While true, I think the reason he did not use this traditional method is that the youtube audience is international and is pretty hard to pull off if you can't 'perkele' in the right tone.
Greetings from BC, Canada. This is a very good video, thank you. I shave sticks like you do with a puukko or old Sami Leuku in winter. I also own and use Billnas Axes which I like very much. It is funny to hear a Finnish Man say 'Cowboy Coffee' when you live close to the Sami People who have a rich tradition and rituals around drinking coffee. I was born and lived many years in England, but three generations back my ancestors are Sami from the North of Finland. I will look at more of your videos...happy adventures friend, WS
nice video mate. I like that you used matches. That being said I personally would have used flint and steel, simply because it is my favourite method of lighting fires.
You are so sympathic … I like your Tutorials very much… Hoping that you don ´t feel ashamed as I was told that Finns can ´t handle compliments… or at least aren ´t used to deal with it… :-) Looking forward to watching your next Videos … :-). Greetings from Germany from an Austrian Lady :-)
Love the quality of your recent videos! Also found some similarities in both of our styles of making fire, cos I too always make square shaped "foundation" and use tinder made out of wood (or bark) itself not using paper or stuff brought with me - with or course the exception of the fire steel or matches. I still do things differently as I usually start the fire from underneath the wood and I also skip doing the feathers, cos I have always found it working to prepare thin and fine wood to be placed as the bottom layer underneath everything else just above the tinder. From up there the wood gets thicker layer by layer, so they ignite each other. I always try to prepare the fire so that I only have to use one matchstick per fire.
Yes, I do as you some times. I have also a goal, that it has to be done by with only one matches 😂 if I need two, I am embarrassed 🤣 I feel that this is easy with ready fire woods, but really good training for the hiking trips. We hike longer trips mostly in wilderness and you find the wood you find and have to make fire with those, when you are tired, maybe cold and hungry. Then you want everything to work out fast and easy.
Huomenta! Great watching your video. Reminded me of last summer when I was near Jyväskylä. I was really interested in the wood feathering technique as I've always found using paper overly smokey when starting fires. I look forward to trying this next time. Greetings from Australia!

Hey! Really love your channel! One thing: Is it allowed to use gas stoves anywhere in Finland (national park, forest)? And where in Helsinki we can use fire stoves (Hobo stoves)?
Hello, you can use gas stoves everywhere outdoors. Those twig stoves or wood stoves, have same rules in general what we have for having a fire. So you need the permission of the land owner and if there is fire ban, you can't make the fire. But our public administration services has given the rules for their area like national parks, that one can use there twig stove, if there is no fireban. BUT these rules can change, so if you go to a national park, always check the rules from nationalparks.fi. Every national park has different rules...
@@caideI will go and check… I am looking for a gas stove which is cheap, but can be used for 3-4 hours and above all is safe. Any idea is appreciated and welcome!

In the US we call this an upside down fire [ small wood on top of the bigger wood] and feathersticks. would like to see ya lite that with a regular match in the wind?
In the US--at least in the South (which doesn't need the warmth of a fire that often, admittedly), we would stack the wood, but start it AT THE BOTTOM, since the heat and flames go upward, bringing the rest of the firewood into play. Does starting it at the top offer some advantages that I am not aware of?
When you start from bottom, you will force the cold and wet wood to burn and it will smoke a lot = it does't burn clean. When you start from the top, it will burn clean, burn will go slowly fron top to down.
It all depends on the coffee you use but if you use fine ground coffee, i put 2 "handfuls" for one cup, it makes somewhat regular coffee, leaning towards stronger than milder. I let it sit there for about 20 mins or so too, keeping it warm with the help of few coals or just by placing it near the fire (just don't let it boil).
I wish I spoke Finnish. My mother is Finnish, Hakala is her maiden name and we also have some Heikenens in our family. She didn’t speak English until school.
It is doable, if the wood are not completely wet. Usually there is dry in the middle of a log. Then just split it small pieces and use middle part for lighten it. I have now own lean-to shelter and I use wet wood almost every day.

Loved the video! I am from Canada and this technique will work amazing for up here!
I assumed the finnish style included yelling "Perkele!" A whole bunch untill the wood spontaneously combusted.
That is ofcourse one part of it. It includes Koskenkorva also
@Caj Koskinen the alcohol? Sorry I'm American only know a little finnish phrases or words from my grandparents
@@jhtsurvival yes, cheap "vodka".
@Caj Koskinen makes sense lol. I love me some cheap vodka too.

... And thanks. Maybe next step could be starting the fire with fire steel every time. I do that too rarely.
Your videos have made a leap in quality recently. Good stuff.
Thanks. With day trips its easier to improve quality.

Awesome video
Thanks man!

I have used regular matches with a wind for years. Sometimes you just need a bunch of them 😁
@@caide yes you can, with enough matches and burnt fingers. Liked your video
@@standingbear998 🤣 Yes that it how it starts, when you use it in hiking trips 10 years, then it starts to go pretty easy.
In the US--at least in the South (which doesn't need the warmth of a fire that often, admittedly), we would stack the wood, but start it AT THE BOTTOM, since the heat and flames go upward, bringing the rest of the firewood into play.

When you start from bottom, you will force the cold and wet wood to burn and it will smoke a lot = it does't burn clean.
When you start from the top, it will burn clean, burn will go slowly fron top to down.
The upside down fire also burns longer and needs less managing/poking. Works great in a fireplace, you light it and forget about it.
@@dooleyfussle8634 it is much better in fire place. You can burn the gas better and you dont get much pollution.
Very nice knife
Thanks!
10 mind in and still waiting for Finnish!

It all depends on the coffee you use but if you use fine ground coffee, i put 2 "handfuls" for one cup, it makes somewhat regular coffee, leaning towards stronger than milder.

Could you do another video with wet wood, in minus 20? More challenging,but you seem that you could do that?!
