How to Build the ULTIMATE Swedish Fire Torch!

Alright, dirty minds reset please.. 🪓 Welcome back, everyone! Today, I'm beyond excited to share my experience with the brand-new AX1 Hatchet from Beaver Craft Tools. A huge shoutout to Beaver Craft Tools for sending this my way, especially after my old one met an unfortunate end at the hands of my friend Marc - yes, Marc, the blame is officially yours! 😄
In this video, join me on a journey into the heart of the forest as I put the AX1 Hatchet to the test. It's been months since I had a reliable hatchet, and this one seems like it's going to be a game-changer.
Watch as I craft my first Swedish Fire Torch, a perfect project for a beautiful autumn day. We'll delve into a bit of Bushcraft, enjoy the crisp fall air, and top it all off with a relaxing brew. There's nothing like the combination of quality tools and nature to reset the mind and elevate the outdoor experience.

How frustrating.... I had to re render this video as I made a mistake in the narrating yesterday and would you believe it, the mistake is still there. Where's my brain at!! Can you hear the mistake? 10 points if you do haha!

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

A clever system for a long dark evening. Brilliant option 👏

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Morning Harry, yes definitely mate. You don't need many logs to keep it going for ages, well worth it pal

[@Conny79]

that beaver is looking sharp!! lol

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Very Leon haha!! Cheers pal!

[@joehusband8479]

Just watched this from the luxury of my hammock 😂 Nice hatchet that Ant, looks a very handy size 👌

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Ahh nice Joe, you out and about mate, what's for tea? Least the wind as calmed down for you pal. Yeah super size isn't it bud, perfect for a back pack. Have a top night pal

[@joehusband8479]

@@AntSurviveTheNight cheers Ant. Chillie & rice tonight. The wind has dropped a bit but still fairly windy up here, but still good to be out 👍

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Ahh one of my favourite dishes that pal. Hope you had a top night Joe

[@Kev.B.4311]

Yep, U got a real nice Beaver there dude...!🤣 Candle burned well, how long for...?🤔 Good job with the clear up at the end, we know, but some do not, that "leave no trace", isn't just about taking litter home... Even if I've just kicked aload of leaves out of the way, I always take time to spread them back out again B4 I go...✔️💯👍...

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Hello Kev, 😄 it's always hard trying to think of a good title but this one was easy 🤣 . Yeah the torch was impressive, I was thereafter good hour after lighting it and as you saw at the end, I had to put it out so I reckon I'd have got possibly another 30ish mins out of it. I could have easily cooked breakfast on it. Such a great way to have a fire mate. Yeah, this area I've used for years. The fire pit was originally made by me and Charlie, we carried a load of sand in and dug down quite a ways so I tend to keep my fires there and as you saw tide up after. Its the least we can do isn't it pal. Thank you for watching

[@rialobran]

Nice looking hatchet, good ergonomic looking handle and not too long.

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Yeah it's a great size for jobs like this Si. A decent size for feather sticks too mate. 👌

[@marksadventures3889]

Nothing like a good beaver line to get responses- kudos Ant. 👏 Nice chopper by the way.

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Haha, just thought I'd see if it produces any more views putting a title like that. Just proves it as I've got more views but most aren't into the outdoors lol. I couldn't see myself parading around in knickers to get views if I'm honest mate lol

[@marksadventures3889]

@@AntSurviveTheNight 😂😂😉 definitely not in this weather mate. Yup innuendo works every time especially for folks like me raised on Carry On flicks, no harm was done and we all had a giggle. Getting a saucy postcard from an Asian female workmate was strange though - I think they've been assimilated into Lancashire culture- born in Bolton and living in Burnley...lol.

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Haha ooooO matron haha, me too mate

[@Petestleger]

I Googled "show us your beaver" and got some ermm...interesting... results, but anyways, tidy looking hatchet, and having looked at their products before, I'm amazed at the value they offer. I hope they're not under-selling themselves. If circumstances were different, I would certainly be buying from them. All the best, Pete.

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Hi there Pete, good to see you again pal. Haha yeah best not google anything 🤣. Yes mate, I'm super impressed and it was just what I needed as mine was written off in February. They are a quality company with quality products. I need to buy some knives off them for carving, well worth the money.

[@Petestleger]

@@AntSurviveTheNight Yeah, it was their carving knives that caught my eye. I have one of those cheapo sets from [name of a south American river] which kinda works for spoon carving (see Insta from way back) but, if/when I fancy an upgrade, Beavercraft do seem to offer the best next step. Up the bushcraft, and up the Beaver. Or something.

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

@Petestleger haha I like that, South American river lol. Yeah I too bought those mate, they have been good, made two Kuksa's with them but yeah I would like a set

[@andy5351]

Always said the swedes were a clever bunch. I take it not long to boil with those flames mate? Nice axe 🪓too 👍😊 ATB P and X

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Hi guys, oh for sure they are aren't they. Not at all Phil, I should have timed it. Building a fire this way certainly keeps it burning longer pal. Thanks mate, enjoy your weekend guys.

[@tedwiley8215]

Nice 👍😎🍻

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Thank you Ted, hope you have a great thanksgiving pal, all the very best

[@billyslittlebigadventurech9050]

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Hi Billy, hope your doing ok pal. Yeah it's class mate, very compact and stores real well in your pack. Oh nice mate, they are top axes those pal. I have seen a couple, they are beasts. Yeah you can tell a quality axe if it holds the edge. First time build for me, gonna be cooking a breakfast next time on one I reckon pal. Look after yourself dude.

[@EventyrsorenDenmark]

So cool to watch. Thanks. Happy weekend 😊😊😊

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Hi Eventy, hope your well sir. Thank you very much as always mate. Have a lovely weekend yourself pal

[@MCMOutdoors]

Great to see you had a firm grip on that beaver mate. Nice hatchet. We will have to make a few of those Swedish torches for our upcoming camp pal. ATB

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Haha definitely gotta cup it right Chris. Yeah it's a cracking bit of kit mate that's for sure, the perfect size for every day use. Yeah I was just saying you said that to Rick. We'll get a couple of these going on the Christmas camp and get the good stuff cooking on them mate

[@mnmikeoutdoors8595]

Do you get Thanksgiving Day with your Black Friday? Thanks for the video. Picturesque! I love the hatchet.

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Hey Mike, we don't mate unfortunately but I'd like to wish you and my other subscribers who celebrate it a wonderful Thanksgiving, all the very best mate. Yeah it's a stunning woodland, I love going there, very rare if you see people which is good. Yes, the hatchet does the job and looks very cool! Thanks pal!

Oh mate now your talkin!! Yum 😋

[@schonbeardwildmark]

As a Swede I am always happy to tag along your adventures mate both with of without beaver 😳 Nice little axe mate but I probably stick with the Gränsfors axe.

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Haha you know your more than welcome to head out with me matey 😄. Yeah it a perfect fit in a pack like this one mate. Your axe is class pal. Hope all is good your end buddy.

[@cathoutdoors523]

Hi Ant great video as always. I didn't see a mistake. Lovely countryside and a nice hatchet. 😊👍

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Hi Cath, thank you as always. Haha yeah I said Good Friday instead of Black Friday. I wouldn't mind I redid it about 10 times, thought I'd put the right voice over on it and low and behold it was still the same lol. Yeah great to be outdoors isn't it although not today, another absolutely wet and miserable day again! Have a top week
