How to build the $1 pocket stove

[@KdawgCrazyOutdoors]

Amazing DIY project bro. Final product looked pretty good. I just bought the Bushbox pocket stove that's about the same size for about $36. It's a great stove but you can't beat a $1 DIY. Thanks for the video.

[@mudpuddle5000]

You are the antidote to bushcraft stove ADVERTISING videos. Thank you so much. Cute ... cute little stove that so OBVIOUSLY will work well with it's so pure hearted antecedence.

[@swmoboy]

Being a practical guy and a do it yourselfer I enjoyed your video. Thanks.

[@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures]

Built one of these a few weeks ago after watching your video!! Thanks for sharing the template measurements and showing the steps. Used mine just this past Saturday, well just trying it out and it works great. Great videos!!

[@kxd2591]

That's one of the best instructional videos I've ever seen. Thanks for posting.

[@earlelzy7243]

I like your stove build. I have been building stoves and pot stands and buck saws all year sense the pandemic lock down started. I'm retired so I needed something to do anyway. Fun and therapeutic for me. Thanks for your video.

[@AFizz-cw3on]

Wow, I'm only half way through. Your design and material is outstanding!

[@manuelqsjr]

I dig it....and using a baking pan is super practical, I don't understand why I didn't figure it out on my own. Great job!

[@jbbennett2816]

Cool! I use a similar set up but its not too labor intensive. Arthritis has taken its toll on me, so I opted using old Brake Shims that my friendly mechanic saves for me. These hardened small sheets of metal already have some cut outs and I just manipulate them to make a stove work. But I like your ingenuity. You made it fun and simple-- Its a great project. Thanks again, Jb.

[@jetblackstar]

Love this. It's actually easier to pack/set up then one I bought. Will be giving this a try!

[@newhampshirebound8551]

Excellent! I love the hinges. Great job thanks for sharing.

[@diddybushcraftnoutdoors8072]

Great DIY, I've thought about buying a Vargo but didn't want to spend that much money on it. I will give this a try but I may modify it to about one inch bigger.

[@hfortenberry]

Impressive! This looks amazing! But it's hard to see because the camera was not focused on what you were doing much of the time. Could you provide some instructions about what to do with the parts you folded over? Thank you. Fantastic project!

[@redpillreligion6751]

I didn't have a cookie sheet I didn't need so I cut up an old Coleman coffee pot. You made this process look easy. You have much better control of your Dremel than I do. I am just trimming up the pieces now and it's taking forever. You also had better control over your tin snips than I did so I have a lot of trimming to do. I guess I'm just OUT OF CONTROL. lol Good video, thanks for sharing. I love making things.

[@libbybaker6890]

Thank you, this is the first time I've seen one made, and I think I can follow your plan easily. Very nice.

[@AlbertDolmans]

exceptionally well done ! Very clear instructions ! Thank you !

[@dcordry]

Thank you for an excellent DIY video. Good job, buddy!

[@SurvivalFirst]

Thank you

[@darrylhunt1]

Great job man. Best tutorial I’ve seen on this. Thank you.

[@TheFishingGuideGuy]

Thanks!! im going to use this for my canoe trip in Southern Ontario!

[@ratroddiesels1981]

necessity is the mother of invention . well done !!

[@johnharrington2831]

Hello , Well this is a great video with some great back ground music, and I really like the stove , I did enlarge it a 1.5 inches but it is a fine little stove Thank you for this video...Johnny b.

[@onestooge]

Nice video. Some of the cheap models on Amazon make it easy to just purchase one over build one, but they have some design flaws. Your build fixes those flaws. Nice job.

[@craftycamping5355]

Major design floor with this is that the bottom is way too close to the ground. Thats just my opinion though on using many of these stove s over the years. Just needs lifting up a bit. Otherwise a very cool project and well thought out.

[@TheMrhycannon]

Very well thought-out and well made video.. Keep up th good work..

[@SurvivalFirst]

Thanks! I am currently working on some modifications for this stove as well as some new designs.

[@senatorjosephmccarthy2720]

Excellent design. Alum for lightweight. Dissasembles and/or folds flat. If the grill bars were simply parallel, would be stronger and easier to work with. I must make one of these. Thanx!

[@stovesleuth3279]

Great job. Those dollar store pans come in handy. Try making a vargo type stove out of a 2 dollar esbit burner from warden's supply. Also you can make a cheap civil war half canteen skillet from a pie pan. The metal gets harder with burns. so a good option.

[@ShanLiuGBM]

Actually like to make a bigger one, rocket style with less smoke. I do like your folding idea. Can you make a fold-able rocket stove?

[@onetwo2989]

Really nice job! Gonna try and make one tonight! Thanks for sharing this!

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

Very cool, I just made one. Came out nice!

[@charlesconder8635]

very good job ignore negative post

[@ChrisMartin-sw9kb]

you sir are a master at fabrication

[@OutandAboutWest]

This is outstanding, well done indeed! You have some serious skills!

[@SurvivalFirst]

Thank you!

[@willahern9601]

Can you make me one? What would you charge

[@MrSIXGUNZ]

wow great information and step by step video!!

[@Georgecobb-s1v]

Innovative; economical; & practical. Thanks.

[@tjfm59]

like your choice of materials. gives me ideas. thanks.

[@rexmichaelson]

Great job! This is a nice design and makes ingenious use of some very cheap and easy to acquire supplies. Nice video and production work as well. But most importantly, thank you sir for your service!

[@sandyblue8082]

great stove. You could use non stick pans and grind it off with a flap disc or something.

[@xiavue2606]

Thax bro nice video it helps I'm going to make one for myself

[@ceesparxxx]

This is the BEST DIY portable stove/camping stove that I have ever came across!! I have found tons of videos about how to make one with a soda can, but this one is much more portable and reliable and looks a lot nicer. Definite Thumbs Up on this one!! Thank you for sharing :)

[@SurvivalFirst]

Thank you! I have revised the design to make it more simplistic and easier to build. I will be making the new video within the next few weeks.

[@cherylhirschdiyfun4636]

Very awesome stove build. Thanka for sharing.

[@tikisailor]

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@kurtbaier6122]

Great content and presentation. Thanks. I shared.

[@longhairs5175]

It's nice , I would like it just a little bit bigger but not to much.You could just use two pans and adjust the measurements. I like how you laid it all out clearly with measurements some people show themselves throwing it together .

[@MrWmburr7]

What an ingenious idea! I didn't quite understand what you did with hinges there. I'm a little slow, I guess. I'll have to back and watch it a couple more times. Hey thanks for sharing your idea with us, my friend.

[@SurvivalFirst]

William Burr thank you! With the hinges you are taking the ears on the metal and rolling it over the clothes hanger.

[@phillipmerritt1428]

thanks for making them video on how to make the stove I'm new to prepping and survival but it looks like it would be something I could do. keep up the good work I really enjoyed your video I'm watching your channel and I passed it on to my friend. 💀🐊🐉🐲👍

[@MichiganHiker]

Good video and idea. The dollar store is a great resource for materials like the pan. Thanks for sharing

[@michaelbauer7052]

yea, and you can buy 3 toothbrushs that come with 3 full size cases at the dollar tree you guessed it, for only a dollar, and a shower curtain in case in rains for a shelter !!!

[@leonelgustavomirandamedina9795]

Cordial saludo, quiero saber como se llama el material que usas para hacer dicha estufa gracias por tu respuesta, desde Cali Colombia felicidades.

[@davidhayes5382]

It's just a standard baking tray for cooking in the oven

[@urflofit2010]

cut the back pocket off an old pair of jeans for the stove to store in

[@davesullivan8073]

That’s an awesome idea too but I think I’d be making my stove a little bigger so I would use some pockets from cargo pants.

[@noonesreal678]

love the idea. I was thinking if u didn't cut a hole in the middle of the bottom u could put a fuel cube

[@quarlow1215]

Nice vid of your watch and VW tattoo. Might want to check your cam view next time.

[@LibellulaGlass]

Excellent. Great video.

[@aparecidomiranda6637]

Ótimo vídeo Parabéns 👍👍🇧🇷

[@simon4043]

Neat stove, similar to Lixada on ebay I think your pot supports should hold the pot higher than the walls of the stove, so the flames have room to escape and lick around the bottom of the pot

[@SurvivalFirst]

simon4043 You are right. I have a second version that does just that. Unfortunately I have been hit with back to back deployments and was unable to make the video. When I come home again I will make the version 2.0 video. Thank you for watching my channel.

[@jcolson76]

Nice vid, it's a great idea and a project I will definitely try

[@SurvivalFirst]

I am working on some design upgrades that will make this stove easier to use and make.

[@casualpreparedness2347]

This is useful information. Excellent Video. 👍👍😎

[@circuh1981]

i was with you until the hinge stuff. still learned a lot. thanks

[@senatorjosephmccarthy2720]

And more important, Thanks For Serving.

[@treytolbert3310]

I just bought the Sterno stove (the basic metal color one, not the red one) and it works great, it has thicker metal, thicker grill and is only slightly bigger

[@Standswithabeer]

Most excellent! Thank you!

[@TheAkashicTraveller]

This looks like it would work well with a soda can stove. I think I might have a go at putting together a CAD design for this (or something similar). I know someone who owns a CNC laser cutter which would be nice for this.

[@SurvivalFirst]

That would be awesome.

[@dreamcreationsadventures]

Great Stove and video, i would have liked to have seen at least one view of the hinged corners though in real time instead of so fast. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

[@hoveringdroppage7155]

I changed the settings to- speed 0.5 you could drop tp 0.25 for the more fiddly bits. hope it helps

[@farhad_tulip]

خیلی خوب بود ممنونم Very good thanks

[@IAMGWH1]

I like it! I’ll try to build one ASAP

[@cyrus5222]

Thanks for learning this camp wood stove , I think if drilling and make some holes from bottom of each wall . about 4 or 3 holes

[@GreybeardtheSurvivor]

Nice job on the video. Nice design. Look forward to checking out some more videos. Subscribed. 👍😎

[@jerrybobteasdale]

Good one. Makes me want to make one.

[@guymacher4116]

nice work!

[@hoveringdroppage7155]

I thought your video was great. I've always wanted one but couldn't justify the cost, thank you! I know you realised you were out of frame for a while, maybe tape out an area on your bench to line up with your camera, Just a suggestion. otherwise one of the best DIY's for a long time. Don't let the haters get you down your doing it there not! looking forward to more ...,no pressure :)

[@stum2730]

Great stuff, thanks for the upload ;-) I have most the tools in my garage, and i can increase the size to fit my needs-like others could if they used the little fleshy thing between their ears, lol. Much appreciated, will give it a go.

[@R0sieC0tt0n]

i'd like to suggest attaching some kind of chain or wire to the pin so it doesn't get lost. Also possibly make the legs a bit longer, otherwise great design.

[@SurvivalFirst]

I have an updated stove design that is easier to build and setup. I will make the new video as soon as I have time to do so.

[@tanstaafl1960]

We're waiting...

[@SurvivalFirst]

Scott Hicks Sorry for the delay. I got back from a deployment, had some family issues and have to move again. So I have had no free time.

[@Moostery]

Got an ETA on the new stove design?

[@SurvivalFirst]

Robert Briggs After returning from a deployment, I got orders to move. So I am still waiting on my all of my house hold goods to arrive. Once I have that I can make the video.

[@Moostery]

In that case, thank you for your service. It's men like you that keep my faith in humanity from plummeting. You have done more for us than most people including myself.

[@LittleMtnOutdoors]

This is really neat!

[@SurvivalFirst]

Thanks!

[@carolewarner101]

Great little stove. Grind down the sharp points and edges and toss it in a little freezer weight zip lock back to keep the parts together and the soot from getting on anything and you're good to go. Did you happen to weigh it by any chance? Would be curious to know if you have a scale sensitive enough. Thanks for sharing!

[@kawasakiz1ba463]

fantastic project

[@johnjay336]

Nice one, I like it.

[@OutandaboutoutdoorswithRon]

Great can not wait to build one this is an amazing help!!

[@wolfpack2545]

Very good work

[@johnsmith-iu1dv]

Very cool. Thank you.

[@NeoWolfsOutdoorAdventures]

Nice set up! I am going to do one for my wifes and sons bags. Thanks for sharing and I subbed you from this video!

[@SurvivalFirst]

Thank you! If you have any questions during you builds let me know and I would be happy to help you. Thank you for subscribing!

[@Xrayblazer3595]

That's a great design

[@bwanner]

Great tutorial, and I love watching these DIY projects. My only comment is why spend an hour making something like this for $1-2 when I've seen precision machined ones for as low as $6.50 online. They fit together every time, and have no jagged edges to cut yourself on in the woods.

[@thedestroyer3879]

Ease of access

[@VTK72]

Woow brillant 👍🤗

[@rivahkillah]

Looks very good

[@joefrank7159]

Thanks, great video!

[@dash9252]

Nice drawing, always wanted to find one! A little safety tip, don't wear any kind of gloves while using any kind of rotary tools, you don't want that to be caught up, fingers are easy to be twisted at that speed.

[@steppib.4598]

Nice work! But is not the pot close to the flames? Could be that it works like a lid and choke the flames! What about holes near the top edges? ☺ Maybe then the flue gases burn better? 😊

[@OutcastPvp]

Nice any specific pan to use????

[@Bradt3hleader]

Very neat little stove but as an avid camper I'm not seeing what you use it for? Could you make a video showing how you use it? I just make a small fire pit and throw a little grill over it to cook anything I need. Do you set this on top of the coals?

[@SurvivalFirst]

$1 Wood Burning Pocket Stove MYOG: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6nHiWuHqtl4r5I A lot of places don't allow open/uncontained fires this should meet the local requirements. The little stove also focus the heat better than and open flame and provides a windscreen.

[@britfin007]

A tin can(hobo stove) will do the same with far less work and much less cost, also you can almost pick one where ever you are so you don't have to carry a can everywhere. Nice concept though!

[@airdegree6007]

very impressive!

[@earlelzy7243]

Awesomes job. Just needs a sack for it.

[@MsNailgun]

That was great! Thank you.

[@wrightshot1]

Great video.

[@SurvivalFirst]

Your craftsmanship far surpasses mine.

[@wrightshot1]

Thanks, hope your are enjoying your knives.

[@zach.himsel]

If I'm hearing that correctly, are you using a DSLR with a stabilized lens? Turn off in-lens stabilization when you're mounted to a tripod. No need for it and it just tries to stabilize against movement when there is none (and creates noise in the in-cam mic).

[@SurvivalFirst]

I am using a dslr with image stabilization. I just assumed if the camera was stable it did not do anything. I appreciate the advice, I will be sure and turn off the stabilization for the next video. Thank you!

[@celestteazulse4944]
