Making Fire in the Rain

[@KimberlyGreen]

"All you need is patience." Wise words from a patient man.

[@thomasmusso1147]

And the Kettle just as patient .. waiting it's turn ..

[@Bluebloods7]

And matches.... and an axe. Those don't hurt, lol

[@FnLn55]

A pine stump, 1 match and patience.

[@lothre]

I don't think I fully grasped the meaning of 'tranquility' until I found this channel. So many elements; Erik's voice, the sounds of the rain and nature, the almost ritualistic process of collecting the material for the fire. the satisfaction of the slow progression from smoke and tiny flame to warming fire, and finally the coffee making and enjoyment of it. All of these elements assemble together to create such a serene tranquility. Wonderful to experience on a nice Sunday morning. thank you, Erik.

Holy Moment. Water, Air, Earth, Wood + Fire (and some added coffee).

[@soundingthedeep1]

Brother. I’m sick in bed with a fever, eating noodles and broth and watching this. I feel better already!! Thank you, Erik

[@muniaisworthit]

this is me right now though I have jaundice and quite serious I had a moment to escape

[@pigmentpeddler5811]

In the woods right now following your advice haha

[@ziegenmilch1]

Sunday morning with Erik. Holy moment!

[@dont_delay]

My favourite teacher . Simple but the most pure pleasure in how minimal you need to be to take the time to appreciate nature

[@christinabroadhead3810]

What a beautiful forest. The colours, and the rain so peaceful. Thank you.

[@ewengillies9826]

This is 5 star material ,, 2 thumbs up. Thanks Erik. Bushyboy Oz.

Thank you for a beautiful start in the sunday morning 👍

[@kennethnimb2961]

Endnu engang har du fanget, lige det det handler om, fred, naturen i alt slags vej, og igen et bevis på, at regnvejr har sin charme. Tak Erik, super film

[@trudiswanson9855]

Sound of rain, a cup coffee by your own fire, bright moss greens... very relaxing. Thankyou Erik. 🇭🇲🐞 Qld Australia

[@EventyrsorenDenmark]

Wonderful rainy day in the forest. Thanks.

[@mikaelbjessbo3229]

You are an expert. One Matches.

[@jarikinnunen1718]

Candle and aluminium foil help lot to get start. Kindles on folded foil get rain cover and heat by reflection. Candle is oil in solid form.

[@stiches5803]

Trevlig söndag Erik. Ser ut som du haft en fin regnigt svensk höst dag.

[@achappstube1]

Fat wood. Fire in the rain. Coffee. A film worthy of two thumbs up Erik. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@SuperDannyboy1974]

As always an absolute joy to watch Erik. 😀👍

[@KettleCamping]

We totally agree!

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

Loved the sounds of the rain and the crackle of the fire!

[@thomasmusso1147]

👍👍👍 Well worth a triple thumbs-up 😊. One each for the fire, coffee and last but not least, the share. Thanks Erik!

[@Peterviegal]

So good seeing you up and about again mate. Comfy videos.

[@geezerdude4873]

A doubly Holy Moment--coffee in the autumn woods, the colors, the sound of the rain--and well dressed for the rain.

[@felicityhoyle7020]

I love you videos, they radiate peace.

[@danvanderwoude4446]

The beautiful forest, gentle rain and coffee. One of life’s special moments. Thanks Erik!

[@treklinda1309]

You lit the fire with one match.. I would have used half of the box. Lol Nice vid as always. Makes me miss home..

[@anndebaldo7381]

Ah...the soothing sound of rain and a crackling fire...lovely fragrance of pine...and coffee...what could be better? thanks...

[@Radoslaw731]

Another great Video 👍 thanks Eric

[@paularuotsalainen979]

Enormt fin och imponerande instruktionsvideo om användning av tjärved! Älskar den intensiva grönskan av en våt granskog. Skägglaven var så vacker. Tusen tack, Erik 😍

[@johnpaech2785]

That was one hard earned cup of coffee, enjoyed all the more for it i would say.

[@bentusi77]

dissolving from bonfire to rain puddle was a nice touch in editing. yet another artistic piece.

[@clivenewton7609]

That is by far the most impressive fire lighting skill and Holy coffee moment you have ever brought to us! Much appreciated from deepest Dorset 👍

[@rickkearn7100]

I was just thinking that whenever Erik goes into the wild he is always accompanied by one of his best friends: that grizzled old coffee pot. They've seen some mileage together, eh?

[@cowboy6591]

WOW this one snuck up on me without notice!!! What a pleasant way to end a weekend, The sound quality really stood out on this Erik. It brought me back to some of my fondest memories. Ya that fat wood will burn every time.

[@gennarocamper]

deine Waldabenteuer sind immer so wunderbar und inspirierend schön. Danke dafür

[@vollmond5318]

Incredible! Ohne of your best videos ever. In this kind of rain I would never have considered to light a fire. But you did it - and succeeded!

[@erik_normark]

Thank you :)

[@ciaranmcguckinhasfun4334]

I love these videos so much! You have no idea. Thanks Erik.

[@erik_normark]

Good to hear that :) Thanks

[@RobboElRobbo]

if you bring a ferro rod you dont have to worry about it getting wet. also cotton balls + vaseline (petroleum jelly) is excellent fire starter

[@Swedwoods]

Beautiful as ever!

[@brendaf3132]

Ah, the pleasure of a cup of strong fresh coffee on a rainy day.

Great demo of starting a fire in the rain. Something everyone should learn Beautiful forest and with the rain… looks vibrant Take care 🇨🇦❤️🍁🍂🔥

Thanks for the upload 👍Scotland can be really wet even in summer i use a ferro rod, magnesium rod, and rubber bike tube ps i carry matches too

What was the snack you were enjoying with your coffee at 11:23?

[@asmith7876]

Great job on the fire in the rain! Love it! It seems no one is immune to the fact that the smoke will always head straight for the camera lens 😂. I’ll point TheOutdoorGearReview guy to your channel so he can see that Trangia kettles are ok to use on a fire.😅

[@epologies]

very fun, feel like joining there

[@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism]

0:23 - Spruce. "Pine" is a word, often used in place of "evergreen" like as was used here, but it's actually a spruce stump. He's in a stand of spruce so a pine would be out of place here, but the remaining trunk appearance is enough to tell, as well as the wood type when he splits it. It splits and slivers off a little differently from pine as well.

[@eugenebatstone5658]

Som sædvanligt meget inspirerende. Der skal ikke så meget til for at få en fin naturoplevelse. Vi må ikke tænde bål i skoven i Danmark. Men der er dem, der gør det alligevel ...

Why do you use matches? Butane lighters seem more weatherproof.
