you always grab only the the upper part not too wet and anyway if you leave it on the Sun you will try it will dry up in a few minutes right up you can always put it inside your fruits so the detail of your body right here is a one of my campsite and the right areas where we put we'll build our fire
because like Nikki's I'd like this where everything around you is really what it's a really important to make by the place where the color back I put it around a tree and through here we are and then you're so artistic now we make one looped and the second loop and here we put our stick again sorry for the camera one loop and the second loop here we put a stick okay we can adjust it and then I'll beg right here sorry for the camera anyway this is a concept okay so it's out of the way oh let's start this fire in winter in winter and I user very often the reverse fire or a self-feeding fire as you can call it and is made in it's called reverse because instead of starting the fire and then building up with the wooden the fire we start on the top and it's it will burn down very slowly and so it's perfect in winter when you use with the coal you use mod Maura mood and you need more wood and also is a very important you to know it during the night because you can leave it there and it will keep going for a long time first we take two blocks off the same the same size the same section and we put it like this this parallel way and then we will build the layers up this will will serve for many reason one of the first is the oxygen will have much space to go up on our fire and feed our fire and then we can put something we need to do warm up here and also we will have a much ashes down here and so after that in so we can use them to cook to make her other stuff so let's let's start the sword I made this really rough and not very well made but walking for now
now let's keep building our fire should be well the same size so we see if we can find another log of this side as you can see we've made the two logs on the base then 12 this is the third floor mayor of the hora whatever you can call it and I guess we'll made another one where we'll catch our fire not about to neither now instead of my usual knife I will use this bar of carbon steel that and i have put rough edge on it with a big angle really big angle because i need it only to split the wood and i prefer to use this instead of my life that i will keep that will it will keep the edge really better without the bottle it on it wanna start as you can see no you don't need a perfect edge closer it's letter so in the fibers of the wood so it's very easy Kennedy the big angle also helps to split it and when I will catch my eye fire we will put this inside it to get rated
now I will make some feathers in my that I will put it in my blanket to start my fire as you can see the inner part of the log is dry even if it's a hole wet outside
I don't know why many people are obsessed to make a perfect feather sticks but for me it's important to start the fire not to make the perfect looking feathers sticks and these feathers it's the best to top my fire and then I will need to keep then on the stick I will make a pile of them and use them to start the fire and this way for me is a really really quicker then pay attention to make the perfect feather sticks but anyway and one has its secrets and this way to put things together especially in the in the wood where your experience is the best companion you cannot have ever with you so when you learn something you it will become a pressure precious for you I'm not saying that you can't learn anything from from others on the contrary I have learned a lot on my other friends and under other people that the share with me the same passion or the the wooden for network I'm always saying that to be outside and 12 your experience is a really really important to have a knife with a good edge that's the reason why i use a stupid bar carbon steel bar to split the wood and keep my edger for this job because I prefer to use it this way and if you are going to stay outside for many days you will have to use your knife or the most part of your day so it's better to have a perfect edge on it not now that we have made a good amount of headers we will make a good pile of them see
just less than five minutes of work and we have this and we will put them here like this and we will catch our fire on it in the filaments now it's time for for this that we have put in South inside our West which is perfect to make a good learnist to be honest review is not really really perfectly dry but I guess it will catch the fire anyway my opinion try to take out all the moving part so it will be easier to catch your fire here we have the the chocolate we have made previously and then stupid their coating they put on on the fire still sometimes ok
here we have good we don't need to to ever rush in this process especially when the grass is not very dry
now it's time for our good sticks graphics that we have grabbed what we are trying to do is make some good coals hot coals to dry up the the lower layers so with at the time you will have a fire that we will spread the instead of upside downside but it will do it very slowly and you will have a no need to to watch it all the way because once this happen smaller fire and catch sorry well you will need to do anything more and that's all we have to do put this I don't know if you can know it already but making a chocolate it's really really an easy process you just have to use a I can like this soon it has to be in steel and not the aluminium because otherwise it will melt but anyway we have this and some pieces of of cotton opener t-shirts you make pieces besides you want
and you can also use some pits of Frankie would like like this has to be really really soft and they're almost rotten good driver a perfect char would you close it and you put it inside the inside side or near the fire and that's the reason you have for you to feel because aluminium will melt as I said and that's it you leave it for half an hour and after a while you will see that some smoke will come out of of it and that's when the process is starting when the smoke is coming out anymore isn't coming out anymore the process is done as you can see the smoke is coming out from this and that's the from that you can assume that the process is a perfectly working you can see the second floor the second layer is starting to burn and also down as you can see it's already burning and the ashes come down as I said and after a while in this region you will have many calls that you can use it to cook your meal or your sticks if you have a stick to cook on the coast you can grab the coast from here and use it on the grill and under the grill
now that we don't have much more smoke coming out from from this we can take it out and the venturi put it right is no go down then make sure that it will be dry inside inside it we will have enough chocolate to catch many many fires and to catch the fire with charcoal squeaker you can use many methods I have used my fire Taylor and as you can so as a you saw it takes only few sparks to start to catch the fire for the chocolates but you can also use a magnifier lens with a good son not only during summer but also York winter I've started many fire only with the Sun mana fire less or you can use a flint and steel unfortunately around my place I can find many many Flint right Flint to to make sparks from the steel as you can see how our water is boring so it's time for our good tea I don't know if you can see it but the steel is tempering you see the still there yes guys
it is I can or than an hour as you can see my piece of carbon steel is the tempering as i said i'm not sure if you can see it very well because of the sun in front of us but this is our self feeding fire it's not as i said a night frame fire but it's perfect for the wind so all guys I thank you for your time and for the time we spend together and I just wait for seeing you in the next video bye bye
