Survival Kit for the Stanley Cook Set

[@WayPointSurvival]

The Stanley cook set is made just that much better with the addition of a survival kit! Thank you so much for watching and please leave a comment in the section below!

[@WhatdoyouthinkwithJaJafoxx]

stanley cook set is always my fav.

[@WayPointSurvival]

@@WhatdoyouthinkwithJaJafoxx Thank you!

[@OldNavajoTricks]

I carry mine in a pathfinder pouch clone, couple of space blankets fit down the sides to pad it nicely, and the pocket at the front is a good size. I really should throw up a video to add to the myriad Stanley carry vids some day.

[@WayPointSurvival]

That would be very cool! If you do make a video on it, make sure and send me a link.

[@robertliepe6766]

👍💯😎

[@foxybrown1g]

FOR WOUND CARE: You could add a small tube of Neosporin inside the kit. It would take some shifting around but I think it would fit. It would, of course, have to be the small/mini travel size tube. Having a wound, while out and about , is no fun and having an infected wound is even worse.

[@Majestic12.111]

Way point survival is the best survival channel on youtube!

[@WayPointSurvival]

Wow! Thanks so much!

[@HuplesCat]

Stanley really needs to have you as an official partner. You have probably done more for the sales than anyone else! I say this in a good way Another awesome survival idea

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thank you, I really appreciate it!

[@tommozingo4761]

I cannot believe how many things you've been able to come up with. Must say, this is one of my favorites. Thank you for your efforts in this. I had a Stanley set-up already but these videos have helped me take it to the next level.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@AggyGoesOutdoors]

This channel is rapidly becoming one of my favourites, a great find when you find that geart that fits together perfectly. 👏🏼👍🏼🙏🏼

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thank you for watching and for the kind comments!

[@EatsTreatsMREs]

I agree with this, some great stuff.

[@dwayneard2099]

Great kit. You could glue a small piece of sandpaper to the bottom of the tin to use as a striker/ hook/knife sharpener

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thank you. Glad you liked it and thanks for the ideas!

James Stanley needs to hire you for add ons that they could sell for the Stanley cook set ! Awesome hack again.

One thing not mentioned, is that the can itself can be used to turn pieces of cotton bandana or blue jeans into char cloth.

I have the Larger Stanley set. Now you are making me think I have to come up with hacks for it 🤓

[@parttimewoodcrafter307]

You have some great ideas. I keep some instant coffee and cup-o-soup packets inside the green cup. Gives a bit of energy, and also a great morale boost.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Those are good options too. Thank you for watching!

[@zacwhite1368]

I do believe I have mine with me coming from Ohio down here to Texas about 30 mins from my delivery in the morning then turn n burn back so this is so “food for thought”on my mind because I’m always thinking of little kit ideas while I’m driving. Helps pass the time plus you videos help relax me from the hectic day lol

[@WayPointSurvival]

Great! Thanks for taking me along for the ride!

[@rulrich45]

Nice job on the survival tin. If it's in your cookset, then your cookset is part of the kit and you don't need the aluminum foil to boil water. Also, if you have a few extra bucks I would recommend the Leatherman Squirt PS4 instead of the Gerber. It's of comparable size and also offers scissors, pliers, a file and screwdriver blades. The pliers couild allow you to pick hot items out of the campfire.

[@WayPointSurvival]

The foil is so that the main kit can be left at camp with another person, while the small kit is placed in a pocket for rambling etc. Also, I always carry a multi-tool on my belt so I always have pliers etc. Thank you for watching!

[@stevenkreitlow8349]

Good one, James. Amazing what you can put in a small tin like that with a little thought. I have a couple of tins I need to measure. What an amazing cook kit. Thanks for all the ideas and videos about it.

[@WayPointSurvival]

My pleasure. Thank you so much for watching.

[@cnybanditoutdoors]

I just picked up an Adventure Cookset a couple days ago! I also decided to pick up the Stanley Boil and Brew the same day after I discovered that they can nest together with or without the brew insert! ( brew top will have to be separate but will all still fit in the condor style pouch. I also picked up a couple things for some mods and hacks today. Your hack videos for this set are second to none!! I hope to do one or two of my first KZbin Videos very soon and will be on this topic. Thank you for all you do for this channel!

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thank you so much!

[@robertryden8036]

One other item if you need more would be a small spool of unwaxed dental floss. It is compact about 40 lb strength, and cheap I've used it for fishing, repairs, snares, and yes for sutures on big wounds. 😮 I do a lot of outdoor activities as a civilian, A N D as a Marines "Doc."

[@WayPointSurvival]

Excellent points, thanks for watching!

Excellent little kit James. I have 2 tins similar to that, they had chocolate coated coffee beans in them. I was wondering what I could use them for...well now I wonder no more. It's going right into my Stanley Cook set.

Very cool!

Good job I have a similar kit but it’s in the the condor pouch with another pouch hooked to it. This is the most compact I’ve seen. Thanks for some new ideas.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thank you for watching and you're welcome!

[@johndoogan3712]

Hi James. There is one item which can be added which is the plastic flint and striker wheel from some disposable lighters. This takes a standard lighter flint by unscrewing the plastic cap with spring which becomes a source of sparks. A good idea here is to look at the British SAS escape ration pouch or the BCB survival tin contained in a 50 gram tobacco tin.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thanks for watching and for the suggestions!

[@steveturner3999]

Love your presentations. Your tone, diction and projection make it very easy to follow your presentation. I love the minimal editing too. Just when I thought I had my Stanley cook set pimped out you add another option. Very comprehensive kit. Lots of comments about changing this or that and that’s great. Everyone can customize as they see fit. As shown, your kit is as good as any pre filled tin survival kit on the market. Thanks for sharing.

[@WayPointSurvival]

The amazon link is for very small tin containers, 1.3 in. Diameter. An icebreakers mints short round plastic container works but is not snug to the sides of the container and not waterproof. Also, a talenti icecream container fits inside with lid, to use for cold soaking (instead of the cup). Thanks for these videos!! I love the Sanley Cook set Hack Series!!!

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thank you. I will check the link and see if I can't find the right tin for it. Glad you're enjoying the videos!

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thank you for watching the video and for the great ideas!

[@mannihh5274]

Wow! -incredible useful items in a very small pack. Still room for improvement: a) if you carry Exactor and utility blades, there's no need for a hacksaw blade as a striker for your ferro-rod - replace it by an alcohol wipe b) double up the mirror and drill a hole in the center to make it a true signal mirror c) after bending (flattening the pan) aluminium, don't forget to heat it up to soften it, or it will break when you try to open it up again d) wrapping sewing needles with duct-tape I always found very annoying, you don't get the residue off the needle in the field - so I first wrap the needles in a small piece of waxed paper Stay safe and take care

[@blackdevildog6416]

The best and, I believe, the intended way to use a pocket chain saw is to use a pliable stick to form a handle, much like a hacksaw. Try it this way and you'll begin to appreciate the saws a lot more. Just be sure to notch the stick where the keyrings will sit.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Yes, that does help a lot with those small rings.

2 Thumbs Up - as this kit is versatile without spending hundreds. The small tin you speak of is about $0.50 USD on, Amazon - I obtained a similar one with English Sweets (Candy in America or Lollies for us Aussies) in a Xmas Hamper. I would add a small cloth bag to carry the kit in assuming you have no other bag/s.

I'm a new subs, Excellent Video! Definitely a home run! I would put in a small amount of Potassium permanganate. It takes very little to sanitize water and would go a lot further than the two H2O tabs you got. It will also be handy for it's first aid properties and fire starting.

[@gregoryfrolov2537]

James...I've seen a few times those "solar stoves" where apparently if you lay it down, and put some dry tinder on it that apparently it's made at "the perfect angle" to where it will catch the suns rays, and combust the tinder into a flame. it seems like a good idea to have one for survival scenario's incase you run out of stuff to light a fire with, but it almost seems too good to be true. could you maybe do a short show, n tell in a video of theese, and tell the pro's, and cons of them... or if they even work at all?

[@FoodieAu]

the survival tin idea is the main reason i wound up searching for a way to incorporate a way to boil water incorporated into it ...mostly because those altoid tins never provide a way to cary or boil water or cook lol ... whilke this total set wont fit in your pocket its a wonderful item for your car when not in your pack:)

[@WayPointSurvival]

For shelter, would a space blanket and a hand warmer fit inside the green cup? Stick the warmer in an armpit and wrap up in the blanket.

Instead of carrying a wire saw, there might be enough room to roll up a bucksaw blade inside the tin. It does take some setup to use and you need a knife or something to make a bucksaw, but it'd be a supremely useful tool.

[@WayPointSurvival]

That would be a good option for those that have the skill to make one. Thank you for watching and for your suggestion!

[@jerrybobteasdale]

I think the whole thing should go in a dry bag. The bag carries the kit, but also serves for water procurement. The bag can hold the contents of the Stanley pot, while the pot is being used on a fire.
