Upside down fire The best fire you'll

[Gamecrusher2424]

Buddy your at a camp site with a fire ring with wood you bought from a store what a joke and a waste of wood

[mcconnell51]

lets see ya try that with damp wood in the dead of winter in the middle of nowhere

[zajebaosve]

OK, but blablablablablaaaa

[fout97]

who on hell reads books when camping most normal people go fishing or hiking when camping or just sit around and drink an ice cold beer

[aromellc]

Mad props!

"the best fire you'll"

wat the fuck rednecks wat the fuck

[oakmaster85]

You save wood because it burns down on its self. The flames dont lick at the wood under the coals as they would if you added logs to the top. I started doing this in my wood stove and have saved on wood and have had successful night burns

@oakmaster85

Sounds good. I'll try it out at home some time :)

[069gypsy]

i camp in the wilds of scotland and best fire my arse.

[finalsolution14]

haha! refreshing! you didn't try to look "survivalish' by using flint & steel !

[wtinnen]

I didn't see where he said it saved wood. That isn't one of the many advantages of this fire. I've been building fires for 25+ years and learned this technique last year from Paul Schieder from Hedge Hog Leatherworks. I will never go back to the old way. The biggest advantages are: that you never have to mess with it, it burns consistent, and the biggest advantage is that you can even burn wet wood by placing them on the bottom.

I don't see how this "saves" wood? When I build campfires the traditional way(starting with kindling first, then building up) I only use 2-3 large logs every hour, and that's for a decent sized fire for heat, cooking is less and mainly coals.

With this fire, you're blowing a fat load so to speak, you're stacking what 12+ logs, and if it's decent wood, that could all burn quickly if there's some wind.

I don't think this saves wood, I think it wastes it.

[wtinnen]

@staphinfection Try it before passing judgement.

[mike1234567ify]

@staphinfection the point of this isn't to save wood, its to keep a fire going while you walk away for a few hours and come back without adding wood to the fire

[micmoable]

I like the drum or container with the bars on the back side--could cook meat or heat a pot on those bars

[norsco272]

Now why haven't I ever thought of this! Cool idea :)

[DiaShanti]

He means it's upside down because the tiny starter wood, twigs, leaves, tissue are on top instead of the bottom. I'll have to try this.

[dendog21]

looks to me like a right side up pyramid

[DSMANDARIN]

@dendog21 this guy wouldn't know fire from water.... at least he knew it was a pyramid sitting in some direction. Give him a gold star for trying. 

[dendog21]

nothing like store bought wood

[MrNativeDancer]

This is a great way to build a fire! It saves fuel because you use a lot less wood then a normal conventional fire. This burns a lot longer and is great for hanging a cooking pot on a tripod. Plus you dont have to keep adding more wood. Done properly it will burn all night long from just a few kilos of wood.

[boritomc]

thanks for the vid, i never thought about making a fire that way. but i guess that only works if you got really dry wood?

[xMrjamjam]

when your blowing on a fire dont bllow directly dowwnwards onto it that can put the fire out

get your head a low down as you can and gently blow onto it slowly picking up speed on your blowing

[BornRandy62]

these are generally made with larger timber. you build a empty box at the bottom. then layer each level with smaller stuff leaving the center open. Build a small fire at the top and allow it to burn and drop embers into the middle. you end up with a fire inside of the large box at the bottom.

[disillusions]

Cool vid. Thanks for mentioning the various times at which the fire was burning. Will def try this next time I'm out camping.

[yukirito666]

"big wood" lol

"biggest wood you have" lmao

"densest wood you have" ROFLMFAO XD

[chicken4247]

aka self feedind fire

[Uriel1816]

good video.

[stevesmitty79]

Not entirely convinced this is the best fire. I've built a lot of them over the years. I would suggest spacing the stacks a bit more and adding smaller fuel between them. This I believe would expedite combustion. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks for the idea.

[kyledagreat27]

so wait i dont need fire starter and all that u used tissue and receipts? no fatwood and all that crap?

[symtex111]

@jocelynn2007 I have no idea

[jocelynn2007]

what type of wood looks like oak and mesqiute

[oobrianoo]

Forget the fire to keep u warm wen u got a nice laddy like her with u,,,,, wish mine wud cum with me haha. Great vid tho nice work.

[KerrankiSuomee]

@oobrianoo "Cum with me" ?

[symtex111]

You'll be up all night watching it burn, ha.

[partydude111]

I'm going to try this out tonight nice tutorial.

[thornwarbler]

[symtex111]

@thornwarbler thanks
