A tripod is easy to make. Gather 3 poles/branches about 2 meters long (6.5 feet) each. Of course, don’t cut wood if it’s illegal to do so, in some areas, like national parks, using natural materials may be prohibited or regulated. That said, material for a tripod is available in most forests. If suitable poles are chosen and interlocked, cords are not even necessary to make the tripod ultra-stable.

Of course, for long-term wilderness living, cordage may give you more options. The same goes for the pot hanger, it can simply be made of a branch or a shorter pole. Keep a fork in it, to allow you to hang it on top of the tripod, and next cut a notch at the bottom of the hanger so you can hang your pot on it.
