is galvanized under and that crap gives off poison gas when heated.

[@Bandit-di3pi]

i wouild have cut it out of what he got at the junlk yard

[@pistolpetepeterson]

I third this.

[@gardenhawk]

@@user-neo71665 I was hoping someone had mentioned that about the galvanized metal. Not sure if the paint and metal from the ammo box is toxic

GREAT HACKS HERE. Love the battery box. ALWAYS use an inline fuse connected to the battery tho.

[@FishinNStuff]

Your totally right I forgot . It's hard to keep everything straight when you do 10 hacks

[@newagetomboy]

Damn I just ❤️ This Dude. I was just in Harbor Freight yesterday and saw the ammo boxes & was literally wondering what I could do with them.

[@HEAVYHITTrS]

Man I love you’re channel. You’re officially my new favorite KZbinr. I spent $100 on Amazon last night to DIY myself some stuff

[@FishinNStuff]

I appreciate that , thank you for watching brother

[@isntthatshameful1267]

Loved the power box with the back up battery. I'm doing it tomorrow

[@sed6]

16:34 that tank filter is neat! That white material is called filter floss in the aquarium industry. It's only part of a good filter. That filter floss polishes the water and removes visible contaminants. To actually purify the water you'll need microbes and someplace for them to grow. Fill the bottom third of the ammo can with lava rock or a similar very very porous material. You change out the filter floss as needed, once it's disgusting but you never touch the lava Rock. Never rinse it with fresh water, that will kill the bacteria. Those two filter media combined will truly allow your bait fish to live in a good environment for a long time.

[@FishinNStuff]

Thank you that's good information

[@phxBird]

You got me hooked 🎣 on your current (2024) videos home made power bank system, so I’m walking my self back to your video three years ago. 😂 Thanks for sharing!!

You are awesome inventor

[@GooberTimeOutdoors]

Another good one! Thanks for sharing

[@jforo3281948]

You are so awesome with your hacks...I've already done and used several ones...I'd also say i very already mad a grull out of an ammo box a while ago and used it first ice fishing for venison and hot dogs for lunch while out on the ice...have also used while camping but want to cut a little door on one end so you can feed sticks for fire while camping...thanks so much for all your hacks.
