Making a slow match: how to prolong the life of an ember
The slow match also called Apache match, has been made of different materials by various indigenous people throughout the world. The purpose is that you can carry the embers with you so that you don't have to start a fire from scratch next time.
This one is made of dry juniper bark that´s been buffed up to finely shredded ball. Any similar bark can be used. When you have lit it It´s wise to look after it every hour or hour and a half. This juniper cigar went on for 11 hours.
Hope you enjoy

Bow drill failure. Too coarse friction dust
มุมมอง 6312 หลายเดือนก่อน
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
มุมมอง 5K5 หลายเดือนก่อน
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
มุมมอง 935K7 หลายเดือนก่อน
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
มุมมอง 1.1K8 หลายเดือนก่อน
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
มุมมอง 69310 หลายเดือนก่อน
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 ...

Bow drill in the rain
มุมมอง 2K10 หลายเดือนก่อน
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
มุมมอง 939ปีที่แล้ว
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
มุมมอง 972ปีที่แล้ว
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
มุมมอง 372ปีที่แล้ว
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
มุมมอง 947ปีที่แล้ว
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...

    I'm going to hard disagree with the label of this vid. Building 2 upside-down fires is way more simple and way less effort. With a much less likely chance of it going out on you at midnight leaving you cold in the morning

    In France you could get a €200 fine for making a fire less than 250 meters from a forest. Maybe the fine has increased because 200€ was 15 years ago.
