Those who like to spend time outside the city, but rarely go hiking, know how difficult it can be to keep matches dry, quickly light a fire or prepare a hot breakfast. However, experienced travelers know how to special effort make homemade items for a hike with your own hands. Each of these devices will make life much easier for beginners and experienced tourists at a minimum cost.

Camping jet stove

Perhaps this is the most expensive tourist homemade product for a hike that will be discussed. The fact is that to make it you will need to purchase two small stainless steel mugs in advance. This stove makes it easy to heat water for tea or fry eggs. Of course, a gas stove is much more convenient in this regard. But the gas may run out, and this small device runs on firewood, which can be found in abundance in any planting.

To work you will need:

• inexpensive mugs with a diameter of 10 and 12 cm, made of stainless steel;
• masking tape or a strip of paper;
• a stainless steel strip 25 cm long and 3-4 cm wide.

In addition, you need to prepare the following tools:

• grinder or hacksaw;
• roulette;
• hammer;
• drill and drill bits;
• marker;
• pliers;
• core;
• metal scissors.

What do we have to do

In order to make such a homemade product for a hike, it is important to act very carefully and in accordance with the following instructions:

• We start by processing a mug of smaller diameter. First of all, cut off the handle - it will not be needed.
• Now we carefully grind off the places where it is attached using a grinder using cutting disc. If necessary, we help ourselves with pliers. The result should be a kind of stainless steel glass.

• Stepping back about one centimeter from the edge of the workpiece, apply masking tape around the circumference. Peel it off again and mark the strip into 12 divisions. This is necessary in order to drill 12 holes around the circumference of the workpiece at the same distance from each other. If you don’t have tape, you can use a regular strip of paper, moistening it a little with water.
• We transfer the markings back to the mug, paint over the necessary places with a marker and use a drill and drill bit to make small holes.
• Remove the tape and drill out the resulting holes to a diameter of 10 mm.
• Let's move on to the bottom of the workpiece. There you need to mark 21 holes. To make it look beautiful and neat, you can outline the outline of the bottom on a sheet of paper in a checkered pattern and start by marking the holes there.

• Having slightly moistened the paper with water, we glue the workpiece to the bottom and core the places of future holes. We mark them with a thin drill, and then increase the diameter of each to 7-8 mm.
• Now let's start working with the second, larger mug. We turn it over and mark a circle with a diameter of 10 cm in the center on the bottom.
• We drill a convenient hole in the center of the mug and cut out a circle with metal scissors.
• In the upper part of the mug, also stepping back a little from the edge, we drill several holes with a diameter of 10-12 mm, evenly distributing them around the circumference.
• We assemble the stove. To do this, turn the large mug upside down and insert a metal glass with holes made from a smaller mug into the resulting hole (in the normal position, bottom down). It will be difficult for the workpiece to fit in, so you can place a small board on top and gently tap it with a hammer.
• All that remains is to make a cross. For this you will need a steel strip. We cut it in half, then cut each half in the middle so that the parts can be inserted into one another.

The stove is ready. If you install it on a flat area and heat it, the fuel supply is enough even to boil a kettle. In this case, the handle will remain cool, so that the device can be safely extinguished or moved to the desired location.

"Bombs" for the fire

When considering homemade products for hiking and tourism, it is impossible not to pay attention to lighting a fire. Those who often do this outdoors, especially after rain, know that this is not an easy task. To ensure that the fire always flares up quickly and easily, it is better to stock up on special paraffin “bombs” before going out. They are very easy to make. You will need:

• egg cartons;
• cotton fiber, such as cotton wool;
• wax candles (2-3 pieces).

Everything is done very simply. Place a ball of cotton wool into the cells of the cardboard stencil - it is better to tear it and compact it a little. Melt the candles in an unnecessary tin can in a water bath, after cutting them into pieces.

Pour melted wax into the cells with cotton wool, wait until everything hardens. Using a utility knife, cut the stencil into pieces and wrap each “bomb” in cling film. Each piece set on fire with a match or lighter will burn stably for at least twenty minutes. This is quite enough to dry the wet brushwood a little and light a fire.

Bottle filter

And here's another one useful homemade product for a hike. With its help, you will not be left without tea, even if the entire supply is drinking water will be used up. The main thing is that there is a small river or river nearby.

To make a simple filter you need to prepare:

• plastic bottle;
• a small ball of cotton wool or 3-4 cotton pads;
• plastic bag;
• a piece of cloth, for example a clean handkerchief;
• a package of activated carbon - if you don’t have it, a few charcoals from yesterday’s fire will do.

Operating procedure

Creation scheme homemade filter very simple:

1. We cut off the bottom of the bottle and make several holes in the cork. Screw on the cork and turn the bottle upside down.
2. We plug the neck with a wad of cotton wool or place 2-3 disks there.
3. The next layer is crushed activated carbon tablets. The more there are, the better. If you use charcoal, then the pieces should be broken a little so that they lie as tightly as possible to each other.
4. Cover the coal again with cotton pads or cotton wool.
5. To prevent the filter from becoming clogged, place a clean handkerchief on top.
6. U plastic bag cut off a corner or make holes in it. Place the cellophane in the bottle.
7. Now add a layer of clean river sand. If there are small pebbles on the shore, you can also use them, placing them in the topmost layer.

Note! The layers should be such that there is room on top for water.

The filter from scrap materials is ready. The water obtained in this way must be boiled (at least ten minutes) to completely get rid of various microorganisms and pathogenic bacteria.

Hot gun without electricity

It happens that while on a hike you need to fix something urgently. How to do it? Your best bet is to grab some hot gun rods from home. But how to use them? Now you'll find out.

To make a camping hot pistol you will need:

• lighter;
• can;
• insulating tape.

Make it so useful and the necessary homemade product It’s very easy for a hike:

• Using a knife, we cut off the bottom and top of the can, and cut it lengthwise so that we get a sheet of thin tin;
• we roll a small bag out of it and fasten it with electrical tape;
• cut off the tip so that the glue passes into the hole;
• using electrical tape, screw a lighter onto the bottom like a pistol trigger;
• Insert a glue stick into the hole.

The device is ready! Now it will be very easy for you to seal a torn boot or make minor repairs to your equipment.
