Stanley Cook Set - Hack #3 - Handle Extension

[@WayPointSurvival]

This is handle hack that I came up with to solve the problem of how to get the Stanley Cook Set off the heat without using gloves or a multi-tool. It's easy to make and it involves bushcraft so what's not to love? Anyway, hope you enjoy the video and please leave me a comment in the section below!

[@Muggalomaniac]

Genius!

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thank you!

[@cocacolafiesta]

Genius! Why this 71 year old great-grandmother watches this stuff..I don’t know...but it’s fascinating, lol!

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thank you so much!

[@jackvoss5841]

I think that, for my use, the stick extension will be a more useful technique than hanging the pot over a fire. Thanks for the design ideas. I’ll be using a Littlbug Jr. twig stove. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

[@suecollins3246]

That was _God sent_ ! I have an almost identical gadget for my two little tin 'frying plates' and I've been pondering over how to extend it! Thank-You!

[@WayPointSurvival]

Glad you liked it!

That Stanley set was the best $3 garage sale money I ever spent!!now it's worth more

[@WayPointSurvival]

Wow! That was a good deal. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

Brother, I’ve been watching all these Stanley cook set hacks, all I can say is EXCELLENT! I love my Stanley cook set, but these will make it better! Outstanding!

[@WayPointSurvival]

Awesome, thank you! Glad you like them my friend!

[@TxGnomeAF]

Love it! Just bought one 3 days ago, can't wait to try this out.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Fantastic! Glad you like the hack!

[@chiefkirk]

James that was slicker than snot on a pump handle. I'll have to make one of those for mine. Thanks for sharing brother.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thank you, Chief!

[@ahorseman4ever1]

Great visual chief

Finally got to try the handel extension out this weekend. It was so easy to do and made life easier. Thanks for the help.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Excellent, glad you liked it and found it useful!

DUDE!!! 🤯 This hack is caveman simple old school awesome! One of the best Stanley Cook Set hacks ever! Keep the great vids/ideas coming buddy.

Thank you so much!

[@corbindallas1954]

This dude is a bushcraft boss. Glad I subscribed.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Awesome, thank you! And glad to have you on the team!

[@mrhalfstep]

Great Idea! BTW, I just made the fork and spoon that you designed that threads onto any pencil sized stick. Another terrific hack. I just drop them into the Stanley pot along with a fuel can and a tiny stove. The fork ended up being attached well enough that I feel I could use it as a frog or fish gig if I needed to. I sharpened the tines to use them for that, at least. We'll see.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Excellent! Glad it's working out for you!

[@faviolaandaya1079]

Wooow you are very creative! Thank you for this video and everything you do. 🇺🇸💕

You're welcome, thank you for watching and commenting!

[@diddybushcraftnoutdoors8072]

A sharpie could come in handy in the woods, ya never know. I haven't seen this exact hack but a similar one a few years ago, his was more of a fixed handle but I like this type because it's easy to put on and take off. What I like about these videos of yours is they are short and to the point without a lot not so exciting footage, just the important stuff. Thanks for sharing.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thank you so much!

[@songs1791]

This is one of many hacks for this cook set! I guess it's time for me to lean towards upgrading my homemade cook set to this one...Thanks for all the great tips!

[@WayPointSurvival]

You're more than welcome! More great hacks for this cook set on the way!

[@randywithofapt2660]

Thanks Sir. The basic, "make things happen" common sense stuff grabs my attention every time. and of course, you know.. I"ve become a big Stanley fan.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Excellent! They are great cookware for the money!

[@DougPalumbo]

Glad to see you making videos on this cook set. An excellent set that is nearly bulletproof!

[@WayPointSurvival]

More to come! Glad you like it!

[@diannew5264]

Very handy..I hate when I'm in the state forest camping and realize I really need that long grill tool at home.

[@MrTangent]

I use titanium gear mostly but have always admired the Stanley Cook Set. In any event, great hack and good work.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thank you!

[@gregamie-fong2755]

Good one James. The cookset is not around much here in Australia but I've bought one from the US. Looking forward to trying your hacks on it.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Excellent! It's a great cook set!

Cool bananas! Getting burnt whilst in the bush is always a risk and always inconvenient.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thank you, glad you liked it!

[@TNBushcrafter]

I love mine I have 2 that I've had for a long while. I do wish they would come out with a 2.0 version though. It really needs a flat bottom for a lot of stoves to work better. I understand the tapered corner is for ease of cleaning but I think I'd compromise that.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Agreed. If they would let me I'd love to help them re-design it!

[@trailtrashoutdoors8173]

Oh yeah!!! Keep the hacks coming for this coomset! Solid gold brother!

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thank you!

[@edclark4822]

You should do a video on how to get the sout off the outside of pots and pans after they have been on the camp fire. You know, dish soap on the outside of the pot before you use it. Works great for me.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thanks. I figured this was such a commonly known method that doing a video on it would be redundant.

[@nobodxy]

at first i thought the cuts for the notches were a little too deep but it looks to work out perfectly

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thank you!

[@larrykramer6057]

I'll probably have to do 5 sticks before I get it as good as yours, but I will tell myself that you had to do that also. Important to feel good about yourself.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thanks for watching, I did have to do it a couple of times.

[@jacquelinefunston7415]

I love your videos. I just watched another video regarding the Stanley Two Pot handle hack. But, when I decided to comment on it, I could not locate it again. So I will put my comment on this video. My question is, does the S-Biner handle become too hot to use, to lift the lid on and off for cooking purposes, and stirring food, once the pot has been on the fire for an extended period of time cooking? When food, water, etc., has came to a hard boil? I could see that it was easily lifted on and off, when the pot was still cool, but what about when it gets hot?

[@WayPointSurvival]

No, because it's in the center of the pot and away from the heat and flames. I've not had any trouble lifting it off the pot because of heat.

[@survivorjohnny44]

Very clever

[@WayPointSurvival]

[@jimpurcell]

Awesome

[@fredscott1702]

Would it not also be possible to cut and bend a small piece of aluminum pipe, just long enough to clear the cup handle by approx. 1 1/4". Make the cuts in the pipe w a grinder, dremel, hacksaw and file, etc. Bend the cup end into the wedge shape we want, with large pliers. The result is small, lightweight and all the carving one needs to do is to trim a stick to fit inside the handle end of the pipe.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Yes, you could do that. Thanks for watching.

The length measurement you showed is a cubic, would almost bet you already knew that . 😉

[@UuddlerLeRoyBaStart]

OR.... you can use what you used in a video, a while back. Carry a small hose clamp with you, clamp the stick to the handle.

[@WayPointSurvival]

That is a great suggestion, good thinking outside of the box!

[@UuddlerLeRoyBaStart]

@@WayPointSurvival well, these are your ideas. I've been thinking about how to use hose clamps, ever since. Multi-functional kit. Great vids.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thank you, it just goes to show you that a person can't think of everything. I've learned so much from my subscribers.

[@UuddlerLeRoyBaStart]

@@WayPointSurvival Y-shaped stick, with the fork, against the pot, I'm thinking. And the clamp. Should do it.
