[@destraw6221]

Seeing that windbreak stack of logs in the picture made me think 'the long fire' must be a fire that chambers a new log from a log magazine by using gravity every time a log burns up. Here I go overthinking things again

[@koboskolors]

Not only are your videos relaxing, but amazingly resourceful. Thank you for what you do.

[@framerguy]

I can only add, from sitting around similar fires for so many hours myself, that the relaxation is simply a reflection of how Lonnie feels whenever he gets out in the wilderness and is at peace with himself and one with the nature that surrounds him. That is more than any feeling that one can express to another but more of a level of "mindfulness" of where you are and what you are experiencing at the moment. I envy the chance you and Connie have taken to experience that type of life. Had I only known, when I was young enough to physically do what had to be done to leave the life I thought I had for the life that I later found that I truly enjoyed, I would probably be one of your distant neighbors across the ridge and we would both be sharing one another's fire from a distance spanned only by the silence of the Northwoods.

I love the fact that although he probably knows how to start a fire using natural materials, he didn’t bother with messing about and just used a lighter.. 👍

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

I do indeed know how to start a fire many different ways. Even though I am very experienced in friction fire methods and lit my first bow drill fire over 40 years ago, I still light probably 95% of my fires with a lighter. I feel no need to try to prove anything by using more "politically correct" bushcraft fire lighting methods in my videos when it is not what i do when off the camera. In other words, I try to be just plain me whether on or off camera. I try to be *real*. Thanks for the positive feedback. For those interested, they can watch my primitive fire playlists.

@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival You dont need to explain or justify your method to make fire, when the real propose is showing how to build and use the "Long Fire".Great job, and continue like always.

[@55Quirll]

@@haar71 I agree, his videos are instructional and very informative. I was wondering, to keep the fire heating the shelter, would you have put 3 7" logs on top of the 2 bottom logs before lighting? You did a video where you had 1 8" log on top of another 8" log to see if the fire would heat the shelter for 8 hours - 1" / hour. A good way to help keep you warm in the winter. Thank you for a great video.

I'm 62 and never spent much time camping or surviving in the woods. I wish I had learned what Lonnie teaches when I was younger. These are some of the most fascinating videos I have ever watched. I was stationed in North Dakota when I was young and in the Air Force and it gets pretty cold there and I used to think how tough and hearty the early settlers and Native Indians of that area must have been just to survive before all the conveniences we have now. A person really has to be knowledgeable, strong, and alert to survive. Thank you Lonnie for all this great information. I am still going to try to learn as much as I can just in case.

[@morpheoist]

hello, I have tried different types of wood and I discovered that a lot depends on the type of tree and how dry the logs are. I live in Italy on a small island and the trees that I find of the right size are: holm oak, pine, ash. mainly holm oak, there are not many large ash trees, and pines are often much larger. I would tend to immediately discard the pine wood because what I find belongs to dead trees that the wind has dropped. the outside is punctured by termites and the heartwood inside is little and very resinous. once you get to the most compact part it is like putting 4-inch diameter logs. even healthy trees that I happened to cut down after an hour the trunk catches fire due to the resin. the advantage is that it also burns fresh. in emergency, the pine is the tree to be felled. as long as you find a small one because here they are centenarians and they are really big. Holm oak, like all oaks, is a hard and compact wood with short and irregular fibers. It lasts a long time but once the small pieces you put in the middle are finished, it will tend to go out slowly unless you add other small pieces to make a flame. the advantage of the holm oak is that once the fire is well started it will make a lot of embers which will continue to burn without flame. a well-made fire in the morning will seem out but under the ashes there will still be embers lit and restarting it will be simple. watching various survival programs such as Naked and Afraid I noticed that no one has the ability to juggle fire.I have seen competitors spend their days gathering wood and making huge fires all day even in the desert for fear of it going out and not being able to more turn on again. not knowing about fire is very serious for anyone who claims to be an expert in survival. many are good at turning it on comfortably seated at the table in the garden and believe that this is enough, the reality is very different.

[@peartree8338]

I dunno but I was going to comment on the fact that his shelter is too far away from the fire to capture the heat which basically ruins the whole purpose of the campfire. At the same time he's burning up 3 giant sized logs! So wasteful and worthless basically.

Pretty darn good for a guy like me that loves to end his day in the wild with a bottle and a bone. I can't wait to replicate your entire setup there. PS, your hint about shielding your shelter with rocks is a great idea. I also wonder if they will retain some of the heat through the night. I bet they would.

Totally agree.

[@DustyRoadz]

Thank you for you videos. I'm a city slicker trying to get back to a way of living that I believe to be better way than the way I was born into. I believe this world is moving more and more away from a true form of living. If I got stuck in the woods by myself, I wouldn't last very long because I was never raised in this art. All in all, at 34 years old I've learned that the way society has grown away from practical knowledge and puts more credit on a college degree than on how to live practically, is what has left people like myself yearning for a deeper level of life while I still have breath. Once again, thank you as I learn from watching your videos and look forward in applying this knowledge as I stay on the path.

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+Jontra Volta The flute was indeed being played live in this video recording. Let me explain. The video camera was indeed picking up me playing live as you seen, but I was also using the microphone on my Android tablet to to pick up the sound and run it through an app which adds reverb or echo sound effects to the video. The output from the video was then sent to my remote portable bluetooth speaker which was then picked up by the video camera's microphone. What you saw me reach for at the end of the flute playing was to turn the android app off so that it would not "echo" my words as well. That is also why that segment of the video had quieter spoken audio since my microphone was not on my person as usual but was out in front of the flute to pick up the flute sound

Lonnie, I couldn't reply to your comment and you are correct. An addendum to my thought would be to make the cuts in the front log and close the gap until the top log falls. Separate after it does and the coals will have access to your shelter for heat. Or/ and rocks to aid in blocking the oxygen. My goal was simply to extend the burn after the drop. Again, you and your vids are a great resource for me and I appreciate your efforts.

First saw this about a year ago and still like to view it when it pops up. Good job Lonnie.

[@TatDarYow]

Really enjoy your videos Lonny, they are always spot on (in my opinion). Peace Larry

+TatDarYow Thank you Larry. Your long time support of viewing and commenting on my videos means a lot to me.

Anybody that spends all that time around camps fires....AND....keeps that beard intact has to know their shit!

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+RUBIZEN My beard has been smoking at least once. lol My grey beard had a brown stain on it for a few days where it had burnt and those folks who were with me at the time really enjoyed my frustration and embarrassment. lol For a second or two I couldn't figure out why I had smoke drifting past my face.

[@RUBIZEN]

Oh man. Thats hilarious. lol Probably smelled terrible too.

[@timmullens9479]

+RUBIZEN True -if I had been earlier educated -I'd still have my beard !

[@BobbyMulqueen]

Had me laughing this! I singed my beard a few times. I'm still learning the hard way I guess.

Forget that hes kept that casio watch intact since the 1980's

How could you not like this video? Great vid. Old school wisdom that makes since for a cold night out in the wild.

Appreciate someone with true knowledge spreading his knowledge unto others. God Bless brother.

It would be great if you could play your flute more often in your videos. It sounds good, unique and creates a special mood. Love your videos and I've subscribed awhile ago.

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

I don't practice on the flute like I should and so I don't have the skill to give my flute playing enough variety. After a while my songs all sound the same. Thanks for subscribing. I appreciate it. Welcome to the channel. I recognise your thumbnail picture as a frequent commenter and want to also thank you for your comments.

That's some beautiful country you live in.

[@peterpierce9793]

That is one sweet casio wrist watch. Wish I still had one. Best watches ever!

[@GBWagner1]

Thank for the vid and the tricks. (The reverb of the whistle is perfect.)
