Here's a very simple way to create a fire from a single log perfect for cooking, or just long-lasting warmth.

Based on this article: http://www.ehow.com/how_5044912_make-swedish-log-candle.html

Song: The Decemberists - Sporting Life

Shot with:
Camera: Canon T2i (550D)
Lens: Canon 50mm 1.4
Mic: Azden SMX-10
Firmware: Magic Lantern
Note: The noise you hear in the background when I'm talking is because I didn't properly set the volume gain in Magic Lantern. Hopefully I'll get it right by my next video.

  • question which camera what lens and what sort of post procesing.

  • @slayyou answer: Canon T2i (550D), Canon 50mm f1.4 USM, Edited in Premiere Elements

  • how long did that thing burn

  • @M1LERTYME if I remember correctly, 2-3 hours. It's not a very intense fire, especially for multiple people, but it will burn for a long time.

  • Thumbs up for the Decemberists!

  • I live in Sweden, have all my life, and I have, never, seen one of these in my entire life.

    Oh well :)

  • if you cut it all the way thru you can get mutch more air in and then use something to wrap it up after it caught on fire. that way it will light mutch faster

  • @frosty883 Nothing beat a Stihl. :)
