In Grade 8, I was in a northern Canadian school with no gym. One day, for gym class, our teacher took us out in -20 C on snowshoes and told each group of 3 students to start a campfire. BEST LESSON EVER! You've set up a lot of great examples and created your own weather system in the process. Thanks for sharing.

[@uncertaintytoworldpeace3650]

The kid whose parent was the teachers experience: evidently completely alien to us. This kid just brought lighter fluid or charcoal to school because his mom was the bitch who made everybody sit out in the cold.

I lit my first fire with a rod striker😄 the right kindling is the key. Im still gonna die if the world goes to shit but at least I'll be warm.

[@TChalla616]

It's harder than it looks, and should be practiced. I took my kids camping, and had them grabbing sticks, and twigs for kindling. After 30 minutes of trying to get it to light with a ferro rod, I finally had to get out some dryer lint I stored. Fyi dryer lint lights very easily.

[@pamelabratton2501]

I appreciate that! I have a new wood stove and have been practicing lighting it with a striker and tinder, no matches. Much harder than I expected....

[@pamelabratton2501]

@@TChalla616 I have a small box full of the stuff to use lighting fires! Good idea.

[@pamelabratton2501]

Oh! I just made a lot of char cloth out of an old cotton PJ bottom using an old Uno card game tin with a few holes punched in it. IT WORKED! We Will try starting a fire with it later!

[@waynehoffman456]

A tin full of dryer lint is always good. Don’t be afraid to grab up loose dry grass clippings or dry dead weeds. A birds nest can be made very fast with what is on the ground. Always remember it is easy to have too little kindling and impossible to have too much!

[@braddavenport1540]

Don't get me wrong you do great research and quality videos but its nice to see some practical how to videos instead of end of the world stuff great job! The dogs are looking good!!

[@mileswindham8336]

Being an insulin dependent diabetic, I always have alcohol and cotton balls. I found once I use a soaked cotton ball and tossed it into a campfire it burned for a very long time. I now keep a plastic bottle with soaked cotton balls in it. I prep my campfire, place 2 to 3 balls in different areas and light. They easily burn hot and long therefore getting a roaring fire going in short order. I just tie a string around my bottle and hang close to where my fire pit is and bingo, I’m ready. Just an idea your viewers might want to try. My grandkids love a campfire when we are in the Mountains.

[@lucaskosmata7953]

This is a very good idea, low cost and effective. I appreciate it sir.

[@e.t.preppin7084]

Fire is so awesome. Help’s boost moral gives such a sense of comfort and safety and it’s so cool to watch the flames. It’s like it is alive. Not to mention you can cook food or heat treat some steel for some knife making which happens to be my favorite use of fire !!!

[@DjGlenJon]

When using a pocket bellows blow from the wide end. (Was shown used the wrong way around) cheers CP I use a few of these methods

[@CanadianPrepper]

This one is so skinny, there is little funneling so it doesnt make a significant difference, but youre right for a larger one it would be the better end for more air pressure, good point!

[@suemitchell2200]

Where does one find an antenna anymore? Have to go to a wrecking yard. Is there anything else that is telescoping that is small and portable?

[@CanadianPrepper]

@@suemitchell2200 you can buy them on amazon for a couple bucks

[@VirtualHayden]

Narrow end toward the fire makes a huge difference and keeps you much further away from the fire.

[@daleadmire1451]

@@suemitchell2200 try busiest bee pocket bellows and fire fuses on Amazon, both are amazing.

[@clarkmorrison7243]

I would use the antenna bellows exactly the opposite - blow into the large end, and the air coming out the small end is moving much faster coming out the short end. Used to do this back in the day with aluminum tent poles.

[@capnpicard6146]

Bless your heart for using that much of your firewood for demonstration purposes haha

One additional suggestion for the Canadian/Swedish fire stove (use 1-3 inch logs, stack them vertically, tie them together, start your tinder on top, when it burns down into coals, add whatever you want)

[@thebritace9351]

For the lean to fire if u face the large logs towards the wind and leave an opening in between them it will allow for a channel of air to fuel the fire. This will enable it to reach higher temperatures, useful for cooking/boiling

[@dutchcourage7312]

The starfire actually has a relative in 'primitive cooking' (and not some dudes in the bush, but cooking in developing countries). It's a fire like this with 3 logs and 3 stones, where the stones are bigger than the logs, which in these countries tend to be more like big branches. The use might be obvious to some, but you light the fire in the center and then put the pot on the tree stones suspended above the center of the fire... Now there is added functionality to this type of fire, that is the control of heat. By pushing the logs in or pulling them out, the height of the flame can somewhat be managed, and with that the heat underneath what you are cooking.

[@AliceAttentionWhore]

Are you talking about some kind of tripod?

[@carlosvazquezreyes4970]

@@AliceAttentionWhore the stones act as platforms to lay the pot on and the wood goes on the spaces between the rocks. A good way to think of it based on the star fire in this videos is to remove 3 of the logs he used and put big rocks in their place

[@Sagaofsr]

We do this in Zambia in rural areas

[@devfish3329]

[@thelograph7162]

Very helpful and I enjoyed the sound of crackling fire.

[@BullShitMatador]

I learned the best cold weather fire techniques camping in the Dakotas as a kid. A Dakota fire is the only way to go. A hole about 8 inches across and about a foot deep with an angled vent on the side. When we stopped for the night, we'd each build our own separate fire to burn for a couple hours to heat up the ground, and one we used as a collective campfire for the night. Push off the snow as much as possible so everything stays dry. When you're ready for bed, you fill in your individual fire covering the coals so it keeps smoldering, and set your bed roll on top of it to stay warm during the night. Sandy ground is best. You can use practically anything as fuel. It wastes less fuel, makes little smoke, burns longer, holds heat better, is easier to cook over, and much easier and quicker to extinguish. You can basically make a really warm fire on just a little bit of fuel. You just keep dropping fuel it as the night along and occasionally clear the vent with a stick.

[@Daniel-ef7nk]

I never tried this, do you think the heat is good enough for Canada? Could you do it inside a tent or would there be some carbon monoxide risk? I think having little smoke would be crucial during a shtf situation

[@Jauffre-innit]

Don't forget about the Siberian Fire log. Extremely useful in cold weather.

[@michaelandujar8109]

Nice to see different types of fires

[@thadastory]

Wonderful job. Reminds me of when I was teaching or in a survival class in Boy Scouts

[@ZeusmanSays]

All the basic 3D shapes: cone, cylinder, pyramid, cube, disc and wedge. My daughter found those easier to remember vs names from different eras and different countries. The antenna is a clever idea. Good tip!

[@oryxified1430]

Oh, that crackling is just divine. Makes you feel warm just listening to it

[@paul6894]

It was cool you made all the fires at the same time. I have made all these types of fires myself. Mostly it depends on what's available and the conditions. Everyone enjoys a nice fire.

[@drowssapma]

That fire torch is so good for cooking!! I made several of these last year and cooked some nice meals. Plan on more cooking this year.

I have my own campfire method that I have been working on. It is fairly easy, I take some logs and sticks, toss them together randomly in a pile, spray them with lighter fluid and toss on a match. From my experience it seems to work every time. 😀

I use the upside-down method before I set up my camp as it needs little to no tending by the time set up is done I can sit by a lovely warm fire and even start cooking straight away. Though I do usually crack a beer open and chill at that point.

[@prepontwowheelz69]

Very, very nice video CP... Thanks a lot...!

[@fisbuar]

Good video, but i'd like to mention, if you have little or no transition wood from big to smaller, theres a rule for campfires, which always works. if its hard to catch the bigger stuff on fire, just keep building higher. The higher the campfire the easier it'll burn. even with a handful of twigs and some kindling at the bottom, a 1 inch flame, can suddenly become a 5-15 inch flame, from licking along the wood above it, which increases the temperature in your fire quickly, and starts to ignite the wood gasses quickly, increasing combustion, and with enough heat, you can burn anything... Summary is... if you struggle to get a campfire to really get going, keep adding height, then feed the flames at the bottom with small sticks, and it will eventually take care of it self.
