Super Portable Walking-Stick Wood Stoves 

Yep, similar to a hobo stove

@@Nighthawkinlight do be aware that there is only a certain number of times you can use #10 size cans before they disintegrate. used them for survival all the time for boiling water and after 15ish times they would burn thru or crack. i give each one of those about 10 max uses before they need to be replaced. maybe try using a stamped steel bucket much like they use for cooking and that should last plenty long enough.

Nice. One problem you will run into is quick soot build-up in the small stovepipe. Combined with the tent stake, the draft will be reduced fairly quickly - quickly, as in a few uses, I think. Next video: how to make a mini chimney sweeper.

@@FLPhotoCatcher Shove a small bough in it

@@Nighthawkinlight One negative side with the open-bottom design is that it tends to draw moisture from the ground if it's very damp or wet. I guess it could be rectified by using small pebbles between the moist ground and fire as a barrier. How much the moisture affects the flame and it's temperature, i do not know but i have read that making fire directly on the wet ground should be avoided if possible. As a sidenote, i would not be worried with the soot build-up. Cleaning stove pipe can offer nice little tinkering to do because no-one should be in a hurry while camping/hiking. All in all, nice and very easy to do designs!! :)

Probably why he under a tree and not in a tent 😂😂😂

What a memory you sparked I’m 58 and still remember my 90 year old grandmother who lived in Anderson Indiana during the Great Depression near a junction station of the rail road. I was old enough to remember her little old house with a alley in back. Simple wood floors a old round topped refrigerator and stove and very little in that frig to eat My mother told me the stories of how she would take the hobos in feed them or mend their clothes Something about that era I think also somehow gave me the same desire as a kid to live the adventure of hittin the road jumping rail road trains I’m sure there were evil and bad people then but I’m also sure it’s nothing like it is now. Today it’s drugs and gangs vs alcohol and the moral fabric of even a drunk is somehow worse My short story different then yours but I also share that odd same desire This old song always went so well with it as to me it still does today. U tube King of the Road By Roger Miller Trailers for sale or rent Rooms to let for .50 cents No phone no pool no pets I ain’t got no cigarettes Ah, but, two hours of pushin' broom Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room I'm a man of means by no means, king of the road Third boxcar, midnight train, destination Bangor, Maine Old worn-out suits and shoes I don't pay no union dues I smoke old stogies I have found, short, but not too big around I'm a man of means by no means, king of the road I know every engineer on every train All their children, and all of their names And every hand out in every town And every lock that ain't locked when no one's around I sing, trailers for sale or rent, rooms to let, fifty cents No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain't got no cigarettes Ah, but, two hours of pushin' broom Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room I'm a man of means by no means, king of the road

What a wholesome story I'm glad your grandma was nice enough to feed them.

Hello Signal Hunter, have you seen the "illegal freedom" series on the RU-vid channel called "Shiey"? It's the next best thing to being able to do it yourself.

Thank you for sharing and please accept my *wholesome!!* award 🥇

That's a good point. I never noticed the camera work, which means to me that he put in so much effort to it.

Agreed, the camera work is top notch, and it's not this video, I'm ipressed by most of these videos!

He doesn’t post often, but when he does, you know you’re in for a treat

yes because it's so practical to carry a large heavy pipe in the woods. this is just cool. it's very unpractical and doesn't work. sure it looks nice on a static youtube video. good luck hiking carrying that shit around for some km. needs to be collapsible or something...

@@riskinhos You understand that he uses the pipe as a walking stick, right?

Ideal for nesting cooking pots into the main stove can.

@@riskinhos No reason it can't be made in sections. It's a DIY concept. For anyone that makes it, I would assume modification to suit their needs. That pipe probably isn't all that heavy(thin wall steel), but could be made even lighter if another material was use. I don't see back packer types being so interested as I see hunter types being interested. I have seen the back country stoves that they pack in when out in the bush for a couple weeks and the weight isn't going to be much different. If someone is willing to spend a bit more, can always buy some thin wall titanium tube off mcmaster to reduce the weight a bit.

@@riskinhos Walking sticks make walking long distances easier. If you're going on a hike for a few hours, try it with a walking stick and without. You might be surprised at the difference. Hell, you could even use a pair of walking sticks like some old secondhand ski poles, and you'll have a great time. Basically, it actually really is practical to carry "a large, heavy pipe" in the woods, provided it's got the right dimensions to use as a walking stick. It's effectively weightless when it's touching the ground, which is going to be pretty much all of the time.

Alternatively, you could build a small A-frame and suspend it with some metal wire, if you know you’ll find branches

You could use the triangular flower holders they use in cemetery's

You guys realize that you're going to carry the thing right? A piece of bailing wire is lighter than any of the previous solutions. String will ignite from the chimney pipe.

@@mikeries8549 or you could make a pile of dirt outside the shelter and lay the pipe on it and if you set the stove over the hole you take the dirt from you can burn larger longer lasting pieces of fuel and when your done and packing up just shove the dirt back into the hole so it smothers any remaining coals three birds with one stone

Or maybe just a stick stuck in the ground with a little y shape to it to hold the pipe. Then you don't have to bring anything with you.

The lid would provide a rather decent press-fit seal for the chimney if you rigged it right as well. Good idea!

Enormously easier to find a new paint can than a food can.

Another great mod idea.

@@joewoodchuck3824 depends on where you live. i myself share trash room with an resturant and can get tens of cans per week for free. interestingly, last year when i was experimenting with different stoves while camping, they had put some used frying oil in the dump too! i made a chimney out of ~5lbs cans and the stove got pretty warm! used rockstoo. next time i will be focusing more on isolation, perhaps insulated with air by double tarps

So long as the paint can isn’t galvanised!

heck even just a rod, just drill one side of the chimney and don't go through to the other

Just do it! These memories can't be bought. You will forever be grateful about those times when your dad isn't around anymore.

Telescopic Tube

@@alexwoon9354 bless

@e causey the aluminium isn't involved in cooking at all in his idea. Its just the smoke pipe. You don't put the flame in direct contact with it and you don't actually touch the food with it either

Foil tubes as in dryer vents, in a direct flame may burn holes quickly. The more sold tube as shown in the video will last longer. Test and use this system at home or in a controlled environment. They can and will get extremely hot. You use too much fuel and glowing red will light up your life.

HaHaHa! Walking around like you stole a mailbox!

One truly great little stove... ingenious thanks for sharing this with us 😁👍

Same

same, there's an aspect of bushcraft and survival that i yearn for in my city life lol, and youtube's done a great job at fulfilling that need

I need to replay gunpoint.

Somehow every thumbs up gets it but I can’t see it. Want to as I know your onto something but I don’t understand the jerking and how it’s turning the flame ? Are you talking about a dampener ?

Thanks for the tip

You can move the can with a stick by hooking into the door opening or onto the tent stake

Good idea but unfortunately it won’t work because smoke would leak out like crazy since it’s just a coiled up spring.

@@CreatorCade I was more of thinking that after a few fires the tar from the smoke will stop it from collapsing back down.

@@CreatorCade The gaps are actually relatively small. If there's good airflow I imagine it could actually work because the flow would drag the smoke with it

The "holes" at the segment ends will have next to no effect. As long as the pipe is angled high enough (30 deg or more should do) no smoke will escape from the joints. However, the joints might have a slight effect on the draft (air being pulled over the fire through the stove door), as some air will be sucked into the chimney through them instead. Again, I doubt these effects would be noticeable. The telescoping chimney is definitely a good idea, allowing the entire device to be easily packed.

Try Henry hover pipe it's cheap and just pushes together

I would think a cheap stove jack could be made using a silicone pot holder with a small soup can affixed to it. The pipe could be centered in the soup can with screws.

I've done a little of that before. See my grass rope videos. I may do more primitive skill videos in the future

Chop, Look up ‘’Bush Craft’’ videos. Also “Primative Technology” and then double check the fit on your socks. They are about to be knocked off.

@@evelbill1439 I've seen them before, and I do enjoy them, however many of them don't really show the full process or aren't detailed enough to follow on your own. Though NightHawkInLight is very good at describing his process and material choices as well as showing what is best for different types of situations, so I feel that he would make great survival tutorial videos.

Chop Like how to make a stone knife and carve a stove out of wood? Where the hell do you live?

wouldnt need to be airtight, if the seams are running in the right direction.. since smoke rises, and the tube causes a fast, upward current..

i was also wondering if a smaller tube could work.. in which case, a real metal hiking stick (telescopic or not), could be used instead.. if somehow the handles or other plastic parts are removed

Vacuum cleaner pipe. Cheap one that disconnects at the middle point.

Connect pop cans or other veggie cans for the flue

No real concern. Fire it once before using in a shelter and anything noxious will burn off.

@@Nighthawkinlight The chromium fumes is not the biggest problems, cans have a plastic coating on the inside of the can and sometimes also on the outside, the coating will burn off on the first use. The gasses from the plastic might not be very healthy.

...I know galvanized steel will put off bad fumes, but like he said, fire it a couple times and you should be fine. I've used these can stoves for 20 years. They are loads of fun
