Winter Bushcraft Trip in Snow - Survival Candle - Canvas Poncho Shelter
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- Bushcraft and camping in the snow with some cooking and woodcraft. Using the Polish Lavvu poncho as shelter. Second night the wick was too short in the lantern so made a candle the next day. Last time I did this candle people said you can't make a candle out of sap without beeswax in the mix. So this time I made sure to prove them wrong. So let me tell you about it.
This candle have a strip of birch bark as wick. It doesn't really work as a normal wick where fire cling on to it. The wick burns up fast and leaves like a small elevation of carbonized residue on the surface in the warm sap. That is the place where the flame holds on too. This candle is a bit slow in the start when you light it and sometimes needs to be relit a couple of times. In wind it won't work. The downside with not having a real wick is it is very sensitive to the slightest wind. As with fatwood you harvest, sap will also have different amount of resin in it from time to time. Every time I make this candle it burns a bit different. Normally, the point with mixing wax to the sap is to make it burn slower. Uncontrolled fire on spruce sap burns too much and too fast. But I have never found beeswax in the wild so I had to think of a way to make it work anyway, as always fast and simple or else I don't see the point in making it. The stones on top work as dampers where you can control the burn to your liking. This time the burn was a bit sparky because it was snowing when I made it. Moisture got into the sap mix. The tiny explosions of water evaporating made the flame more erratic. Im not sure if this shortened or prolonged the burn time. On one hand maybe the moisture slowed things down, on the other I know erratic burn is never good. But I normally have heating and cooking in mind when it comes to fires so who knows. But if the point with a candle is to see in the dark you want one without moisture to avoid the flickering light. There is also the idea to mix other things in the sap like ash or dirt to slow the burn but I have not tried that yet. Of course a small piece of cotton etc also will work as a wick in an emergency.
The optimal use of this candle are in calm dark places. In a cave for example. I would light it when I need it and blow it out directly. This way it would last for days. The total burn this time was about an hour. Last time I made one was in summer. That one burned longer, but there can be many circumstances explaining why. It was another piece of sap, different temp, season, wind, a steady burn that led to I could put the stone ring in real tight, making a small steady flame that at times burned so controlled it almost looked frozen in time. Like a picture. It was really cool. The smoke from this candle is pretty nasty so bear that in mind if using it in a smaller tent. It would need good ventilation above.
Thanks for watching!

I grew up in Park County Colorado and this is how I lived growing up. Love this way of life! As it happens I'm moving back after all these years to where I grew up.
Thank you Swedewood for taking us along another great journey in nature.
Thanks for watching!
언제나 놀랍고 평온해지는 영상이에요. 저희 엄마가 무척 좋아하셔서 항상 새로운 영상을 기다린답니다. 한해동안 좋은 영상 감사해요^^건강하세요!!
Thank you very much!
드디어 내가 좋아하는 겨울 영상을 볼수있어서 너무 행복 합니다 눈 내리는거 너무 멋있어요
Thanks!
Ingeniously adaptive, sir! One time I had a lantern chimney glass shatter when a rain squall blew water on it. I then made a crude candle using a piece of leather bootlace for a wick and cooking oil for fuel. A mere puff of breeze would blow it out if it wasn't shielded, but it worked.
Nicely done video, as per your standard, my friend.
Thank you my friend!
Hello from Oklahoma! Good Video! If a person pays attention there are many lessons to be learned from U. Thanks for all U do. God Bless!
Thank you!
It is always this time of the winter. Peaceful and soothing content. ❤
th-cam.com/video/I0Znc95Ufig/w-d-xo.html hello
there is no greater feeling than sitting in a 1/2 Lavvu and seeing the first few snowflakes falling, absolutely loved that candle a wee project over the holiday season for me, our first snow has started to fall and some parts of Scotland will drop to minus 15 this week..kindest regards
Yes my friend. Agree on that! I wish you the best holliday.
@@Swedwoods compliments of the season to you and your family
An entire story told without a word spoken. Well done.
Thanks!
Camping without tent is something different. Goor job 👍
Thank you!
Great cinema again, it is so cool to join you to the woods, nearly as it would be real and I could smell and feel the fire, the trees and the beautiful swedish scenery. Thank you for this beauty🙏 and all the best from 🇦🇹🤠👍
Thanks!
Loved the candle...Never seen that one before. Great vid, as always, keep them coming. ATB
Thank you!
Again… GENIUS!
Thank you @Swedwoods for all you do!
Thank you!!
I love all your videos, your survival skills are amazing in the snowy winter and your candle is a masterpiece.
Thank you!
I learn something every time I watch.. love the pine sap candle!
Spruce! Thanks!
I loved it!
Wow this looks all cosy and warm but holy frigg, take my hat off to the fella he’s a tough cookie .
Thanks!
NICE. I've seen fat lamps but never thought of sap! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks!
Winter Bushcraft is the Best Bushcraft 👍❣️💤🐬💦 Thanks
Thanks!
Your way of surviving is amazing only because you make it easy with simple tools. Interesting
Thank you!
Perfect way to enjoy my coffee. Candle is pretty cool. Never seen a brace / auger bit set up like that . Charcoal adds texture to the steak. Have a great day
Thanks my friend!
Goog morning.

Salutations .
Thank you!
And once more an awesome video!
Thank you!
Great video mate. I too was out last night with the tarp in much the same and got to "hear" the lake start it's freeze for winter during the evening/night. Very magical, very relaxing...I'm glad I don't have to video the experience😀 but I do take my hat off to you that you do video the experience, so that all the folks at home can see how beautiful this country is. Respect as always sir, long may you continue to post. Ha det bra.
Thanks my friend!
Love all of the candle details you explain in the description! Thank you for another beautiful video, #Swedwoods.
Thank you my friend!
Swed👍👍 Awesome snowy trek in the bush with all the good stuff included. Lavvu shelter is perfect, waterproof, windproof, wearable and more. Too bad the hot blast lantern failed you, but they are more prone to that. Where there's fire, food isn't far behind and it usually makes me head to the kitchen... Nothing like snow in a forest, usually makes it dead silent unless the wind blows. The sap candle worked good given the circumstances, a tiny campfire in candle form with all the same traits. Well as always the filming was top notch as were the camp chores, no BS just pure utility. Thanks for the excellent trip and hard work bringing me along. Next time..
Thank you very much!
Качество видео - просто супер , выше всяких похвал . Давно подписан на канал , всегда с нетерпением жду новых видео
Thanks!
Thanks! That was a nice video. It’s so calming to see the quiet wilderness and trees and snow
Thanks!
Excellent video, as always. The candle was a first for me, must give that a try.
Thank you!

Как всегда,красота,тишина и покой🙂👍
Thanks!
Wow, tentacles growing out of the head !!!
Great film winter it's coming 👏👏👏
Thank you!
Very nice video. Thank you so much for showing your camping
Thanks!
I’ve got to say I really enjoyed your videos. Not many in this world can do bushcraft, survive with the basics, be creative and take on winter conditions. It’s a shame most of the younger generation don’t practice any skills related to bushcraft or know how to ruff it in the woods. Thanks for sharing your experience and videos.
Not ruff (rough) it, “we go to the woods to smooth it”
Thank you!
Amazing as usual
Very relaxing. Look forward to your next trip.
Thanks!
Great explanation of how the sap candle works*
Thanks!
Amazing Winter Camping Adventure !! Great Craftmanship. It’s very Relaxing To Watch Your Vlogs.
Thank you!
Great Pictures thank you
Thanks!
Excellent swing man 2:43
😁 thanks!
Thanks bro, good as always.
Thanks my friend!
I'm always looking forward to it
very cool😊
Thanks!
man of the world
always the best work & scenery, keep warm & dry sir
best wishes to you
Thank you!
You are the best all the time
Thank you!
@ walidzoro...: For sure! It is so wonderful that in this messed-up world there are still heroes there for us! You just have to know where to look.
As a swede I humbly appreciate the total silence of the (Swed)woods
Tack!
Swedwoods with the snow you bring us warmth home
I think your videos are great! I've been putting on your videos, when I lay in bed, with some nice and chill Lo-Fi on, with a warm cup of tea. Abslolutely loving it :)
Bushcraft withouit music on > w/ music on, anyone else?
Thanks!
@@Swedwoods no no no, thank YOU for your great content :) I'm just here to enjoy
I do the same thing! I listen to "Munknorr" or some other traditional Nordic or "Viking" music - but not too loud with a good ale or stout and always makes my weekend great with Swedwood roaming the Northern Forests! 👍
Sehr schönes Video. Mit der Kerze, gute Idee, aber schon sehr alt. Machten bereits die Wikinger und Germanen ähnlich. Man lernt es auch in manchen Armeen, bei Spezialeinheiten und beim Einzelkämpfertraining. Mit einem Bohrer, geht es viel einfacher, als mit einem Messer. Als Docht, nehme einen Schnürsenkel von den Schuhen, den im Harz getaucht, ein sehr guter Docht.

Thanks! If you have any information about others that made a candle out of sap only I appreciate any link you have. I have not found anything on the internet about this exept when they combine with modern material, which is of no interest here.
I was curious so I tried this with one of those fiberglass Tiki torch wics and it worked very well.
Kamp ve balık avını bende çok seviyorum türkiyeden selamlar☺️💕💕💕🇹🇷🇹🇷
j'ai adoré la video je vais aussi tenté cette chandelle naturel cette hiver
Thanks for watching!
Super filmik! Dziękuję!

Very very nice 👍
Thanks!
@@Swedwoods ❤️
My day’s of camping and sleeping outside have been gone for a fair number of years, being 70 years old and in fair health has seen to that. Then you release a video and I am young again and roaming the woods. Thank you so much for your content.
Thanks!
👍👍👍 .. absolutely!
At 72, my heart is as young as it ever has been. Unfortumately, my body doesn't necessarily agree 😏.
I felt the same way as joseph frasure while watching your video! I'm almost 65 and sleeping on the ground lost it's appeal until I started watching vids of folks camping setups. This video made me feel like I could have been there 👏👏👏
رحلة جميلة 🤩
Thanks!
дружище, я тебе завидую
i am in sahara and i like this video
Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks!

The same to you!
Hi there great video as usual, what’s the model and comfort rating of the carinthia bag? And do you still use the xtherm or is it retired thx?
Carinthia survival series.. wilderness is the model. Around -18C. Extreme temp around -30C. I still got the xtherm, a lot of plugged holes but still holds up. In a week or two the ground will be frozen and I will need it.
Miojo sempre salva!
What happened to your lantern? Did it run out of fuel? Or are you using a paraffin based fuel and it solidified? Cold weather means time to switch to kerosene for your lanterns if you can get it. I used to see it at local fuel stations years ago, but it's been quite some time since I've seen a kerosene pump in my area. Nowadays, I guess the vehicle and home heating fuel industry uses a diesel fuel product treated with some sort of anti-gelling compound to keep the diesel from gelling in the tank and fuel lines during cold weather for vehicle and outdoor heating oil tanks. What a great idea for making a handle eye on your auger bit! I would never have thought to use a shackle like that. My solutions thus far have been a bit more labor intensive. I like this idea!
No I have kerosene. The wick was done. Thanks for watching!
@@Swedwoods Ahhh something I hadn't considered! Guess I should add a spare wick to my possibles bag in case the wick goes kaput in my oil lantern.
So nice. My first feedback after watching almost of your videos for about a half year. There are many camp TH-camrs who pretend to be alone but work as a team. I think they aren't great. That is the reason I like yours. So I hope you don't do it in such way and keep your current way that you are doing now and after. I think the food recipes don't always have to be 'nature natural'. You can eat instant ramen, ready-made food kit, bottled sauce etc. It won't hurt the quality of your contents. They are rather pretty much 'natural' from my view. And there are not actually something we can call it food in the nature. Even if there are edible ingredients to catch and harvest in the field during the summer. They are not enough to sustain a grown up adult who needs enough calories to survive outdoor so... I hope you to eat well with anything you bought from supermarket.
And I hope the lengths of the contents to be long as possible as you can. In this video, I loved the candle-burning long take.
I play your contents during the night like a background video, to calm myself. It has some kinda function of ASMR as well. The buring sounds of woods were really nice. It doesn't have to be filled with so many things that you do. It doesn't have to be swtiching of many video files. You can just put a long take video that you filmed from your drone hovering standstill on the sky, watching down the beautiful northern winter forest. Or you can just put a long take film of campfires. I think they are really nice. Because it doesn't have to be informative(by being short and clear) but the subscribers are rather want to be feeling relaxed in the nature by watching your contents. Thank you! Stay safe in the winter forest.
Thank you !

非常喜欢你的视频
Thankx
Aslamo-Alaikum dear brother your All video very good I am from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Great videos, I enjoy watching these. Thank you! What poncho is that? Looks more roomy than plash palatka.

👍👍👍😊😊😊．．．My boss
You see can beautiful …..wow wow on fire 🔥
Alltid lika härligt att se dina små tips och trix för bushcraft. Dock förstår jag inte än varför du inte gå mer lättvikt. Jo canvas är fint som fan och står emot mycket. Men det gör nyare material också... faaaaast dom tål kanske inte en gnista heller.. ja.. jag är med.. men..... Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen... :) Fortsätt göra videos. Dom är alltid fina.
🤣🤣
Ja du svarade typ på din egen fråga. Jag använder lättvikt när jag kör stora tarps etc. En lavvu poncho är inte tung. En väger bara kring 1.5 kg (size2) vilket är mindre än många tält. Och de håller år efter år. Lättviktsmaterial byter jag ungefär var 3e månad. För de håller helt enkelt inte även om man är försiktig. Jag är ute varje vecka så anledningen att jag började köra på kvalitet var ekonomiska helt enkelt.
@@Swedwoods Hursom. Ha det bra där nere i södra Sverige. Tjoa till när du ska upp till dalarna så kör vi militärtält 12 med kamin och öl. :)
@@Swedwoods Då är jag med helt. :) Somsagt följt din kanal några år nu och vintern är fan det bästa. Tält med kamin och mysa med någon enstaka öl och lite kött.
Have really been enjoying your vids. Glad I found your channel. I've been admiring that wool sweater you were wearing in this vid and others. Any chance you could tell us what brand or model it is?
Thanks! Sorry dont remember the brand
Bonjour, merci pour votre vidéo ! Dans quel pays et quel région svp?
Grazie mille da Firenze
Thank you!
Awesome work thanks
What kind of camera do you use 🤔??
GH5 thanks
Is that a M1895 mess kit that you are using? Thanks for a great video again.
no its an old Swedish mess kit, Thanks!
Em là người việt nam.em thích trải nghiệm như thế. Nhưng không được.em coi video nhiều về anh Chúc anh mai mắn quà an lành
Great video, as always. Love that sleeping bag. What kind is it?
Thanks! Carinthia Wilderness
how far off grid do you go,do you come across others doing the same.
also i get the none talking part as it adds to the secluded feel of being alone maybe say a few things now and then.
also your cooking skills are so impressive you should do a cook book i know some things are Swedish but we can kind of follow the ingredients.
cool
Thanks!
Aah I wish there will be snow in Eastern Europe just like in Sweden
Good
สุดยอดเลยผมชอบมาก❤❤
Thanks!
คุณอาศัยอยู่ประเทศไหนเหรอ
Witaj Przyjacielu 🤗 bardzo dużo uczę się z twoich filmów przygody z tobą są odprężające dziękuję za twoją pracę pozdrawiam serdecznie życzę wszystkiego co najlepsze 🤗👍👏💪🐺🐾🏞️🥇☕🍰💚

what do you mainly use to record these beautiful shots? because I don't think it's a gopro..
😄 no no gopro. I use the Panasonic GH5 with a 12-60mm lens as my main camera. Some shots of fishing I use a Gopro though
