Mate another beautifully shot video and the most comprehensive explanation and demonstration I have seen thank you very much 👍👍👍

[@markbailey2981]

Thanks Howard. I love making Swedish fire torches. They are simple and very effective. I haven't made on in a while, I might get one made this week. Thanks again for watching Howard....... al the best, Mark. :)

A brilliant fire setup...here in CANADA, we know this as the *Canadian Candle* used on the banks of the lakes, as signal marker fires, for our night fishermen...

Hi Logan, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment :) It is very much appreciated. Have a great day my friend, all the best, Mark :)

If you were using an axe instead of a saw to get the initial log could you dig a hole and loosely mount it in the hole because the axe chopped ends wouldn't stand level on the ground?

Hey Mark, thanks for the instruction, something I can take away and make myself at camp. New subscriber from myself, Trev

[@Intotheoutdoors69]

Thanks for sharing and this is on my list to do😁👍

[@markbailey2981]

Thanks Carl...… yeah a great way to have a fire :) Another way is to use sperate small branches if you don't have a large log to start off with. Have a great day mate, all the best, Mark :)

I'm going to try this at weekend 👍

[@markbailey2981]

Thanks for watching the video David...... have a great weekend, Mark.

[@CarlosRamirez-we8zi]

Realistic 👍 not like those other videos guys in the woods with chain saws

[@nowakezoneforever6021]

Nice video Mark. Very well produced and a thorough explanation and demonstration of the Swedish fire torch. My next camp is in ten days and the torch is one of my goals. I’ll have a bit of wire with me but want to try a vine or withy first. What axe are you using in this video?

[@markbailey2981]

Hi Nowakezone Forever, many thanks for watching and for the kind comment :) I hope you have a great time when you go away!! I have just got back in from a quick overnighter. I wanted to stay longer, but I'm working all weekend :( The axe is an Hultafors Agdor trekking axe. You can usually find them on Amazon or eBay for around £40. They are a great axe for the money. Thanks again and have a great weekend, all the best, Mark :)

[@nowakezoneforever6021]

Mark Bailey Mark I certainly know what you mean by you wanted to stay longer. Maybe it’s a good thing we don’t get all we want.... keeps us hungry for the next time. Thank you for the axe info! Shortly after I asked you in the comments I watched your video on the Hultafors where you said that’s the axe you prefer. I like to baton my axes with the maul I made. Thanks so much for your hard work. You make it so much easier for us

[@markbailey2981]

@@nowakezoneforever6021 You are very welcome my friend :) Thank you for the great comment :) I hope that you had a great weekend, all the best, Mark :)

[@stevenwatson3963]

Hi mate, great vid cheers.Useful skill to know.

[@markbailey2981]

Hi Steven, many thank for watching and taking the time to comment. Yeah, it is a handy fire to learn how to make. Enjoyable at the same time. Thanks again, all the best, Mark.

[@feralgrandad4429]

Every weekend I mean to try this. Thanks for giving me the insensitive :-)

[@markbailey2981]

Glad I could help. They don't take very long to make and burn for ages. You will have to let me know how it goes. thanks for watching FG, all the best, Mark.

[@us24575]

How long does it burn for before the torch loses its upright stand?

[@markbailey2981]

Hi G P, I hope you are having a nice weekend. Sorry for the late reply, I have been commuting to Wales for work. They burn for a good while before they start to tip a bit. You can keep them going pretty much to the bottom if nurse them a little. Sometimes you may have to turn them if it is windy on to stop it burning unevenly. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, all the best, Mark :)

[@us24575]

Want to see a video with a torch done from properly wet log.

[@kychemclass5850]

Probably easier to just get multiple thick branches and make the "circle" with them - no need to split logs etc.... Have enough in the layer to lower burn-through time.

[@josephdennis7042]

What kind of knife are you using? Make model. Good video by the way!

[@markbailey2981]

Hi Joseph, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. The knife is an LT Wright GNS. Have a great day, all the best, Mark.

GD dude, quit talking about it and start doing it. You can talk and do at the same time right?
