3 Days Solo Camping in the Rain - The Green Wood Fire

#bushcraft #camping #survival #asmr
Camping and hiking for 3 days. Raining a lot and put in some real distance this time. The fire ravaged area in this season and weather sure brings a melancholic mood.
The green wood birch fire is super nice thing. The whole tree is processed down and cut to equal lengths. Then you stack everything parallel, as tight as possible, with the thickest logs at the bottom up to the smallest twigs on top. The bark is used as tinder to ignite the bundle of birch twigs. Use a stick to press down on the bundle as it burn to keep it compact. Heat will develop and green birch twigs burn fast like gasoline. Depending on the season and size of the tree a bit of help with dry wood can help the burn initially. A bigger tree contains more kindlings and do not need help from dry wood. After about 40 minutes water will begin to seep out the end of the birch logs. After one hour the fire will burn on its own after you take some of the bottom end logs on the sides and move them up and place them over the heat core. Like you stack the fire once more making it narrower and higher. Then the magic happens. In the video you will see an example of it burning for one hour. It burns silent, no sparks, it burns for a very long time, giving heat evenly which makes all the difference for comfort. During the sequence you see in the video the logs hardly moved. Its like you are looking at a fire in a video game ;). IMO a thing of beauty.
Second fire was done in horrible conditions for fire. The absence of foliage made everything soaking wet all the way down to ground level. Normally you have to access the inside of dead standing logs by sawing and cutting them which takes a lot of your time and energy. Spruce roots are a better solution if you find them above ground. They burn hot and bright for a long time, thus also illuminating your campsite.
Played around with the Swedish mess kit m-45 this time. A great piece of gear but I never had it working well with coffee pots, the trangia for ex. So I tried two hacks this time to make it work. The last one was the most efficient but not so stable. It fell down a couple of times. The permanent solution requires the addition of a small piece of metal. Will present that in an upcoming video.
Thanks for watching!
The green wood birch demonstration in this video was harvested at home and brought to the location. Please follow the Swedish "Allemansrätt" when hiking and camping in Sweden. Leave no trace!

Thank you for sharing this with us once again. I hope it is somehow comforting that we're all out there with you in a sense.

[@Swedwoods]

Thanks!

[@user-hh6ex9md4w]

Thank you for your comment! I completely agree with you. Camping in the rain can be challenging, but it's comforting to know that there are others out there who share the same passion for outdoor adventures. By the way, have you heard about the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series? It's a great backup power solution for extended camping trips. Check it out if you're interested!

As a person who lives in the city, it's such a treat to unwind and put your video on and relax...Truly therapeutic, thank you for that.

Thank you Swedwoods for again suffering the rain and cold to bring us another amazing video.
I would pay to go to the theater and watch this on a big screen! (But it’s got to be a theater that serves beer and food and has the reclining comfortable chairs). 😉
A beautifully shot and edited journey through the woods of Sweden. ❤️

Thank you for making such a fine Video!!! Instant Potato Tip.. The kind that comes in a Plastic Cup . Most varities just need a bit of Boiling Water added to the Cup and set aside for a few minutes and it is done. I like the Garlic Mashed.... I usually carry 4 in my Backpack. But maybe you cannot obtain them in Sweden. I don't know... I've seen a number of items I cannot find here in the U.S. of the same quality most are cheap junk China imports... Not sure of your open FIRE RULES in Sweden but as a Volunteer Trail Maintainer we decry the use of having a fire on top of Rocks for I have to Clean them off and disperse them when I come upon them.... I do enjoy your Woodcraft making. I have a book from the 1930's showing over a hundred projects some of which you have used. It is a good thing to actually see someone make them... Thank you! When I was a child we headed to the Adirondack Mountains to Tent Camp for a Month. It was my and my little brothers job to keep the Fire Going for that time. We used nothing but Birch, some as thick as 8 inches all cut down green due to the rate of rotting when on the ground. It was Legal then to chop them down, you cannot do that today or get a big Fine up to a $1000. Birch makes the best fire even in the Rain due to the Oil in the Wood when green. Birch Leaf Tea was good along with Birch Sap prepared like Maple Syrup...

The steak onion mushroom and instant potatoes looked good. I like mine with some Mexican corn mix added in or just regular corn. Butter salt pepper. Delicious. 👍🏻

It's the Silence I find so magical; with the deep ambient sounds from the wind and the occasional goose calling out, you can imagine that J.R Tolkien came from here..on the practical side, I learned something again, how to make fire in the rain..have tried that a bunch of times growing up but could never quite get it..masterly move. Also, the ending from 54.45 on is epic poetry, and again the silence...grattis
