I envy you for having the patience and perseverance to make such beautiful curl sticks. I’ve done it a few times just to prove to myself I could in a pinch, but most of the time I’ll just squirt some alcohol on a cotton ball and be done with it. ;-) Also, due props to your camera person. Her creativeness and skills are under appreciated.
Thanks for such kind comments. 😊 The curls do take a little practice…and patience, depending on the wood. Sometimes they come easier than others. But when you need a fire, you do whatever you need to do. Conditions aren’t always ideal. Thanks, again & cheers!
That ax makes short work of the dead wood and another of your feather sticks sets the tinder ablaze. A delightful meal cooked in the wild makes a snowy winter evening all the more enjoyable. Thanks for sharing friends.
Hi Don! Yes, it has become a favourite tool in the woods. Saws are great but a good ax is vital. Thanks for watching! Cheers from your northern neighbours!
Hi Siro! Yes, LOVE that classic Mora knife! As a knife connoisseur, do you have any recommendations for a puukko carbon-steel blade? We are looking forward to your next woods adventure! Thanks for stopping by and stay well! Cheers!
Great adventure Dan / Nancy,,,, My wonderful wife enjoyed your video with me this time,,, That’s the first Oval carbon steel pan, that I’ve seen. What’s the name/ brand of it,,,??? Definitely Unique and looked quite Packable,,,, Delicious looking fried potatoes,,, I always like to add extras,,,, Blessings to All Y’all,,, Joshua
Hey Joshua, Fell a little behind answering comments on our last video. Send you a response on your other comment about the pan a few minutes ago. Wonderful to hear that your wife enjoyed the video as well. Always nice when we can do things as a couple with our beloved. Thanks so much for watching and have a great weekend! Cheers!
I think those coyotes were asking if they could have some of that delicious looking food. Nice video as always and thanks for sharing. I like that long handle on the frying pan, who makes them?
We figured the coyotes caught a whiff of bacon when they started to howl and no doubt would have loved finding a crumb or two for themselves. We love the long-handle carbon steel pan but have no idea who made it. Picked it up at a thrift store several years ago as it worked great for old Coleman camp stove and have never seen one since. Wish we could find the manufacturer! Thanks so much for watching. 🙏 Cheers! 😊
I often wonder how many times the firebox needs to be refilled with wood while cooking these meals. I realize much matters on the hardness and quality of the wood used in the fire, the diameter of the wood, how the wood is distributed, etc. Given all the variables. I’m still interested in a rough idea.
Hi Andrew, For that meal, we used about 2/3 of what we prepared in the video, wood-wise. The first punky stump we used just to sit on but the rest was cut for the fire and pretty solid (portions of the stump and the dead-standing about 12’ tall, probably 4-5” diameter at the base: dry, firm soft wood, not punky). The fire burned about 2 hours once it got going. The Firebox takes far less wood than a regular campfire but is easy to control and maintain . That was a fun question for us and you clearly already have an excellent sense of the variables involved. Thanks for taking the time to watch! Cheers!
Doing plenty of wood prep is part of the fun (not to mention warming one up the first time!) and then allows for the pleasure of simply relaxing and enjoying the fire for many hours afterwards. Thanks for watching! Cheers! 😊
Some serious wood processing and cooking right there.. Not fair, already had dinner and now I am hungry again. 😋
Sorry about that, Max 😉 Do appreciate you watching - hope you are well, in spite of being hungry! Cheers! 😊
You truly have mastered the art of making feathersticks.

Another amazing video, as always. Great location, great food made on the amazing firebox. Lovely experience. Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for coming along. 😊 Cheers!

Thats a lot of chopping for a twig stove!
