Michael's Meanderings - Bushcraft 101 - Making a winter cooking fire

Meandering Michael (http://michaelpealow.blogspot.com) demonstrates one approach for making a cooking fire in the winter.

"I hope you find this video useful. It's my first attempt at making an instructional video and I learned a lot of lessons: prepare a script in advance, take lots of batteries (mine kept freezing in the -35C/-31oF cold), and always ALWAYS clear the snotsicles from your beard before each take (the snotsicles are not actually made out of snot)."

Thanks to Holly of Fort Albany, Ontario for the idea!

where could i get an eskimo parka and what r they called

[yukonfawn]

@MultiCmiller It depends on the style you want, what you want it made out of, and how much you're prepared to pay. Also, there are different types for men and women.

@yukonfawn im trying to get the cheapest pay i can and i appretiate you replying

[yukonfawn]

@MultiCmiller If you can show me an image of the style you'd like, I'll tell you where you can get one. They tend not to be cheap, though. Especially if you want something authentic.

do the dogs carry there own food in there packs?

[yukonfawn]

@17hmr243 When they're pulling sled, their food goes in the sled. In the summer and fall, when we're packing, they carry their food.

Awesome! Wish I could have been there!

make sure to bring a firesteel just in case because they last much longer than matches and are more reliable

@outdoormorel no its bush craft that does not signify it is survivial its the craft of the woods man and a true woods man cares for the inviroment and doesnt wish to cause harm to live tres unneccesarily or leave visale scars on the landscape.

re: lighter reliability. BIC, only brand to buy. They own the good design patent, everything else is a cheap hack.
