Bow drill failure. Too coarse friction dust
Просмотров 553Месяц назад
This set of bow drill made from goat willow (Salix caprea) did not work due to too coarse friction powder. I have experienced this many times with willow especially with darker colored wood. Such wood is likely to contain more wood extractives which makes it more difficult to get an ember. I tried using different drilling techniques without success. The friction dust was quite course. The strin...

Probably the best, cheapest and simplest way to sharpen your scandi grind knife
Просмотров 4,3 тыс.4 месяца назад
I´m almost only use the Mora Classic knife, so the way I demonstrate to sharpen a scandi grind knife in this video fulfills all my needs. Making a sharpening board from wet sandpaper and a piece and a board of some sort (in this case a skirting board) is cheep and works very well. Make sure the board has a flat and smooth surface. I use wet sandpaper between 120 to 1200 grit depending on the co...
Making a Sami nuorssjo, the best long log fire
Просмотров 735 тыс.6 месяцев назад
The Sami nuorssjo was one of the fires used when the Sami people were following and looking after their reindeer. They traveled light and stopped where the reindeer stopped and slept there and the next morning they moved on. It's not a fire you do every day it was used when you were on the move. It's probably the best fire to sleep beside if you don´t have a sleeping bag as it will keep you war...
Fire with spruce boughs in northern Sweden during winter
Просмотров 1 тыс.7 месяцев назад
The spruce twigs can be a bit icy so I used a piece of birch bark to light the twig bundle. I prefer to make the fireplace on the ground so first I have to dig away the snow. It´s a lot easier if the firewood is arranged in piles of different dimensions before you light the fire. Hope you enjoy.
Fire lighting, the large twig bundle
Просмотров 6159 месяцев назад
The large twig bundle or the emergency twig bundle is well described in the legendary Morse Kochanskis book Northern Bushcraft. This bundle is very helpful in various situations such as lighting an emergency fire. You can have it prepared in your shelter and just grab it when you need it. Its a good choice in bad weather were you can put birch bark, fatwood or any easy to light material in the ...

The twig bundle is nothing new and is well described in the book Northern Bushcraft written by the legendary Mors Kochanski. The handful twig bundle can be made in different ways depending on the material at hand. It can also be held differently and lighted in different ways. The method used in this video works fine in most weather conditions as you hold it in your hand you kan move it around a...
Bow drill in the rain
Просмотров 1,9 тыс.9 месяцев назад
We have had a very much rain lately so I thought why not go out and try to make a bow drill fire:-) I used a dead, standing alder trunk for the spindle and hearth. Out of the same material I made a feather stick and a handful of wood scrapings, the rest I used as fire wood. Hope you enjoy. Mattias
Acorn porridge and flint and steel fire
Просмотров 86010 месяцев назад
Acorns are high i energy and a good food, but you have to leach out the astringent, bitter taste that comes from the tannin. Here I crushed the acorns, pealed off the shells and crushed them some more. The finer the pieces the better and faster the leaching. You can make it into a flour and then leach it as some Native Americans did. The leaching can be made in various ways. Leaching them in a ...
Primitive fishing for flatfish using a baited line
Просмотров 91111 месяцев назад
Made a 40 meter main line of retted linden bark (Tilia cordata). I attached 10 snoods made of braided linden bark to the main line, each with a bone gorge. I baited the bone gorges with a piece of herring. A stone sinker was attached to one end of the main line. The main line was laid out on the seabed to catch flatfish. I caught one fine European flounder (Platichthys flesus) that totally swal...

Fire with green dwarf birch and fish cooking
Просмотров 353Год назад
Dwarf birch is found in the north and mountain areas. It can be used green for fire and in certain areas its the most common fuel. It has been used for this by the Sami people. You don´t need any cutting tools for this just use your hands and break off the twigs and branches. Its not a long lasting fire you have to add fuel often but it works for cooking a fish or a brew. I found dead twigs to ...
Bow drill without any modern cutting tools...and a fish
Просмотров 903Год назад
I thought it was time to make a fire with the bow drill without using any modern cutting tools. For the spindle and hearth I used salix which usually works fine and the inner bark from salix was used for the cordage. The cordage was braided which I think works better than a twisted one, but i snapped anyway. I just tied it together with a reef knot and continued to drill. The most time consumin...
How to create large, hot sparks with the ferrocerium rod
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.Год назад
This way of using the ferrocerium rod creates well aimed and large, hot sparks if done properly and its the one method I use the most. A common problem I often notice is that the steel scraper is pushed into the tinder when creating the sparks. Depending on what kind of tinder you have pushing the steel scraper into the tinder can be a big problem. With this method that is not an issue since yo...

So the wedges and long stick, they keep the top log from toppling?
Go out hiking in the beautiful forest for an hour , then spend 5 hours lighting a fire , go to bed .
The Sami people were very resourceful if they came up with this. The coldest night I ever spent outdoors was about 15 F and i was not nearly as comfortable. Yeah, the fire always goes out. Good show, thank you.
Looks like you keep warm by building the bloody thing, jeeze what a waste of effort.
I just LOVE Mora Knives , have several ... Thanks for sharing this Video ..
I couldve built a cabin and made a fire and had the hole house warm in that time lolo
No offense but who takes 2 or 3 hours to build a fire?😂. Maybe for a party.
The time it has taken you to do this, you will have frozen to death. Who can spend so long in a survival situation to make a fire.
Ah, beautifully done. Subbed.
Yes, it will keep you warm all night I'm sure. Problem is it takes you all night to make it. Highly labor intensive! Good thing that "days" are long in the North!
It's when you want to take some time for crafting in your survival situation
Ha. Could have built a friggin house with all that time. If you had a shelter already, and you didnt need to conserve energy, then maybe...
Should you not secure the surrounding environment first before starting your fire ?
Those really nice Finnish Army wool pants are becoming a rarity, Great video!
what is the purpose of making the logs that specific length?
👍🏻
Tack 👍🏻
Wtf is fatwood
🪶 ✨ ✌️
Need one on the other side of the bed
This is very cool. Ill give it a go. Thanks mate.
How come the long branch stopping the top log rolling off didn’t burn away fast?
Such a big log for one person. Talk about wasteful.
Imagine you're freezing to death in the forest and you run across this guy and he says I'll get a fire going
Very interesting process. Never seen something like this. Thank You. 👍
That dude is 2 handing that hatchet like it's his first time.
Luxury edition - one either side. A bit tricky if you get the spacing wrong…
Looks like it took a few hours to start up some 🔥
Useless approach to being in the woods. Spend all day to make a fire that will last one night. Useless and devoid of reality, whether being a survivalist or just being out in the woods for fun. Stacked deadwood timber, air gaps for flow, fat wood for ignition, staking for immobilizing, deflecting heat toward you. If you spent more than two hours gathering and setting up, you are eccentric with no concept of time and bedding down in the wrong spot. The only thing I got out of this was 25 cm a night. The rest was as tedious and rediculous as I've witnessed.
too much work for something that is not efficient. there are better and easier ways.
Very cool
Well Done! 17:13 Chess nuts roasting on an open fire.
I could have built this in half the time ..using a spoon and a copy of Juggs magazine!
Seriously??? Burns for 6 hours but took 8 hours to make.. 🤡🌏🤦♂️
Rad!
Leave it to the Finns. We’re clever buggars when it comes to outdoorsy stuff.
Was the juice worth the squeeze?
Great result! It does not always have to be expensive... sometimes i need to remind myself of that as well.
I had survival training in the Marines and learned several ways to stay warm with and without a fire. This was a new one. Never too old to learn something new. Better to have every idea you can when it comes to survival!
Dude you may as well built you a log cabin, you had a good start. Shame to waste all that work.
Cool Liked and sub’d
Super informative, and great demonstration of skill. Thank you.
not safe for the wood, that can get all place on fire, need protection for the wind
Man kan se att du har ett fantastiskt muskelminne!
Tack så mycket, har ju gjort det några gånger😊
a waste of t ime
Great vid,but what's all the constant banging in the background?
This is the dumbest idea in history. All that trouble for a fire?
Al just stick with petrol
Ha ha ha. Tree hugger! Lol
Can anyone tell me what saw he is using? I am looking to add to my gear and need a quality saw . Any input would be greatly appreciated
