      He does have a good presenting style. I think is the low bullshit with no product placement that does it for me. 🤠

    Brilliant. Thank you for sharing this practical history.

    I love this ingenious set up 🙂 Something I noticed, the smell of wood smoke is pleasant to almost everyone, shows how long fires like this have been a source of comfort and security.
    I would love to have a land similar to yours one day, I do enjoy open fires and would be able to experience them more often 🙂

    Really enjoyed the Swedish Torch video. What a great solution for a small but usable fire solution. I especially liked the chainsaw solution which gets the fire a bit higher up so that a pot can be tended without squatting down. Thank you.

    I made a tiny miniature version with the square block from a pallet. I bored a hole 2/3rds the way down and a hole from the side. A smaller hole opposite side to help with air flow it burned for ages. Was amazing.

    I love your narrative style. Also the doggy, what a love. My one venture winter camping I dragged my Labrador into the sleeping bag when the wind got up, so we were both happy. I wonder how the old Swedes got the kerf wide enough to start the blaze unless they used the splitting trick.

      Thanks for that! I agree that the splitting method is most likely what they will have used. It is really esay with a saw and an axe.

    Great Stuff.
    How well does the branch torch work after the fire makes it past the cut part?

    • @theviewfromtheclouds
      @theviewfromtheclouds  2 วันที่ผ่านมา +3

      Hi, once the flames get down past the cut, it goes out. Useful, as you don't have to extinguish it.

    Glad to see how much help you got from Hazel, makes things so much more efficient :) However, I am worried that you might have missed a petting-spot for a split-second or so, very burdensome for her to make sure you remember to pet her enough! lol (sorry, just needed a comment for the youtube-algorithm, and she's behaving just like my old dog used to)

    If you can hold the log horizontal and cut in from the side with a chainsaw, you produce lovely curly shavings which are amazing for firelighting. I have a cantilever device that makes it really easy, for the longer style anyway

    Did you burn your hand on the pan handle? It must have been hot.

    • @theviewfromtheclouds

      It does look that way! But, no. I didn't want to burn my coat on the flames.

    Just get a Fiskars X27 splitting axe or Fiskars Builders maul mate. Guaranteed for life and it’ll change your life with its efficiency!

    Do you honestly think that this technique was “discovered” during the Thirty Years War ??? It was a technique thought out years before that - the real story is lost in the mists of history and would not have been “ discovered” by one person

    How hypocritical that the opening shots show you sitting by an unnecessarily large and wasteful fire.
