Part Two All My Homemade Camp Cook Gear

hey everybody coming at you live from the gear room now I did part and one of my entire homemade camp cook gear collection there's no way it could have there's no way it could have fit all in one video it would have been a two-hour video it would been more like a movie so I did kind of the smaller basic stuff in the first one and in this second one what I'm gonna be doing is the really really cool fun stuff the really weird stuff now to start out with a couple of things on the what I call my bowl cooker for years and years and years I always thought to myself that at large stainless steel bowl will be very very handy and have multiple uses and over the years this has kind of stemmed into a four or five type of use for this bowl four or five items I mean four or five setups for my setup and its stemmed from years ago whenever we used to camp in swamps and wetlands or in the snow because we're going canoe trips because a lot of times when you're camping in a regular area you'll bump into other people but if you're camping in a swamp you've got peace and quiet people won't be there with you so my mentors used to bring a big hubcap and they would tie it from one tree to the next it didn't build a fire in it and sometimes make a little homemade grill over it or they would put rocks over it or put wood over it and lay cups over it or sit bowls in the fire and with this hubcap tied off to these four trees you know you didn't have to worry about the wet ground or the water or whatever and so that kind of stemmed the idea and my my head so let's take a look at my bowl Booker's here let's see what all that we have in the volca and then we're gonna go outside and set it up cuz I can't say the depth inside so now I've pulled it out of the bag what this thing consists of is a bowl and then here's a pan it's got some holes drilled in it now the cookware is optional whatever cookware you want to carry away that usually comes in my cook kit and then there's four little four little hangers or little rods then there's a solid looking a little shake thing here that's got like an offset to each leg I'll show you what that's for and then here's the grill it's got four unusual little dimples in it which serve a purpose and then there's a ring here and this ring has loops welded to it with these loops and then a pan pizza pan now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna take this outside and I'm gonna set this over along with some bungee cords and I always use cloth covered bungee cords to protect them from turkeys but I'm gonna show you real quick this is another version this is a mini bulb cooker it's a little bit smaller and I've never used it but the bowl is a whole lot smaller and there's a lid for it and since it's so small the ring that it comes to them it has even longer leaves so that you can attach this to Therese now you could tie it off a paracord but I use bungees for speed alright so let's take this outside and I will show you how to set it up after the first setup all you need is the bowl missing bunnies and this ring right here okay and then you need two big trees they need to be spaced pretty close together depending on the spacing depends on how many bonds use usually I just need to bungees but the way they should these two trees all right here they're in my front yard that I have to use I may have to use it to bungees but the first thing that you want to do all right did you take a bungee you clip it on one ring and normally what I'll do is I'll stretch it around the training tree and clip it on another ring but what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go ahead for for the sake of filming the video I'm gonna double up on this bungee here you don't have to have cloth covered bungee you can have regular bungees but mine are cloth covered because they keep from tearing the bungees up on the tree the bark will will rip the bungees up and this cloth will protect them from it and it looks cool winds messing my hair so you wrap it around the tree all right so I've got this I've got one right here and now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna wrap one bungee around the other tree and stretch it around and grab ahold of it I said it's a lot easier with trees closer together I can't even get these trees into camera but what you do now is you got this ring right here with these other loops what you do I'm gonna grab both of these buns use with one hand I'm gonna give them a pull and I'm gonna hold on to them right here what you do is you click on this ring like that and you click on this ring like that and you try not to let them snap you in the face so what you've got now is you've got a ring on this suspension you just set all over it just like that and you can cook whatever you want to in hair.you or you can continuously have water boiling over the fire the fire will be down here and you can put the pizza pan on as a lid for a few making like soup or chili or whatever another part of the beauty of this little setup here with these bungees is what you can do is you can adjust the height up and down over the fire and all you do is you go behind each tree and grab the bungees and give them a pull and lower them down I'll show you that here just a second just ease them down like that see now I'm down now down lower to the fire as the fire dies down you can lower it down and if you want a simmer you just set the pizza pan over the top now this pizza pan is going to get warm if you have something you want to keep warm you'll just lay it on top like I did a video one time that was a red beans and rice and alligator and I used this setup and then I did another set up one time and didn't know on another video but one thing that you could do is like if you cook bacon ahead of time you could lay the bacon up on top here and keep it warm or rolls now the other thing you can do is like if you're cooking soup for a lot of people you can bring a ladle and you can just hang a layer out there to keep it clean or if people you can dip your dip your soup out or if you've got water for camp you keep a whole bowl bowl of water hot and people have come along and dip it out for what they need or you can bring lather and use the leather to pick the whole bowl up and pour out the contents all right so that's the first setup with the bowl now the next setup involves the grill and the bowl and this odd-looking little Daisy looking device now this device here is handy for other uses I'm going to show you what it's meant for the bad thing is it takes a little bit of bumbling around to get it to work but once it works it works and it ain't going no harder for sticks take four sticks just like this and then you take this and then you set it on all right now I'm going to see he's that down a little bit and what you want to do is you want to kick each leg out in the same direction all the way around and as they spread out this thing will settle down and hold them off so what you want to do is you want to kick one leg out okay I got one leg out going in that direction the next one's going in the other direction just like that and then I'm gonna kick this one out in this direction and then kick this one out in this direction and you just lower it down and spread them all out until they lock into place and you want them to be relatively even like that all right you get the idea I think so what if it's a good team yeah it's a good enough you then Oh what you do that's also a good place working one set a backpack you know you do just think what set the bowl in it you're gonna move these around just like that until all four stakes are holding it evenly and then you just set the grill over the top then you have a grill off the ground ain't that nice you put your fire inside here you put your wood in here and get that fire going real good but then you put your grill over it and then you've got a grill up off the ground I'd say that way if you're if you're on the snow or something you ain't got to worry about that that wet ground or if you're in the wetlands or in the mud you get you a nice grill standing up err a free-standing burger so that's the next setup let's move on to the third set up over oh now I'm gonna say that when you're done with this setup here all you got to do is just grab the ring just lift the ring off straight up in the air and you're doing so now let's take a look at the silver set here and what it involves all right with the other one what you're going to do cuz you're gonna need the grill and the bowl and then you're gonna need the pan and the little rods and what this one of these uses on the smoker so what you want to do is you want to set the world on the ground and grab yet four sticks sharpen the ends and then sharpen the other ends too like a pulley and what these points are going to do is remember this right here these little things here when you use it as a grill the way these things hang down if they go over the bowl and they keep the grill from slipping off now in this case you're going to turn the grill upside down and these little hooks here are going to go inside here and hold it up so what you want to do you want to set it on the ground right here you're gonna want to stab these things in the ground about three inches away from you all right so I'm gonna stab this in the ground lean it in a little bit yet stab this in the ground lean it in a little bit stab this one in the ground you won't try to do these things equally spaced so that you're away a little bit and it helps to have green sticks all right now what you're doing is you're essentially you've got all four they stick stabbed in the ground here so what you want to do now is the grill is actually going to sit on these little V's right here just like that okay now once you've got this thing sitting here it's actually pretty solid because it's sitting in these V's the bowl goes up on the top just like that okay now what this thing does is you're gonna take there's holes drilled in here there's holes drilled in the pan so what you're gonna do is you're gonna hook these in here just like that and you're gonna hang this from here just like that so essentially what you have now is a grill with a pan below it with the pan bowl over the top gee what is it Milou your dance a little bit so I can explain it better all right can you see what I have now does it make any sense okay what we have here is a bowl on top and a grill and a pan and then four stick stabbed in the ground now this is what you do underneath you have underneath you have the fire and then in this pan you have your wood chips like hickory chips or pecan chips or apple wood or cherry wood your wet chips and then up on top you'll have your meat or your fish or your pork or beef or whatever and it's a smoker the fire that's down below heats up these chips and the smoke comes up and it goes through the reel and this bowl is what captures the smoke in that dome and smokes the food so therein is the third set set up it's great how has such a small package let's go to the final setup is just simple there's nothing to it hardly but it is a different set of setup it's very simple yet very effective just get you three rocks and set them down and build a fire in the middle let the fire build down the coals matter of fact build the fire all the way around the rocks let it go down to coals and soon as this come down to coals you just put the pan on the rocks now in here you can put in your your biscuits or your Vanek or muffins or whatever you want bake and you just cover it up with a lid that's all you got to do nothing too so there it is well this thing you can you can use it as a let's say you can either like use it as a cooker for like soup or chili you could use it as a grill you could use it as an oven you can use it as a smoker and then there's numerous other ways of setting it up and using it like well this was instead of putting chips in here you could use this part as a fire paint you can just set a bowl or your cookware on top use this is open grill there's no telling what the possibilities are of this side so all right time to move on to the next one I think now you're starting to see why there has to be a part two for this I don't feel much in swamps or wetlands anymore I did in years ago in my youtube career but I lost a camera in a swamp just fell over plop so a quick quick filming after that but I do love swamps and wetlands and places like that and when they even end up in the woods I'm on the ground is wet or there's snow or snow on the ground or just in general having to stoop over a campfire so I was always looking for ways of attaching things to trees and getting things up off the ground you'll find that in a lot of my setups so lo and behold the good old swiss volcano stove this thing right here it's got this weird little locking device on the top it goes in just like this alright got a water bowl and a cup put your twigs in here cup goes in here alright I had discovered that you could attach this thing to a tree with wire and you had a hook set up attached to a tree and this got the wheels to roll on to all different kinds of ideas and lo and behold what became is the tree grill or a d-girl now I'm gonna put them together in here but I'm gonna take them outside to attach them to a tree I feel like I can get it you can get a better view of them if I put them together in here on the table you know normally I will I'll put them together and it's kind of a bumbling bumble around operation but I think you'd get a better idea of it if I do it right here on the table so let's ease down this is a much smaller tree grill this is a more packable version this is about the size of it right here you can see it packs them kind of smaller and what it is it's kind of a heavy version you can't bend this thing but it's got to be with lugs and a grill oh this is the top of it here's a pan a little cheapo pan with a little cup that I just leave in it this is a pan just got three little three little notches in it cut into the sides and this will help secure it and then the bottom of it looks like this yes all right there's some carbon fiber for if I want to think I want to protect the tree at the winds blowing got a little container here with some studs will be short studs this little hoop here goes towards this table what this is a piece of aluminium with a V in it and some holes here some smaller holes here all right come to think of it there really should be two of these and I don't know where the other one is elicits in here in the bag oops not here in the back well maybe all right so I have to look around for the head of the one we're supposed to be no:1 anyway the way this thing works is you take these three and you just slide them in here once again plugs and sockets nothing is threaded because from the hate the stuff will seize together and never come apart and this goes on here and that is what it looks like all right and then you attach it to the tree back here with bungees which I'm gonna show you outside and then where these three notches are this fits in here this is your fire pan where you put in your twigs and sticks and things but then this thing right here I method I have to remember how this thing goes on because if I remember I thought that we're supposed to be two but maybe there's just woman that goes to the table so let's set this over here that's my smaller one we'll carry that out Sadie that I've got a bigger one now this one over here the little one I did in the video called the virial and this one is called tree gorilla this is so much bigger and it's a different design I was experimenting with this is a very heavy-duty grill I mean you could probably I don't know you can get somebody to head for this thing because it's heavier wire it's got two lugs on the backside this part this is the only bad part about this this design this is why I won't never make another one is the bulk of it this thing is welded at 90 degrees just like Lucas it didn't has these rods that go together like this now I can't put this thing together in here because this thing what I'm gonna have to do is I might have to this attaches to the tree I had I always keep a painting mixed in there and then this is the bottom of an old humming the top of an old lid and I've got these lugs on here I can't put this together in the house but I can show it to you I show it to you once we go so let's carry the stuff outside and seal it up so we get a better look at so we're outside and I showed you how to put this grill together I'll show you how it goes together so it's got these lugs and all you do is you hold it one hand and then you clip a bungee on one side if you had to you could use paracord you don't have to use bungees but bungee sir so how much easier and all you do you just throw the bungee around the tree and grab it and depending on the size of the trees depending on the size of the bungee so what you do is now that you have it like that you're gonna hold it up with one finger now normally like whenever I'm in the swamp or wherever I'll have these bungees hanging around my neck like this and I'll just peel them off as I need them click on the other one and then reach around the tree and give it a pull and there you are you are now officially attached to the tree okay can you see that pretty good maybe get you a little bit like a side view yeah I think you can see though though the pan in here and there's where you fire is since I made the tree gorilla I haven't used this quite as much but the beauty of this thing is it's such a solid setup that what I've done is I use this in tree houses too which is very cold there was only one of these and it was a reminder to myself I used to put this tray underneath to use it as a table but what I've been doing now is I've been offsetting it like this and so the way you do that is you clip the bungee to one side you throw it around the tree and you line it up to where one hole is lined up with us and then you put this under here and put this under there and it's what supports this so you've got a little work table because this thing is so hard to use when you don't have a little table with it so here we go we have like I said whenever I'm sleeping up in a tree you're doing the tree house free platform this thing's incredible absolutely incredible and sometimes I could even burn like with me and Nick is it a tree platform we'll bring this and the tree gorilla and so what you did you put your fire in here and then up on top is where you do your cooking now I had a bunch of people complaining when I did this video real they were complaining saying no you're gonna damage the tree because this fire you got to remember something heat rises heat doesn't go to the side but just for in case if you want to be safe I'll bring a piece of carbon fiber and it's as simple as this you just shove it inside here that way there's no worries whatsoever especially like if the wind blows this thing right here that completely protect protects the tree right there's another thing you can do is if the wind's blowing really hard or if you want to get efficiency out of your fire you could figure out a way a clipping carbon-fibre to this all right here on the each side and it would enclose it would block the wind you'd have a piece here and a piece back here and that would would block the wind from blowing your fire around every water so now let's say that tree gorilla I'm gonna take this thing all set tree well we've got tree gorillas they're much bigger more stable grill all right we have the grill we have the two lugs on each end now like I said I haven't figured out quite how to get away from the bulk of having this thing welded 90 degrees but depending on the pans that you have packed away in it you can pack it like that yeah now the way this thing is set up is these sliding and just like that two lugs alright now when them sliding these little braces here with the leg on them the length of them are just right that you can lock them in here and lock it in out here so what you have now is you have a one big nice piece right here it's got this video with these two loops and it's it's very stable you could bump it I mean this this is safer when you're up in a tree because there's no way this could come apart you might bump the other ones a little V grill you might could bump it and make it come apart what you're gonna do with that thing is you're gonna hook on the loop stick it towards the tree just like this and pull your bungee around and lock it in and yep pretty much what what you have done now is you have secured this thing to the tree to where the way this is designed the way these hold and this holds that one bungee will do it so this is a much faster setup now the pan has for these little things and all you do with them if you just hang them out move those around and get them to where they need to be all right now this thing right here you now have the fire pan here where you put your fire in and this thing I kind of made it at an angle so that whatever weight you put on it would be no big deal because once these had food in it it would weigh it down pretty good now I've got another table similar to that other one that I said that I did I sit on here kind of a view of it right there I say this thing we'll take the one you can put a huge bowl on here even will one Bungie that'll hold up to big heavy pieces uh it's just it's the design of this 90 degrees right here that helps it out fire here food here all right ain't that need right along and now we're gonna move into my swamp Nouriel and that's just that's just the name for it and the slot grill I don't have it the swamp grill here it is the swamp gross stemmed from the idea of having this plate tied between trees okay this is the original idea that came from my mentor tying that to the trees in heaven up a little tuna fish can stove or a coffee can stove and I brought the idea a step further with my swamp gurgling let's take a look I have two of them here one I've never used this one I actually built for a friend and the friend actually well the friend passed away so I haven't had the hard to get rid of it and I haven't had the heart to use it so it's it's a copy of this thing but anyway like I said that brand new never been used all the parts are still shining in those so okay so let's look at this one this is one that I've used quite a lot and what it comes with it's so old I don't even have a little bag for these little Y shaped things anyway there's four little Y shaped studs just like this instead of the lugs while I didn't use the lugs I don't know but the bottom of the grille looks like this and it has four little notches in it alright and then it has lugs comes an old bag by the way this thing goes together be dealing with more cuz with this one and like I said this was years ago when I first started making grilles and that's the reason why I didn't have lugs on the top and the bottom I just had a grille this sack right here and that's all that thing does is the grill sits in these little Y shaped things just like this you have to kind of let it find its place and so it's like a two layer hurry up alright now the idea behind these little lugs right here is what you can do is you can dig a hole in the ground this size and set the grille directly over the hole or like I showed you earlier you can take four rocks and put set this on the rocks and have the fire under it or what you can do is like what I did earlier you find you find four trees while you're in the swamp or woods or weight line or in the snow and you grab a hold in with the bungee cords and you bungee cord to four Therese and then you can either builder fire directly on this bottom great hair or you can put a fire pan in there then you cook up on top now I did a video on this I actually did a video building one of these called the swamp grill and its uses are creating swamp grill or something anyway I built one of these on video and another thing you can do is remember I showed you this earlier outside with the tripod you can set a tripod up like this in these that's the reason for this funny shape right here it's because the trees will sit directly in here and you can use this as a free-standing grill now you might want to use green wood on that because there's the fire or a fire pan because as the fire drops down through it'll drop down on your tripod or a quad pod because there's four of them that's what I call it's a quad pod but that thing will sit there just like that so that is the swamp grill can come up with a better name for it another thing you can do is if you're sitting it over a hole you can do your cooking down here and whatever you've already cooked you can put up here and it'll stay warm because there'll be some heat coming up up to this upper area probably should have called it double decker burger this is a one-of-a-kind girl and it's gonna stay a one-of-a-kind because I don't want to build anymore now this thing comes in a pouch like this and it has grommets and you can carry this thing you can hook paracord into this or you can hook a bungee cord through all furry and it's kind of tricky hooking a bungee cord they're all furry like that that you can carry it like a hammer sack or like almost like a pocket look like the head or attach it to the back of the pack so let's dig in and get the content side of this night it's a double walled sack you see the lining inside it there let's pull the consciousness what they say is a better view of the sack you can see the lining very heavy-duty bag and what this is it's got three stands with a little lugs if on the top LaPoint this is the girl and what it is this thing took hours and hours and hours and hours to cut to fit into wild and what it is what it is is there's a grill here this is 5/8 tubing on the outside this is solid tubing here now what I did is I took four pieces of tubing and I took these two long pieces and these two short pieces and I weld it together and then what I did is I cut the inside out and put welded up light to it and then I cut this side off on the inside and welded a plate to it so this thing is actually a hollow grill it's got a grill here and this thing and the whole inside fills up with water and here's the plug so what you can do is you can fill it up with water and you can boil the water inside it while you're cooking and you can like cook pancakes or eggs on this side because this side gets hot and then the grill over here you can either put it like a pan on it or you could just cook fish or something directly on these grates if you wanted to then when you get done you screw this back on and then you'll have a bold water hot water inside here that you can carry with you now let me show you how this thing sits up I did a video on this once let's see let's act like this is the growing on because the sun's coming out now and it's making it hard to it's making it hard to study but this thing looks exactly like we're gonna stab these in the ground just like that yep now make three of these and I found that later on you really only need two okay so those are standing the ground this thing sits right inside there like that alright and like I said right here if you fill this thing up with water before you put it over the fire the fire is underneath you can cook here or you can cook directly on this surface because it gets hot as the water bowls and as a water bowls the surface gets hot and cooked pancakes or whatever now make this little jewel here and what this does there used to be a strike pipe when I made that first video there was a strike fire and as the water bowled it was liver relief she's the water straight up in the air but what you do with this thing now is you can catch water in here because is that as the water balls inside it builds up pressure and it has no choice but to come out and it's like a hot water dispenser so the original idea was meant for it to be a way a bowl and water in your grill while you're cooking but and then maybe storing it but then it's developed into more of a I've got room to cook eggs here or bacon or sausage and I've got a way of cooking pancakes here and I don't have to have a kettle for making my coffee the water is inside here heating up the whole time and as it gets hot it's gonna expel itself out there and as a matter of fact I haven't worked with it anymore much more something that I was planning on doing in the futures I was gonna make some kind of a little device here with a hook that held a cup and then I was gonna make a little strainer for coffee grounds hey it would be like a little mini coffee maker hanging off the side right here that as a water came out it went through the grounds and into the cup and I had fresh brewed coffee I did a video on this too if you have like a muffin pan and you want to bake muffins you can simply lose two bowls by doing it with no welding no nothing okay all you do is you take a bowl and set the pan in and you put your muffins in or like me and Nick would do we would line them with bacon and put eggs in the middle and then you put another Bowl up on top and you take some Clips metal Clips not plastic Clips and you click them on the side so that the bowl won't slide around on them and then all you do is you have this thing okay and it's gonna fill up a hot air because what you're gonna do is you're gonna build a fire all around it and then lay logs all across the top of it like this all right and then just build a fire and this becomes like an oven okay because not only if you throw it in the fire and have because the whole area will be heated up and then when you get done you can pull these off and pull your lid off and nothing has touched this but ha tiger so that's another no code trick and I'll show you one other just to get it off the table over here sometimes okay this is it this is a pot that came with the Boy Scout kit okay got like a lid in it it's got all kinds of things inside now it comes with the bowl for hanging good all right most of these things are a low mininum or aluminum in the minimum but a lot of people would like to hang a stainless steel pot they'd like to hang a stainless steel pot for me from whatever type of hanger or tripod that they have okay well a lot of times these things they just come as bowls so what I started doing is the way I have made these things I don't even know if it will come apart now I may have to dig out that smaller one to show you let's see this won't even come apart now but what you want to do is you're going to be in these smaller pieces like this all right and Bend em under drill two holes and then Bend you a bowl and not only that it makes it to where the Bale is further away from the bowl we won't necessarily get quite as hot okay I'm gonna find that smaller bowl to show you real quick how this thing can broke down the bowl that I was wanting to show you and a lot of times you'll find bowls that has these little hangers on the side and I would make a bail for them and it would turn out that the thing would wind up not working right so this is a better version of it this is what I do a lot of times you put a dimple in the middle so you can hang it and it comes over and curls around and then you have these little loops like this and the way they do is it's like they're spring-loaded like this and say they'll hang in there like that yeah and they'll pack away inside the bowl and you spring them in and they're like that yeah and see this gives you a much larger more stable bail and not only do you have a larger stable bail but when you set it on fire it hangs kind of up and away instead of falling over here down towards the fire a lot of times instead of setting it down I'll use this so I got that so tight it won't even think it's probably melt warped from the heat but that thing right there a lot of times I'll hang over a fire like though it also comes in handy for things like this yes I found this this is an asparagus pot very tall pot and I found a pot with no lid I found a lid imagine that I found a little bowl that goes in there it's a same thing here if you find a pot like this you either had to set it on the fire but the fact that it's so tall makes it unstable so I made one of these you can just clip it under like so yeah and see now you got this big old tall pot that you can hang from a tree which is very cold and so you can put water in the bottom and boil your water or maybe make soup and then in the top put some kind of food like I don't know broccoli or something whatever kind of food or maybe even a muffin or bread whatever you don't want to get wet because the heat from this will emanate through into this and then you put the lid on and you've got a complete meal here like you could have a biscuit or muffin in the top and soup in the bottom all right cool and then what you do with this is you'll take your leather or your multi-tool after it's done hanging over the fire you take your multi-tool and you pull that off and elevate your muff and then you've got the soup in here and you can just take a ladle scoop your suit out or beans and cornbread another ain't that no sudden a doubt am I created this is the pivot part and all it is is it's a tall pot that I found a good will and I have welded only handle that has a hollow hole in it this is the same 5/8 tubing that I used on other variable looks like a giant coffee cup doesn't it but the way this thing works is is you take a stainless steel rod just like this bottom is running on keep from poking a hole in your backpack the top has a curve now that curve matches the top of this handle and that's why it's called the pivot pulpits on here it stays in one place so what you do with this is you take a rock or something and you beat this into the ground and then you set your clothing like that and then you have the fire underneath it you have the fire underneath it while you're cooking and then when you're whenever you want to move it away from the fire and move it away to the back side away from the fire fires going right here or you can just pull it completely off the fire carry some leather or but that is the pivot part I did a video on that too that's kind of kind of a handy little device right there because it sits on that one spot right there matter of fact the name of that video was the pivot part all right I'm on it have to try to just kind of fly through the rest of this dead of hair everything but one or two items have been in recent videos so you know if you've been watching me for a little while you'll you've seen them but one thing that showed that I wanted to show right here that I found over on the shelf that is very cool is it's the only grill but I own that I have knit I did not make okay the only thing I made was the bag I made a bag for it alright now this was made for me by a friend of mine in the UK when it's a triangular growth medal pretty thick stuff kind of like a grading type deal not like the grilles I make just got three legs and they fold out like that that Nate pretty cool very very heavy do you you couldn't break that thing if you tried you can put a big bow on it take one big giant bowl or you can take like to your bottle zombie man well one in the middle I don't know if I could put two on here hon you'd have to be awful careful so you might put if you were very very very careful you could put three on there but you know for most purposes a small girl like this you're gonna be doing one thing at a time anyway all right so that's like uh another thing let's look at this here all right here okay this is one of my first burials that hangs from like a tree limb or a ridge line now what I'm gonna do with this this is at angle that mass so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna show you you can see this right here the way this thing works is there's four pieces mayor oh man okay undo it I think this is back before I put a bunch of thought okay there's one carabiner here one little carabiner and it hangs down there's a whole bunch of wads of of paracord here and there there with taut-line hitch 'as they make more sense in a minute but there's four hooks the paracord is doubled up that's why it looks like so much and then it's got little hooks on the end and I'll show you what the taut line hitch is are for and then here's a girl and it's got double hooks on this side and single hooks on this side and the reason the double hooks are on this side is I believe due to hate all right I had to set this up in a long time but I'm gonna try to set this thing up right here and let you look at it I only got this tangled up mess straightened out now the idea behind this thing if you'll bear with me is the fire goes in here okay and then you've got the grill up top right here now this is one of my very first attempts at making something like now I remembered that the idea behind these metal door rings here was the last time I had used it the heat from the fire had came up and started to melt the paracord and honestly up at the top let's go up towards the top when you go up towards the top right there and the way it's hooked to this one carabiner right here and the way these are the reason they have taught line hitches is so that you can adjust it now I'm thinking back in memory because my mind my hanging grills have improved so much I don't use this much because it's it's it's it wasn't designed very well but the way this thing was made really honestly is it was made for the carabiner the carabiner is just to keep it from getting all tangled up during storage because the way this thing is actually made is it's made for these to be tied out this way towards branches so you're supposed to hold these these are supposed to be away not straight up to one point they're supposed to be tied off to two for trees and held out like this now I really need to get rid of some of these hooks right here and just make some longer hooks but the reason that I made these things like this is so that they would be so that they would dig up it so it would pack down smaller and the idea for the taut line hitch is see if I can ease you up here the idea for the taut line here is or so that these things can be adjustable like that okay that's why they're made all right so that's that girl I'm gonna move over onto my improved hanging grill I have - I think - if you're staring at a boy I can't find the other one I've got one I've got another definitely I've got one good one I know so I'm gonna show you it now when I get done putting it all up you can see how much of these articulating rods that there are there's just too many and then you've got all those rods with the paracord this is just too complicated of a design and like I said this is one of my first designs this other one you can use it in different ways and basically what it is is it's it's just four pans and I call it the four the four pan bacon fry now what I'm going to do the way it works is it's a little more organized and I made a little pouch for it right here and what it has is neatly organized there's for very long rods okay for very long rods and then there's some medium-sized rods then there's some little bitty short rods and say I made sewed up this pouch right here for them to keep them organized so this is a much better setup right here and the pant I mean the bag that comes in two triangular shape the bag very heavy-duty bag you can extra reinforced grommets you can actually use it as a seat you can set it up on a tripod or you can tie it off to three trees and set on you side so I'm gonna hang these up then I'm gonna show you what they look like while they're hanging and explain to you so the first thing you want to do is I have a cord and you'll want to hang it over a tree limb and you'll have these loops here and then you want to put the long rods on here and hang one pan now this pan has six holes three rods go in there and so what you do next is you take another set of rods and then you hang the other set of rods on these poles I mean on these holes and then the next pan goes on and then so on and so on and I'll show you after it's set up and explaining it to you there's three long rods for the top pan there's medium rods for the second pan short rods for the third pan and then the fourth pan long rods now the reason you want short rods here is because this is the baking pan it's called the four pan bacon fry all right because you're gonna fry up here like you can put sausage up here or put eggs in here or whatever and as you're cooking you'll just throw them in because there's a there's gonna be a fire here you can see by the black of this pan there's gonna be twigs and sticks and things in here burning and the hates gonna come up and hit the underneath there and then what you're going to do is you're going to have like a piece of leather or a leather glove and you'll hold on to this while you're stirring and cooking and scraping and lifting up the eggs or the sausage or whatever now there's a going to be a fire here and then a fire in here now the reason you want to be closer to this it's because you're wanting to pick up the radiant heat coming off the bottom of this pan so what you're gonna do is you're gonna have like you go you fill this up with one big biscuit or muffin or whatever you want to bake because remember baking is being completely surrounded by heat top in volume so what you'll do is you'll put that in there and you'll want this to be a little bit further a water with a smaller fire because you don't want to burn the underneath of whatever you're baking but you want to be closer to the radiant heat of this pan so this fire warms the top of this this fire warms the bottom this fire also heats this up that is why it's called the four pan bake and fry a technique now there's a video on that that Nick and I did I think we did like a turkey sausage up here and one big giant muffin right here that was pretty cool but this is just so much sample are so much easier to put together and the pan that I keep with it has a breakdown handle with a little thumb screw and it was inside this pouch to the handle stays inside here and the pan stays with us so this little pan here is dedicated with it I took I found this pan and took the handle off of it and made this little handle right here for it so now inside this little thin pouch is the only twig oven that I own and it is an ember lift okay now I'm not gonna put this thing together I know a lot of you know what these are of it's a little stamped out pieces of titanium with all kinds of slots and things and it the way it goes together I'm not gonna waste a bunch of time putting this thing together but you put it all together and then you set things on top of it okay you feed the fire here it's a twig oven all right now I wanted to build and actually want to say oven you put a pot over it you cook over it as far as the oven goes and oven is for baking things now I actually wanted to bake things and so I wanted to come up with a way that wasn't quite bulky and I kind of borrowed the tab design on that and I made an oven that fits in to a bag about this side for her so let's pull this open and I'm gonna show you something here I may have to cut the camera off to put it together back there and we have some sheet metal here and then a couple of spoons know what this is oh this is some carbon fiber cloth I don't even know what that's doing now the way this is made this is the bottom of the oven and it's got a hole cut in it because the flames of the M burl it was actually melting the bottom of the oven so I had to come up with a way of putting steel right here to get it to where it wouldn't whenever it melted it that it wouldn't melt it too bad so what I did is then this entire thing is made out of stainless steel and you can see how cut the slots out and since it's blackened that's how you can tell how those to do and then this is the top of it that's all blackened on the inside because soot was getting in and I need to come up with a thicker piece I need to come up with a piece of stainless steel to go right here to seal this off because the heat actually buckled this thing right here I'm fixing to put this thing together and there's a series of holes here and as you can see it blackens up the inside of it all right so let's put this thing together and they blacken that really bad on the Ember lid and then I've got some pins right here but I put together let's say okay how am i figure out how this going to be able for one thing these click together like they us and I'm gonna put the whole thing together well maybe it won't take too long let me let me see if I can put this together real quick I haven't done this in a long time since I don't use this cuz there's easier ways of baking this was my valiant attempt at making a breakdown oven so you put all this stuff here together just like this it goes inside here okay so what you have now is a box alright now this thing is gonna go inside here cover it up now these pins go in through the side like right now I need to clean this thing out sometime okay so what you have now is you have you have a box and it's got the replaceable piece of steel in here because this thing and I'm gonna have to put a piece of stainless steel in the bottom so that when the flames come up and heat it it will radiate tons of heat inside there alright and what you want to do is take one of these little mini muffin pans and you set it on there and it's plenty far up off the bottom that it's not gonna get it's not going to burn the bottom and you put the lid on over this side now this is a pretty big outfit to break down into such a small container you can see the way that things blackened I'll get it turned the wrong way but I decided and I think what I'm going to do is I'm just going to completely weld the bottom up whenever I get this out and mess with it again but this thing right here what I'm gonna do is you can stab these into the ground then you don't need the Ember layer and this thing will stand on its own and you can put a fire underneath it okay now the other idea behind this thing that I was developing is what you can do which is another reason why everything is blackened is that you can completely pull these out and then you can sit this you can flip this thing upside down because salva holds it to top and you can set it over on the solid piece like this and then build a fire inside then you can put all these in you can put all these things in and you have a grill you can either leave this thing sitting on the ground I have enough right here for the whole thing if you want to everything I build is stainless steel so if you want to you can cook fish or steak directly on this grill or if you want to you can put a pan out of it and say you have a little box girl they don't know you so you could just say that that only stands right here so now for the fruit for the fact that this thing folds down as small as it does it can either be a grill or uh I got a little bit more developing to do this thing like I said that whole skirt man pretty bad right there and I'm either gonna I can't weld it up because this thing bubbled up and melted before but I'm probably gonna come period thicker pieces go on there but anyway that's that that's pretty cool that is a lot of variety in a small package alright moving right along this is something right here and I actually cut an old pants layer go and I left the cargo pouch on so that you can use it to put things in now what this is it's my steamer grill pull it out it's kind of bulky but it's it's thin it's very thin the bowl that comes with it's very thin though now the way this works is the way it's packaged in to keep from bending this grill I have the legs tie it off to it here okay so you just undo that you can pull the legs off and the legs help keep give it strength to keep this Bend from from bending so let me undo this real quick I'm gonna have to try to start moving along very fast because I have like three more to show now I'm not gonna put all six legs out let's just put forward the legs on so that I can show you because it's not necessarily to put all the legs and once again I have the lugs and this is much bigger varial so usually what you do is you hold onto the two back ones and you lay it on the ground and lift it over no problem and then you push it into the ground all right now the way this works is you put a bowl in here and you fill this bowl up with water the fire is underneath okay fill this up with water and I didn't make this I bought this I found they said good we'll put this basket in here and maybe put the lid on over it I found that a goodwill too and you can put whatever meat or whatever vegetables that you won't stained right there and then you can steam right there now we're on the other side is a griddle okay so you'll have the fire all under here so you'll be cooking here steaming here all right ain't that need now I use this in a in a video not long ago and did an actual steam cheeseburger and it was phenomenal there's the best cheeseburger I've ever had in my life so looking here I got four more items listen up or sure the show that this other item I want to show you this thing and like I said if you've seen my videos you've seen this before what this thing is is it's just a ring with some been overlooking things here now what this is for is this is for when you take two logs and you put two logs between two trees just like that this thing sits right on it and you can put a bowl over it and then where those logs are you're going to stack other logs and you'll stack logs this ways and so they like you have a table top and this can either be a washbasin or you can build a fire in there and put a grill over the top okay this was shown in my video chef chef Dave's kitchen I was gonna take it outside and set two logs up on trees and show you how this thing hugs it but this video is running way too long that's how that thing works is it goes to like a kitchen this thing is this is my backpackers Dutch oven a substitute okay now the way this thing works look at this I got all kinds of stuff in here I got a pan and a ring I'll have trouble remember what all is in here alright the way this thing works is this is a stainless steel bowl that actually has the lugs welded to it okay now the way this works this is another one of those pouches that's spring-loaded that I put that binding in okay this is a there's a lifting device there I don't know what this is yeah that's some kind of a oh I know what this is this is some kind of a spring-loaded little tongue that I made for picking things up so this was a whip that I made for whipping and then here's the legs so let's put this thing upside down like that I see the legs go in there because they have a stop now the reason that I believe if I remember right the reason that I made these tongues stand up a little bit taller so that the top lid wouldn't fall off all right usually when things are big enough for my hands it makes it easier to stand up so now that we've got this the fire will be underneath okay so what you do is you take your ring you put the ring in the bottom so that whatever you put in here won't be touching okay put your pan in now if I remember right this right here this is not the pan that I used and I can't know what pan today you noticed I didn't put the pan I didn't leave the pan with but the way these things work right here is that it sits on the ring and keeps it from touching the bottom and then this is supposed to be how you because the pan that I used didn't have a bail on it okay but that's how you put them that's how you put them put them in an ion and these things were very very hard to boiled anyway that's how you put them in anyway the way this works now is you take this lid you have the fire underneath and you set this lid on like I said these the reason these are all sticking up is to keep this lid from moving around and then once you've got the fire underneath you pull coals off and there's another lid what the ring welders around the top and what this is is you put a fire right in here and that's where this little handle here comes in a little meanie looking handle so you're gonna grab this and that's how you pull it off and you're gonna check the process of what you're baking so this is like a backpacker Dutch oven substitute okay so now we're gonna go and do our smoker real quick and I think I'm gonna go ahead and set it up I'm gonna set it up and then show it to you on camera because it was about two videos ago my gravy this is how small it collapses down it's got four legs it's got a ring with hoops with lugs welded to it and a grill and two bowls so I'm gonna set it up real quick but this thing is set up here is it could also be a multi-use item because you turn this upside down just like this and stab it in the ground all right now what you could do is you set this whole in you could put a fire in here and then put a grill in here and then have a small mini grill but the way this thing is designed is the fire goes underneath you build a big ole fire underneath and then here is woodchips okay wet wood chips like pecan or Hickory or Applewood and what you do is the fire heats up the chips and burns them very slowly and releases steam and smoke up and you have a little all right and what that does is it traps at all and so this thing is a smoker that coal it is a a backpacker smoker because it packs down very extremely small now I haven't welded anything on the top of it yet but I need to weld some kind of tail I think what I'm gonna do is this bolt here only has one tab only I think what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna cut that tab off and I'm gonna weld it to the top so you're the smoker food right here fish wings whatever I smoked chicken wings in it when I did it okay so it looks like we're down to one final vinyl grill that I'm gonna show it's all brand-new never used okay but the idea is kind of neat it's just a cool girl something I came up with now I haven't got around to using this grill but I plan on making a video of it with a very very cool steak recipe but we're been under a fire ban and we're just getting near to where we're gonna be out of the fire band hopefully so I'm gonna pull this out and show the contents of it in its entirety since it's an all brand-new grill all right it's gonna camouflage bag I'll make the bag let's pull everything out of here let's get some legs and a little payoff here's one pouch that I made out of the same fabric and it has a cool little cast-iron skillet neat little skillet a double wall bag pull this out this is a large nicely what's the name movie I think it's a sauce pot and it was actually the whole idea behind this girl cast-iron pot so this is what the grill looks like and the bag is lined with tithing - good tough stuff I've got to wear now all my bags that I make and I've learned so much about sewing that all of the bags that I make now are pretty much gonna be lined now the idea behind this thing there's four legs flip it over same thing as always it's got lugs because that's just the way I do things I'm absolutely not gonna screw them on and I'm not gonna pin them on because this works fine for me grab it with your hands flip it over stab it in the ground okay fire goes under here and the idea behind this thing is this cast-iron pot right here I never knew what to put it on so I made this thing to where it'll sit on the end now out here on this side I can either cook directly on this because it's stainless steel which I'm going to do I'm going to have steak right here okay I'm going to cook steak and you can take a brush or whatever and you can dip it in here into like liquid butter or marinade and brush your steak flip your steak brush flip your steak brush and you're always going to have hot marinade right here with you or you can use this cast iron pan you could use this and make grits then cook eggs and bacon or something in here or bring a bigger pan but I don't know I was just kind of I had this little thing right here that I just seasoned and then I bought this and I was kind of kind of came into the idea for this but I've got a top secret steak recipe that I'll be showing whenever I get around to filming that yes all right and so that ends part two I honestly I had no idea I knew I had a lot of homemade cooking gear but I had no idea what it takes so long to show it all and it took forever to dig it out it took forever to set it up and took forever to put half of it back the other half still I hear on the table all but anyway I thought I hope you found it interesting I thought I thought I think you know it was fun for me to go back through these things and especially looking at some of the older setups that I haven't had out in a long time because I'm realizing now some of the mistakes that I used to make and what I've learned and how I'm building what I'm building now and there's been just hundreds of pots pans greats and girls they have wound up in the trash it just didn't work I tried my best just to show the things that work and you know even I really recruiter versions of things they did work just there's easier ways of setting things up and hopefully in the future you know it ain't gonna in here hopefully in the future there will be a lot more experimental cookware cooks say it's grills ovens smokers fryers you name it cuz I love to eat I love to eat on the trail so hope you enjoy it like I said I had a blast this was so much fun for me diggin the stuff I felt and the weather is cooling off fire bans gonna be able going away and hopefully I can get back out into the woods like I used to it's just been so hard so hope you enjoyed it and I shall see you in the next one you thought I was done with the video didn't you I thought I was done with the video turns out it's a good thing I didn't edit part two before Part one came out because one of the commenters yesterday had reminded me that they said something about I said I can't wait to see my favorite grill the one that's in your machete sheath and I completely forgot about it because all the cooking stuff is on one shelf and in those boxes over there but this was in the machete sheath with the machetes so I'm gonna throw this in for the people that haven't seen it because this was shown once or twice in a very very old video so let's take a look at it all right now what this is is for those of you that haven't seen it this is the machete that I made okay it's got a custom-made sheet all right there's the machete it's it's made an appearance in a couple of videos and I made a video of me making it so now this is the sheath right here all right got the straps to strap it on your belt here and a strap strap around your leg with a little zipper pouch and then it's got a pouch right here that comes off and underneath it it exposes a diamond sharpener all right now in this pouch I have a grill so which is easy not the contents out I never did put a flap over it but they never came out and all this is is it two is two pieces of tubing with a bunch of holes drilled in it and then a bunch of pieces of C oh these are magnesium strips I forgot about those st. got it out such a long time but the way you put these things together is um you just slide these all together and it's a really cool way of carrying a grill with very very minimal bulk now if I remember right if you look back this video was around maybe 2011 or 2012 over something it was a long time ago and I think since then somebody has came out with a design of where it's a breakdown grill like this that you put together and this is the only grill that I ever made like this because it was a nightmare to to drill all these little tiny holes in here but that's basically it right there I'm not gonna put the whole thing together but what it is is it's a grill and you can see these little holes in here but that's what you do is you slide all these together and you have this grill and you either dig a hole and set it over the hole or you set it over some rocks and you got a grill and that way if you want to like cook fish if you catch fish or something with your fishing kit you just like fish right on here cook it or maybe if you got some pots and pans or something so okay now now the group that the video is officially over so it's a long video but it pretty much showed everything that I've got that I've done and I got a couple other things that I'm working on I got some new designs this is one of them some of the things that I'm gonna be making is some of the things that that anybody can make like this is an old grill out of a smoker and I found this big old giant pan don't even know what it is I got it for a dollar ninety one and good one and this is gonna be part of a huge grill that I'm gonna be setting up then I got another version of a steamer smoker and I just showed something that you can smoke with but this is gonna be something where it's gonna be no welding as far as I know it's coming something anybody can make so anyway alright so just a the four minutes to the video maybe even longer and I shall see you in the next one
