Hi just came across your channel, your sharing approach on the swedish torch is really informational. Just wondering how large is your homestead? Do you have a video on your initial setup and challenges?

Very interesting. I learnt something I didn't necessarily need to know...but I'm glad to know. And I congratulate you for having such an easy relaxed style of presentation.

Swedish Torch, made by ancient Swedish Vikings using Swedish Chainsaws ... probably Husqvarna

4:00 is it because the trunk wasn't cut down to the ground, perhaps? for younger ash tree has anyone tried 1:1 rain water and spoiled milk? like on roses??

Love your dog. ❤

Fantastic video! By the way, I’m heading over to build a tiny cabin so that I may live on your property. 😉👍🏻

Basically you use an axe, but for Swedish candle (not torch) you need a saw. This is important.

Se on jätkänkynttilä, perkele

Such a good dog to allow a human to guest on their channel.

This is gold amazing

What a strange dude. I now need to leave dead trees standing to support biodiversity. The liberal mind…

Back in the '80s my father and I worked at the local colliery, there was talk of going on strike and so my father and I went into the forest next to our house and started cutting up the fallen and dead standing trees using the axe I forged at the college but after a week of cutting with that and a bow saw we went and bought a second hand chainsaw., within about 3 months we had a massive collection of firewood, the anticipated strike didn't come but we enjoyed going into the forest for the firewood even though we received free coal, another 3 months and firewood stacks were mountainous, we decided the strike wouldn't happen, a week or so later and the rhetoric from the union said otherwise, another week and we were all out on strike, that firewood was worth its weight in gold as all our hot water and heating was produced by a back burner, it lasted us well through the strike although after about 2 months I got a new engineering apprentiship and never went back to the pit.

Katos perkele, jätkänkynttilä.

Going to try that. Thanks for sharing.

Good lord..this is what they made youtube shorts for.

Your beautiful girl 🐶 sure does love you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I hate to be the guy that asks you where you found that awesome hoodie, but I have to ask :). It looks very cozy!

I'm interested in 1600s history. I never heard of this. Thanks. I'll have to try it out some day.

good boy!

Most spoiled dog ever

Really fascinating. Also, your dog so clearly loves you. It’s very sweet to watch.

So... you show a "torch" getting started, bundled with twine. Being lit by sparks assisted by match. Okay., fine. Then, through the magic of editing, we see a multitude, burning strong. All chainsaw-style. QUESTION: If you don't have a chain saw (like the Swedes of 400 years ago), and you used axe + twine, what happens when the fire reaches the rope and burns it through? Does the thing just fall apart and make a mess??

A very well presented video. Thank you. I will try this when back in PNG .

What a wonderful dog

Awesomeness!!! Thank you! 1st time I ever saw the Swedish torch!!!! A MUST do!!!!!😎👍

Bonus points for using a Swedish chainsaw.

Treading the fine line between a good, relaxed, educational presenter... and a Fast Show character. Great video!

In Finland we call this Jätkänkynttilä

Brilliant!!

Well I’ll be dipped 🤔

GOOD DOG

I will now bring a square with me when camping!

I'm impressed those branch torches stay lit so well.

Sir, everything about this video is exceptional! Nearly every word had value. I learned a great deal from this video. Thank you.

3:00 STARTS HERE

Came for the log Stayed for the dog❤

This is a fantastic video. Many thanks for your efforts. I found this informative, relaxing, and mesmerizing. A great combination.

Off topic - lovely dog.

Who's a good boy!!!

Hi from Canada! I really really appreciate this video and MUST try this. I live on a bit over 2 acres and have many fallen trees around. I am excited to try a Swedish Torch. Thank you for this informative video.

This just reminds me of the Netflix film 'the ritual'

Much love to Hazel and you from Atlanta!

should be punting cardboard and then leaves from the forest around the young tress (with cut up leftover tiny branches that you did not put in piles, or put wood chips, sawdust, corn cob) like a small garden and grow mushrooms that will make right humus + right bacteria + mushrooms that will bust the growth of trees + you have some nice mushroom food production? as grass around trees is not an ideal condition for trees to mimic forest floor... would also consider The Miyawaki Method (kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGKQk4Gmdp55h6c)

Sverige för alltid!

Bless your heart

great video! Loved your perspective! Birch and alder here are perfect and in a similar style coppice rotation.. im saving to buy the land atm. God willing🙏

Great vid. Thanks. And yes, also the dog!! I hope that pooch lives a long happy life in the outdoors with you 👍 (oh, and vice-versa, lol)

Hmmm, northern Germany doesn’t have large pine tree growth, so you are talking Norway or Sweden.
