good job; found that grey and darker old man's beard like you got burns well but the greener ones do not. I like to put a base layer down on the bottom like a piece of dry bark to protect those bottom limbs from the wet or snow.
Felt fantastic! Thing I like best about the upside down fire is I don't have to feed it. I build it to last a certain amount of time, then do other stuff.
Nice demonstration and I appreciate the education as well. Lately I’ve been spending quite a bit of time learning that I didn’t know how to start a fire efficiently. Therefore, I’ve spent more time researching different methods to improve my knowledge and skills. I’m going to try a couple of things: The elevator fire lay by Gray Bearded Green Beret; The Nessmuk long burning fire (also a top down log cabin style with a stack of long burning logs on a gravity feed and then your smaller top down fire. My personal goals are for this generic lay to be smoke free, long burning and low maintenance (other than the immediate setup) for a long burn. For a small emergency fire - this one I think wins when you have an accelerant. It seemed to be relatively easy to get it going and sustained long enough for you to warm up the hands in a dire situation. I think the base of your fire coupled with a elevator fire lay might just become my “go to” generic fire lay. That would allow me to ignite a tinder bundle by ember. The thing I really liked about the way you sourced your medium, small and fine materials with very little processing which saves time and gets your fingers warmer - quicker in a dire situation. If you had processed your finer stuff just a little more; you might have gotten that fire started with fewer strikes of the ferro rod resource - big picture - it worked and worked well. So much that it is going into my “fire lay toolbox.” Great work my friend. I’ve followed, liked and saved this great video. Thanks for putting it out there and all the work you did to make that happen.
Thank you! Your comment is greatly appreciated. I use the upside down fire a lot in winter. You can easily make it big to burn for several hours, or small for a short duration.
Awesome upside-down fire. Thanks for sharing Dan. Can't wait for more videos.
Nice demonstration and explanation Dan! Thanks for sharing and glad to see you back at it.
Thanks Dan. I've used an upside down fire occasionally, but in my small gasifier twig stoves, I use them all the time.
Very nice Dan. Thanks again !
Good to hear your out there doing it. Always enjoy your time on here. Keep’m coming

Back where you belong. Great video on my favorite fire lay.

You should consider going on the "Alone" tv show. I bet you'd do good. 👍
Thank you! Perhaps someday.
Very nice my friend 🤠
Feels so good to have time again to just enjoy!
