The 'Upside-down Fire' - Survival Campfire Build

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Great explanation of how and why to build an "upside down" fire lay. Thanks Alfie.

[@TheHazza118]

Yes Brian, let's get some vids like that on you're channel!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I'm working on it ;-)

[@zstick]

Survival On Purpose Well, spread the word about Alfie, because all the prepper/bushcraft channels on KZbin need to take editing classes from him. Short, concise videos will get thousands more views than long-winded improv vids.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I try, I really do ;-)

[@zstick]

Survival On Purpose You do a good job. I've seen some of your vids and I'm a fan. Keep up the good work.

[@thecriticalcriticshow9673]

Loving this channel man, professionally edited, educational, funny, good length, I have NOTHING negative ;) amazing job man

[@garkeinen7034]

He could have left more leeway for a better airflow but that's all I can find ;) Got to love Alfies content!

[@funkyprepper]

never fails bro done it a few times now 100% success

[@harrisonking8156]

Hey funky! Man, all the British preppers/bushcrafters seem to know each other in one way or another xD Small world!

[@ArtofFreeSpeech]

You are, IMO, undoubtedly, the king of humorous survival vids. Keep it up! Love the content, the attitude, and the laughs!

[@johnsmyth6283]

Art of Free Speech just!

[@Allanvre]

This guy not only teaches me, but he cracks me up. Keep it comin' Alfie, I'm gonna put this shit to the test.

[@johngo6283]

I appreciate how your videos are short, sweet, and to the point. All these other KZbinYappers take 10+ minutes to see what they could in about two or three. Thank you for being concise, please keep it up.

[@trevorfielding7910]

Concise, funny, informative, things that are often lacking in the usual survival vids on the tube.

[@latentspacex]

your narration is hilarious, very educative and entertaining at the same time!

[@budgetsurvivaluk9790]

looks like a good idea to get rid of damp wood at this time of year and its a good way to burn damp wood too and to keep our forests nice and tidy I am slowly getting into this bush craft stuff

[@snsproaudio]

This is the method I always use while camping and backpacking....It never fails to make a great fire.!

[@danielmurray2661]

The best commentary for building a fire! I love it; just great! And very educational!

[@mathiaseriksen9213]

you uploaded this video on my birthday! Best present ever mate!

[@mathiaseriksen9213]

Thanks a lot mate! :D

[@cynthiamayfield5664]

That's really clever! I don't even really like outdoor activities but your channel is making me want to get out and do some hiking. I'm definitely going to have to try this.

[@yahert099103913]

Alfie your videos are beast bro! Accent is pleasurable on the ears, great accentuation to the informative banter. Its rather strange how similar you appear to me in your vids. Happy campin mate

[@WalkWild]

Nice video man. Upside down fires are the best. Especially in the snow!

[@SirThunderPants]

Alphie.. You continue to not suck. Keep 'em coming.

[@TechOutsider]

You are one entertaining and knowledgeable dude. Every video has something new with a quick whit. Appreciate the efforts and look forward to the next.

[@doberman74]

Word Up Homie.... That lake in the valley basin looks a lush place like

[@BrianWest58]

Best delivery of info in the Tubiverse!

[@TrollViolater369]

Holy crap thats a beautiful place. 0:26 Where is that?

[@EllePlowPlow]

Danechamp was wondering the same thing.

[@bmar400]

England... lol (jk)

[@HikingFeral]

Load of places like that in England if you know where to look

[@ltxoutdoors4097]

Alfie!! I bet you have your drinks at the local pub with Jason Statham and Vinnie Jones !! Great fire doh !! love it !!

[@JamieHitt]

Alfie, seriously bro, you've got to make more videos, more often. We'll get a kick starter campaign going for you a film crew or something...lol. How much would a bushcraft/survival school pay to have you as an instructor? Big fan here, keep up the great work!

[@pnyarrow]

Excellent vid in all respects. Short sharp and to the point. A please to watch and learn from. Cheers Alfie.

[@oskartzon]

Your aesthetics has inspired a city boy to go innawoods. Let's hope that I don't get too goofed too quickly. Cheers!

[@stevesmith8854]

Man I gotta try this! Beautiful fire and woodland.

[@gabebryson8924]

Dude I love your vids im in canada and where I am im supposed to have an earthquake in the 50 years so im prepared now thanks to you your awsome gg

[@gabebryson8924]

YOU REPLLYED LIFE IS ACOMPLESHID but yeah I live on an island so im kinda screwed but then I watched your video

[@doctorbea]

As if it wasn't already good information, your pithy annotation, sprinkled with cleverness and wit, takes the presentation to an entirely different level. Your presentation is 5 stars, brother. I don't care what anyone says about you Brits, you're alright :) Cheers

[@zstick]

doctorbea *bruvvah There, fixed that for you.

[@doctorbea]

Fanks, bruvah!

[@Akira_Rei]

Keep up the fine work Alfie, your videos give me really useful information for preparedness.

[@thecriticalcriticshow9673]

Man you're lucky to live where you do, in the northern states the snow JUST melted yesterday

[@johnellis7971]

This was great even in warm weather. Using soggy wood found along a river was no problem with this arrangement. A few minutes of preparation resulted in a fire that burned all evening with very little maintenance.

[@jan_bsk3087]

actually i didnt care about this video but i still hit the like button cause youre my favourite survival guy on youtube (nohomo) :D greetings from germany

[@damianwantstoplay9540]

I like the way you touch wood edit: KEEP IT COMIN BRO

[@chrisrodley8126]

I swear you are the best guy for this funny entertaining survival vids keep um up !

[@paulhenry7122]

[@Imz64]

This channel is underrated

[@Thelastoftheprimes]

Another great vid! You're hands down my favorite KZbinr. Are there any channels you'd recommend that you find even slightly as entertaining and informative as yours?

[@Hmmm4688]

You're awesome dude! Thanks from America

[@wess6658]

Right proper KZbin vid... good game, well played!

[@fayazhazrat4213]

Your vids r the best keep it up i love ur chanel i evan watch in my spare time!!!!!!!

[@dougthompson5586]

i`ve been camping for 50 years .. I never thought about that b4..good ideal..do one how to make a sling shot

[@ben315to405thenstop]

this guy is my hero

[@19adu96]

You're a little bit like filthy frank or how to basic in bushcraft. And thats why your vids are so awesome. Mostly there isn't a lot of humor in bushcraft videos. And thats what makes you awesome. autism(in a good way)+ bushcraft or survival= best yt vids ever. Love your work and keep it that way

[@MrWezzzz]

Looks a good Mate I'm out this weekend and will try this cheers for the vid shame it was only a cpl mins though as your videos are great mate keep them coming tc and ATB

[@theprepperfrog167]

Pretty damn rare i see firewood being smacked to rough pieces: real life, no chee-chee. Thank you sir, more than 3 years later!

[@TurtleBushcraft]

nice video on the upside down fire thanks for sharing atb John

[@EatCarbs]

Nice.. very cool A nice chill fire. Great stuff bro

[@jake-watkins]

I love these. You have a new fan. rock on!

[@TedsOutdoors]

Another great video! Keep them coming.

[@school4work]

Simple and effective, great video, very laid back:

[@Jakeunderthemountain]

Hey Alfie, whenever i'm out in the sticks, during the summer anyways, there is a lot of ticks, crawling up my shorts and or trousers, and in my hair. Any tick repellent you would recommend? (I live in Massachusetts, US)

[@Jakeunderthemountain]

AlfieAesthetics Its alright, thanks for the help, man.

[@srspower]

I love the upside down fire concept, but as you say it's not going to be easy to boil water and cook food on one! I guess in a camping situation you'd be better off quickly lighting a small fire for cooking, maybe a Dakota fire pit? And then whilst it dies down creating embers to cook on you build the upside down fire to keep you warm through the night :)

[@Tja-oz8bj]

Bring a stove

[@krisdouglas6536]

Another fantastic vid, cheers bud. Quick one for you though, if i was setting up camp a bit later and wanted to make this so it would burn for a while into the night how would i cook also on it ? I mean i take it you would want to hold off as long as possible before lighting something like this so it burned more into the night yeah ? Cheers matey

[@ItsMrxSean]

You do a lot in the woods, but I haven't seen much in the tundra or any other cold biome. Either way, very nice information and it's presented well. Thumbs up.

[@AlfieAesthetics]

The nearest tundra is across the sea and 1,500 miles away!

[@ItsMrxSean]

Very good point! It was just an extreme, I'm just asking because some of the winters get pretty intense where I live.

[@dennissmith7641]

Alfie your vids kick ass! I love em!!

[@lukesurvival]

Yet another awesome video!

[@nathanbuckley1865]

Thanks alfie for the inspiration

[@chewbarker110]

Great vid going to try this on my next camp

[@christopherlambert7623]

Alfie bro loves ya bids no fxxxxxg about straight to the point and fun. LAMBCHOP

[@gooberkiss]

OK, a few things, if you rub dirt between the wood, it will burn hotter and longer. I would further suggest that you break your wood between trees that are close together to avoid injuries to eyes and other areas. For your consideration.

[@moderator_sanchez]

thats realy great work, dude, you are awesome)) really nice jokes and humor) just caught myself crying on "blair witch totem". cheers from Russia! keep on that way, tovarisch!))

[@moderator_sanchez]

edit: "shrine"

[@einarhavsteen-mikkelsen9290]

when? where? do you go out in the woods. I love the nature, but I can never be alone when I go out in wild, there is always people wondering, why I am running naked around in the forrest. so how far do you travel to find such lovely places as you do. you are a wonderful natureboy.(Sorry for English I am a Dane)

[@meahatyahoocom]

Great as always Alfie :)

[@KelcIzahoe]

Adding some dirt in the cracks in between layers will make the fire last even longer!

[@anima_mundi0919]

Damn I love this channel, what a genius man lol

[@bushcraftwizard465]

Thanks for uploading another cool vid keep'em coming

[@wasolop]

That woods your in is amazing! Where abouts is it?

[@prizepig]

Love the channel! Keep em' coming!

[@TheOne-vz4ps]

Best KZbinr Ever m8

[@Woodlouse1704]

Hey Alfie, I use a ferro-rod to start fires when out in the sticks, but usually struggle to find a good 'nest' material because of how wet everything it is, even things that are standing. I'm in North Yorkshire, and around this time of year most of my local woodland is pretty swampy/boggy, so finding anything dry to take flame from an ember is a nightmare. Any tips on good tinder sources?

[@chipsachoy99]

innovative alfie

[@dutchsurvivaloutdoors2612]

You could cook on that. Just make a tri pod. Hang the pot over the fire, good game, well played

[@johnsmyth6283]

Love it mate!

[@jimmywalker1568]

Good start for a wild fire would you say

[@Jaypertrophy]

Hey Alfie, Awesome wet weather fire method. I know this question has no relation to this particular video, but what shovel do you use? I have watched you dig Dakota Fire Holes with it and looks like a great piece of compact gear. A reply would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[@KearlHat]

Brilliant!

[@TimLewallen]

Fire for days!

[@thabood]

Does it work with green wood!? I've felled some small trees on a landscaping job and want to use the timber

[@Huntergirlsp]

ALFIES BAAAACKKKKK :D btw im gonna get your knife now hopefully, thanks to your video!

[@memy9687]

EXCELLENT VID

[@benc640]

Are you in Scotland? 0:32 looks incredible

[@MadDogSurvival]

Which woodland do you "opperate" in Alfie? Do you own any woodland of your own? Just asking as i was woundering about permision type issues of practicing bushcraft? Love your vids mate, you should do a T.V show man, so cool 👍👍

[@lawsonstab]

Yo alfie, any chance you could make a video on identifying common uk conifers. Found the mother load of fat wood on one today but am unsure what it specifically is. They can be buggers sometimes. Cheers -lawson

[@addokittokautama1979]

Dear kind sir, please make more videos, the world benefits from it

[@Monster0beast]

Can you make a vid on how you made a bail handle on your cookware

[@jaskey]

Is it also less smoky than the usually ground fire or is that just the angle?

[@SamuelGrog]

alfie i have a question, how was the mil-tec 35 litre backpack ? why did you change it?, was it confortable?. Thx m8 i just need some help.

[@SamuelGrog]

AlfieAesthetics thx bro, btw nice vid.

[@peterandrews1512]

Quality Alfie

[@wotchermuggle]

Haha...shrine to the Blair Witch 😝

[@philstoker8627]

What is the best wood to use with a bow drill?

[@Crazytrainkid]

Thanks!

[@NipperWinkle]

What camera do you use, and how much does it cost?

[@fracturedbynature5408]

Yo Alfie!!! Hey man, I just found your channel. Great content, I think, as I love the outdoors, camping and what not. I hope to see more of your vids in the future. Btw, love the hat. :)

[@AlexEberhard]

AlfieAesthetics what gloves do you use?? Great videos man

[@yungtrigz]

Dude you're so funny - a fan

[@stewartbright6071]

You're a god!

[@ACExJaggs]

When's the next camp aesthetics video?

[@AlfieAesthetics]

In the midst of glorious Spring perhaps!

[@TeoMaragakis]

Oi oi guvenah, where's that beautiful spot at 0:26?

[@livingsurvival]

GG WP AF

[@davidbutler1825]

Well. . . I guess I'm not one of the cool people, because I don't have a clue what you mean. That's probably OK with you, though.

[@josephpie2000]

Were do you live in the uk ??? / were do you normally go camping

[@DollarDown]

Good stuff
