    Out in snow and ice for some hiking and bushcraft. Been waiting for cold enough weather to try this idea of a long fire. A bit hard to get going but got there eventually. It was so warm I had to move back a bit. First time ever I opened up the sleeping bag in 20 below because I was too hot. Second night I slept out on the ice. Flat ground is heaven for me in this area but when the wind picked up at 5 am I had to get going. It was too cold.
    I present my sleep system in this video. Other than that I have a Norwegian mountain pack, biltema pot, ACME cold handle pan, Hultafors Åby axe, Mora Garberg knife, Trangia triangle, Trangia lantern no 83, Lundhags boots, Fjällräven anorak, Hestra work gloves, aklima liners, Bahco sawblade for my bucksaw, light my fire army 2.0 fire steel. Note that the reflective windscreen cover needs to be placed on top of the sleeping pad, directly under the sleeping bag. When I set up the sleep system it looks like I placed it under the sleeping pad. It was just temporary because the wind tried to blow it away when I shot the scene.
    Thanks for watching!

    Greetings my Brother from Northern Utah in the U.S. It’s 5 in the Morning and the temperature is 2 degrees Fahrenheit (-16.667 degrees C). Fortunately or rather (unfortunately) I’m in a long term heath care facility [Day 116] due to severe fall and subsequent infection. Dr.’s have managed to save the leg so far, but my days of extended hiking and wilderness camping appear to be over. At 71 years old I thought I had a few more years left. We’ll see. Keep on going my Brother-let’s me still get some enjoyment-if only from watching!

    I have watched literally hundreds if not thousands of survival vids over the last 5 yrs and this vid on building a fire log best illustrates what to do for a long term sustained heat source. Thank you for taking the time and effort to produce this.

    Loved the Wall of Fire! Could have shown even more footage of rotating the logs and just that wonderful FIRE. Mesmerizing! Your videos are better than medication for blood pressure, I can feel my heart rate lower and get such a deep sense of relaxation. Your channel should get a Seal of Approval from the WHO for therapeutic purposes. As I sit in Kuwait City, I can dream of cold weather sleeping until I get home to the Redwoods! Thank you, my friend.

    @billparrish4385 Před 4 měsíci +3

    That wall of fire is great! I'll have to try that, next time I'm out where it can be used. Only thing to be careful of is, if using it as a heat source while sleeping, that it doesn't burn through the retaining stakes. Having a pile of burning logs roll into bed with you is certainly one way to prevent you from getting your beauty sleep! 😎
    Seriously, having a couple of 'safety stakes' driven between you and it to catch any that might roll can make it safer. Good idea!

Thanks for all the beautiful winter shots, including overhead from the drone. (Glad to see you not limping. Hope your foot is feeling better.)Wish you health, contentment and prosperity in all endeavors for 2024.

    In Canada we cannot pound stakes into the ground in January, could not pound steel pegs in after November.
    We have been using the wall method since 2010. It is great to reflect the heat back. Have to maintain a distance of about 10 feet. Do not need to wear gloves or button up our coats. I like your idea of getting the fire going between the logs. We use dead Mistletoe to get the fire going, that stuff is in great abundance in our forest in North Saskatchewan Canada. also agree that dead standing is better for getting going. Thanks for your work.
