Survival Container Made From Bottle Tops

[@jonnyboat2]

You have a creative mind and spirit like your Father. You inspire others. Thanks Lonnie.

[@arctodussimus6198]

The hot water idea is genius! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@bashfulbrother]

Lonnie and Connie, your videos are always so peaceful and calming. Reminds me of being a kid on the farm.

[@aaronjohnson3811]

Just want to say thank you Lonnie for taking the time to make these great videos. I am a man who has little money to spare. And your videos helped me out numerous times. Thank you again.

[@robertfoote3255]

A long, long, long, time ago....my grandfather told me that there is no feeling like making "something" from what many consider "nothing"..... 🤔 That message came from a man who raised his family during the "Great Depression".... Had so many home made things.. it was amazing. This video reminds me of him... something from almost nothing... 😃😃 Thanks for today's smile... Best Wishes! 😉

[@dominicdecaro3757]

[@kjuyfif]

Great idea and vid, loved the music and the view above the tree tops! Thanks you two!! God bless.

[@speedthetroutguy1468]

Thank you Lonnie you are always making something cool for us all to enjoy keep the videos coming and will keep learning. God bless

[@kjvacp]

Yes! I have 4 of these. I glued a used prepaid visa card (without the raised numbers) between them so i have 2 compartments in each container. I carry my salt and pepper in one. Sugar in another. Etc....

[@GiorgioAresu]

I'm stealing this idea :) I didn't even know why I was watching this, now I know :) what kind of glue did you use for it to be food-safe?

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Great idea!

[@performanceregina]

Superglue (cyanoacrylate) Krazy glue etc is food-safe... also works good for emergency first-aid in place of stitches

[@sosteve9113]

Same here,I use a piece of a milk jugs

[@MuskratOutdoors]

@@performanceregina I've used it for that. I was told that was the original use of the stuff, but I'm not sure it's true. Kinda stings, but works great!

[@scottanthony1616]

Hello Lonnie & Connie, glad to see another video from Y'all, hope you're doing well, thank you for the small project to do, I'll have to make some soon, have a wonderful week and God bless you and your Family always. 🇺🇸💞🌸💞🇺🇸👼🏻👼🏻

[@WIZ-IN-PA]

That is a great idea for a small storage container! Thanks Lonnie! Take care.

[@blackhatbushcraft]

A great little project that renders something quite useful from something that otherwise would be discarded. I could use making a couple of these myself. I also think my youth group may enjoy this project. I really appreciate all you share my friend! That clip at the beginning 0:42 (looks to filmed with a drone) was absolutely beautiful! God bless you Lonnie and Connie.

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

A lot of people apparently use used up debit or gift cards to place in between the two halves and by so doing, create a container with two halves. Handy for something like salt in one side and pepper in the other side. Yep it was a drone that recorded that video clip. Hopefully I will get better with teh drone and videoing with it over time.

[@NixonBushcraft]

I always get excited to watch a video from a bushcraft veteran🙂 thank you for existing man!

[@WinStunSmith]

No doubt! He’s probably forgotten more about bushcraft and survival, than I’ll ever know.

[@christianemaasjost]

I have been watching all of your great videos for quite a while, but never knew how to comment. Now I do :). Again, thank you and keep on doing so! Love to see more adventures from you and your lovely wife Connie!

[@fredthorne9692]

Great idea. To make Super Glue cure instantly sprinkle sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) on both sides of the glued seam. It hardens instantly.

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

Yes I have been using the baking soda trick since back in 2000. I use to use that trick to build up nicks and dings in my composite propeller on my ultralight aircraft. I would build up the dings that way and then file them smooth with a file.

[@fredthorne9692]

@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival Ultralight! I was wondering how you got those aerial shots of the cabin. 😛

[@RustyGunn7]

Nice project. Pretty good container. One can use smaller soda bottles to create a smaller version. Thanks for this tutorial. Yes, I did kearn something.

[@madmartigan8774]

Always something new to learn on your channel. Thanks for sharing Lonnie.

[@cmanofthewoodscentralus3217]

Mighty fine job there. Thanks for sharing your your video with us today.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Excellent container. Thanks for the knowledge! God bless!

[@noscript5003]

I have made these with my daughter, they work really well. So many wouldnt know about this so 👍

[@jwaterous224]

Cool up cycle / reuse of common containers! Fairly easy little time project for anyone with rudimentary tools and fifteen minutes to spare. Thanks Lonnie and Connie!

[@astrorad2000]

Thank you Connie and Lonnie. I live my vicarious wilderness life through folks like you . I live in a city between Chicago and Milwaukee, but I do take some precautions for hard times that may occur. Keep them coming and love the life you live.

[@bugnfront]

I just came back from Home Depot. Bought some carbon felt. Watched another of your vids yesterday. Guess what I am working on right at the moment....lol Since most people dont understand off grid living, they should know that as the old clichet goes. "nessessity is the mother of invention" that when you need something you make it out of what you have and learn to be creative while you do it! No five minute drive to a store like a 7-eleven. lol My nearest town is a hour drive away....on a clear day!

[@samuelluria4744]

What are you making with the carbon felt??

[@aksalaman4689]

Another day in paradise for sure. Thanks for all you do.

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Great idea Lonnie. I can think of a lot of uses for that. I never thought about the hot water test either.....good idea, and good video!

[@tonybelisle423]

Love your channel so much It has been a dreame of mine to visit Alaska for as long as I can remember but no one will go with I want to live out in the wilderness for a week just to see a peace of it's beauty

[@macdermesser]

Clever idea. Keeps the mind active and the hands busy while producing a useful piece of free kit and reducing waste. Like all your videos, easy to digest and memorable. Just watching them is almost like doing the projects. Good work!

[@markatkinson614]

🌺Wow LONNIE.. WHAT AN AERIAL droneSHOT ! Hey , any concrete flat surface works to sand stuff down too. Love your skills . And the MRS TOO.. CARIBOU STEW NITE VIDEO Was Sounding Good.. I do a shorteib beef stew. ! YEEHAW.

[@texashillbilly6148]

The drone footage is amazing! Thanks for showing us how to make the container. You are the embodiment of the old saying "Where there's a will, there's a way!"

[@darrenwallingford7560]

very good thanks for sharing

[@darrenwallingford7560]

how do i give a thumbs up, i see the thumbs below the video but if i click on it it does nothing, then if i leave a comment the thumbs apear after i left a comment stil wont work. thank you

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

Perhaps your web browser needs updating. Worth a try anyway.

[@tome7323]

Lonny we always learn somthing from you 👍👍👍

[@markgibbs904]

I love making useful stuff out of trash. Great idea, will have to make one.

[@davidwelsh1487]

oh that life could be understood...…. thanx so much for yr share to others .. thnk u L and Cny .. u hav shared so much more than u know.. … see you after this time...I will see you in the timeless …

[@mozobrain]

Thank-you Lonnie, and love your new opening !

[@stewartrv]

Great idea, thanks for the tip! Just had a go using slightly smaller lids and will glue to some clear flat plastic from a takeaway container lid. This will act as a separator and so I can have salt one side and pepper the other. I guess we could also glue a bunch in line to take many spices.

[@tonynapoli5549]

Well there is always something to learn from you Lorrie and Connie thank you for sharing this video, hit a day off tomorrow guess what I’m making !!!! Thank you both God Bless 👍👌👋🇬🇧

[@VE3FAL1Fred]

Awesome video Lonnie and Connie. Great use for bottles and recycling portions of them as well, light weight containers for small items. Cheers Fred

[@aktrapper6126]

Brilliant idea, Salt and pepper containers.

[@sjurgabriel]

Thank you for the idea. The earth needs us to resycle. I´m still good with my old film-containers so far.

[@samuelluria4744]

Sjur Gabriel Hasselgård - I only have a few of those left, sadly...

[@leefra1]

Thanks L&C, nice job!

[@MichaelR58]

Lonnie, thanks for sharing, great to hear from you again, atb my friend.

[@ks7989]

Was looking for a fuel container to fit inside my fiancee feast alcohol burner like the one you made. This could be just the ticket as long as the fuel doesn't eat thru the glue. Thanks for your low/no cost solutions and consistently good bushcraft tips.

[@XaraStarsixseven]

Hi Lonnie & Connie ✌😄💓 I can't wait to try this new project! Thanks for another grand idea🤗

[@DaveA1051]

Great way to repurpose plastic bottles, I’ll be making some of those for sure. Thanks for sharing!

[@pnyarrow]

Hi Lonnie - not the first time I have seen this but never so well explained with so much attention to deatail. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe. ATB. Nigel

My bro I made so of them from coke bottles tops they woke great I gave some to a friend for his birthday day he said he think they are cool may God bless your family

Made a couple of these a few years back, and they're still holding up just fine. Excellent tutorial, great piece of DIY gear.

[@markpoore3260]

Beautiful country Lonnie keep them videos coming

[@naturecallsoutdoors]

Great tip. Been meaning to so that for a while we just don't have a lot of plastic bottles

[@mootpointjones8488]

Recycling and a clever idea 👍

[@squirrel_bait]

This is an awesome video! What a great idea. Yeah, I read your description and I can see these as perfect for collecting pine resin. Absolutely. Seeds too.

[@tphvictims5101]

Thumbs up, and I’m checking in. Sweet Sweet project. Use up those plastic goodies. Re recycled.

[@Dan-yw9sg]

Very creative! I will have to make some of these to carry fire-starting materials To keep them dry! Thanks for sharing Lonnie and Connie! God bless!

[@thomasgold-1000]

That’s a fantastic gadget! 👍 Thank you...

[@adriansingline]

This is a great idea for creating a compact water proof device. In making it however, you destroyed 2 already water proof containers. I guess size does matter.

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

Yes size often does matter.

[@fourseasonsnorth]

Brilliant idea!

[@gstokely7]

That was amazing. Things you can do with recyclables. Thanks for sharing.

[@mrteargas8692]

Good steady hands for an older gent, Lonnie. Good to see. Thanks for vids.

[@Ed.T]

Like the idea and the leak test in particular. Thank you very much!

[@shackman9566]

Thank you Lonnie and Connie. I've actually done this before and also experimented with other type of bottles. If I find a unique bottle say of aluminum or plastic I'm always looking at how I might repurpose it. Also cans for different styles of alcohol stoves. A good channel to check out is intense angler John has some really good videos. Have a good day.

[@cephasmartin8593]

Good to see you again, Lonnie ... and Connie. What a great idea. I'll have to make a couple or three or four. Have a blessed day.

[@dawnnsaul373]

Love, lo6, love your new opening showing the beautiful snowy countryside at your cabin! Thanks for sharing. ❤❄

That is awesome! Thank you Connie for filming this😄 hahaha...just kidding Lonnie. Priceless knowledge. Every person who thumbed down this video...why?

[@351WINCHESTER]

I always enjoy your sharing your knowledge. I hope if anyone tries to make this they will be super careful. Medicine bottles make pretty darn good containers too as they are usually watertight. Take care and God bless. Ken

[@Plain-Ole-Chuck]

I had made these before long ago but had forgotten all about them.. thanks for the reminder !

[@kenholland7204]

Simple but effective. Cool trick Mr. Lonnie. Thanks for sharing. You and Mrs. Connie take care.

[@Shujinflik]

Seen this awhile ago in a life hack style video. If you put a plastic divider in between the two cut cap pieces you can use em for spices. I used juicy juice caps as we tend to have a few because of our kids. Great diy piece of kit. I used a dremel, some sand paper, and some hot glue to make mine.

[@michaelbrunner6654]

Great idea,gonna have to keep an eye out for a couple bottles. Always appreciate you sharing ideas and wisdom learned!

[@EatCarbs]

I never would have thought of that. Thanks for the video

[@tonyfelts1512]

Nice Lonnie.....using trash to make a multi purpose tool....awesome!

[@Lord-Snowflake]

Good job on the video. My go to fire starter container has always been an empty tin air rifle pellets come in. Always had a bunch laying around, and they last forever.

[@thomasmoller4375]

Great idea, thanks for sharing.

[@mat-ventures]

Really nice trick! Thanks Lonnie

[@bereantrb]

Fun project. I saw another variation of this once in which they put a piece of plastic in between the two halves, creating two chambers. He used it to store different spices on either side.

[@harrysbushcrat]

Thank you for sharing one of the great ideas. If I found some juice in a good size of the bottle, I'll buy two of them all the time. The other your idea for hanging cookers by the wire work is used by my most of camping with my tripod-bundle ring. By the way, the footage of drone is awesome. It really teases me to visit your state. Thanks again.

[@campervantics8305]

that's a really cool idea, iam on the lookout for some wide neck bottles now Lonnie, thanks for sharing pal.

[@PenntuckytheCrag]

Thx for this reminder Lonnie 👍🏻
