If you're uncomfortable cutting down trees for the fire hole, look for a patch where many saplings are growing in a clump. You will be doing the forest a favour by thinning them out a bit. If you aim for ash, hazel or willow, they will coppice afterwards and come back stronger than ever. Cutting with a clean conscience 👍 I carry a small mattock head in my toolbar and add a sharp to it while in the bush. A 5 minute job, 750g extra weight but you can tear a hole into even hard ground. Bonus points if you find one with an eye that takes a tomahawk handle - carry two heads and one shaft for easy carrying
I want to go to school for mycology and botany because of you. I’m Dakota and I’ve heard of contraceptive plants. The medicine aspect and foraging is awesome dude
How about a Q&A? I'm pretty sure it would make a good video, especially in front of a fire with your humour. So, my question is: What was your original plan when setting up your channel, What do you think is your main goal currently, and what do you plan to do in the future? I would like you to cover stuff like: Is this just a hobby or do you plan to take it a step further?
I have grill pieces packed up for this reason! Small grill pieces that can be placed on rocks, above fire holes, etc so that it will not catch fire during cooking process. But good point about using freshly cut live branches!!
Best vid eva! I love your vids so much. You teach me so much about the different species of fungi, now i can literally start munching the forest down XD and you are like one of the coolest survival guys
Hey Alfie my m8, could you maybe make another bug out bag video? Like an updated one? I'm sure your opinion have changed quite a bit since the last time around. Please do if you think there'd be a lot of interest in such a video. Keep em coming, man! Love the channel! ;)
hey Man! from Canada! your vids kick ass. your info is on point and i love your attitude. took the wife out and killed a dakota pit for some pork chops! good times lol the shallow pit was super sweet and effective. keep on man ! CHEERS
Hello Alfie have you seen the little under a pound Wood Burning Stoves. No gas needed. Although if you want to use alcohol you can. I know you like building fires and cooking over them. I'll tell you it Pax Good. It works good and its around a pound what do You Think. (And cook something on it everyone else boils water to demonstrate it.) Master of the Woods
Alfie I have some questions on knife sharpening. In your survival kit video you showed your Smiths Pocket sharpener and said it was good for in-field sharpening. So what do you use for your primary or main sharpener or is the smiths sharpener your main one? My knives are always getting blunt and "das bad times".
Well if i ever get a camera i should make a video how to sharpen. It's as simple as find the angle. And take steel off blade well i should get if i ever made a video on the subject i would point out which waterstones can't be stored in water other wise the bonds would break apart great stones though for sharpening.
Alfie. You are the best survivlist I know and I been having trouble starting fires with the charcoal fungus and the horseshoe fungi cand u help.you da best.
Hey alfie, Dakota fires are illegal down here in the south east, recommend any other stealth fires, Swedish log fire or... appreciate it brah, survival techniques 3?
Or get an old baking tray and put it on top of fire or on a normal fire just get bricks or stones and lay them on both sides of fire the lay tray on top
I'm going on a survival trip to Belize in a reserved rainforest no hiking trails or tourists areas just of the coast near a fresh water source the plants there most are edible medicinal and have water in them days hike from neuland Belize south you should try for yourself super awesome an no snow or cold
Alfie I was wondering, where did you get all of your knowledge of the outdoors such as the techniques you use and your knowledge about trees and fungus
Your vids are the best bro. I just start getting my gear for the collapse here in Murica lol You should do a update vid on your Bug out bag if you have any new additions
Rebel Wilder Official copper ones will break over time, as by bending em constantly the metal begins to harden and become brittle. I'm pretty sure that aluminium would become crap over time, so it would need replacing more often. Brass would last some time before it needs to be replaced.

you could bring a grilling rack
thin, relatively space saving, durable.
foldable grilling rack- easy life!
Or build a tripod over the pit and hang your pot over it.
the one i done was made with my ka-bar usmc knife :)
fire holes rule - nice job on the raised mess tin system
always a pleasure alfie
I tried doing it with green but my Pot Noodle still melted

Always usefull stuff to learn on this channel, love it :D
Great teaching video and excellent job addressing the questions.
you can make a sling type system to hover you canteen over the fire by using some 550 para cord.
Alfie would you make a video showing all your knives prices and the different things you use them for.all the best

Hazel regrows quickly and can produce thicc enough branches.
Very nice dope video! Anyways, I was very intrigued with that what looks like a foldable shovel. Mind providing the name?
I love ur attitude and accent
you can also pour water on the branches
loving the birds singing at the background
Good stuff! You're hilarious, mate!
Thanks mate!
Alfie! What shovel is that. I am interested in getting one and it looks like a good one.
You got me into survival thanks a lot
Awesome!!
Great video dude. great attitude and advice. keep em comin!
As usual, good stuff here. Even if there were no frolicking woods bitches. :)
Frolicking woodlands bitches!!
Pruning up the place is fire prevention .fuel reductio and separating the crowns from the under story .
Hey Alfie,
I saw TH-cam video with a log cabin that has a "deliberately" charged RoofTop ....sweet 👀👁️👀
Alfie I have some questions on knife sharpening. In your survival kit video you showed your Smiths Pocket sharpener and said it was good for in-field sharpening. So what do you use for your primary or main sharpener or is the smiths sharpener your main one? My knives are always getting blunt and "das bad times".
Great thanks
AlfieAesthetics Can you make a video on that showing us how to do so?
Well if i ever get a camera i should make a video how to sharpen. It's as simple as find the angle. And take steel off blade well i should get if i ever made a video on the subject i would point out which waterstones can't be stored in water other wise the bonds would break apart great stones though for sharpening.
use a cooking grate over the pit and you don't have to cut limbs off any more
Alfie. You are the best survivlist I know and I been having trouble starting fires with the charcoal fungus and the horseshoe fungi cand u help.you da best.
*horseshoe fungi can u help.*
The charcoal fungi and the horseshoe fungi wont light
Thanks this will help a lot
I just get a cookie cooling tray from dollar store and carry it my day bag. Keep half hole exposed so you can feed fire still
Hey alfie, Dakota fires are illegal down here in the south east, recommend any other stealth fires, Swedish log fire or... appreciate it brah, survival techniques 3?
What about burning the wood down and put your pot right into the embers? Worked for me good.
AlifeAesthetics what food do you usually take
Or get an old baking tray and put it on top of fire or on a normal fire just get bricks or stones and lay them on both sides of fire the lay tray on top
I'm going on a survival trip to Belize in a reserved rainforest no hiking trails or tourists areas just of the coast near a fresh water source the plants there most are edible medicinal and have water in them days hike from neuland Belize south you should try for yourself super awesome an no snow or cold
where does this guy camp and hike its so cool
what cooking material is to be used ie steel or which kind of steel or any other material?what are advantages of Dakota fire hole
She could also carry a small to medium sized grill and just make the fire hole a bit smaller than the grill.
LOL anyone else watching these videos for the remote possibility of becoming homeless and thus needing to know sheet?
Alfie I was wondering, where did you get all of your knowledge of the outdoors such as the techniques you use and your knowledge about trees and fungus
TH-cam.
alfie.... where are you now?
If you don't wanna cut branches off a tree I like to soak thicker sticks I find on the ground in the near by creek
The first time I made one of these I had to make the vent bye just scratching because it was on clay
Make more videos please I love them.
I feel like it would be easier to dig a small ditch with a stick and then making a sort of an overhang in the middle with small sticks and dirt.
How can you find water sources in the middle of the forest ? ( if there's no rivers)
Use a metal grill instead of wood...can get them at lots of places...such as Wilko's
Alfie what camera are you using for your videos?
Where do you get those gloves?
Could you use a flat stone as a stove for a Dakota firehole?
is that type of single pot available on amazon?
tripods work wonders for hanging pots above any type and size of fire
Thanks mate
Although I will most likely regret not buying that quality single pot I just ordered the rothco canteen plus cooking pot instead
Nice looking bk7 u have there
what material of cooking utensil can be used?
keep it up mate.
You so colorfully express your ideas, that you should be a poet. Or design greeting cards.
alfie can u use tin foil for the little stove that show in your
video or do you have wire mesh
yes
That longer canteen u had hanging with that wire, did u drill holes in it at the threads for that?
Cool, thank for the reply.
Great videos keep on that good work! :D
The best learning technique is failure
Your vids are the best bro. I just start getting my gear for the collapse here in Murica lol You should do a update vid on your Bug out bag if you have any new additions
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
What type of trenching shovel do you use? I'm looking for one and I don't know which ones are any good
"bit of a school boy error to make"
hahahaha
Where did u get your canteen cos I want a cheap one but can't find one pls help
please tell us what bottle do you have? Thx
Schweeet ~Peace~
There are several good small bushcraft/hiking grills on the market.....
whats the pot?
I use rocks around my dakota pit.
How to protect fire in rain
I love ur videos but I think other subs can agree after 6 navigation videos it's time for camp aeths or fire or kit videos
+AlfieAesthetics Of course you care about them. If they get lost and can't charge they're mobile device, the can't watch your videos! Am I right? HaHa
Dano DeMano just shut up please
+max Raine HaHa! Did I hit a little too close to home for you sonny boy? LMAO
LMAO- u just brought me back to 2008
Seems like a small grill over the hole would be good....
Come back alfie!!! Where you gone???

Check the channel, he did a whole video on his gloves and some time ago made a BOB-video.
AlfieAesthetics ok thank you and could you mybe sub to me that would be great thx
nice one alfie atb FP
Alfie, Why Brass wire...? Why not aluminum or copper wire? is there a reason or are they all fine to use?
Rebel Wilder Official copper ones will break over time, as by bending em constantly the metal begins to harden and become brittle. I'm pretty sure that aluminium would become crap over time, so it would need replacing more often. Brass would last some time before it needs to be replaced.
Thanks Alfie :) I appreciate you’re response, your videos, and your super sexy voice! 😏 Lol!
a brit measuring time in time taken to make tea 😂 😂
You are the F'ing, Alfie!
That's the "F'ing man, Alfie!"
What about underground roots concern
Can you just get the sticks wet and then use it in the fire??
what is your shovel
I've never heard of a fick branch. Where do I find those?
+M Hayes I think he's having a giraffe mate
PEACE!!!!
Nice
How do u find materials like flint clay ect
