Pretty genius hack. Bravo to the guy who figured that out.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Indeed, thanks for watching!

[@TerminusVox]

I would have thought them being double-walled for insulation would have been a desirable feature.

[@ShamSham519]

And I think def it is! The cup can still be used as intended, but if a 3rd or 4th cup is needed, at least it’s an option! :) but yes one would have to sacrifice the double walled insulation when using the additional cups

[@wanderingranger4208]

Plus you can only boil enough water for 2 cups at a time, if I was expected to supply hot drinks and food for 4 people I’d take a bigger set, it’s a clever trick don’t get me wrong but I think using it a few times you will realise you’ve ruined 2 good cups for 4 cups that cool really quick

[@WayPointSurvival]

All you have to do is stack them back together and you have your insulated cup back again.

[@JoeZUGOOLA]

I find hot drinks are always too hot! 😅 Some times I have to wait for a hours fory flask to cool down and wish it would just not be as insulated..

[@akadventurer7563]

Some of you are missing the point here... Its not a 4 cup set if you dont want it. Do one and get 3 cups. OR, what I see, you get 2 cups in the space that one took before. Still a 2 cup set, with a Lot more space available. Also, the minute thickness difference in them really shouldn't lose much insulation... not much there to start. Personally I'd have to find those cups to do the mod... They were so bulky I never ever used them ever once, took them out and threw them into storage somewhere... There are several GSI mugs that nest beautifully, just clip the loop handles off.

[@norsefalconer]

For those that add the Ozark Trail SS Cup on the bottom, here's a tip: Obtain a thin cozy, like the promotional give-away ones. Put it on the Stanley cup, then slide on the Ozark cup. It will fit snug enough to not slip/fall off. This is easier to use than a band, eliminates jangling, and keeps soot/dirt on the bottom of the Stanley from getting into the Ozark.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Yes, I added that in one of the earlier hacks on this set. It's a good idea.

[@norsefalconer]

@@WayPointSurvival Thanks. I believe I was the one that suggested it to you some time ago, lol. Glad it's worked out. I was just throwing it out there again for anyone that may have missed it 😉

[@Beehashe]

Another way to smooth out the edges is to put tin foil in a frying pan over heat then put the cup lip side down and the heat melts the lip flat and smooth.

while i like this in theory. the double wall provides for insulation (i think). But I will have to look at doing this.

[@WayPointSurvival]

All you have to do is put them back together and you have an insulated cup again.

[@col.cottonhill6655]

@@WayPointSurvival as long as the air stays sealed inside I don't see how it wouldn't stay insulated

[@WayPointSurvival]

The insulation is from the dead airspace between the 2 cups. I don't believe there ever actually was a vacuum.

[@HarshmanHills]

@@WayPointSurvival and that’s why I put I think lol. But awesome hack my friend

[@carlosspeicywiener7018]

It's not the double wall, it's the sealed space that it creates. Like double pane windows. Heat/cold has trouble moving through dead air. In the old days they were even vacuum sealed, not sure if it made a difference.

[@rebeccasilveous8898]

I must say you're pretty ingenious to have solved that issue with the Stanley cups. I cut one of mine apart like you showed and it made two cups so I put it in my Stanley camping equipment. I used the other one for watering my dog. I haven't cut it apart yet but I might later on. That was the best hack I've seen so far. And what I do is I put my MSR burner inside with the two cups cut apart along with a lighter and I add a washcloth on top and pack it down. Put the lid on and insert it inside a koozie or what "Shug" (Sean Emery) calls a "Cozy!"

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thanks, glad you liked it!

[@inspired4more]

I really like this one. I took the 2nd cup out long ago so I could fit my stove and gas can inside. Works fine when I'm alone, but now I can still have 2 cups for when there's company, and it takes no extra space. Great idea!

👍 Great idea , especially for families , or hunting / fishing buddies . You unfortunately do lose the minor insulation the dead airspace gives you but these cups are not that big that a hot drink will get cold too quickly .

[@WayPointSurvival]

I believe it will still insulate a little bit even cut apart. Thank you so much for watching!

[@fookingsog]

You could still probably put a neoprene koozie around it for insulation, plus the neoprene is lightweight and compactible!!!

[@jasonjohnson6344]

I wish you would have told us where that lid comes from. Easier than trying to backtrack through your videos. For a more exact cut, I think that screwing a utility knife blade to a wood spacer the correct hight and rotating the cup would give a cleaner cut with less fuss to deal with after separating it into two. A very neat hack for sure.

[@dannydenham8141]

JASON I Found lid in sporting goods section of Walmart. Standard small mug lid.

[@WayPointSurvival]

I put a link to the video where I speak about the lids and the lids and the description box. There are actually a couple of lids that I found that will fit it. And, as another commenter stated, you can find one of them at Walmart. Also, a utility knife screwed into a wood spacer at the correct height would not cut through the plastic properly. It's too hard.

[@Vikingwerk]

@@WayPointSurvival hacksaw blade could be clamped to a spacer and the cup turned against it probably.

[@michiganmoto7687]

@@Vikingwerk just mount the cup on your lathe and spin it while holding the hacksaw blade to it. Perfect cut every time.
