Hello 👋 Russia. I enjoy my Russian fur hat. It's very warm. People laugh and smirk when they see it but I don't care. It shipped from Samara. I'm American.

I wish ALL the world leaders had as much wisdom and good spirits as you! Thanks for sharing. When the sun pops our grid it will be folks like you who are remembered in stories around campfires getting handed down to future generations...

Great advice. I was recently in the remote backwoods on a week long hunting trip and it was often rainy and wet. It is a comfort to have the necessary skills to confidently handle adverse weather conditions. The skills you teach are valuable for those wishing to learn.

Yeah that is one of the reasons for not uploading much videos the last month. Hunting season is probably over now. My hunting buddy got a caribou on one of our hunts so we split it. Other than that I did not get anything this year. That is fine however as we still have plenty of moose meat still from last year. We are good for meat for another year yet.

Atkrdu. Hunting began for me in August and caribou season goes through to end of this month. Moose season is over now in most if not all areas of Alaska I believe. As I said, the Fall caribou season is still going for another few days but I won't be going out again this Fall. A late caribou opener may open up again in about a month that will last for most of the winter. It is not clear at this time whether there will be a late opener or not this year.

It fascinates me how that fire completely changed my feelings towards the wet weather and depressing gray day. From a "yuch, what a weather" to "such a beautiful trip into the woods, look at this cheery fire". Your videos are quite immersive, Lars

ive been making fires with all the logs over one log and the tinder below it for years . lots of people have told me I was wrong. clearly that isn't the case. great video! awesome charisma. good to know other people make fires like this.

I saw what looked like a horse hoof fungus on a birch tree behind you. That is good for holding an ember even if a little wet. You have a lot of good resources in your location for starting fires. We have no birch trees here like you have but we have abundant rich fat wood. I love your videos because your honest and experience really comes through. Thanks for sharing with us!

Rain in the woods and the cracking of fire make me feel instantly comfortable.

If you close your eyes Mr Schwazeneger is now a survival expert.

It has been Raining for Multi Days .. So Why Not Go Out into the Forest and Start a Fire ! = Fantastic ! I Especially Like how you Cut Grooves into the Starter Logs to Accelerate Start

By far the most entertaining bushcraft channel (with far North bushcraft and survival and reallybigmonkey as nummer 2 and 3) Nice to see a small Siberian log fire :-)

I'm in rainy oregon here. I've used a machette to hack into the center of a log where it was still dry. I used all those inner chips to start a small fire inside a teepee of soaked wood with a berm of soaked logs. Its smokey for awhile, but if you just keep that small hot spot going with chips it will eventually catch. If i can find tree sap ill go with that too.

Me and a buddy was on a 7 day expedition trip in the Olympic Peninsula and got stuck in a multi-day soaker. It took us 2 days to get a fire started!

I’m learning from you. Thank you so much, you are saving our lives.

I love to see the Siberian log fire in action again - one of the most interesting things I learned from your channel. I also liked the Firefly in use; after seeing your introduction video I changed out the tooth picks on all of my Victorox knives for Firefly's. I think a tooth pick can be more easily made in the woods from a wood splinter than a fire lighter!

I've learned to make SLF on this channel many many years ago, it has served me well each time I used it. Cuts are a nice trick to get it started faster in this weather.

Hi Survival Russia 🇷🇺 You are doing so very great videos of different things to now about 👍🏼 And you’re doing it very interesting and with a good happy mood 😃 Happy to also se a bit of your family sometimes, thats make it more natural and alive videos ☀️

Here in northern sweden we call fatwood for ""tjärved" its like taarwood if you translate words direct. Works like a charm👌

Great tutorial as building a fire in the rain with everything already wet is the ultimate test apart from extreme cold. I like how the design of the SLF shelters your tinder and kindling as the fire is growing. In my neck of the woods there are no birch trees but lots of high quality fatwood. I keep a couple pieces in my bag for emergencies.

I love that you use the same fire lay pretty much every time. Shows it's versatility. I live in the Canadian west coast rainforest and it rains here a lot. I use this lay many times now if I have to light a fire out in the open, thanks for sharing it!

Great advice, I believe you inspire people to go out in the wilderness more, you show them that It isnt that bad, thank you for the advice.

Good to see how things can be done under differing weather conditions, tried a small siberian log fire several times over the summer impressed my partner no end until she started watching your channel and realized where my "know how" came from!

This is the only fire I use when I'm out, I've had a camp wash out and the fire never let me down!!! Awesome, got it done!!👍👍

Making a fire in the rain reminds me so much of where I live in the PNW. Rainy season hasn't quite started for us yet but in a few weeks I can't wait to get out and make fires again! Thanks for the video!

Love you videos. Great information and great camera work. Your English is 1000x better than my Russian,but I want to give you some synonyms for Awesome: Amazing Outstanding Fantastic Pretty great Surprisingly good Super duper Keep up the awesome work!!

What a beautiful campfire!

Thank you Lars. You're my inspiration to start my own channel.

In pouring rain, you have to make a sort of teepee, open on one side, and covered in green fir boughs. Make it big enough to leave you some room to work. Once you have a fire going, the teepee will eventually dry out and can be used as fuel (replace the boughs as needed). If it is raining hard enough, you have to make a really big fire or it will go out, but if it is raining that hard, you won't be able to stay warm (literally steaming on one side, sopping wet cold on the other) and you should be in a shelter anyhow. t. Oregon

This is seriously a great video for survivalists

German Army hint for pouring rain: Clear the Ground to the soil, build an angled raincover out of wood and nearby debris (about 60x60cm and 1,10m high). Get some logs about the diameter of your forearm. Build a base out of that logs and start your fire ontop. The logs will enable realy good ventilation and later on a coalbed. Put some realy big stones into the fire and you'll get some decent heatsource even if the fire goes down in the night. (pioneer regiment) In germany we get a tiny box for our ear-protection, but big enough to carry a half of a heavily waxed tampon form you girlfriend. A livesaver, if you need fire.

I live in the Pacific Northwest and camp all year round. This is essential information. Thank you very much.

Superb demonstration. Thank you.

I like the way you started the fire using the firesteel and the wood you found in the forest. There was plenty of downed trees there to be used as firewood and to build a camp from. It reminds me of where I live in the rural area and with so much brush and dead trees around to make fires with.

Good job Lars. Getting a fire going when everything is wet can be hard to do. As you showed here, having everything ready before lighting it is the key. Your Siberian Log Fire is one I haven't tried yet, but plan to this winter!

@SurvivalRussia

You're in winter country as far as I know, so the Log Fire is a must to try out. I doubt you will go back to traditional fire lays once you have tried this. It can take a few times to find out the quirks of course.

Yes it gets cold and snowy here. From watching your videos, it looks like a great set up. I will use it for sure!

That siberian log fire is awesome. And I'am definetly gona use that from this day onwards, when ever I go hunting and most likely don't catch anything and just roast some saugages. But now I wanna see you start a fire in the rain without birch. :)

You're doing great still being able to fit in clothing you used to wear 20 years ago. Stay trim, it will serve you well. I guess I also have a certain amount of pride still being able to wear what I used to wear over 20 years ago. When I was younger, I used to lift weights and I've actually shrunk since then. Now I stay fit through cycling. It's kind of funny that I've actually gone to wearing smaller from when I was younger. Very good information here Lars. I hope I spelled your name correctly.

.Very skilled, and very good information on making a fire in the rain, which I have always found hard to do.. :)

Very informative my friend, this has to be better than just sitting under a tarp waiting for the rain to stop, I enjoyed watching this video, thank you.

👍 Lara's, super videos and color comentsty,😁 I was involved in the boy scouts of America growing up, Learned alot, then continued into more survival efforts. And involved in many primitive camping efforts.i don't have my own channel yet, You have encouraged many, I think the way things are going hear in the states and around the globe It wont be long till the shtf. Good luck to all, god bless

Solid advice for making fire in damp conditions.

5:55 THANK YOU, I DIDN'T KNOW!

Im going to my local wood just to try this in the rain. Excellent and clear tutorial.

Siperian log fire!!! My favorite kind of fire!

Thank you for teaching

dude, you are the most cool person ever

Haha, I actually looked at the thumbnail, only saw the blue jacket and thought "Is Lars out and about with someone else?" Didn't expect the blue North Face. :D Wet condition fires are something any and every outdoorsman/woman/Yeti should train in. The Siberian log fire saves the day again, even in micro-size. Thank you for the tutorial video Lars! Started raining hard today just as I got off from work, which was outside work. So that was nice. Still went for a quick 8 km walk after work though, because I'm a lunatic. Guess rain is more enjoyable in the free time.
