😂 I just commented on my culinary skills that formed when I was remodeling a hotel & living in one of the rooms for just over a month. I could make soup, ramen, eggs, and even grilled cheese/panini's using nothing but the coffee pot in the room... I never thought to use the iron, though. 😅

"Does it pass the Brushwood test?" Cory did see the prison ramen episode, right?

Prison ramen? I'm pretty sure he was there for the decade old rations!

[@custodianvrael6471]

Funnily enough, I've been using a DIY system similar to this for camping and hiking since I was about 14. My mates at scouts and I figured out we could make a cheaper alternative to buying a Trangia camping stove, which to anyone who doesn't know, is basically just a brass receptical filled with methylated spirits with a perforated iron lid with what equates to a tripod or pot stand with a cookpot above the fire. What my mates and I did was we got a medium-sized can, cut a hole in the side toward the bottom large enough to pass one of those kiddy corn cans through, added perforations to the top of the big can under the rim. Got a little kiddy corn can, stuffed toilet paper into it, then filling the can with the desired amount of metho/alcohol lighting it, then putting it through the side of the big can. the stove would then be ready to have a saucepan or small pot sitting on top of the open big can to cook some food. I've shown your video to a couple of my mates and now we're trying to make a more stable version. AWESOME video!!

[@Strilar667]

I would love to watch y'all renovate the train-bus into something liveable

[@DrDIYhax]

[@mablestark6501]

[@alexlayfield9271]

Yes this is a very good alcohol stove design, the best way I found to make the holes is use a nail and a hammer to punch the holes. Also the flams do burn quite invisible I have lost quite a few and knuckle hairs on a windy day.

[@MorganaDarkgoddess]

[@elliottanderson9507]

all the hobo stoves I've seen have been larger and wood burning. mainly cause tinder and cruddy small wood shards are free

[@Sheridantank]

You guys could definitely make a full production tv series, or even a movie, based on a post apocalyptic world. You could use many of the tactics in the show in different environments Not a zombie movie but something more modern rogue

[@willames363]

Would love to see more like this guys! And seriously, Brian had the crazy drunk hobo laugh after Jason burned himself

[@CThompson17]

I remember using a similar technique when my power was out many years ago. I used the toilet paper/alcohol trick. Empty out the contents of the can into your cooking vessel, remove the cardboard tube, stuff the toilet paper into the can your food came in, pour in the alcohol, light it and set it in between enough bricks to clear the height of the can, then set the pot on top with enough room to not extinguish the flame. Very useful when you're in a major pinch like that.

[@tonyvoegtlesquirrelpunkmag9768]

If you're wondering, most modern hobos, from my experience, (I've been homeless) do general labor/manual labor in cities. In more rural areas they do alot of work in the fields.

"Does it pass the Brushwood test" - guessing you didn't see him eat the electrolysis noodles... Brian, buddy, is everything ok at home? Does your wife not let you eat or does Jason just need to stage an intervention? We're here for you, either way... 😅

[@evanf1443]

You can make holes in the side with a can opener.

[@rockaholictom]

Jason kinda looks like the old wisened Hobo that the younger two look after on the rails making stoves and cooking for him.

[@eminatorstudios]

I think I just about shat myself when Brian said he felt like he knew what he was doing, seconds after he poked around in a coated pan with a knife.

[@SpidermanFan92]

I've done a similar method using one can and a candle. Open one end of the can and put eight holes in a ring around the lip to vent air in. Then put holes in the lid to let the heat out, and set the can over a lit candle. There you have it, basically a hotplate to cook on.

[@Fancyfinn99]

Brian’s cackling at Jason burning himself with the ramen killed me 😂

[@Max1dollar]

Love how far this channel has come, I remember learning bar tricks from a spikey hair dude when I wasn’t even old enough to be at a bar now im learning how to make a hobo stove... loving this content

[@Griefer_Jesus]

I used to make hobo stoves all the time in cub scouts. the ones I made used a big empty can (usually baked beans) cut the top off but leave the bottom on. then make a large hole that's about 1/4 to 1/3 of the circumference then about halfway up the side of the can. then make holes near the top of the can, for air. light a fire in the big hole, and you're done. the bottom of the can becomes a flat top stove that you can put a big pot on. maybe make it a competition like the dakota fire pit? see which hobo stove is the best

[@samuelletner7492]

Best line this episode, "you're about to lose your beard again."

[@Thrashmetalman]

I feel like one of these episodes is just gonna be "so we burned the house down...MODERN ROGUE!"

[@dezopenguin9649]

Honestly, the segue from "Does it pass the Brushwood Test?" to the Hello Fresh ad was kinda genius.

[@d34dR0d3n7]

Awesome ep as always, I have nothing to add for this context. Do have something related to something that happened with how you boys were eating... Blowing on food in a spoon to cool it to an edible state is pointless. You either make a mess or are cautious of that and don't do any good. Put the spoon next to your mouth (not touching) and inhale. A) You get the sinus/nasal clearing heat from the hot soup without the tongue scorch, B) Don't make a mess, C) Gives the perfect temp to eat after just a few seconds, even when the rest of the bowl is still near boiling. /so, basically: suck, don't blow

[@upinarms79]

"...opens up a can of lukewarm beef stew and pours in cheetohs" Well at least if Brian ever ends up in prison, he'll have an easy time adapting to the food. I'm also not sure what it says about me that I actually think that sounds delicious.

[@StarbornCthulhu]

Finally, this is my fave quick trail stove

[@tylergillette7050]

I often skip past the sponsored sections because I've heard it before and I'm already aware of the product, and for a split second I was almost annoyed about how long the one in this video was, but then it hit me that hey, this time it might actually be enjoyable to watch because now they're actually doing something with it as if it's a mini-episode of Modern Rogue by itself, and I thought that was really clever, props!

I read a long time ago the term Hobo was short for Hoe Boy, the solders from the civil war, at its end a lot didn't return home they jumped on and rode the trains or what ever means, just a Traveller, lot with PTS. And dealing with thoughts and life. They would get a garden Hoe and shorten it and bundle their belongings in a large, like handkerchief and sling it on the Hoe and the handle over one shoulder to carry.Thank you for video.

[@bootlegbeggar9010]

This is my first KZbin comment. And please use it as a cautionary tale. I made one of these for camping, and ended up getting 12 stitches on my thumb, and having to have my index finger glued back together. Stay safe out there, Rogues! (Fwiw, the jet stove worked great, and was totally worth the $400.17. $400 for medical, $.17 for the stove lol)

i love rediscovering your channel it was one of my favourites a few years ago

[@SharienGaming]

"whenever we do hello fresh i feel like i can cook" - and thats why i always say: everyone can cook at its simplest, its just following a recipe which usually is a set of simple instructions and trust me - anyone can do that... maybe you will mess up a bit, but that generally isnt a big deal, especially when the amounts are precise enough in the recipe (or as with hello fresh come pre-measured) and who knows... maybe once you have done that a couple of times...you start to experiment (and thats how cooking works ;) )

[@adamghahate3323]

best "hobo" thing ever, "hobo dinners" its just a hamburger "steak" and root vegetables (carrot, potato, onion, turnip, etc) cooked in a foil packet in an open fire. all the veggies cook in the burger fat/juice, all the flavors just meld, and its super easy to do.

[@benstarbuck2425]

I can't be the only one that saw the insulation in that bus and wondered if any of it was going to catch fire. The entire episode I just felt my skin crawling. Maybe it's because I know enough firefighters to be concerned, or the fact that as a former boy scout, I'm extremely safety conscience. But just... WHY would you even wear flip flops Brian! By this point, I feel as though death is just standing behind them WAITING. Just sitting there reading a LIFE magazine. But in all seriousness, this is actually really really cool. This one is going into the survival bag for me.

In Jason's defense. The underside of cans i usually shaped a little bit differently, therefore a can opener sometimes won't work as well.
