Hello from Interior Alaska! Before the ground freezes (while preparing for real winter) my kids and I would make ‘coal beds’ . You scrape away a few inches of dirt, make a hot fire, let it burn down and spread the coals out evenly. Then cover with dirt about 6”. Sleeping on top keeps you warm all night - sometimes too warm (just add more dirt) On the trapline we had a couple emergency spots with a pile of dirt ready, just in case the ground was frozen. Then make the fire next to the pile, the pile thaws and then it’s easy to push the thawed dirt over the coals. It’s fun for kids too- my daughter was 4 when she made her first one- after that she always made her own! New sub!

Oh come on man. I clearly say that it depends on the thickness of the logs. What is the lint to pick in words?

A Siberian native once taught me how to build a similar, long burning fire. It was basically the same as yours except that he advised to have two fires, one on each side of your sleeping area. Keep them at about an arm's length from you. He said they spent numerous nights at 40 degrees below zero. The fires kept them warm all night. One thing to be aware of though. Be careful sleeping close to a burning fire while wearing synthetic clothing. The synthetic material may burn, melt and stick to your skin thus causing nasty burns. Canvas or cotton outer layers of clothing and sleeping bags are a lot safer.

Though not being an active survivalist, I have recently wondered about the viability of 2 smaller log fires. My idea would be to place them side by side in a V formation, in the hope this might engender a greater heat build up. Added to this, it might be useful to line the fires with, if available, rocks of granite which retain heat longer.

another thing to think is that the fire will burn about 1/2 - 3/4 inch per hour. so a 4 inch wide log will burn 4-6 hours. another thing is to build your long fire with the ends going the way of the wind, so the smoke doesnt cover you.

I like this version over the two stacked log version because that one requires either stakes pounded into the ground (impossible if frozen) or 2 sticks nailed to the top log to prevent the top log from rolling off and burning you in your sleep. In this version, the top log would just fall straight down since the bottom 2 logs would burn on the inside, not the outside. Plus, no carving flat spots on any of the logs, and that also requires an axe. Less weight to pack in, less work = more calories conserved.

@987azza

Жыл бұрын

@Kevin Hart yeah but the guy in the video put rocks around to prevent accidents. Considering the amount of work needed with the 2 log, I'm going with the 3 log here, 100% less effort and great results, if in a life and death situation you may not have the energy or resources to start carving flat surfaces on logs and building stakes to hit into frozen ground.

That’s a great demo of a proper sleeping fire. Couple of points to add; pine logs burn much faster, you need a really decent saw to cut thick hardwood logs, and a shiny reflector (not a wooden wall) at your back warms you both sides. If for one person, another shiny reflector behind the fire sends more heat your way.

they're called long fires here. (U.S. and Canada) don't know where they came from. I did one with around 4 inch logs of unknown... maybe peach, hardwood. Around 24 hrs later I went out and moved the top cap that was left, smoldering. added one log beside to see if it reignite, and 20 minutes later it was back on. no work required. Also, you can set the times and flame wanted by adjusting air channels between logs. no air chokes. small gaps trap heat and blow torch effect. fast burn time. wider air gap longer time, less heat trapping. Lastly, we do it, slightly differently. We leave a small gap to start, pack the middle the same, we x the logs to keep the gap until those sticks burn away and top log comes down and sits itself onto the others. Same...but not, too.

Cool demonstration, appreciate you sharing your knowledge!

+Paul Schortemeyer this fire was not intended for heat. We made just to keep our morale up and have some light at night. If you are looking for heat from you fire to keep you warm those rocks will block it.

basically its this way but in fireplace on few coals its starts to burn the wood with very little fire and essentially it all turns to coal from the outside then to white ash. its quite amazing. for a basic fire.

also, if anyone is interested, you can control the amount of smoke, burn rate and heat by aiming it into or away from the breeze. If you put two rocks between the bottom logs at both ends, you can use a hooked stick to pull either end and make this adjustment while it is burning.

At 6:55 instead of putting a twig under the top log, I would just slightly pull the two bottom logs apart, then air can go all the way between all three logs. With a twig placed there it will just burn down quickly again then you can be back where you started from.
