Make a Camper’s Boiling Pot with Beer Cans [Clever Uses] - 3343th Edition

Next time you’re packing for a camping or other outdoor excursion, don’t feel obligated to lug along backpack-hogging cooking pots. Instead, make a portable boiling pot using beer cans.

The key tools you’ll need are two 24-ounce cans of beer, one Ziploc 2-cup Twist’n-Loc container, one standard Ziploc 1-cup container, a can opener, and your basic cutting tools.

Unlike the 24-ounce Heineken keg pot—affectionately known as the Heiny pot—the beer can pot is good for smaller meals that only require one or two cups of boiling water. The DIY-er at Instructables also advises not to eat out of the boiling pot, because cleaning it can be a pain.

Check out the video above to see a sample version, then hit up the full post below for the step-by-step, including instructions on building the case to carry it in. And if you’re more of a bottled beer drinker, here’s another load-reducing trick for opening one beer bottle with another.
