Transform a Stick Into the Perfect Camping Holder
If you’re not careful, boiling water over a fire can be an easy way to burn yourself. This clever potholder will take the pain away from you – all you need is a knife and a stick.
The resourceful hackers from History Channel Alone came up with the kitchen stick tool shown above. Here’s how to make your own:
- Find a stick that is almost straight and Y-shaped. Break into pieces if necessary.
- Use your knife to carve a notch just above the inverted Y-piece of the stick.
- Gradually turn this notch into a hook that you can easily hold by the handle of a pot or bucket (as shown in the image above).
Now you can boil drinking water or coffee without worrying about scalding your hands.
