This is NOT the highest bonfire in the world. This video is from 2015, we set the world record in 2016. There are probably a lot more videos of 2016 around youtube if you search for them! :)
@@Luke-rt9bx ya pallets get fucked up all the time but they are reused. They need to be fixed sometimes. Lotta money in that shit actually. Alot of places that have alot of freight coming in but not going out on pallets will have a surpluss and give then to you for free. You can sell them to other shippers.
@@pigeonette1 Don't you know? "Finland" isn't real, it's a made up landmass to cover up for illegal russian and japanese fishing in the area. I mean have you heard their "language"? Obviously made up on the spot, if you ask me.
The chance of making fatal errors when climbing is pretty much the same as to fall when climbing a ladder, probably less because the ladder actually can tip over. As you can see in the video, you maintain three points of contact when climbing with your legs and arms, and even so the point of contact is on the inside of the pallets where it's literally impossible that anything comes loose. This is because of the enormous weight on the pallets which keeps everything in place. Every pallet is evaluated before being sent to the top. We've built tall bonfires like this since 1964, so obviously there has been developed a lot of techniques for every task we have to do. :)
Whats funny to me is the fact that at 10:03 you can see pallet with ČD on it. That stands for České dráhy.....state raildroad company. Its a small world we live in.
The way the build it is not acceptable in my opinion, pallets aren't flat and they use nails or screws and boards to secure the pallets, if the people in Northern Ireland done this on their bonfires they would easily beat the "record" but fair play to them its cool to see :)
@@mrnugget1690 “not acceptable in my opinion-.. they use nails or screws” How else would they prevent it from falling over? If it fell while someone was climbing it to add more or to light it, there would be a huge problem
What this demonstrates is man's ability to build upwards using very basic materials. Historians keep looking for answers as to how ancient Egyptian built the pyramids. I think part of the answer lays in this documentary
Well actually burning wood is completely different to fossil fuels in terms of pollution. Check out Northern Ireland bonfires, we put tyres and waste in them lol :)
Our bonfire is built for height, not volume. In 2016 the bonfire measured 47.396m high and broke the world record. The volume was nowhere close to Scheveningen with about 2,500m3, but that's because of the way we use the material to sustain the height.
Alexander Heen your a fucking clown no way you could build a 47,000 meter free standing tower that's higher than any modern steel skyscraper your talking around 150,000 feet check your facts dum dum!
@JamesMinor 47.396m usually refers to 47 meters and 396 milimeters - at least for Europeans. For validation of the record: www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/tallest-bonfire
Gary Green there's only one difference though. A pyro wouldn't make you watch a 11 odd minute video and not even show you video footage of a fire. Fire is the tits!

u can also chance the title
The title is correct. This is from the worlds largest ANNUAL bonfire celebration, but the tallest bonfire ever built was built this year.
No health n safety ropes?
wtf are health ropes.
vishal chan that's a health nope!
kids in Africa could eat that wood.
No, but they could cook their meals with it.
+Andy Green What meals?
Will_Wolf I laughed way too hard at this comment
I’m a pallet repairer and this was the best thing to watch while repairing
That’s a really thing?
...and I thought I had a shitty job
😂

cool to see brave young men doing daring things. never lose the spirit!!!!
Meanwhile in Finland: No, too dangerous. The water could catch fire.
did you make this place up 'FINLAND'
@@keepitrandom5066 im sorry what

Osha in the us wouldn't let them climb up that.
It would not be allowed anywhere in the USA either. Nor would the workers be allowed to climb it.
2021 peeps be like:
Why you wasting so much expensive wood?
Yes, why wood you?
why are you using so much expensive oxygen?
Is at the top... forgot lighter xD would be funny
Then rain,
I don’t like you’re profile picture
The climb made me cringe, it only takes one bad pallet OR one false move and it's lights out for the guy.
I'm pretty sure they are not loosely stacked, prob nailed together.
That's why they hire mountain climbers to do the job

@@Slinning1 as a carpenter I found this very interesting!! That is a highly engineered structure! Great work!!!
They use screws and nails to put em together
I can imagine climbing the whole way up and looking around at each other like "who has the lighter¿?".... 😂🤣
Having driven a forktruck, I would never climb any pile of pallets no matter who engineered it. Uniformity is an illusion.
roger komula broke my back due to a stack of pallets
As another forklift driver I completely agree fuck that hahaha

There are LPR and CHEP pallets to 😝
Have you been to Craigyhill in Larne, UK ? I've subscribed to your channel 🙂
I live there, and they are going for a new world record this year.

@@mrnugget1690 Its safe asf. There r people controlling it, pouring water on it. If it falls over it'll just fall into the water.
2045: spectators gather and chat about how dangerous this celebration was 20 years ago as the annual bonfire is being lit by a drone.
splinters galore
Lol
Ok🥺🤧
Congratulations to the young gentlemen who maintain this nice custom!
Scientists: cars are the biggest contributor to global warming.
This dude: am I a joke to you?
This is good carbondioxide💁♂️ Not fossile fuels
this is nothing compared to cars

*BONFIRE LIT*
This was an awesome video!!! It takes alot of balls to climb that tower..my respect!!
2 years later im here from lachys vid, im about to watch it and that idea seems sick
Looks so cool. Really hope to make it to Norway some day to see this
Tik Tok braught me here
Fantastic work ... Just remember; fire is a good servant but a bad master.
That free solo climb was no joke. Pallets are used in compression, the fasters aren't known for their pull strength.
Man.... I'm at pucker factor 9.25 just WATCHING this!!!!
That second song... I need it
would love a copy of that second song!
My legs felt wobbly watching you climb
What a waste of timber, still really cool though
They should shoot a flaming arrow up there. Or make use of the drone or some remote control mechanism that sets it off.
Hardcore parkour
2021 wya
Is this event only for locals or do you encourage tourists to come and watch as well? This is dope
It’s open for everyone starting next year :)
Clicks to see a bonfire. Gets a climb.
What this demonstrates is man's ability to build upwards using very basic materials. Historians keep looking for answers as to how ancient Egyptian built the pyramids. I think part of the answer lays in this documentary
Yes, pallets and 10,000 ton stones weigh the same. Good analogy.
How are they able to climb with that massive balls?
Woah that looks so scary and dangerous without any safety gear
Noone :
Pipin lightning the beacons of Gondor :
the real question is why was that the most entertaining thing I've seen today
Jenga anyone?
Lol. I had that thought too.
Good bonfire but I think there are similar if not bigger ones in N. Ireland on the 11th July
Might I recommend a ceremonial fiery arrow next?
Theres one being built in northern Ireland for the 12th of july that may be bigger when Finished, check out craigyhill bonfire Facebook
Not in the same league, this is 30.000 pallets built by hand. And kids
@@Randomdude21-e as are the ones in NI
Wouldn’t it be cooler if someone can shoot a burning arrow to the top. Maybe not, but for sure would like to see that happen lol
I’m a regular size guy but would be terrified thinking my weight could tip it over
How smart to lit this tower when a few dudes still have to climb 34 meters down.
All of that and then no actual footage of it burning?
Fucking clickbait
@@XxxM4DPRODUCTIONxxX 100% this video sucks.
To be fair the video was titled “how we lit the largest bonfire” not “how we lit the largest bonfire and some footage of it burning”
Don’t wanna be the boomer of this comment section
But that’s literally why global warming is a big issue
Truly beautiful though
Well actually burning wood is completely different to fossil fuels in terms of pollution. Check out Northern Ireland bonfires, we put tyres and waste in them lol :)
@@tavfin I completely respect your opinion. But with all due respect, please just shut up. Thank you.
Burning wood aint that bad. Factorys, cars and planes are much worse
according to Guinness the largest (8695 m3) annual boinfires are at Scheveningen (Netherlands) between Duindorp and Scheveningen competing.
Our bonfire is built for height, not volume. In 2016 the bonfire measured 47.396m high and broke the world record. The volume was nowhere close to Scheveningen with about 2,500m3, but that's because of the way we use the material to sustain the height.

Also, just to make sure: The bonfire in the video is from 2015. The world record is from the bonfire in 2016.
You wouldn't believe it's only 34 metres. Amazing how much higher it seems from up top.
I thought it was at least 50 meters, wow!
Great video!!!
WELL DONNE JOB!
and this is how Pyro maniacs are born😂😂😂
Gary Green there's only one difference though. A pyro wouldn't make you watch a 11 odd minute video and not even show you video footage of a fire. Fire is the tits!
Did that man just test a pallet with both of his hands at once? If that thing did break he wouldn't have had another hand to grab onto anything...
So this is where are the pallets in dead by daylight went
Have you ever been to ballycraigy
when are you light it
Not gonna lie, I wouldn't wanna climb that without a harness
When you leave the new guys on the job unattended.
Officials should have never let these guys climb without safety harnesses...
Who else came to the video because of pewdiepie?
Yup
looks like a nice place to live
Is this symbolic of a famous library?
You can just free climb that?! Like, no harness or nothing?
That used to be the biggest craigyhill bonfire in northern Ireland beat the world record this year go have a look on RUclips fantastic
Who else saw the amazing race episode with this.
Well there's 999 wood
Just what I was thinking
upcyclers probably watch this and mourn...
How much money is spent on pallets?
None, they’re donated from local companies. Most of them can’t be used in logistics anymore because of date.
No one else noticed the alien spaceship in the sunset lmao
Do you just jump off this ting to get down
I HEAR THE TRANSFORMERS SOUNDTRACK, I UPVOTE
Why not build it hollow to create a chimney effect with a strong draft? Norwegians are astute fire smiths!
It would never be able to stand if it was hollow. This year's bonfire was around 300 tons. The one in the video is probably around 150.
Minewhile, osb is 70 dollars a sheet in USA that could have made a lot of osb sheets pretty wasteful.
Never wear a straw jacket to a bonfire.
What I don't get is why start the fire, while on top of a 100 foot wooden structure. You're gonna be in one hell of a hurry climbing down...
bonfire capital of world Belfast.
Nope
This should be called "some guys standing around and climbing a bit for 10 minutes, and then start a fire, SNOOZFEST".
They could have made an epic descent with a zip line
This is why I wanna a Norwegian
You can’t just own a Norwegian.
pesticide pallets much...?
Climbing the side of that don’t look dangerous at all. One slip and you’re done
What's the fall death count at for 2022?😂
Bygde du på slinningsbålet i år?
Det stemmer. :)
Kjenner du Yngve da?
Stemmer det også, jeg og Yngve var bålsjefer i lag i fjor og i år.
Alexander Heen han r fetteren min
Kornytheweirdo p
We must call Rohan for help!
now I want to watch the lord of the rings again
11 minutes of shaky-cam climbing and then a few stills of the actual fire. What a waste of time.
You decided to watch the video💀
Why not parachute down?
I'm surprised they didn't jump off with parachutes.
All the money spent on wood you could have had a helicopter drop coals on top
They get to the top, people start playing massive Jenga at the bottom
Its 300 tons, would be hard to pull
@@Randomdude21-e 150
Sooo 11 minutes of someone climbing up and down and a few pics at the end of it actually burning?
greta just lost 3 weeks of her life because of this hahahahaha
Anyone have a match by any chance
Probably going
Now this is on my list w/ Skydiving and Burning Man.....
so stupid, so easy to fall off
Why no use bow with arrow to lit it up
Too high to do that
Awesome
Why would lite it from the top though
It would fall over in a short time if they light kt from the bottom, and all go into the sea.
Climbing that thing..what a stupid, stupid, stupid thing to do.
Low chance of falling. You can fuck up of you climb fast
im here from laxhy lol
Crazy.
