[sugerbear520]

nice

[shugemery]

@sugerbear520 Whoooo Buddy!

[iam1inamil]

...just keep in mind that cans are COATED WITH GALVANIZE WHICH WILL GIVE YOU HEAVY METAL FUME POISONING til it is totally burned off.....don't heat yer beans up while in the can either!!!

[shugemery]

@iam1inamil I ain't croaked YET!

[iam1inamil]

@shugemery ...all the old steel workers that didn't use respirators have been getting at the very least ...metal fume fever...and at worse they get cancer from cadmium poisoning.....i think they replaced lead solder seams in the cans with something else.....plus have you noticed some cans are coated inside with a white coating?....this keeps the heavy metals from leaching into the food,....we all should pre-burn [redhot] our homemade soupcan stoves so there is no cadmium left to breath....

Nice stove. As a MN, DIY guy, I have some ?'s. Why the BIG opening for wood feeding? Could you, instead of removing that large triangle of metal, make the top cut, then bend the 1" band of metal inward. It would still allow for woodfeeding, act as a pot support, and stow away inside the other can for portability. Is my thinking sound? Thank you for all your videos, and I imagine it would be a hoot to hike a stretch of God's country with ya.

[shugemery]

@piercedbond7 It is J.Falks design so I don't know. It is tallish and could be tippy. One stick getting caught up can knock it over. It can be staked down.

Sure works good and easy as it is though.

Thanks feller.

i like it. yours has a nice combustion neck on it. i invented this other thing called a woodsman's burner, here's the vid-

[kyletango]

Shug you need a bar of C-4 to cook with it burns hot and fast. I bet it could boil your water at about 5.2. That's what I use to use when in S.E Asia. Did I say that out loud?

[shugemery]

@kyletango Haaaa .... I gotta see if I have some laying around.

[brutallindigo]

Again super video ...Feel like I'm a little late viewing these ones but I'm super interrested in this ..I have a trailstove but would like to make one of these ...do you have the plans ? Thanks in advance ;-)

[shugemery]

@brutallindigo I always like this stove ... cheap, light and always works. Only con is it is kinda tippy for some folks. A couple of stakes in the ground to hold it solve this. I am just careful...

[hanghoodiescum]

have you ever heard of campin gaz stoves

[shugemery]

@hanghoodiescum

Yeah .... they are some right goodies.....

lold on 6:36

[rbvmtr]

did you dent the paint can on purpose ?

[shugemery]

Yeah ..... stepped on it! Clumsy me. No ill effects though.

[legox50]

how do you cut the steel?

[shugemery]

Well feller .... I used a Dremel Tool with a Cut-Off Wheel. They work well and righteously.

[legox50]

@shugemery meh... i had to get tin snips to cut it.........

[MrtyMrtn]

Out of the 2 stoves you have made and tested, which one do you like best?

[shugemery]

I am leaning towards the compact wood burner as it is a no brainer adding sticks to boil........

[MrtyMrtn]

Thanks for the video Shug... enjoyed as always...

[earthpod]

Shug,,, Nobody does Shug - like "The Shug"!

Can We see a video on what not to do on a

solo hike? Please

[shugemery]

That is too good ... a right goodie!

In answer to your query ...... don't get killed or eaten! Or lost. Or run out of cigars. Or chocolate.

I will get to more vids in the Fall ....on the road now with work. Wahhhhhh

All secure.......

Shug

[shugemery]

I have an 8 and a 16!!! Really like them both so much.....

[boomer00000]

does tinny make them or did you make them yourself?

[boomer00000]

Hey. ive noticed in your other videos that you use the fosters pot. Is it the 8 oz ?

[stefchollet]

great vid thank's

[hobbexp]

really nice stove video, thanks for showing,

[shugemery]

Thanks .... Sweden ... beautiful world there!!!

[lGaming]

cool man

[shugemery]

and a wee bit "hot" as well .......

[shampoovta]

I was playing with the wood stove stuff too. I liked this one. They do kick out the heat.

[shugemery]

It is a right goodie.....

[shugemery]

A lot of risks get taken in the woods .... canister stoves do explode .... alky stoves get tipped. A limb falls on you. Snakebite. Knife injury. Fall. lightning strike. Ankle snapped. Tall Wood Stove going down....

One just has to practice and always have a back-up out plan anyways.

I guess I let the worry go it's own way and hike on. Won't hike with worry. Only Joy and Confidence.

Be not concerned for me but I do harken your concerns for others. Good Heart.

[enjoythewildUSA]

Well said my friend. Thank you for the inspiration.

Sorry for the nanny speech. I'm starting to sound like my wife who haggles me every time I go deep in to hunt, fish or backpack. Particularly if I go alone.

[enjoythewildUSA]

That's pretty cool but I'd be hestitant to use that in Windy conditions.  Also, if the thing tips over, the unusual height of the stove will potentially dump hot liquid over such a large radius that you are more likely to get burned.

[shugemery]

I aim for extreme vigilance .......

It can be staked down but i have never done that yet. I would in less than level conditions though.

As well .... i have been burned by wood stoves .... they are rangy at times!!!

[enjoythewildUSA]

That's what concerns me shugemery.... You get burned 10 miles from the nearest road and you are in a world of hurt. You know what you are doing but some 1x a season backpacker could make a tragic mistake with a stove like that.  Just a thought. I'm going to tell you that I think it is pretty cool though.

[leifo5343]

Awesome video Shug! I've made one and I'm waiting to test it.

If I were backpacking and I wanted to make sure I had dry wood with me, how much do you think each meal's wood would weigh?

Just wonderin...

~Leifo5343

[shugemery]

No more than 3 to 5 ounces I would reckon .... depending on the wood. Real dry wood is light ... of course. it does not take much.

[leifo5343]

I find it kinda funny that you posted the video of this today. Last night I made the Falk stove that you posed earlier (Slingboil). Both are pretty easy. Thanks a ton, Talk to you on the forums!

[shugemery]

I humbly bow and nod to thee.....
