Apprently if you put dirt/soil in the gaps on each layer, the fire would last all night as is slows the burn. (saw in another video) Would be a good side by side test with a time lapse.
When I was in high school, we used to make a fire like that on our sledding hill. Plenty of room for everyone to stand around it since you couldn't get much closer than ten feet. Slide down, walk back up, warm up, and go again. We'd see steam coming off us as the fire dried our coats and jeans. Fun times.
Thanks very much Seoul, really happy to hear you enjoyed it. I put quite a bit of work into this video so it's really nice when I get positive comments like this. Thank you for watching my friend 🌲☺️🌲
Wonderful video, cousin. Very informative. Thank you for sharing. Hoping you and yours are having a wonderful holiday. Wishing you nothing but the best in the year to come. Take care 💚🍀🌲💮 🎇🎉
Thanks Babs, having a good holiday yes, weather has been miserable here though, rain, rain and more rain ha, oh and some good old wind too ha ha. Happy Christmas and New year to you and yours also. 🌲😊☘️🌲
This style also works well on a much smaller scale; a wire cylinder ten to twelve inches high, wide as you want -hardwood - little smoke, no sparks, let’s me use it under a tarp or pop-up canopy, near the front, to have a fire nearby.
With hard wood 3 ft long to start, and dirt in the cracks... it can last 45 hrs. I've seen it. Even with pine you can make it last all night. Very good skill to have😊
personally my favourite fire lay, Birch split up with some holly or pine kindling through the levels will do it good fire lay for damp winter cooking for mulit dayers leaves a nice bed of good embers
Hi, you seem nice and I liked the video to help the channel BUT: - if you want a real long lasting fire you need to but dirt between the logs so hot coals don't fall down burning everything much faster - you probably killed roots from being so close to trees on top of risking a delayed start for a forest fire it might be ok where you are but people trying to do the same in a dryer land can up badly
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video. Dirty between the logs is a good idea, I must try when I next get the chance! I lit this fire on top of a bed of very wet logs, fire ceased once it got to that point. I can't remember now if I mentioned that fact in the video, however if you look closely at the bottom most layer of the lit fire you should be able to spot that wet layer. Your correct in your point about what others may end up doing in dry forest, other than giving warnings in every video I light a fire in, I'm not sure there is much I can do on that front. Thanks for the support and thanks for watching my friend 🌲😊🌲
Yes, it is! I was actually up there today getting another section of wall done. I'll be happy when I get it completed. Slow progress, but progressing nonetheless! Glad you enjoyed the video my friend, hope you're keeping well. Thanks for your comment, and thanks for watching ☺️
That's one that I like too, but yeah long time to get it started with all the wood chop. However, if one looks at it differently.... if you're going to be burning through that much wood anywway using other layouts, you'll eventually cut the same amount of wood at the end. You're just all doing it first in this case, then you're free for other stuff.
Exactly correct! The trick is having the patience to do all the cutting etc before starting other things. Something I don't always posses 😅 Thanks for watching my friend 🌲🔥😊🌲
Thanks so much for the positive comment 😊 Glad to hear you liked the video. The only issue with splitting the logs would be that the fire would burn even hotter I think. Would definitely stop them rolling off though! I might try on the next one I do. Thanks so much for watching my friend 🌲☺️🌲
@@MulhavenBushcraft I like your videos and my concern is that if you set it and go to sleep a log may roll off and be a hazard to the asleep people so the wood doesn't need splitting in half just a bit on the edge so it doesn't roll off and cause harm
i saw another fire exactly like this one, except the guy stuffed dirt in between the pieces (not the botom level though, and it supposedly burned for 45 hours!

Came to say the same thing. Also makes it so the logs don’t roll.
I was about to write this 😂.
Same

The perfect fire for such an activity!
Sounds like fun times I gotta say.
Thanks for the comment, and thanks for watching 🌲😊🌲
This is a beautiful and calming video. I appreciate your explanations. they were easy to understand. thank for your good work.

Maybe use hard woods for the bottom layers and soft woods for the top? Would that make it last longer?
It certainly would yes, a good idea! Thanks for the comment 😊

Can’t wait to try out this style!
good info. thanks

That must be a typo… you meant 4-5 hours… 🤔😆. I imagine the cost of corded wood might drop like a rock with that sort of efficiency… 😁
@@dobrofool
Not a typo.
I've heard the same thing but I haven't done it.
Cool fire dude!
Thanks 🔥 glad you liked it 🌲🙂🌲 Thanks for the support.

Sounds good 👍, thanks for watching Ryan.

thank you bushcraft van gogh
😊 most welcome 😁
Very lovely and realistic 🇧🇪
sprinkle some dirt between the logs also slows the burn
Good day! Great information concerning this fire type. Is that the round house build in the background?
Yes, it is! I was actually up there today getting another section of wall done. I'll be happy when I get it completed.
Slow progress, but progressing nonetheless!

Fine!
Thank you! Glad you liked 🌲💚🌲
Thank you
Isn't that like a pyre?
I think you would be better splitting them all so they don't roll off - but all in all great vid
Thanks so much for the positive comment 😊 Glad to hear you liked the video.

Would definitely stop them rolling off though! I might try on the next one I do.

You need a fire to burn all night to warm you when you sleep so put dirt between the logs to slow the fire down so it lasts even longer
Batton a flat down face to stop rolling for safety
Good point @@thesheepstationcook8266

It's good if you wanna cook a "Caveman Steak".
Definitely provide enough heat for that for sure.
Thanks for the comment 🌲☺️🌲
2 - 3 hours burn time? more like 20 hours man
My DNA comes from NI and I can do the accent
Name it ! It’s a Dakota fire
Not engineer s...
2 hours and he’s got half the forest in his pile 😂 ok then
It's one tree.
