Your split log stove is a great idea. It works better than I thought it would. Watching you cook brought back a camping memory. Once I was cooking for several people and had a LARGE frying pan. As usual, I cooked the bacon first and beat about 6 eggs to scramble. The pan was still on the fire heating up the bacon grease. I poured the eggs into the grease and POOF! They cooked in an instant! I called them flash eggs and everyone ate them. No burnt edges or uncooked center. I have never been able to reproduce that event. God bless!
Love the video and will definitely give it a try. The only thing I’ll do differently, is cut the base from a larger diameter tree so the logs have more room to move around. Thank you!
Wow! I was a bit skeptical when I started watching, worried that it would be too easy for the log to fall over. I am impressed, it seems to work very well! Thanks for sharing.
The logs are rather sturdy when just split in half. It's when you quarter them to try and replicate a swedish torch that they tip over quite easily. Thanks for watching! Happy trails.
Years ago, I would have wondered why someone would bother going out into the woods to make breakfast. Now, I can't go anywhere without assessing an area for bushcraft camp worthiness. 🙂 My wife even got me fatwood as a Christmas gift last year. I like this split log idea. Will definitely use it. Thank you!
This is a great idea for a makeshift stove when no other tools or accessories are available in the field. Brilliant idea, both inventive and creative! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars
That was a great one. Looking forward to trying this on my next camping trip. I've been doing a lot of quick car camping trips his summer (due to how busy I am with work) - but I've been doing all my cooking over a fire. This will be a fun project.
I love these 'how to' type vids, thanks for another great idea! I made a single log stove recently out of a birch log, using a 2in hand drill to make a central hole and an airflow hole half way down. worked really well for boiling water.
I absolutely love how you make perfect shots on the nature scenes. Along with the narration. I actually wanna go outside and make something like this. But.. i don't have wood tho.. :(
Perfect, loved the vid. I appreciate everything about this video, especially the explanation of heat control and distribution. Thanks for the base tip also, i would never thought of it. Exactly these smaller tips make the difference.
THank you for sharing your discovery on the split log fire. I thought the Swedish logs were the best way to conserve the energy and focus the heat but you showed a better way to control the heat.
Have you ever considered taking a very interested, quick learning, and outdoor loving subscriber with you? Hands on teaching and a different atmosphere for you, as you're usually alone? I'm sure I speak for many when I say that, a weekend trip with you would be a once in a lifetime. The skills and mentality you have to offer are amazing and I would love to have an experience like this. Especially so I can pass what I learn onto my 3 boys. Unfortunately, I'm not interested in a paid "experience" as it is not personal or authentic at all. That's why being able to go on an adventure with someone like you would be a once in a lifetime! If you ever think this is something you want to do, I'm volunteering to be first on the list! Great videos mate!
David West recommended your channel while demonstrating the split log fire. You offer great information that will be helpful on the other side of the pond here in SE Asia. We watched this video from our homebase and "secret retirement location" in Bulacan Province, on Luzon Island in the Republic of the Philippine Islands. Now, time to hit that subscribe button.
Would like to thank you for taking the time to make these videos I absolutely enjoy them. After watching the few I've seen I became a subscriber. I'm almost 70 and you take me back to my youth. I grew up on the side of a mountain and the forest was my back yard. I was also in the boy scouts we did overnight weekend winter camping. Along with hiking during the warmer temps, and did overnight camping on those weekends. Keep up the great things your doing with these videos. Your teaching all of us valuable skills one never knows they made need to use some day. God bless you young man and be safe out there in the wilds of western Canada.

So happy to see you sharing again. Your content really gives me ideas to do with the kids as a challenge and for something different than the norm thank you
amazing way to conserve fuel. i feel like you could burn that 2 or maybe even 3 times for small meals and not have to rock through a ton of wood. honestly kind of a great idea for a small campfire for one or two people as well, assuming it's not real cold out. great idea!
There are so many variations of the “Swedish Torch”/ stove that, it’s sorta tiring to watch the videos. This seems to be a huge simplification and improvement on the basic concept of a vertical standing log fire. I can’t wait to try this. 👍✌️
Great fire layout!! I do something similar. A sort of modified Swedish torch where one side is laying flat similar to my favorite. The « armchair » layout. Thanks again! Lots of skills on your channel and so relaxing as well. Cheers!👍
Great video and awesome cooking/heating approach. Although you checked for any residual heat/embers with your hands and fingers, I would still douse the wood with water. Retired RPF from central BC
watched and loved this channel for quite a long time, and love watching it especially since i live in the middle of a desert lol love the forest and the rivers and all that captured in your videos
Great to see your video 😃, great info on the split log fire, really like the fact that you can control it and how fast it goes out, keep up the great work and totally looking forward to your next video 😁🤙🤙🤙
the forest is still pretty good...suitable for camping....with a small stream around it... Making a very smart fireplace log for camping needs in the middle of the forest...
That is brilliant, even easier than making a swedish fire torch and with more burn control
I didn’t think that moving the logs apart would make much of a difference, but it clearly does. Such a cool idea, thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Hahaha it’s called adding a different fuel source and editing
@@mikec.8556 well duh but its also not a bad way to cook

Outstanding design and implementation. I love the heat control and fuel conservation of this method.
I will definitely be trying this my next time to the woods. Super idea!! Well done thanks
Let me know how it works for you!
I envy those who can spend this much time in the woods. I like the woods.
I have a wood
That was a great method. Never seen it done like that, very clever. Well done.
Love the video and will definitely give it a try. The only thing I’ll do differently, is cut the base from a larger diameter tree so the logs have more room to move around. Thank you!
Have fun! Thank you for watching.
I've known your channel for over a year. Came from the log home in the Canadian wilderness videos. Glad you're still making content!
This is the best split log stove I've ever seen!!!

You CAN teach an old dog new tricks! Great video! I'm looking forward to trying this & seeing more of your videos.
This is the first time that I've seen like this. What I've always seen a lot are the Swedish Torch and rocket stove. Thanks Ryley for this one.
Pretty good idea, worked really well on that breakfast. Thanks for sharing it with us. Stay safe. 🙏
A new take on the Swedish torch. Great idea! It provides control and fuel conservation that the Swedish torch doesn't allow.
As a fellow Canadian myself I can admit that this is a certified Canadian classic keep up the good work
Greetings form Naples, Florida. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Have a wonderful week. 👍
That was very therapeutic to watch. I look forward to giving that a try myself. All the best.

I was thinking the same thing. Pretty much a wooden rocket stove.
I absolutely love how you make perfect shots on the nature scenes. Along with the narration. I actually wanna go outside and make something like this. But.. i don't have wood tho.. :(
That was a new, to me, take on the Swedish log. Much better with control of cooking. Brilliant.
Always great to watch your adventures instead of browsing Netflix for an hour! Entertaining and insightful as usual!
Perfect, loved the vid. I appreciate everything about this video, especially the explanation of heat control and distribution. Thanks for the base tip also, i would never thought of it. Exactly these smaller tips make the difference.
this is science, mate. youve done the research for us. well done!
Great video!
Not breaking the egg yolks when you flipped them with a wooden spatula impressed me the most!
Nice calm and relaxing especially with that cool technique with the log
Another great video. Thanks for sharing. I will definitely try this out.
It's good to see you getting out more these days brother.
2:18 - "One split is all we need" Sounds like a great bushcraft kumbaya song😜
Great vid thanks! 😃
😂😂
This is genius. Its so simple and effective, I slap my forehead and go why didnt I think of this?
Thanks so much for sharing! game changer for me!!
this is cool as hell!
thank you very much!
I learn something new! Thank-You!
THank you for sharing your discovery on the split log fire. I thought the Swedish logs were the best way to conserve the energy and focus the heat but you showed a better way to control the heat.
I like video's like this where you actually learn something. This will try it this autumn is the Swiss mountains. Thank you for sharing!

Clearly the best method.
thank you for sharing
Good video. Learned something new. Take care!
thank you my friend look forward to it
Love the log stove.
Thanks for being easy to follow.
Cheers from the South Carolina Lowcountry
Brilliant! Low to zero impact on nature. Absolutely love it! Thank you so much! Cheers...
Whatever works, man.... gettin' it done.👍
Greasy bacon and eggs. Not good for the heart, but damn good for the soul and belly. Brings back many camping memories from the 60’s. 🔥
Great my friend. Nice to see you again teaching your techniques. Greetings
I want to say your video was vary neat, keep them coming!
Very cool setup! Thanks for sharing and greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪
So happy to see you sharing again. Your content really gives me ideas to do with the kids as a challenge and for something different than the norm thank you
I've never seen this before, but it's really cool and can definitely see the benefits
I like your idea very much! Thank you!
Great video, I'd never seen a log fire like this one. You usually only see the Swedish Torch fires.
You're a great teacher, thank you for these posts!
I can see where this could be beneficial in some situations, given that you have the right materials and tools to create it.
One of the better fire techniques that I've seen in a long time. Great video.
Thanks for sharing, excited to try this method.
Super cool, thanks for making the video
God bless you
God bless you too!

Cool ideas l would have never thought of.
Kinda like a log rocket stove. Really nice!
WoW, very interesting. I now have to try it.
What a nice idea! On thish way you can adjust the fire! I'll try next time.
Thanks!!!

I really enjoyed this video.

Another great video! You’ve got me back in to thinking about getting back out in the country. I’ve been in the city waaay too long!
Great fire layout!! I do something similar. A sort of modified Swedish torch where one side is laying flat similar to my favorite. The « armchair » layout. Thanks again! Lots of skills on your channel and so relaxing as well.

I stumbled upon this video by chance and loved it, I will definitely try this when there's an opportunity. Thank you!
Thanks for teaching!
Learnt something new! Thanks.

Always best to soak fire remains before leaving. 👍 Great advice my friend. Thank you for watching!!
watched and loved this channel for quite a long time, and love watching it especially since i live in the middle of a desert lol love the forest and the rivers and all that captured in your videos
Terrific idea, glad to see you back.
