In Grade 8, I was in a northern Canadian school with no gym. One day, for gym class, our teacher took us out in -20 C on snowshoes and told each group of 3 students to start a campfire. BEST LESSON EVER! You've set up a lot of great examples and created your own weather system in the process. Thanks for sharing.

Being an insulin dependent diabetic, I always have alcohol and cotton balls. I found once I use a soaked cotton ball and tossed it into a campfire it burned for a very long time. I now keep a plastic bottle with soaked cotton balls in it. I prep my campfire, place 2 to 3 balls in different areas and light. They easily burn hot and long therefore getting a roaring fire going in short order. I just tie a string around my bottle and hang close to where my fire pit is and bingo, I’m ready. Just an idea your viewers might want to try. My grandkids love a campfire when we are in the Mountains.

Fire is so awesome. Help’s boost moral gives such a sense of comfort and safety and it’s so cool to watch the flames. It’s like it is alive. Not to mention you can cook food or heat treat some steel for some knife making which happens to be my favorite use of fire !!!

Saving this to my playlists for future reference.

Don't get me wrong you do great research and quality videos but its nice to see some practical how to videos instead of end of the world stuff great job! The dogs are looking good!!

All the basic 3D shapes: cone, cylinder, pyramid, cube, disc and wedge. My daughter found those easier to remember vs names from different eras and different countries. The antenna is a clever idea. Good tip!

One additional suggestion for the Canadian/Swedish fire stove (use 1-3 inch logs, stack them vertically, tie them together, start your tinder on top, when it burns down into coals, add whatever you want)

[DjGlenJon]

When using a pocket bellows blow from the wide end. (Was shown used the wrong way around) cheers CP I use a few of these methods

[thebritace]

For the lean to fire if u face the large logs towards the wind and leave an opening in between them it will allow for a channel of air to fuel the fire. This will enable it to reach higher temperatures, useful for cooking/boiling

[aliasnick]

Great shot at the end with all the fires going at once!

The starfire actually has a relative in 'primitive cooking' (and not some dudes in the bush, but cooking in developing countries). It's a fire like this with 3 logs and 3 stones, where the stones are bigger than the logs, which in these countries tend to be more like big branches. The use might be obvious to some, but you light the fire in the center and then put the pot on the tree stones suspended above the center of the fire... Now there is added functionality to this type of fire, that is the control of heat. By pushing the logs in or pulling them out, the height of the flame can somewhat be managed, and with that the heat underneath what you are cooking.

[clarkmorrison]

I would use the antenna bellows exactly the opposite - blow into the large end, and the air coming out the small end is moving much faster coming out the short end. Used to do this back in the day with aluminum tent poles.

I learned the best cold weather fire techniques camping in the Dakotas as a kid. A Dakota fire is the only way to go. A hole about 8 inches across and about a foot deep with an angled vent on the side. When we stopped for the night, we'd each build our own separate fire to burn for a couple hours to heat up the ground, and one we used as a collective campfire for the night. Push off the snow as much as possible so everything stays dry. When you're ready for bed, you fill in your individual fire covering the coals so it keeps smoldering, and set your bed roll on top of it to stay warm during the night. Sandy ground is best. You can use practically anything as fuel. It wastes less fuel, makes little smoke, burns longer, holds heat better, is easier to cook over, and much easier and quicker to extinguish. You can basically make a really warm fire on just a little bit of fuel. You just keep dropping fuel it as the night along and occasionally clear the vent with a stick.

Very helpful and I enjoyed the sound of crackling fire.

[oryxified]

Oh, that crackling is just divine. Makes you feel warm just listening to it

[elliesarke]

I lit my first fire with a rod striker😄 the right kindling is the key. Im still gonna die if the world goes to shit but at least I'll be warm.

Growing up in Northern Sweden we had survival in school and were taught the "Log cabin" method. 20 years later I'm still using this method and haven't done it any other way. Works every time. In winter, in summer, in wind, with wet wood. Always!

[thejollyroger]

I have my own campfire method that I have been working on. It is fairly easy, I take some logs and sticks, toss them together randomly in a pile, spray them with lighter fluid and toss on a match. From my experience it seems to work every time. 😀

It was cool you made all the fires at the same time. I have made all these types of fires myself. Mostly it depends on what's available and the conditions. Everyone enjoys a nice fire.
