My best fire lighting method- Pt 7, Solo Canoe Trip, June 2019

- I show my best firecraft design/method for fire lighting on wet ground: A dry platform is made with a mini wind tunnel underneath, which creates a bottom draw oxygen supply for the igniting tinder and kindling. I use my favourite fuels: black spruce splits, branches and twigs, and birch bark. The draw is enhanced by the fire rock set with the high chimney rock.
This fire size and rock set is designed for a summertime low cooking fire, using my Purcell Trench grill. The grill is set low, and splits and branches are fed underneath as needed. The inside ends of the fuel sticks burn faster, and the unburned ends can be pushed in as they burn.
Without a grill you can rig pot hanger sticks. In winter with snow when rocks are not available, I scale up the fire size for throwing a lot of heat to me for warmth and drying. In winter the stringer logs chosen for the bottom are thicker to make the starting platform higher to stay out of the snow.
Part 7 in this series: Day 2 of a planned week-long solo canoe trip, Boreal Forest, Northwestern Ontario, mid-June, 2019.
Thanks for watching, please stay tuned for more videos in this trip series.

Wintertrekker is the best. How does he only have 15.5K subscribers . we have to get the word out about him #Wintertrekker
2 Wintertrekker videos in one day! My Christmas prayer is answered.
Why are all my favorite outdoor people Canadian?
cuz Canada has millions of empty acres to hike and play in!! Great place
I sure love your videos. The way you teach is awesome. I had the good fortune of making two trips to WCPP this summer and got to practice your methods. I have a jute twine brass tube rig that you taught me to make and I used it on the trip! We camped this weekend here in Texas and I complained how much I dislike the firewood here. Seems everything around Austin grows with a really twisted grain. Dense, hard as bedrock, and nearly impossible to split. It's so nice to see your excellent Spruce twigs and cooking splits. Good stuff! Thank you for making the videos.
Great, love your rope tinder technique.
great videos here and nice to see someone that really has it down pat, great explanations throughout, many people forget how important it is to look after your gear and tools etc, nicely done.
Sure miss your vids Hoop, hope all is well with thee and ye.
At last a breath of fresh air, all the way from Canada.
So good to see Hoop back 👍
Nicely done👍🏻
God those flies how in the world is that fun... having them constantly gnawing at ya flesh is just wearing !!!
You are having a productive day! Nice video!
Simply the best channel for canoe tripping/bushcraft…..imho!! Miss his videos very much……does anyone know if he’s okay?? Haven’t seen ANY new content from him since right before Covid.
Nice, I felt warmer already watching this on a cold winter day.
good tip about building the little platform. i'll usually lay splits down as the base of the fire when the ground is wet, but i think that platform would work even better. thanks for posting! Thanks to your videos, I use a chimney rock as often as possible too. It works great!
Hoop, this is the how much your fans love your videos: I'm in LA helping a friend move back to Michigan. And in the few spare moments I have off the plane or out of the moving van, I find, watch, and comment on your videos! Keep 'em coming!
Great to have you back !
Easy Peasy, Hoop. Lets Have a Coffee ! Hoping 2020 Is Kind To Ya Bud ! Happy Trails From The Frosty East Coast
Another great educational video Hoop - keep 'em coming.
Those spruce twigs! and birch bark when damp is often a real dud, it sputters and spits and goes out more time than I like. If you can find some good spruce fat wood off an old spruce either a wound or at the base of the dead branch next to the trunk that will out shine wet birch bark any day, But don't get me wrong I love birch bark too. I've seen those brass tubes with jute, must make one up.
Tks for the two new videos for the holidays. Always so much knowledge. It's appreciated.
I sure do wish you'd post more from this trip if you have it, Hoop. I just rewatched this series. You're my favorite channel by far! Please keep'em coming.
Is he okay?? Miss his fantastic content……haven’t seen any new videos since right before Covid??
All caught up. Thanks for sharing, looked like a wonderful trip!
Excellent fire method. Works great!. Happy New Year Hoop.

I have built several of your braided firestarters for myself and to give as gifts (always make sure to reveal the source!!) - there is something soothing about making them once you get the hang of it. thank yee.
Most Excellent fire starting, a great method!
Well my friend; thanks for the good practical advise . Each of these gems gets deposited in my knowledge cache . When i need it you are once again thanked Brian 79
I like use of chimney rocks.
Hello TREKKER! SO good to go through the backwoods and waters with you once again. I like the waxed jute and pipe idea a lot. Gonna’ add that to my outfit. Always good to see your videos Bud. Please keep them coming.
Yours, Bubba
spruce twigs, learned, thank you.
Merry Christmas Hoop! Happy to see you back you are always refreshing to watch. So much information packed into your videos and just watching that boreal forest you camp in is a highlight of my day. All the best in the new year. Keep them coming channel is growing👍
Thank's for the helpful tip 🔥👍
Thanks for the Xmas gift Hoop!
Thank you!
I have had the honor of working with birch bark and there is nothing like it for starting fires, it burns like mad. We dont have that kind of birch where I live.
Hoop? Hoop? Is that you, buddy? Come closer to the fire. We thought you were swallowed up by the boreal forest. Glad you made it back.... There’s already people saying that on a calm, mid-summer moonlight night, if you listen carefully, you can hear the measured dipping of a paddle in the distance. The fireside stories are being told about a lost trekker in his canoe out on the lake, searching eternally for a brushed in portage he will never find........
Damn, son. Glad to see you post again.
Happy New Year!
Cheers!

-you forgot the Biological non-diversity of the Boreal forest(s) and where the Moss grows!
Very fun to watch. Hope you had a good Christmas Hoop?
I need to make of those braided jute tubes...I've watched your tutorial but not made one yet.
It's always interesting to see another take on starting a campfire. Thanks
One thought that popped in to my brain while watching this was: When did Fjallraven become the "official uniform pants" supplier for YT bushcrafters and campers everywhere?
Just curious really, I had never heard of the brand before I started watching YT videos and now I can recognize the logo at 20 paces.
Nice ignition, the fire 'sucks' air and burns brightly.
Would you please discuss the clothing you wear. Do you wax your pants? What boots do you wear for canoe trips?
