If you don't happen to have twine or metal wire binding, just dig a small hole wide enough to hold your log quarters loosely. Stick the log into the hole, and proceed.
A lot of gear you can strip it off or find an old rotten barbed wire fence but I don’t like this because you could make a log cabin style cooking fire that doesn’t take a hatchet and a hand saw like the Swedish torch
Bollocks! Most Swedes have never seen this or are clever enough to come up with it. Maybe if you are an outdoorsman out in Norrland you have seen this, but this is yet another case of the world flattering Swedes for being so brilliant at everything. If you use this, good for you, but you are the exception.
In Sweden we actually call this a Finnish Torch, and we also sometimes make them with a slightly different method where you don't split the log all the way down! :)
YES! In Finnish it’s called jätkänkynttilä, ”loggers candle”. As a Finn it bothers me immensely for Nordic things to be called swedish in America! Not to mention calling Nordic things Scandinavian… And it’s usually not spil all the way, you’re right.
@@AammaKBecause all Scandinavian countries are seen as the same. So just take the compliment of having something named after you. Also lots of debate about Finland being either a Nordic country or a Scandinavian country so saying “Swedish” is easier
@@adamallen7070 It would bother you too if people considered all of your neighbors the same. In which world is ignoracy justifiable? We all have individual and unique national identities, and saying that the kind of sht makes you look real bad. Not a single Finn will take bride in anything nominally swedish that isn't shared by all nordics. That's not how it workd ffs
When carving out the middle piece rather than taking it right off if you scrape your axe down to make the wood curl to the bottom but still just leaving it attached to the log, the shavings will act as kindling directly connected to the log helping the fire to get going better
Another way is to not split the log all the way through, but use another smaller log to hammer your hatchet a little past halfway through...pull it apart, and i like to use small stones to wedge the sides open...then you dont need anything on hand to hold it together.
If you prepare them in advance, you can make two plunge cuts with a chainsaw through the pith, shaped like an X, and cut a larger X on the top and bottom. This keeps the log in one piece even after a relative long burn time, and it burns less violent, which equals longer burn time.
Nice video. What most people don't know but all Native Americans do (I'm Cherokee) is that there always is dry wood in the forest, you just have to know where to look for it. Where is it located, how can it be found? Nothing is simpler: look around and above you. Attached to trees, standing or fallen and NEVER having TOUCHED the GROUND, dead branches and twigs are ideal and will ALWAYS BURN no matter what the circumstances, even under a pouring rain. ✌️
A Swedish torch (also Swedish candle, Finn candle, Finnish torch, Finnish candle, Swedish fire, German: Schwedenfeuer) is a source of heat and light from a vertically set tree trunk, incised and burning in the middle. It was invented by Finns and it became known in Europe during the 1600s and is now used by forest workers, and for leisure activities (especially in southern Germany). Due to its flat surface and good embers, it can also be used for cooking. Compared to a campfire, it is more compact, and therefore several small heat sources can be distributed over an area. Oral tradition attributes the development of the torch to the Swedish military during the Thirty Years' War; using a saw or hacksaw or an axe, the Swedes are said to have made burning and glowing logs to warm their soldiers. This method of providing heat meant that their troops did not have to carry their own firewood with them but were able to get supplies on site, as the freshly cut, green wood can burn due to the chimney effect.
@@Jesuslovesyou8525My dictionary gives several meanings to ”jätkä”: from the neutral dude, to archaic ”lumberjack, and ”rogue, knave, scoundrel etcetera.
Finland was a part of Sweden for about 600 years until 1809 so if someone in the part of land that is now Finland invented it in the 1600´s then it could logically be defined as being a Swedish invention.
I say anybody ever told you that's her pretty intelligent you got a lot of knowledge on how to survive and it's good that you're showing us how to do things be proud of your work❤❤❤
I use this method to light a fire in an open fire in my house. The only difference is I only use three sections of the log and rest it against the back of the fireplace. It draws the air up through the hole and gets the logs really hot and burning well. Once they are going well lay them down and the fire is well set. Load on more fuel as necessary.
In the wilderness you would actually try to not fully split the wood and kindle a fire in the middle. Meaning you cut into it from two sides and create the gap that way. That’s how we used to do it where I grew up for festivals. You do not need wire and it works for small wood pieces that way too, so you also don’t need a saw.
You don't even need a clasp, you can just twist the wire, you can pick up small rolls from hardware/diy/garden shops, very handy stuff if you are out camping!
There are saws that you can bring with you instead then. They're significantly more lighter and if you buy one for hiking and whatnot, then it will be able to fold. That way it wont take up too much space. Then find yourself dead tree and/or tree that has fallen and go ham with the saw. You can use a knife and a stick to split the tree chunk into logs, just like an axe.
The way I was taught this by my friend’s grandfather was to only cut about a half way day in the beginning, as opposed to all the way down. It burns slow, and protects the grass underneath the log from fire damage.
@@angrydragonslayer pretty sure my friend’s grandfather learned it from you guys. He was Russian. He said learned it when he was in the military from his Swedish counterparts
@@thumbwiz I have the log in the shed with the hole already drilled. I just bring the log and a ryobi saw-z-all. Those blades take to sandy wood better than any chain. Easy/cheap to replace too.
First of all, why are you even going in the wilderness without supplies? Your type of comments makes me laugh because it just makes me lose faith in the newer generation. You guys seriously need to touch grass.
This is cool! I liked the modification of putting it into the ground of you don't have a wire. Just make an air hole. My fav is still the two holes in the ground fire pit.
Just so people know if you need a very strong natural rope. Grape vine is extremely tough and hard as hell to break. When i was growing up we would swing over mountain sides on grape vines. Never knowing if they were going to snap off but they never did.

Then, make a trip back to town to buy a frying pan and And some cooking oil because we forget those 😂
@@EmilePesky-n1v shoot you'll have to go back into town cos you forgot the wire to tie up the log. Might be a good idea to bring some pliers while your at it.

I have used this method many times and it is a excellent and efficient way to prepare a meal and a nice hot drink to enjoy on a cold winter evening out in the forest with nothing but you and nature, very relaxing and mind cleansing
This is literally the best way to keep warm in an emergency situation it will keep your shelter warm all night if you build it right and it's a good cooking source aswell I'm a survivalist and I love this method
I live along the Oregon coast, but back in the hills were there is a lot of red alder and Douglas fir. I’d love it if you demonstrated how the pinkish core of Douglas fir can be burned immediately after felling. You just have to knock off that white wet stuff along with the bark in order to do it. The larger the rounds, the more burnable would.
saw someone do this with a metal pipe and a more tightly bound log to funnel warm air from outside in the log to inside his tent. great thing to remember
I honestly think that either damp wood or green wood is best because it doesn't burn as fast, and you won't have to worry as much about your food falling over because of the length of time it takes for the damp or green wood to burn than the regular dry wood.
If you don't happen to have twine or metal wire binding, just dig a small hole wide enough to hold your log quarters loosely.
Stick the log into the hole, and proceed.
I admit, I was wondering how to do it if I wasn't so close to home I could go back and get some fence wire.
