The teepee fire is great because it lights fast (put kindling in the middle) and burns clean, with minimal smoke, even if the wood isn’t completely dry. And once you’ve established a fire this way and it burns down to hot coals you can stack more wood on them however you want.

I don't like the 'log cabin' fire at all. You are basiclly burning all your fuel at once! To high of heat and way to short of a burn time! Just a complete waste when there are literally sooo many other _better_ ways to build a fire!! And someone else's method of 'putting bigger logs underneath,' yes, this is a different type of fire! So you are not building a 'log cabin' anymore, you are building a better, more practical type of fire!!

You'd be better off making a tripod by lashing 3 sturdy sticks together to hang it from. Just gotta make sure that they don't get too close to the fire. 5ft lengths usually work fine. Fire structure does not matter for cooking. Log cabin really is just used because it looks good in a social setting or for it you need it to start warm since it will burn for awhile.

Yeah thought that too. Although you could say, that he's only talking about the type of fire itself and that you could put any of these fires into a pit to protect it from wind and focus it's heat, to be fair.

I have 2 large fireplaces in my home thankfully. So I have tried all of these inside before so I learned what works best with different woods. Knowing what kind of wood is common in your area helps dictate what might work best outside when you need a fire.

The Dutch oven remains the most popular.

Log cabin is the best fire you start with the smaller stuff and build a small log cabin with dry kindling, and then a bigger cabin not necessarily square, but with hexagon shape, making it a little bigger around each smaller stack. The smaller stuff in the middle will start easier and radiate out to the bigger stuff to make even the wet firewood burn quicker and start easier and you just keep adding to your fire

There is also the "cross fire." Basically you take 2 boards, form a cross, then burn it in the hood. It doesn't burn for long, but it's a great way to gather a sizeable group of people in a short amount of time. Please Note: Many who show up (including the cops) will probably be armed, hence the phrase "crossfire."

Thanks for the fine tuning of camp fires. Gotta go! My boss said if I don't get busy he's gonna show me another type of fire.

Wow, Nate, this is invaluable information. Thank you for showing us the different approaches of making campfires. Have a blessed and Merry Christmas! ❤️🙏😇☃️❤️

If all you got is wet wood, swedish torch comes in handy to get a fire going, keep it going, and drying out wet wood you place around it like a log cabin, so when the torch is almost done, set your now dryer wood on it and continue to burn and dry. Exhausting but fire.

I do a log cabin/ top-down fire. The actual start of the logs is solid layers of logs for the bottom 2/3rds, then smaller logs set in log cabin style with the fire starting in the top third of the stack. Starts off kinda well and then burns down through "solid" layers and burns for a while. Also useful for windy areas you should have a windbreak. Just some 2 inch pointed logs driven into the ground behind the fire really close together with some still green branches outside of that. Helps slow the wind.

My go to is the lean-to, but I start my kindling with a log cabin

I always appreciate your content. Thank you! Enjoy your channel!

This is basically my common behaviour in survival games when I forgot where I put my camp,then realize that I placed them closer than I thought

one of the best instructional videos I've seen in a long time

Good to know all these fire types. Thanks…

If its super cold and the snow is taking the heat from your fire, the log Cabin fire works the best, I have used this at -40F in Alaska.

His logic of asking everyone if you know them would make sense if you could remember everyone you ever met.

my personal favirote is combining the log cabin and the tipi fire, you make a short log cabin stack then build a tipi around it, it keeps the tipi more steady and helps to increase the duration of the fire

People who actually camped in mountains know that it's not about how long the fire lasts, but how easily it can catch on fire with humidity, lack of oxygen, lack of adequate wood pieces and more. Those tips are great at sea level, above that, you'll go for the most flammable structure.

Thanks, Nate! Very important info!

"Canadian Candle" is what really set Pewdiepie off on the bridge.

This is amazing, you managed to show "all the fires" except for the most common and useful one: the parallel fire.

Thank you, especially for the details on how long each campfire burns. Instant sub!

I used the lean to fire all the time for survival/ get it burning as fast as possible and using zero to no accelerant. It works great to just find a decent-sized tree that fell and use the end or hack a log off. Then just gather about 3 to 5 different sizes of sticks/twigs. I use tiny little dry dead twigs up off the ground to get it going then go in ascending order from there. It works great to get going in a pinch and get a decent bit of heat from. Also works well in wet conditions

Very cool. I was taught tipi and log cabin styles growing up. Very helpful to see other structures for different purposes! Memorizing these now.. Thanks CP!! 😄

pine needles can smolder and fire breaks out feet away

The teepee is much more useful than what is shown. It catches very quickly and can be made to whatever size you want. You can make a small one by using twigs/tinder which can be put in the center of a log cabin structure to quickly and easily light the larger wood around it. What's really fun is to make a 3ft teepee (approximately) and then build a larger log cabin structure around it. You'd just need to make sure that you leave a spot where you can get to the center to light it.

The top down fire is the best, makes the most sense, making long lasting coals!

Double Siberian log fire! … or maybe referred to as the -50 fire 😂

The log cabin! That's my go to. Great for wet weather.

I feel that the star fire is good for cooking and the top-down fire is good for staying warm for long.

Top down fire has been a game changer. Everyone I show is amazed by the easiness and longevity.

My step dad taught me these when we went camping! All of us kids had to hunt for kindling. It was fun! 😊

I've tried all of them and he is right depending on wood type and dryness.

Start with the easiest to start and then build the one you really want for your situation.

Lean-to was always my favorite to build. It never failed me.

Log cabin is the best way to get a hot fire going quickly, I usually set one up under the edge of a brush pile so the wind will blow the flames into the pile to dry it out and it ends up burning the pile pretty quickly, even if it's not very dry.

My favorite is the pile fire just place abunch of sticks in a pile and light it its last as long as how much you pile and is quick and easy to under stand no complex stacking just a pile of fire

My personal favorite is called the pile. All you have to do is through wood in a small to large pile and light it then maintain it. Boom step for a all nighter

Very informative. Never thought about the different possibilities for building a fire.

The best type of camp fire is a self feeding camp fire. To this you take four poles that have been sharpen on one end and insert them into the ground at an angle. You then place 5-6 logs on either side the fire pit. Place pile of tender in-between the bottom 2 logs and light it. As burns the logs will roll into the pit essentially feeding the fire without you having to do anything. This type of camp fire was used by our pioneer ancestors from 18th and 19th centuries. If anyone was a survival expert they sure were, because they learned from ultimate masters of survival the Native American People.

don't forgot the long log fire it's we're you take two logs and put them parallel to each other and stuff smaller twigs in the middle of the two logs and you light a fire at each end and the middle or how ever big you have it you can make it a long as your body this fire can last you all night and keep you warm

Log cabin fire and a small Canadian candle together would be a good combination

Beautiful demonstration of them all!! Great work!!

I do the cabin fire because it's the best I found that works during a windy day it allows for wind to feed oxygen into the fire but not put it out.

Don’t forget about the soul camp fire which you could use soul sand or soul soil to make

If you have cut the logs properly flat on one side, a canadian candle is very suitable for cooking with a pot/ pan without the need of a tripod.

Best fire i used is the self refueling fire. Easy to make and rolls the logs down into the fire without spreading up to the reservoir logs.

Log cabin aal the way! I prefer to do it using three or even for pieces of wood per layer. Doing it this way will make it easier to lighting and burn longer. If you want to be fancy about it you can light it from the top. This does minimise smoke and pollution.

There is also one by digging two holes and connecting them by a smaller hole. One hole you build the fire, and the other hole adds air.

Take one more - for a Canadian you don't actually need a log. I you haven't one you can just collect branches and stuck them together to form a kind of cylinder and tie them up with rope/wire/plastic bag. Put thin branches inside and thick from the outside. If you haven't anything to tie branches / just stick them in the earth vertically. You can use it in the same way as Canadian Log but it will burn much faster.

! I've seen a Swedish Torch a great many times... First time I've seen it called a "Canadian Candle."

Never heard of the lean to fire, big tips on this video thanks man

In our wood heater I do the cabin fire with logs on top, that fall on those coals. Put a little bit of a green piece in there, burns forever.

The lean-to fire works great in high wind conditions!

“Fire is chaos!” No need for all those types. If you are in a survival situation, you need to get the damn thing started. Period!

My fires consist of a combination of all of these. Beautiful chaos
