How to make a survival stove

[Soggybottomboy]

This is a follow up from a video I did with my buddy Survivor Johnny awhile back. This video gives a step by step instruction on how to make is New Survival Stove design. Don't miss this as it is a really efficient, safe, cheap, and cool design. Watch and enjoy.

No problem.

Thanks for sharing that. A couple things that weren't covered- What kind of alcohol are you using? Is it 100% fiberglass insulation or is it a mix like ecowool?

[Soggybottomboy]

I will have to check with Survivor Johnny on the kind of alcohol. I know he usually uses denatured alcohol. The fiberglass insulation is just pink attic fiberglass insulation. No ecowool is mixed.

Hope this helps and thanks for asking.

Just a quick question....why is it called a survivor stove?

[crashdive123]

I'm guessing because Survivor Johnny made it.

It's a backpacking stove to me.
It would be good if you were trying to hide and you'd leave less of a trace than my survivor stove (fire).

Just a quick question....why is it called a survivor stove?

Honestly, two reasons.
One, it is made from trash and can be duplicated easily in a survival situation. As long as you had a flammable liquid.
Two, because Survivor Johnny made it.

Cool, thanks, just wondering, seems a little material specific, might be hard to scrounge a cat food tin.

Made a few "penny stoves", and worked OK,..... but yeah, you still need fuel of some sort, might be hard to scrounge as well.......

I used "Heat" fuel additive in the north, might be hard to find in the south, and you would need a hardware store, Drug store or what ever to come up with alcohol.

Most booze won't burn, unless its Ever-clear or real high proof.
Like the "no spill feature"......Oh and don't add fuel when it's still burning, hard to see in sunlight.

Pretty clever design. Quick to make. Good job. Thanks for posting.
