got stuck in the mountain with my jeep last weekend. Sat there and was like what would Lars do? build a Siberian log fire and make tea, so I did. it was a great time. I do keep a quarter of my camping/hiking gear with me at all times. thanks very much Lars for all your information you share.

"Just caught myself sitting and watching the camp TV there" That is a savage expression Lars. (Savage = the Irish version of awesome) I think in this age of technological over reliance where people are disconnected from nature literally and figuratively, they can't see the woods because the trees are blocking their Wi-Fi signal :D , that statement you made is a nugget of pure wisdom. If only more people could get out there and appreciate the camp TV and live in the now! Great video, have a good weekend. :)

Couldn't agree more. And while you're at it, listen to camp radio. I can't tell you how many times I've passed or been passed by hikers with ear buds blasting some godawful commercial pop (loaded with sugar, transfats, and salt) while all around them are birds, frogs, running water, the wind - the music of the wild. Unplug, for god's sake - join the real world for a while! (BTW, I'm in New England, USA)

That view of the snowy forest was just what I needed. Where I live now, we're having temperatures of about +15 C, and it's been raining nearly non-stop for a week. This video brought back memories of my childhood, playing in the snow in the Schwartzwald east of Leipzig with my friends. In many ways, I do miss the snow. Oh, about the Snowshoe Hares - many people don't know that these creatures inhabit forested areas across the entire Northern Hemisphere, not just in the USA and Canada.

There was a man and his family driving cross country. Long story short they got stranded on the road in deep snow he went looking for help and died of exposure. His wife and daughter survived in the car and were rescued.

11:34 I'm seeing ashes falling down between the two main logs. Question: to minimize the gap between the two main logs, suppose the fire were built ONLY laying kindling and larger logs Lengthwise, parallel to the two main logs. Well the first stacking between the logs then some cross hatch on the very top to get the fire started, but the main bed of logs parallel to the two main logs. This places long raw wood lengthwise between the logs in the crack. Slows the airflow and fire between the two main logs, making for slower decomposition of the main logs. Yes maybe slightly smaller, slower fire, but a more sustained bed of ashes and embers. Anyway I'm interested, and wonder what your thoughts might be, or maybe you get a chance to try and compare the way shown, and maybe the way proposed. Always enjoy your videos. Regards. 11:44 you could push a small log into that opening shown, and it would reduce airflow, and collect and support ashes, and keep the fire high and hot, as opposed to falling apart. It would further burn more of the main logs above the three logs(the two main and the one inserted) Anyway, your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
