Excellent Vid! I normally use the tepee method, but tried this type a few days ago, and was very impressed. Within five minutes the flame was up and roaring. Thanks.

5:43 "...as you can see once you get the first little FART lit the rest of it lights by its self." #lol

The point of a Log cabin fire is that it burns longer, and it burns like a candle, so you start the fire from the top, you need to build a mini Teepee style fire on top of the thing...

[gnomehater63]

what king of wood was that?

[goingprepared]

@gnomehater63 Random stuff from my yard, so probably some walnut, pecan, and maple.

@goingprepared Some people would shoot you (not literally.. figuratively) for using that stuff just to burn.  Lol.

my first thought while watching this was: is there anyone out there who really needs to spend 6 minutes watching how to do something as unbelievably simple as taking a match and lighting some wood for a fire,,,, and then I am thinking yes probably is someone does need to watch this guy light a fire with his cottonballs and log cabin method than it should probably be even longer because they must be really thick in the head!

What knife was that?

This is a good way to start a fire it is the same method i used to burn down my school in'87 :-)

A campfire not a forestfire, good modo.

[danielpeters101]

why don't you use petrol and a lighter it get it lit much faster than your meth od and you don't need to use a lot of petrol to get it going just a drop will do and a sheet of newspaper

He could also use a flamethrower.

You sir, have completely missed the point of this sort of video.

[lucky7biker]

nice method of making your fire but I think that your sweedish fire steel is the best but scriping it with a knife is not good because you might dill the blade and its not very good for the knife, Good Vid tho

[goingprepared]

I definitely agree, which is why I used the spine (back) of the knife.

[xXhighwolfXx]

train lol. nice video

[goingprepared]

Depends on what kind of wood you use and what you mean by staying lit. The one I built would probably have a flame coming off it for a good 30 minutes if I didn't add any more wood, plus it would smolder for a good while longer.

[silvertondevil12]

how long that shit stay light with out any more wood

[tylermanchesteruntd]

i always used to call this design the "oven" style fire... rather than "cabin"

[robinkoeman]

Good video!

You could also try wrapping a piece of cotton on a small stick, which makes it a little easier to get the fire into the pit. 5/5
