Someone is trying to scam folks and telling them they have won a prize. I am not running a giveaway currently. Please do not give them any information. They have been reported to RU-vid. Thanks for watching and for your understanding!
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 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 😉
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
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
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.
All I can say is James bender . Is a good man . I had a problem with some one try to scam me and I called him at his way point survival number. And he was teaching a class and took the phone call and had a conversation with my girlfriend. And now I feel better. Thank you James. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts. Keep up the great work.
I've seen a lot of videos where people throw these great little cups away and just use the rest of that set. I never understood that, I love these cups, now I have reason to love them even more.
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!"
Using the hack saw so this qualifies as a true life hack LOL that was great! This is a very practical idea to use for the Stanley cook set! Thanks for all the wonderful ideas!
I absolutely love these Stanley 2 cup cook set hacks James!!!!! Thisbone especially, like you said you have your container and 3 cups!! Something so simple yet sssooo very effective! Thank you very much for whatnyou do for us and our community!!! Keep up the great work James!!
@@WayPointSurvival glad you deleted it!i hate people that thieve from us fighting to survive as it is man!hey i found a beautiful brand new cast iron ,steel cooking pot for four pounds in a charity shop ,my survival bug out bag is nearly ready thanks for all the precious wisdom you spread brother james we love u man TAKE CARE!
Thanks for another great Stanley cup hack. I've been using the Stanley cookset (in various configs) for almost 10yrs now. No way to justify purchasing anything to replace it.
@@johnsinclair3067 I wonder if a napkin would fit in that space? It could be used as dry paper to start a fire, or for when 'nature calls' behind a bush, lol!
Another ‘’Stanley Hack’’! Dang James I told you I can’t keep up! You are the King of Hacks and this Stanley Set has got to be in the top 5 of the most versatile camping accessories ever designed.
Well, found my next project. Love this hack. Had to get rid of one of my cups to have room for my stove in this kit. Might combine this with the silicone band hack to hold them together as a double insulated cup for when I'm solo.
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!
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.
Hello James. That was an outstanding hack that gives a lot of viewers something to think about whenever they have a Halo cup in their hand and need an extra cup for something or someone. So thank you for that hack it's a great idea, especially when we're out camping. 💯❤👍💪☝🇺🇸
👍 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 .
I never use the cups normally. They take up room that I could be using for other stuff. I've got 4 of them sitting in my cupboard. This hack might actually get me to use them. If I can get them to fit in there with an isobutane canister and my stove and sponge, I'll be in business. This hack series for the Stanley pot has been absolutely amazing. Great job with this!
Many many Stanley hack videos ago I thought, there really can't be any more hacks.... You continue to prove me wrong. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge!!
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.
What a fantastic 'hack' . Just wanted you to know how much I enjoy your vids. Not just foe the fantastic tips n hacks but also cuz you are so Positive and seem so really kind n decent. Thanks my Friend, stay safe, be Blessed.
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.
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.
My cups just sit in a box, very heavy to carry. I keep this stuff because someday i know someone will come up with a great idea. Cutting them like this and just carrying 1 of the 4 is a weight saver and makes a heavy cup into a lighter one. Like this hack. Now someone needs to invent a handle for my lightweight coffee cup😂 Thank you for the hack😊
that's cool, I went the opposite way, bought a stainless cup that fit's on the bottom of the cook-kit, and a plastic Chinese bowl that sits upside down on top of the kit. I carry all in a condor pouch with a U.S. canteen attached. Pretty handy.
James you made a funny hahaha that is a very nice and useful hack as all ways you come up with useful things to do with the items you have .God Bless my friend
Very cool ! You just increased the capabilities of anyone that buys that , by quite a bit . I have two of those kits , because they are so usefull . I think when I try it , I will use a Dremmel .
What great hacks! I got your joke about the hacksaw hack! . Usually I just use the green cups for a planters at home or office and use disposable paper cofee cups in the Stanley cook set....saves weight and .use two if the liquid is gonna be real hot. Always rinse out the used cup.. and get 3 to 5 uses each.and then it becomes fuel for the next fire or use it as the outside cup for heat. . carry about 5 or 6 cups. Also for really messy meals, I dont feel the need to clean.. Love your show! Keep it up!
Nice! Another option is to just use one cup, which is now two so there is plenty of room inside for other things, like an alcohol stove, it's fuel and aluminum foil folded wind screen.
Pretty cool! Of coure the insulating properties that the cups originally had is probably not there at all, anymore but, it's better to have 4 cups! Thanks for sharing!
got another hack for it. cut off the greenplastic tab on the lib and replace it with a metal keyring. about 1.5 to 2 inch dia. I used this cup with the lid in the coals of a fire and there was a close log and it started to melt the plastic tab. and so i put a key ring on it. works great. thanks for the video
Thank you for this video! Fairly ingenious! One could do this to one of the cups while keeping the other cup whole. One would then have three cups, one of which is insulated, and has a lid. Fascinating! Keep on rockin'!
Actually, all you have to do is stack the cups back together and it is insulated again. I do not think that the cups were vacuum sealed. So cutting them apart and then putting them back together doesn't change the effectiveness.
Outstanding! I think I have a pipe-cutter that will fit the cups. I'll try that way and, if it fails, I'll let you know. Double the versatility with no loss of function is a big win.
As I was watching the video, I said the same thing about using a pipe cutter. It would make a perfect cut. Then I thought about sliding an o-ring up the exterior of the inner cup, to maybe friction-fit the outer cup in place. Maybe I could fill the dead space in between with foam... This actually opens lots of possibilities. I suppose you could actually store stuff IN the cups, like condiment packs ( Ramen seasoning, lemon juice, honey, hot sauce).
A huge function of the Sealed double wall design is for Insulation. By doing this you now cups that will be hot/cold to the touch and won't keep anything hot/cold.
