Amazing Hobo Stove Tool by Siege Stoves - Ultimate Survival & Camping Gear!

[@SIEGESURVIVAL]

Great video James -- thank you so much! You covered all the steps perfectly. To keep prices low we sell the Cross-Members with or without the polypropylene sheath. On their own they come in a simple cloth bag to keep them together, but the sheath is much more durable (like everything else we make, we make them using top-grade US-produced materials -- in this case heavy-duty marine-grade webbing, Velcro and thread). As a small surprise bonus, we will be including a complimentary P-38 can opener with every set of Cross-Members, so that your viewers will have a complete survival tool that makes it possible to open a can and quickly turn it into a high-powered stove (after emptying the contents into a pot or pan). The Cross-Members have been perfected over time to fit almost every common can, including quart and gallon paint cans as well as the popular stainless steel IKEA cans (the only can that isn't a good fit is Progresso's proprietary soup can). The add-on Side Toasters and Folding Grills work with cans and the Gen 4 Flat-Pack Stove. Thanks again James!

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thanks so much for the info and the opportunity to film this and help to promote it. I really appreciate it!

🎉🎉 Great video and Product! Great idea in upgrading a Church key and Galvanized steel tape strips.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Thank you for the extra information! The tips about the IKEA can and the 'heads up' about the Progresso Soup can are very helpful.

[@craigeckhoff99]

Former 50 of 74 years a hobo. Excellent. This device is the best idea since sliced bread. I've used a few rocks under a can stove for a better base. A few lengths of wire clothes hanger thru my top holes for a pot/pan rack. But as a almost weightless conversion kit this is top shelf.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Absolutely! They knocked it out of the park with this one!

[@DevilDog0311]

@@craigeckhoff99 how did you survive …,all the hobos I seen in Saturday morning cartoons were drunken bums…I live in Hawaii … we don’t got and never had bum problems until San Francisco started sending their bums to us on one way tickets

[@DevilDog0311]

@ Hawaii became a state in 1959 but the monarchy of Hawaii was overthrown in 1899 I believe ( i get close years mixed up sometimes due to RL short term memory loss from a severe head injury Marine Barracks Guam was formed in 1899 too so it’s possible I’m mixing up years) some white men descendants of Boston missionaries basically overthrow our monarchy and handed Hawaii to the US to get around a 2 cent tax on sugar made outside the US .. we had railroads going almost around the island but the 1940’s and 1960’s tsunamis put a end to the railroads on my island .. I think people here did not do the hobo thing because we don’t got the land mass like the mainland and ppl here will recognize a person and know they are part of the billy Bob family and that person who’s being a hobo will bring shame on their family ( honor is not something to be messed with in Hawaii ) those are the reasons I think no hobo’s were ever here ( besides the sea provides fish and the mountains wild pork ) so hobo’s never flourished here

[@goofyahhslimjackson1942]

What was the farthest you travelled at a time? Did you have like a van or just went on foot and tried to catch a train?

[@craigeckhoff99]

@@goofyahhslimjackson1942 Almost always caught a freight train. A few times every year caught the Burlington Northern from the North Town yard in Minneapolis MN to Seattle WA. About 2000 mile trip. Would stopped in Havre MT yard to refuel then headed on out. Took about 2 to 4 days depending on if it was an hot shot ( express freight ) or a local ( mixed freight with numerous stops to add or remove cars ). Wasn't much to stop for after Fargo ND because ranch work was about all you could get until Spokane WA. The ranches paid only once a month at the time and I preferred daily pay when possible.

[@jasonjohnson6344]

I’ve bought several of these, also have given them as gifts. Customer service is outstanding. Very heavy duty and will last a lifetime.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Indeed!

[@xcalibertrekker6693]

As long as you have the right sized can around just when you need it.

[@bornontherimofchaos]

@xcalibertrekker6693 I'm getting a bug out kit for my car. A can is one of the first things I have. This kit will fit in the can along with a few other small things that won't take up much space.

[@paulkennedy5021]

Nice idea for the guys who love the idea of sourcing a can for their stove. That sweet feeling of "This cost me nothing"

[@WayPointSurvival]

Absolutely!

[@kosfireandbushcraft]

anyone feels like being a hobo is the way in 2024? lot of skills and self-reliance and freedom.

[@WayPointSurvival]

There's definitely a lot that we can learn from them.

[@DevilDog0311]

@@kosfireandbushcraft to me those sterno bums were lazy drunks fighting over a can of sterno to get drunk .. they may fit in Australia where the men are always drunk

When i was 18 I got to work with I 1966 and old man cleaning offices as a janitor we worked 3rd shift after we would get done early we would sit in one of the offices with the lights low and he would tell me stories of when he was a hobo he started in1922 at the age of 14 some off his stories were so real I could almost hear the train whistle he stopped at the age of 26 i wish he would have wrote a book he would roll up a cigarette with one hand before he started i really enjoyed his stories every night I felt like I was there with him.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Wow, that's really cool.

[@bornontherimofchaos]

This kit would be a great addition to a car bug out bag. Thanks for sharing!

[@WayPointSurvival]

You're welcome!

[@raytribble8075]

That is a cool tool! My grandfather taught me how to make a “hobo stove” he called it a “can cooker” back in the late 60’s. He told some crazy stories of riding the trains from Texas out to California to work on the farms back during the depression. I lost count of how many I made with a bottle opener can punch (dated myself there) just like he showed me 55 years ago. I have to order one of these. Thank you for sharing and making another informative video sir.

I have the full siege stove, including these stand, cross member and puncture bits. I didn't get a case just for these flat bits though. That's really handy because those puncturing bits are sharp! I haven't yet made my own hobo stove, but you have inspired me to James! Great video as always!

[@thegreyghost2789]

That could be used in combination with the various titanium twig stoves currently on the market. In a disaster scenario, you might have a stove in your kit along with this tool but you might lose your stove or you come across others who have nothing. There are endless possibilities for the addition of a few extra ounces. Or, for the ultra, use it alone.

Exactly, there are so many different ways to use this!
