Making a Swedish Torch Log Fire

[@1stcSOLDIER]

This lady is decently skilled - good job miss.

[@BuckMckawtheotherone]

Good job! My wife loves the fire torch to sit by at night during the summer when you want a quiet fire before bedding down.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you, ah lovely cant blame her :)

[@nordicjeff1]

Nice to see young people out in the woods. Very informed u got my sub

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you very much :)

[@JohnSmith-vg5gz]

Canadian Candle !! Good idea !!

[@1stcSOLDIER]

Yes a Swedish torch is also a Canadian candle. Close enough

[@coops9871]

I have to say it's great to see a young female getting out in the woods and doing bushcraft 👌👌👌

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you, appreciate the comment

[@adventuresofedstr5799]

Great job Becky. One thing you can do that will speed up the process is once you have quartered you log, you can use your fixed blade knife to baton away the section you were removing to make the kindling pocket. A little safer and quicker when using smallish rounds. I truly enjoy your demeanor and approach to thriving in the woods

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you for sharing that info! Cheers, means a lot :)

[@bikerbyron]

Great video, thanks for the extra historical info on the swedish fire torch. It's nice to know a bit of the history of how it came about! Be careful with the onions in your dish when feeding Buster, onions are not good for dogs and would hate for him to be unwell! Keep up the good work, looking forward to future vids.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you very much, appreciate it! Take care

[@BigSpirit7]

Good for you for making point about onions and unsuitability to animals Byran 👍

[@Benny_of_DK]

you have a good way to explain how things are made, you also show it in an explanatory way, It is easy to understand, pretty good. 👌👍 It looked like there was one who froze pretty much, hope you didn't get sick after that picnic.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you Benny, appreciate it. Take care

[@kevinten7980]

It is quite impressive to see so much knowledge displayed by someone of so few years. Thank you for sharing your adventures and insights.

[@_samuel_6951]

Outstanding! It's nice to see someone who has been properly schooled on how to use an axe/hatchet.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you :)

[@jonfornwald]

Great demo Becky. You're right, there are several versions of the Swedish torch. Your's was very simple, basic and functional. Thanks for the lesson. Stay warm.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you very much Jon! Take care

[@seanfoley6838]

new to your channel ,total respect for what your doing ,getting out there and being active instead of sat at home on social media ,great vids

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you very much Sean, hope you like my channel :)

[@robertsimmons1264]

Great video again Becks. Safety tips are spot on. Keep on keepin' on.

[@johnh5299]

Thanks for the history lesson Well done

[@id3al26]

Nice to see you grow throw the stages of bush craft even teaching myself good work lady keep up the vids 👍

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you, take care

[@tommygunz8692]

That torch worked awesome....Can’t wait to try that version...I’ve seen other but never this version......Buster is a great dog...He is always just chillin.........Gotta love him........T.Gunz.......

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you very much T.Gunz :) take care buddy

[@prepability3952]

Another great video Becky. We burned these a lot when I was younger. We sometimes used an auger to drill them through and a saw for the cross cuts. A couple of tips to try if you want are that you can put your tinder in from underneath before you light it so it doesn't catch on the feathers going in from the top, or even put the tinder in each half before you lash them together. Keep up the good work lass. ☺

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you, ah awesome! Using an auger is a great idea :) Take care

[@donnance1480]

Hello Becks...there is only one word that I can use to describe this video AND your presentation of it...AWESOME :) Love from the Great Smokey Mountains ~^^^~~^^^^*~~*~

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you Don, means a lot my friend :)

[@carltyson4393]

Really fun video. Thanks for sharing. Looks like Buster was having fun. Always enjoy your work.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you very much Carl

[@neil_castell]

great video, i think if sheltered from the wind it would have burned longer, but you showed how useful it is, ... thanks for sharing,

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you Neil, yeah i agree. Was burning pretty quick because of the wind

[@HeartlandMakesAndOutdoors]

Excellent video my friend, Love the history that goes along with this form of a stand alone cooking and warming torch. Thanks again for sharing and have a blessed week my friend. Dale

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you Dale, glad you liked the video :)

[@colutuber]

Nice job.. And good tips on the health and safety for the hatchet. Loving the channel

[@flon57]

excellent info........ALWAYS SAFETY in the woods, it doesn't keep you as warm as an open fire, but much easier and safer to cook on with a flat service

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you, yes it wasn't as warm as an open fire, definitly wouldn't use a small one in cold conditions

[@kamranfoladi7149]

The most amazing think I have ever learned and I am going to try. Many many thanks Becky.

[@Scotland_my]

Great wee video. You've got some great bushcraft skills there, better than some of the bigger UK KZbinrs. 🤘

[@GirlOutdoors]

Aw thank you!

[@solisoutdoors2219]

Well done presentation of the Swedish Torch, Becky. :-)

[@davidcox2264]

Nicely done Becky.

[@semco72057]

You are so knowledgeable about surviving in the wilderness and have so much to teach others and those who have studied under you must retain so much information also and is able to live in the forest as well. I have not made s Swedish Torch yet, but plan on doing so even though I have lived a long life and didn't get into camping out until last year.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you for your lovely comement Sidney, appreciate it man! Take care :)

[@huntshackwildernessexperie6820]

Good presentation Becky. Get out and camp while you can , you may some get snow there. Here the snow is waist deep and temps. are in the -40's . I'm going to video ice fishing this week and I will have to auger through a meter of ice to get to the water. I hope to have that video up next weekend if your interested. All the very best to you. Paul

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you Paul, wow! Sounds like it's cold out there. Bet that ice fishing will be great fun :) enjoy and take care!

[@mikehopper9516]

Nice one Becky. I haven't tried that one yet. Got to go out and do it right now. Thank you.

[@marcusnilsson9170]

Your channel is awesome. I follow many bushcraft/outdoor type channels and yours is my absolute favourite. Keep up the good work!

[@GirlOutdoors]

aw thank you, means a lot!

[@nevillebailey227]

NICE ONE BECKS....GREAT VID AS ALWAYS...MULTIPLE USE...STOVE...CAMP FIRE...KEEP IT MOVEIN GIRL....

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you very much Neville. Appreciate all your comments :)

[@outdoorniederrhein6724]

Hello Becky, I feel so relaxed during watching your video. This kind of torch is a nice idea for my first winter biwak begin of February. Greetings from Germany Dietmar

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you very much, take care. Danke :)

[@sierradayhiker]

Thanks Becky nice video of you and buster /

[@GAR85120514]

Very nice demo. I enjoy this style of video.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you!

[@cmac1100]

I never seem to remember to try this when I'm out. One of these days though. Good job with your first one Becky!

[@pilgrimcarolee7294]

Thank you for teaching me this great idea! I will look forward to useing it in future

[@3101010]

That worked out very well, I may just have to go out camping again soon and try it myself.

[@MrRickw2008]

Great video loved the history of the torch

[@KSMike1]

Terrific job, and that was the best looking omelet ever! Keep it up! 👍

[@SuperKawaiiChannel]

3:58 I love the dog in the background! Stole the scene!

[@rykerdenver383]

dunno if anyone gives a shit but if you are stoned like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all the new movies and series on Instaflixxer. Been watching with my girlfriend recently xD

[@devinjustus7054]

@Ryker Denver yup, been watching on InstaFlixxer for years myself :)

[@5118eman]

Thanks, a great way to do the torch. I think i will try it your way.

[@johncostello]

Great video and good presentation. I pre-prepare some by drilling two holes with a spade bit. One hole down the centre but not all the way through then one in from the side to meet it. It's almost a rocket stove! I love these fire logs, the flame can be really interesting...

[@brianspencer4220]

Thanks Becki: An impressive demonstration. Glad your not staying out @-5C Brian 78

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you Brian, take care my friend

[@englishwoodsman]

I have just got my self a nice log to try this again looking forward to seeing how long it will burn for

[@sirenkent372]

Real Artwork, Thank You, Love Backy! Warm greetings from Germany Andreas.

[@rvsc2277]

Thank betty for sharing your video, take care from Bobby , Philippines.

[@bushcraftjoe1]

Great job. Haven't try feathering the inside. Love these they put out so much light.

[@rolfsvensson9193]

Nice video as usual Becky ! , the omelett looks so tasty , and it was a good information about the wood stove . Steelwire is better around ( its not burning ) . Thanks anyway . 😋 👍

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank y ou Rolf, take care

[@johnrossSorbie]

Excellent video Becky, if you can drill the log and a drill the other side match together has atove , better getting high on snow give you buzzing feeling

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you :)

[@johnrossSorbie]

@@GirlOutdoors How you getting on with the log have you drill the log with a hand drill

[@cumbriabornbred3690]

Worked a treat. Well done. Omelette looked great :-)

[@1950boots]

Excellent Vid, Becks!

[@hop333]

I wonder how many people get it to work as well as that first time! Nice work.

[@crosscountryoutdoors2472]

I am going to try scratching an x in the ground centered under the torch to draw air in from below. Not so much to make the ground uneven. Great job.

[@davidhopson2004]

Great video Becky of the sweetish torch buster looked like he wanted more. Omelet he enjoyed the way it tasted

[@WoodKnock01]

Awesome vid Becks!!!

[@yanjijay6752]

Awesome torch now how long does it take to burn the entire log down but thnx great idea for camping without a stove.

[@EventyrsorenDenmark]

Hi,Very nice film.You did a great job !!!

[@redwestonbushcraft5807]

I once made some of these with a chain saw. It was ace while I had them... But it wasn't my chainsaw. I'm deffo going to try it this way. Thank you

[@cwalkerize]

Good video Beck's, When I was growing up we called these stump stoves, we would find a stump that the center had rotted out and built the fire in the center same principal only we had let nature do the work :)

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you Charlie, ah nice one!

[@tommyt4062]

Great video becks, it seems to me that you are growing in confidence and I think with this your video's are only getting better and better :-)

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you very much Tommy, means a lot!

[@GruntProof]

thats cool as hell!

[@wildernesslifecraft8180]

Nice video. I have to try this now.

[@Cydsdad]

Well Done Becky !!

[@cdr8.389]

Very cool, Becky! Thank You. 👍

[@dreamthedream7613]

Very nice lol I like all yr video.s Have a great time Thanks to all

[@StoneAgecooking]

Great video

[@relaxingway742]

nice ..... thanks

[@thomasvosburg6926]

Good job, as always

[@URBANPERMACULTURE]

Cool video Becky

[@aatuvaan7563]

No need for carving it hollow. More wood in the candle, more it has fuel to burn. So a 1/2 inch cross cut is more than enough to keep the air flowing for the fire to burn. It also burns a lot longer if you light it from top. Ideal wood for that is dry old pine.

[@tonyfelts1512]

loved the History on it...you do such a great job!

[@tonymartin7927]

Hey from Oklahoma.. thanks I love the swedish torch"

[@wolfgrube]

Very cool presentation. I´m gonna make it today. :) Greetings from Germany

[@papabear9328]

Very nice video!! How long did the torch burn for?

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you, about an hour or more

[@franciscobrenescalderon3868]

Excelente. Saludos desde Costa Rica.

[@HarshmanHills]

They definitely have a place in your knowledge

[@geegnosis8888]

One of the clearer explanations. Thank you. Perhaps you could 'whip' the cordage around the log?

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you very much Gerry, take care :) yeah will have to try that for next time!

[@roelfindoors6767]

I love your vids. You are getting and better at presenting :-)

[@dustindewind3210]

Great video Becky ! Omelet looked yummy ! It looked like you had onion in there,, that’s not really good for Buster tho , so I’m sure his didn’t have any in his😜. I really look forward to your vids,,, please keep em comin . These are great ! Thank you 👍

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you very much Dustin, take care :)

[@pauloffthewall6367]

Great vid great job🏹

[@tonyfelts1512]

Awesome job Becky....your doing very well with the hatchet as well. Maybe on your next one you could use a large piece and carve only 3/4 off the inside, and where you stop you can notch you a grove to the outside for air...kind of like a rocket stove.....Great job, oh it looked cold there...lol

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you Tony, will have to try that next time! Yeah it was pretty chilly aha :) take care

[@Jean.gabriel.warren]

Salut . Très bonne vidéo ( France ) ❤️👍.

[@computer.t.v7799]

GOOD

[@swedmiroswedmiro1352]

The way to recognize a real woods(wo)man is the use of the proper tool for the job. No dodgy battening of the wood but a proper axe to split and shave the wood. Job done in a third of the time which leaves more time to enjoy the food and coffee! I usually bring a length of thin steel wire with two end buts tied to it to be able to make a quick Swedish fire. Also useful to assassinate snorers during the night if need be!

[@ArmageddonAfterparty]

Looks blimmin cold. Windy app says it's gonna freeze sunday to monday, depending whereabouts in the UK you are atm. Take care.

[@ArmageddonAfterparty]

Ah, you're not staying out, good call, if you don't have to, sit at home with a nice cup of coco, nice and warm. However much I like the winter, can't wait for spring.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Yeah it was a chilly one aha! oh really apparently theres meant to be snow all over the UK but never seems to settle too bad...

[@1stcSOLDIER]

Trust me the UK doesn’t get cold. Bushcraft besides it’s main objective as a skill is also to toughen one up.
