After i built the frame out of steel and got the angles right .it works i built mine for my deer camp . i also made it so i can put a grill right over it and a hook for hanging water to boil . with my set up i get about 20 hours depending on wind .awsome idea .take it make it your own .
I was about to say that this would work best to just keep warm in an enclosed area or to cook with you won't get much warms in the wild in a wide open area
The internet is an amazing thing. Who knows if someone has had an idea like this in the past? The certainly wouldn't have been able to share it with 9 million people. Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
I believe it may be some sort of hybrid self feeding, but also bolt action, belt fed ammunition with simple patience, this prototype is going to be the next big thing. Please use constant supervision And also, wooden sticks w/marshmellso on deck.
You can likely improve this. Try taking out one side. In it's place, place large heavy rocks that will keep the logs from rolling towards you. Make sure those rocks are not rocks found near water, as they may explode when the heat expands the moisture in them. That side you took out, is where your body will be perpendicular to the fire. The loader side will act as a wind protector and reflector. Respect to the original developer.
+duxdawg Ya was going to say, it's doubtful we today could come up with anything to do with campfire technology that our stone age ancestors didn't already figure out ages ago.
@Ken Penalosa yeah. The heat from the fire also charges battery for light and phones. Its been around for a long time already that it has a smaller version. I think it's called Biolite.
Biolite isn't self feeding, it only captures energy from the heat to charge it's internal battery to blow a fan and make the flames stronger and charge a phone for example. But you still have to feed it wood to keep it going.
Also, As mentioned before, cooking food buried in coals while your away. Loading up the magazine the next morning keeping the fire alive would keep animals out of your camp. It frees up a person left in camp as fire tender. Keeping water pot hot for drinking, cooking or washing without having to tend it. Drying out wood staves for tools, spears, bows and arrows. The list grows..
@Mropticalgreen if you look closely in the video, the feet of the stands are buried in dirt, so they're protected from the heat. You should be able to use these stands for multiple runs
I find it funny that you think that was the hard part.. 😂 I'm thinking dam bro you really cut down a tree, made logs, found the perfect sticks to hold em up, measured that shit exactly on both sides, set it up, lit it just perfectly, and then stayed up all night... Dam bro TH-cam better get it's shit together and pay you.. they need to be making movies and soap operas about you bro... FR they need to make paintings and write books about you.. I wouldnt wanna meet you in a dark alley you too extra for me bro, you'd probably kidnap me and go to the deserts in the middle East and make a fire from the bare essentials like macgeyver or something and then burn me to death but manage to keep the ashes but dump them back in the alley and have the cops like wtf wtf? Aliens? Mafia? Wtfs goin on hear!? Ashes in the middle a da street wassamaddawitu!.... Thanks I'll be here all week...
Wow, that is awesome! I have done my fair share of wilderness camping but I have never seen anything like that before...would have loved to have had that when camping in the snow.
I hope this isn't a no-no as I'm just trying to point DrValerie where good info can be found on cold weather camping. I have no financial interest in any youtube video. Check out Far North Bushcraft & Survival. He does his "long fire" a little different but end result is the same. He lives full time in the wilderness of Alaska and has several videos of keeping warm in a cold climate. ~Sherrie in South Carolina
Well, it appears you have some pro and con comments with sarcasm and humor mixed in. From a veteran hunter and camper, who has spent weeks at a time in the deep woods, this is an awesome idea. This is especially workable for staying in a lean-to. I've camped in my own designed lean-to for a month at a time and liked the front flap open as much as possible. I could have started the fire in the evening and it would have lasted all night keeping me warm. Instead, I had to keep the fire going all night. I will definitely be trying this. And for all of you who can't figure out the design, well, you might reconsider if you need to be in the woods or just keep making fires traditionally.
If you think about it a timelapse wouldn't work. The falling of the woods would be way to fast to capture and the flickering of the fire would literally burn your eyes :)
well if you made a forge out of dirt, mud, and logs you might be able to get enough air flow in to melt some steel. Steel has a melting point of 2500 degrees F, whereas cast iron is about 2200 degrees F. I know a primitive forge can melt cast iron, but maybe that extra 300 degrees is the barrier.
and melting is not really the point, it's the point of breaking that interests us mostly, it's far from the melting point as steel become soft quite fast
Make a set of foldable A frames with a cross beam over the middle. I was thinking a metal A frame but smaller and foldable would be nice for camping (only needing an 8 hour fire)
I think it’s a great idea. If you’re in a cold place and have the logs, it’s a great thing. Those that mock or nothing themselves. It’s great for survival and that’s what it’s all about. Good video. Some thing I learned thanks.👍
ProperGanderSaul wow you just name a normal phenomenom, wood come from trees, but he stated thats its a lot for 1 person, considering that we are a lot of human on this planet, just take what you need, not less, not more..
NIce idea! only thing I would say is that, it takes so long to get some real heat, this is because you are using whole logs. They never burn that great. Maybe you can spit these logs with the same method to get more heat FASTER. most campfires and the folk around, demand a BIG heat real quickly. Maybe I'm wrong here?, but I DO love your gravity fed log fire idea, AWESOME!.
Close to 90 degrees that day and didn't drop too much over the course of the night... and that was in November. Might consider that your needs are not always that of the rest of us>?
Wow dude, he watched your video, left a comment with original thought presented as a simple idea ("Maybe I'm wrong here"), and even said your video/idea was awesome, and you responded with dismissive sarcasm. Really?
Seriously, he takes the time to watch then compliment your video and leaves a personal idea, and you treat him like an idiot? Nice way of showing yourself as a jerk.
I think they might be trolls. It is not sarcastic to point out that fires serve a great many purposes depending on the need. A flame for heat is low on the list out here year round, though we do have a few chilly nights from time to time.
I usually just lock the door to the kids rooms. I mean it only takes slight psychopathy and wanting one strong resilient self feeding child more than 4 needy children. But one of them will eventually figure that out for ya
An almost random TH-cam click. I was quite skeptical about this. To begin with I thought that there was no way that the seemingly meager amount of kindling / thin twigs you used would burn anywhere near hot enough to begin to burn the adjoining logs. Trusting that all was as it was portrayed in the video, I take it back. That was really interesting. When you mentioned the control of air-to-fire, i.e. the earth / clay embankment, I started to realize that you had given this some thought, and that this was not down to chance to the degree that I first thought it would be. Thanks for a very interesting (and worthwhile) random TH-cam click :)
How do you think this fire would work if you put clay/mud on top of the logs? I'm thinking it'll keep the fire on just the two bottom ones and it'll be good in windy locations.
By "on top" I just mean in a way that would prevent the fire from blowing onto the next row of logs. In between the fire and the 2nd row of logs would work best. With the logs rolling down the slope, it would be too difficult to put clay up all along all the rows, but it'd work for the second row of logs. It would have to be just be a thin layer too. The clay would deposit right in the middle of the coals. Maybe you could get really creative and build a housing for the logs that they would fall out of. Or maybe you could build a chimney over the fire. The clay on the logs is just an easier method of keeping the fire from catching the other logs early
I think that would work. You would have an issue with the clay pieces filling up the trench after a time, but that would be an ingenuitive way of heat sheilding the igher rows.
The issue with this is, is that it really doesnt send the heat in a usefull direction. Its basically a parlor trick as it has no real practical purpose.
It was designed for use in sub zero conditions and for use inside a natural shelter. Obviously the scale of one in this video is far too large but a smaller one inside a natural material shelter that you built would trap the heat around you and keep burning all through the night providing just enough warmth to allow you to survive. I'm talking logs of wrist thickness and maybe 10" in length.
I mean, you should be making a fire pit before making a fire. Dugout dirt base, surrounded with dry rocks (river rocks can explode). It may be more work, but it's better than waking up on fire.
Jennifer River rocks have small amounts of water saturated in them, so heating the rock expands the water into steam inside the rock, which then fractures or explodes. Like cooking a potato without poking vent holes. But hey if you don't believe me you're always free to dig rock shrapnel out your face all by yourself! Yay independence :)
Hey Bob: I gotta say that this is ONE EXCELLENT VIDEO & DEMO on how this type of fire 🔥 works‼️ Seriously- GREAT JOB. I've been hunting-fishing-backpacking- for over 50-plus years and have never seen anything like this. You learn something new everyday ... if you really try and/or make it a goal. Would have liked to seen you make the sides and structure, but your commentary & verbal instructions were easy enough to follow. Here's a thought...you have some great big perfect logs to demo this, ... I wonder how it would work on a smaller scale, using wood the typical size wood and logs you'd find in the foods? Also, how long such a smaller scale fire might burn for? I know it wouldn't me be 14+ hours, but even if you could get 6-solid hours of burn time and wake to flames & coals of any kind, that too would be a success. EXCELLENT VIDEO & GREAT INSTRUCTIONS ALONG THE WAY. Bill ~
Too many variables I’m afraid. A breeze would have burned this thing imperfectly and caused failure. Ideal circumstances show it to be possible, practicality keeps it from being viable.
I lived in a lean-to in Northern Michigan for a few weeks in late November,early December about 40 years ago and used a similar method for overnight heat using 16 to 20 in. firewood. I dug a pit so coals and ashes could build up and lined it with rocks. The back of the lean-to blocked the wind and the front faced the open fire and was just tall enough to sit in. Both ends were covered to block wind also and I added some lean-to high smokescreens that extended out beyond the lean-to several feet also. My ramp was only one sided and acted as an automatic feed and heat reflector on the opposite side of the fire. The ramp went to the edge of the pit. I remember sitting on my bed in a T shirt when it was snowing and blowing. I filled the ramp at bed time and around 5 am I would wake up slightly chilled, grab a few sticks of wood at the head of my bed, sit up and reach out and put them on the still hot coals without leaving the sleeping bag and get back in the bag until the fire was crackling good and I could get dressed in comfort. Keep in mind, it was all sand around the pit and several inches of snow on the ground so no fire hazard and I was working as a logger and had plenty of good hardwoods to burn.
A Damn Great Idea! I Love this and can't wait for my next opportunity to see this, and feel it, in action. When confronted in the wild with keeping heat as a priority without having to feed the fire every hour or so, one can get a good sleep while remaining warm and cozy in the area of your bivouac or tented campsite. Thanks for this invaluable demonstration.
I was thinking of it's usefulness in a primitive/survival living arrangement. If you know you're gonna be camping or surviving for more than a week. But still, i kinda wanna make one out of metal and concrete in the back yard :)
Impressed after the muddy deluge and all it still had a nice constant burn, not a smolder, a full fire. Very impressive way to have a self feeding 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
it might burn logs for a long duration but the design and position of the feed logs would block the heat from radiating out preventing it from actually being capable of keeping you warm
It's always good to learn about how to survive in different ways, environments and conditions, I thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with the rest of the class😀. Thanks again Brother!!!
That's a lot of work if it was one person. I would probably use the Siberian log fire or the upside down fire methods. A lot less work if you are alone!!
+Dante, Swagger of the Trolling Abyss hey hey well i read his soak the logs in wood comment and laughed and you know what?? it was a pretty good laugh 😄😄😄

That’s what I’ve always wondered too... like were they always dogshit tired from having to check the goddamn fire every 3 hours? Nobody slept 8 hours until electricity was invented? I call bullshit... they probably figured out something like the example in the video.
If you are staying at a static, even if only a few days, site you have time to construct it this is a very good all night fire. Allows you to sleep the night instead of waking up from shivering and tending the fire. Then fully rested you have the day to hunt, gather and collect another set of logs.

Seriously, he takes the time to watch then compliment your video and leaves a personal idea, and you treat him like an idiot? Nice way of showing yourself as a jerk.
I didn't read any "dismissive sarcasm" in the reply. He's pointing out that not everyone needs BIG heat real quickly. You guys should chill out.
I think they might be trolls. It is not sarcastic to point out that fires serve a great many purposes depending on the need. A flame for heat is low on the list out here year round, though we do have a few chilly nights from time to time.
The algorithm has reunited the lost travellers of the TH-cam realm.
How do I make a self feeding child?
I usually just lock the door to the kids rooms. I mean it only takes slight psychopathy and wanting one strong resilient self feeding child more than 4 needy children. But one of them will eventually figure that out for ya
A bottle of bleach or drain cleaner, a bathroom door with a lock
Teach them how to pickpocket
Cereal on the floor usually does the trick.
I would totally watch the 15+ hour video of this burning to help me sleep soundly!
Imagine placing microphones real close to have a soothing sound to sleep with.
Isaac lol yeah and you’ll be suddenly hearing updates every few hours haha
An almost random TH-cam click.
I was quite skeptical about this.
To begin with I thought that there was no way that the seemingly meager amount of kindling / thin twigs you used would burn anywhere near hot enough to begin to burn the adjoining logs.
Trusting that all was as it was portrayed in the video, I take it back.
That was really interesting.
When you mentioned the control of air-to-fire, i.e. the earth / clay embankment, I started to realize that you had given this some thought, and that this was not down to chance to the degree that I first thought it would be.
Thanks for a very interesting (and worthwhile) random TH-cam click :)
Gad you enjoyed it. Might check out the channel. Always something new.
How do you think this fire would work if you put clay/mud on top of the logs? I'm thinking it'll keep the fire on just the two bottom ones and it'll be good in windy locations.
Clay on top? Clay is a good insulator and would direct heat well. Explain where you would put the clay again. Not quite with you yet.
By "on top" I just mean in a way that would prevent the fire from blowing onto the next row of logs. In between the fire and the 2nd row of logs would work best. With the logs rolling down the slope, it would be too difficult to put clay up all along all the rows, but it'd work for the second row of logs. It would have to be just be a thin layer too. The clay would deposit right in the middle of the coals. Maybe you could get really creative and build a housing for the logs that they would fall out of. Or maybe you could build a chimney over the fire. The clay on the logs is just an easier method of keeping the fire from catching the other logs early
I think that would work. You would have an issue with the clay pieces filling up the trench after a time, but that would be an ingenuitive way of heat sheilding the igher rows.
My logs usually burn after chilli 🌶💩
Oof
You made my day, thanks 🤘😂
I'll my log Cutters on fire
The issue with this is, is that it really doesnt send the heat in a usefull direction. Its basically a parlor trick as it has no real practical purpose.
S'mores, dude, s'mores.
When is the last time you used a campfire for a practical purpose?
It was designed for use in sub zero conditions and for use inside a natural shelter. Obviously the scale of one in this video is far too large but a smaller one inside a natural material shelter that you built would trap the heat around you and keep burning all through the night providing just enough warmth to allow you to survive. I'm talking logs of wrist thickness and maybe 10" in length.
Don't be a douche in the comments man.
Build a wall behind it and then it's fine
Spectacular! What a great video. I appreciate your dedication to knowledge and effort. Very well done, sir.
Let me be the first to say Thank You, the people commenting on here don't know that knowledge is power
Thanks for taking the time to do that. Very interesting.
Don't forget to uncheck the box next to "fire spreads" or this will not work.
I mean, you should be making a fire pit before making a fire. Dugout dirt base, surrounded with dry rocks (river rocks can explode).
It may be more work, but it's better than waking up on fire.
@@TH-cam.Commen-tater "river rocks can explode"
Wtf 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Is that because they're used to being in water?
Jennifer River rocks have small amounts of water saturated in them, so heating the rock expands the water into steam inside the rock, which then fractures or explodes. Like cooking a potato without poking vent holes.
But hey if you don't believe me you're always free to dig rock shrapnel out your face all by yourself! Yay independence :)
Nice job! This is one video that didn't disappoint.
Hey Bob: I gotta say that this is ONE EXCELLENT VIDEO & DEMO on how this type of fire 🔥 works‼️ Seriously- GREAT JOB. I've been hunting-fishing-backpacking- for over 50-plus years and have never seen anything like this. You learn something new everyday ... if you really try and/or make it a goal. Would have liked to seen you make the sides and structure, but your commentary & verbal instructions were easy enough to follow. Here's a thought...you have some great big perfect logs to demo this, ... I wonder how it would work on a smaller scale, using wood the typical size wood and logs you'd find in the foods? Also, how long such a smaller scale fire might burn for? I know it wouldn't me be 14+ hours, but even if you could get 6-solid hours of burn time and wake to flames & coals of any kind, that too would be a success. EXCELLENT VIDEO & GREAT INSTRUCTIONS ALONG THE WAY.

Too many variables I’m afraid. A breeze would have burned this thing imperfectly and caused failure. Ideal circumstances show it to be possible, practicality keeps it from being viable.
I lived in a lean-to in Northern Michigan for a few weeks in late November,early December about 40 years ago and used a similar method for overnight heat using 16 to 20 in. firewood. I dug a pit so coals and ashes could build up and lined it with rocks. The back of the lean-to blocked the wind and the front faced the open fire and was just tall enough to sit in. Both ends were covered to block wind also and I added some lean-to high smokescreens that extended out beyond the lean-to several feet also. My ramp was only one sided and acted as an automatic feed and heat reflector on the opposite side of the fire. The ramp went to the edge of the pit. I remember sitting on my bed in a T shirt when it was snowing and blowing. I filled the ramp at bed time and around 5 am I would wake up slightly chilled, grab a few sticks of wood at the head of my bed, sit up and reach out and put them on the still hot coals without leaving the sleeping bag and get back in the bag until the fire was crackling good and I could get dressed in comfort. Keep in mind, it was all sand around the pit and several inches of snow on the ground so no fire hazard and I was working as a logger and had plenty of good hardwoods to burn.
A Damn Great Idea! I Love this and can't wait for my next opportunity to see this, and feel it, in action.
When confronted in the wild with keeping heat as a priority without having to feed the fire every hour or so, one can get a good sleep while remaining warm and cozy in the area of your bivouac or tented campsite. Thanks for this invaluable demonstration.
That's badass! Even building a smaller one that would be easier to construct in a survival situation would be super beneficial!
I was thinking of it's usefulness in a primitive/survival living arrangement. If you know you're gonna be camping or surviving for more than a week.
But still, i kinda wanna make one out of metal and concrete in the back yard :)
Impressed after the muddy deluge and all it still had a nice constant burn, not a smolder, a full fire. Very impressive way to have a self feeding 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Super cool idea. Thanks for testing it out and posting
it might burn logs for a long duration but the design and position of the feed logs would block the heat from radiating out preventing it from actually being capable of keeping you warm
It's always good to learn about how to survive in different ways, environments and conditions, I thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with the rest of the class😀. Thanks again Brother!!!
Wood soaked in wood, no doubt.
sick reference bro
+Blake Jay sweet comment on his reference, bro.
Duuuuuude, totally rad failure at commenting on a comment commentating a previously mentioned comment commentating his sick reference bro XD
great comment on that comment commenting on the comment that comments to the comment about the comment which contains that refrence m80
I'd like to begin commenting on the comments about the commenting on the comments commenting a previously commented reference. Nice comment, bro.
That's a lot of work if it was one person. I would probably use the Siberian log fire or the upside down fire methods. A lot less work if you are alone!!
I'd build one but I'd have to find something else for my 2 yr old to do while camping.
Check out some of my other videos for further inspiration. Sounds like your kid is at a good age to start helping. Never too young.
+DogFoot23 I like your Doom avatar.
+DogFoot23 I like the tough bleeding smile compared to the pained hurt original.
+aguyandhiscomputer I like your flower avatar. mine is a passionflower that grew on my porch.
Thanks. Never heard of a passionflower but I'm in Michigan, might not be here.
This is an awesome idea man, definitley gonna try this while camping with my friends, thank you for the quality content
The only purpose of this fire is for when you want to abandon your grandma in the woods but also want to make sure she doesn't freeze over night.
Lmfao
That sounds like you have real life situation going on there
Aamir Khan sounds pretty specific lol
@sheldon pereira That's why he doesn't want her to freeze while keeping her out of the way.
Really cool project, man. I appreciate all the work that went into making this video, must have had its challenges. Well done, you!
Soak the logs in wood!
Soak your air in oxygen
Soak your fuel in hydrocarbons (or whatever)
You guys just plane soak.
I will never add dihydrogen monoxide to my water though.
Damn straight! That stuff can dissolve most metals!
That's actually funny!!
I'm going to have a couple friends come over to help build one.. This thing rocks👍🏽👌🏼🤯🔥🔥🔥
I think it would work better if you soak the logs in wood.
How does it feel making a joke but nobody laughs
+Dante, Swagger of the Trolling Abyss hey hey well i read his soak the logs in wood comment and laughed and you know what?? it was a pretty good laugh 😄😄😄

I was there... I was there when that comment was first made on imgur. Man... I wish I had better things to look back on...
great idea for a cold weather camp
Did you soak the logs in wood first!?!

You've got a really great texture pack. I didn't know you could build this in Minecraft!
Very interesting. I wonder if it can be made to work with one slide. That way it would heat a shelter more efficiently. Thanks!
+Kevin Outdoors Yes, the feeder logs block much of the useful radiation.
+Kevin Outdoors you could probably just replace one of the sides that feed logs in with a large rock to hold the logs up and help radiate the heat
+Kevin Outdoors Yes. Doing this with just one side is the way Nessmuk did it. He describes it in *Woodcraft*.
+ClockCutter I'll check it out. Was going to try this weekend... but 20mile and hour winds are blowing all around at the moment.
don't even have to watch this, bloody good idea
I've got no intention in doing this but watched all of it anyway.
Not sure why I felt the need to watch this. I will never need a self feeding fire.
i ve never seen this its great fire
This very cool. I wonder if people in the stone age would have discovered something like this so that they don't have to constantly "tend the fire".
That’s what I’ve always wondered too... like were they always dogshit tired from having to check the goddamn fire every 3 hours? Nobody slept 8 hours until electricity was invented? I call bullshit... they probably figured out something like the example in the video.
Hell yeah. Well done. Thanks for the knowledge.
People, don't forget to soak your logs in wood!

I soak mine in bricks, works pretty good.

If you are staying at a static, even if only a few days, site you have time to construct it this is a very good all night fire. Allows you to sleep the night instead of waking up from shivering and tending the fire. Then fully rested you have the day to hunt, gather and collect another set of logs.
For those familiar with Imgur remember to soak your logs in wood 😎
I remember watching this about 3 years ago. TH-cam recommended me to watch it again.
