Introduction: Mini Hobo Stove and Cup Free Recycled Survival
This mini hobo stove won't cost you a thing and only take a few minutes to make. This would be perfect in an urban survival situation as pop cans usually litter the streets. Try and make one. It was lots of fun and I think I am going to do more projects with pop cans.
Step 1: Gather Materials
Short list.
2 pop can's
1 knife or something to cut the can with
Optional 1 pair of pliers to crimp the can's
Step 2: Make the Stove
1 Cut a hole approx. 2"X1.5" on the front bottom of the can
2 Cut hole approx. 1.5"X1" on the opposite side at the top back of can.
Step 3: Make the Cup
1 Cut top off can
2 cut a piece about an inch wide starting at the top going down about 2" - 3"
3 make two to three cuts to the same depth on the bigger piece left.
4 Fold down bigger pieces into the inside of the can. This will give you a rolled edge so you don't cut yourself while using it.
5 You should be left with the 1 inch wide piece left. Roll it down to make your cup handle
* See video to see better how it is done.
Step 4: Ready to Make Tea or Sterilize Water
1 Find tinder and small twigs and place in stove and light it up.
2 Place the cup you made on top of stove.
3 You should have hot water for your tea or sterilized water to drink in about 15 - 20 min
Step 5: Time to Drink Up
Let your water or tea cool to taste and enjoy.
