Winter Bushcraft - Wall of Fire - Surviving Freezing Cold

#bushcraft #camping #survival
Out in snow and ice for some hiking and bushcraft. Been waiting for cold enough weather to try this idea of a long fire. A bit hard to get going but got there eventually. It was so warm I had to move back a bit. First time ever I opened up the sleeping bag in 20 below because I was too hot. Second night I slept out on the ice. Flat ground is heaven for me in this area but when the wind picked up at 5 am I had to get going. It was too cold.
I present my sleep system in this video. Other than that I have a Norwegian mountain pack, biltema pot, ACME cold handle pan, Hultafors Åby axe, Mora Garberg knife, Trangia triangle, Trangia lantern no 83, Lundhags boots, Fjällräven anorak, Hestra work gloves, aklima liners, Bahco sawblade for my bucksaw, light my fire army 2.0 fire steel. Note that the reflective windscreen cover needs to be placed on top of the sleeping pad, directly under the sleeping bag. When I set up the sleep system it looks like I placed it under the sleeping pad. It was just temporary because the wind tried to blow it away when I shot the scene.
Thanks for watching!

Greetings my Brother from Northern Utah in the U.S. It’s 5 in the Morning and the temperature is 2 degrees Fahrenheit (-16.667 degrees C). Fortunately or rather (unfortunately) I’m in a long term heath care facility [Day 116] due to severe fall and subsequent infection. Dr.’s have managed to save the leg so far, but my days of extended hiking and wilderness camping appear to be over. At 71 years old I thought I had a few more years left. We’ll see. Keep on going my Brother-let’s me still get some enjoyment-if only from watching!

[@ericstoever9577]

Never give up!

[@HotRod-wv4vm]

Get well soon.

Prayers for a speedy recovery friend,ALB from Bear River Wyoming!

Sending healing prayers 🙏🙏🙏 hope you get better soon.

[@strongbear9304]

@@BEARivrman81356 Love your area! Usually attend Ft. Bridget Rendezvous. I’m over Logan Canyon and slightly south. And Thank you!

[@williammcdonald4922]

in my opinion you are the leader in capturing the essence of winter. i can feel the cold and the wind even as i sit by my warm wood stove.

[@Swedwoods]

Thank you very much!

Thanks!

[@MichaelAnderson-df2hj]

I have watched literally hundreds if not thousands of survival vids over the last 5 yrs and this vid on building a fire log best illustrates what to do for a long term sustained heat source. Thank you for taking the time and effort to produce this.

[@StephenReid-hk8hs]

I said the same in my comment, have seen thousands of camping videos but had never seen anyone build a fire like that, the simple ideas are the best 👍

[@cheesedude1733]

Loved the Wall of Fire! Could have shown even more footage of rotating the logs and just that wonderful FIRE. Mesmerizing! Your videos are better than medication for blood pressure, I can feel my heart rate lower and get such a deep sense of relaxation. Your channel should get a Seal of Approval from the WHO for therapeutic purposes. As I sit in Kuwait City, I can dream of cold weather sleeping until I get home to the Redwoods! Thank you, my friend.

[@Swedwoods]

Thank you my friend!

[@catherine59226]

I live in Vermont, United States. We own 220 acres of land here. We’re surrounded by the beautiful mountains, trees, lakes and streams. It does get bitterly cold where I live and we get tons of snow. New subscriber here! I’m enjoying your channel. Thank you.

[@chrisbullock9652]

Really great program! As an older man in my 70's I have a whole new appreciation of winter camping in the way you do it. I love the simplicity of your approach in all aspects including your gear. For me the winter has always been a difficult time but this has opened my eyes and heart to see the beauty and magic of this time. Really enjoyed this!!

[@Swedwoods]

Thank you!

[@chuckrf1502]

That beef was so tender, wow! And the spreader bar idea for the poncho shelter, pure genius, my friend.

[@Swedwoods]

Thank you!

[@francdejong]

Deep respect for you. Thank you again for making these video’s and sharing them with us🙏🏼

[@Swedwoods]

Thanks!

[@billparrish4385]

That wall of fire is great! I'll have to try that, next time I'm out where it can be used. Only thing to be careful of is, if using it as a heat source while sleeping, that it doesn't burn through the retaining stakes. Having a pile of burning logs roll into bed with you is certainly one way to prevent you from getting your beauty sleep! 😎 Seriously, having a couple of 'safety stakes' driven between you and it to catch any that might roll can make it safer. Good idea!

[@dyaamajed9639]

My friend, what a beautiful and kind person you are. We adore life for your wonderful presence among us. You are a person who deserves to live on this flat earth. ⚘️❤

[@callalily5952]

The best picture still! It’s amazing how you see beauty in nature!

[@StephenReid-hk8hs]

I watch quite a bit of camping/ hiking videos and have to say that I have never seen anyone build a fire like you have, simple idea but affective, thanks for the idea 👍

[@darilynkrupp6309]

Your videos do not disappoint and this one is no exception. The minimal items you bring means you are not always fussing instead of enjoying your surroundings which I appreciate. Thanks for all the beautiful winter shots, including overhead from the drone. (Glad to see you not limping. Hope your foot is feeling better.)Wish you health, contentment and prosperity in all endeavors for 2024.

[@Swedwoods]

Thank you very much!

[@vaterlandsfreund3993]

Ohh jaaa, hier in old Germany auch nicht so strong cold Winter wie momentan in Sweden.Brrrrr.....

[@jensarndt4693]

Ob wir die minus 24 auch so managen könnten? Vor der Haustür der allermeisten dürfte das leider in Zukunft immer schwieriger werden. Aber das vid hat gerade deshalb einen so hohen Aufforderungscharakter👍

[@Ultrabiwak]

Super movie. I love the sound of the wind in the winter forest. When it's -24 there's no joke. Greetings from Poland, welcome

[@Swedwoods]

Thanks!

[@pjferrari7678]

Agree 100%. Very hard work Swedish people 👌🥶

[@RhinoRider2006]

In Canada we cannot pound stakes into the ground in January, could not pound steel pegs in after November. We have been using the wall method since 2010. It is great to reflect the heat back. Have to maintain a distance of about 10 feet. Do not need to wear gloves or button up our coats. I like your idea of getting the fire going between the logs. We use dead Mistletoe to get the fire going, that stuff is in great abundance in our forest in North Saskatchewan Canada. also agree that dead standing is better for getting going. Thanks for your work.

[@user-ww4wr1eo7p]

Thank you for cold and beautiful video. The impressive scene, Swedwoos is waiting for hitting a fish into the ice hole against the sun. The sun seems a sunflower. That's shining beautifully.

[@asmith7876]

What brutal conditions! I camped out a few nights ago in 11F/-11C to test some gear but I was in the woods near my house, not on a frozen lake! Incredible! Food as always looked delicious. You work that lavvu like no one else. So we have the Siberian log fire, the long fire and now the TALL fire 😂😂😂.

[@kevinkhan4042]

If I ever am lost in the wilderness with someone, forget Bear Grylls... You would be top of my list! LOL! Beautiful video as always my friend!

[@terrym1065]

Hey Swede! That was a chilling experience just watching. Fire wall worked good it seems. No thanks, not sleeping on a frozen lake, frozen sand is bad enough. I knew there would be noodles😋 Nicely done, surprised no electronic malfunctions in this one, happens. Happy 2024, great start. See ya next time.

It's a great clip for this scorching summer! Watching the snow camping makes me feel so cool. If you have time during the camp, I hope you can do some painting or sketching. It was very romantic when I saw it in your previous clip.

[@davebloggs]

I like the car sunshade idea that is very cool

[@hanksbud2544]

Thank you Swedwoods, another great vidio.

[@Swedwoods]

Thanks!

[@Drrayoldman]

Finely...a man smart enough to start a fire before work. Fire, fire, FIRE! I guided in the Bitter Root of western Montana. When I set out to spend a few days glassing game the FIRST thing I dint once a site was chosen was to start a fire. Weather can change in a heartbeat, and gathering wood isn't easy if one is injured. A fire is a life saver. Always get the fire going, then stop when your're ready to call it a day. You'll be glad you did. Forget the primitive fire sticks. A pack of 5 Bic lighters are 1.99!

[@regbillings4955]

Great camping adventure, myself i would have used a few split logs on the second row, you need that lip on the split log face down to catch new flame faster. makes a nicer/hotter fire, always try use a split log if you can, round logs have a hard time burning, no down facing edge :) you also avoid the need for adding sticks to the sides to keep it burning, i made that mistake more than once :) great job man, love this video :)

[@Swedwoods]

Yes ive done split log fires here also but you dont want hotter. You want them to smolder through the night. If you get more than candle size flames you have failed.
