No Trace Fire

[@MTwoodsrunner]

Brother you sure do get around!...another excellent installment Gordon...thanks!

[@SurvivalKompass]

Great to see you do too. We owe it to plants and animals to leave as few traces as possible. That's what I call a respectful approach to nature. Thanks for your message!

[@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia]

It's impossible to leave zero trace, but we can always aspire to leave the minimal amount as possible. Thanks for watching.

[@AmyOutdoors]

Thank you so much for sharing this Gordo... so many Aussies don't follow this simple practice and we need more ambassadors like you out there sharing the right way to enjoy the bush 👍

[@NukeFPV]

New sub from "Scotty's Gone Walkabouts" ..... Thanks for the tips Gordon.... Nice to leave no footprint. True respect for the bush 😎

[@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia]

Nice to have you aboard and thanks for the positive feedback. Hope you enjoy the channel.

Yes, Yorkshire Gold. Drinking that myself at present, great tea.

[@iggie1439]

Thanks Gordon, because of you I bought Yorkshire tea and got red & gold. Now don't change tea because I bought 100 of each.

[@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia]

👍 you will just have to have more cups of tea! The Yorkshire Gold is my favourite. Thanks again for watching.

[@W5579]

What a legend. Thanks, Gordon. A spark has ignited. An adventure awaits.

[@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia]

I'm glad it has inspired you to get out and go bush. Thanks so much for watching

[@sanspeur2372]

It’s like having a story read to me as I enjoy a rest in a hammock between the trees.

[@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia]

I hope that is a good thing. Thank you for watching

[@thelazylizardmatt]

G'day Gordon, just a suggestion for putting your water bottle on and off the fire safety, you can use a fish mouth spreader that opens on the inside of the bottle. Worth looking into.

[@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia]

I pretty much use the Pathfinder pot hanger which is exact,y that 90% of the time. I have several of them and they work really well. Can't remember why I was not using it in this video. Thanks for watching.

[@friendlyantz]

Thanks Gordon, your videos taught me so much! Glad you loving Akaroa, what a legendary spot! Cheers, yeeew

[@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia]

I'm glad you are getting some value from the episodes. Akaroa is indeed a beautiful spot and look forward to visiting again. Thanks for watching.

[@justindawson3428]

Good video Gordon. So many people think they need to have a bonfire every time. Glad you mentioned the lack of P's in your fire LOL

[@beroberowinger424]

hahaha, I missread the title of the channel and thought "Ah, another Bushcraft Channel from Austria, I didn´t know by now" :) greetings to Australia from Austria though!

[@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia]

Hello Austria, I would live to visit your beautiful country one day. Thanks for watching

Hey gordo, I was thinkin bout my cook system before I head out for my first trip. I've only got a pathfinder cup and bottle. I wondered whether it gets annoying just having one cup. For example, you'd need to wait for the bottle to fully cool down before chucking it back in your pack, quite a while if you boiled the whole lot and only used a bit for a cuppa. I guess you need to wait for the fire to burn out while you finish it anyway? Seen you use the mini solo set too, is that why?

[@TakeAHikeWithMe]

I really enjoy watching your videos mate I always learn something new that I can use in my own travels. I’m almost ready to do some overnight hiking adventures myself 😁👍🏻

[@Australian_Outdoor_man]

Great content mate . Thank you

[@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia]

You're welcome. Glad you like the channel and thanks for watching.

[@SmithandWesson22A]

Great camera work Gordon. Really enjoying your work, and am going to practice leaving no trace.

[@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia]

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. It's impossible to leave zero trace but we should aspire to leave as minimal trace as possible. Thanks for watching.

[@azhomeboy2000]

That tinder bundle looked like a smoke grenade, good job mate!

[@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia]

👍Cheers. Thanks for watching

[@sprintershepherd4359]

i was taught to distribute the ash and coals , scatter it around and cover up the fire scar , as a concentration of ash and coals could inhibit plants from growing there that otherwise would with less ash and coals in that one spot . . what are other viewers thoughts on my method ? or am I just being pedantic ?

[@jakchap2586]

G'day Gordon, is your backpack the Singi 48 from Fjallraven? If so what's you're opinion of it as I'm looking to buy a backpack for some day hiking and possibly thru-hikes. Cheers.

[@logik1677]

what was the spitting water from mouth thing? tracking how much expended water? or keeping mouth fresh? lol

[@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia]

If you are low on water but you need to cool yourself down without wasting it. You can use this method to conserve water so that you only use the bare minimum to cool yourself as it is more important to have it inside you than outside you. Thanks for watching.

[@obsceneXerror]

Hi Gordon, love your videos. i just wanted to ask what backpack you're using in this video? cheers

[@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia]

The backpack I'm using is a Fjallraven 28 Litre "Singii" pack with added side pockets. It's a great 1-2 day pack and I travel OS with it as my main day hike pack. Thanks for the question and thanks for watching.

[@rogerrodgersen7702]

One of the lessons we taught in Boy Scouts More than 60 years ago was BURN. BASH. BURY long before the Greenies started to bleat about conservation. ❤️🇦🇺❤️🍺🥧🦘. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia]

Fortunately we have moved beyond the bash your tins and bury your rubbish mentality.. Sadly the army in places still does this instead of burning your fuel so there are no unburnt pieces left, refurbishing the fire area so there is no sign and most importantly, taking your rubbish with you, not burying it! The standard of scouting skills in Australia today is low and a far cry from the standard of scouting skills that used to be taught and what I remember. I appreciate the feedback.

[@rogerrodgersen7702]

@@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia 👍👍👍

[@MrWildWales]

Looked ideal that. Nothing worse than blotting the landscape all over the place. We do have a lot of peat in our country though which we need to look out for as in causing an underground fire

[@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia]

Yes peat in your neck of the woods is a dangerous thing when you add fire to the equation. A similar thing occurs here in paperbark country in Northern Australia where the ground itself can burn, particularly in dry swampy country. Thanks for watching.
