DIY Bush-pot Cook Kit

So you have made your own Bush-Pot! Well here are a load of low-cost ideas for practical items you can fill it with!
Enjoy
Bushcraft should not be about buying expensive gear & over-priced bushcraft brands, it should be about getting out in the woods, learning the skills and enjoying time spent outdoors.

Love the home made kit. Like sharing these sorts of video showing people they don't need to spend a fortune to get out in the bush

[@SteveSeadog]

Even if you're not working to a limited budget, there's a certain pleasure in making or adapting you own kit then using it in the field. Great vid, Neil.

[@daveedwards6567]

Nice 👍 video 👍 thanks looking forward to your next video chears mate

[@adib396]

I made one of those Burners and I used kitchen roll jammed in place of the loft insulation. Works surprisingly well. First video of yours I have watched, I have been doing this stuff for years so I like the nice "old school feel" to your video. ;-)

Very informative. I have collected similar items in a DYI cook kit of my own. I’ve experimented with various cook pots (DYI and manufactured) and have finally settled on a simple Stanley Two Cup Cook Pot with Lid. It’s a little heavy pot, but it works well for me. Depending on the location and weather I vary my stove and fuel carried. Alcohol works well when appropriate for conditions. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. - Tennessee Smoky

Awesome bit of kit , a great way to start my birthday week.

You must really like the woods. Came out and hugged the ugliest tree in the forest. Nice kit love the videos. Stay safe have fun.

[@Mat-kr1nf]

I like your glasses, I have the same, but with gold coloured frames, John Lennon eat your heart out!😁. Also got a pair of those “peer over the top” reading glasses, not very common nowadays, I think they’re seen as a bit fuddy duddy, old fashioned, but I don’t care.🤣🧐. They’re great for when your doing things when you do close up then look far away- like when you’re in the woods.

[@colinbrown4008]

Great ideas 👌

[@cookingsong5644]

Perfect video

[@robslagle]

great video......you could have saved fuel by using the bush pot upside down to snuff the stove..

[@Junk_World_Templar]

Fantastic idea, I carry an enamal coffee pot around in my camping gear, purely so I can feel like a cowboy whilst brewing coffee on the camp fire, but my coffee pot could easily fit all that 👍🏻

Even though I have a few nice expensive pieces of whizzbang kit, there is a certain sense of satisfaction when you use the second hand bargain you unexpectedly found and bought for peanuts

[@bencoombes2711]

Great videos one thing I would add is a stick table I use a door push or any .85.mm alumium sheet cut out a 15 by 15 cm square and bore sum holes to keep it lighter if you want add a center hole for a 6mm there's bolt add a machine screw 6mm and thread I to a stick alumium rod old tent pole and push it in the ground next to the hammock and hay presto one table for you tea to cool add milk e.c.t keep them coming tho :-)

I really like this home brew kit but try as I might I can't find those plastic bags but I did find some made out of Silicone that might work. thanks for these vids

Has anyone tried the Vienna sausage burner? its faster and simpler to build uses the same tomato sauce can edited to add put a can of Vienna sausages and a 6 oz. can of tomato sauce in your bag, stop at your favorite coffee shop get a cup to go and on the way out grab up a handful of napkins, a few packets of dry creamer and some of sugar now with the napkins and the vienna sausages and tomato sauce you have the makings of a meal and a drink. and an alcohol stove

Just found your channel, love it. May I recommend a good one or two from across the pond as it were. Waypoint Survival and Corporal's Corner are some of my personal American favorites. Just a thought. Great job on the video!🇺🇸

What fishing gear is useful, does the job, and is probably cheaper, for wild camping? Fish jaw spreader for hanging a pot? Tackle box for storage of general items? Line? Etc.

[@thomjarman]

How do put the burner out?

[@litterpicker1431]

Starve it of oxygen. However, with experience, you can judge the right amount of fuel to get the job done. You can also buy inexpensive burners with screw on lids, and so save spare fuel in the burner.

[@christophersherratt7299]

Neil why you love saving money 💰 have you tried metal fusion spot welding, car battery couple of Leads and copper bolts for materials use old washer panels you can make all sorts even cups over lap welds

[@AlanKRiley]

Good stuff, cheers

[@marksadventures3889]

You need a snuffer for that burner so you can save fuel. I like your hammock chair.

[@cyndywaskelisthecrowscall]

In my (inexperienced) opinion, you should come up with a way of snuffing the flame so you can save the fuel. Maybe? Is that stuff savable/reusable?

[@raybeazley9896]

Take the empty bush pot and turn it upside down and cover the stove. It will snuff out the flames and you can reuse the alcohol.

[@BourneOutside]

Love the Poundland cutting “boards” Neil. Great couple of videos 😉👍🏼

Boiling water does only a partial job of making it as safe as we can. Boiling kills bacteria, and some little wiggliest. Boiling does little to nothing about, virus, contamination from agricultural run off, industrial run off, nature (blood, urine feces, etc). A water purifier does a better and more thorough job than only a water filter. We don’t want to spend time squatting while we slew from both top and bottom. Most unpleasant.

Not true about viruses: www.dwi.gov.uk/receiving-a-boil-water-notice/ "Heating water is one of the best ways to kill or inactivate bacteria, viruses or parasites. Most bacteria and viruses are killed at temperatures well below 100 degrees Celsius. To be safe, bring water to the boil so any bacteria or viruses that were in your water are killed or deactivated, making the water safe to drink. Boiling water is also effective against parasites such as Cryptosporidium."
