if it's actually raining on you, the splitting and shaving has to be done under some sort of shelter, or the wood just gets wet as you do this. There's no point in having a fire out in the rain, cause it can't warm or dry you in such conditions. You have to get some sort of shelter from the rain before bothering with the fire. In a survival situation, I'd give up my last cutting tool before I'd give up my reflective tyvek bivy. It is a LOT easier to find/contrive a cutting edge than a wind, sun and rain-proof cover element (where it's cold) much less such an item that is easily portable/wearable as clothing.
Not really true, I've watched Jordan first hand start a fire in a thunderstorm. He just very quickly got it going like in this video and then immediately made it HUGE. When the rain eventually did subside, we dried out any wet gear.
Haha thanks!! I usually don’t do this high quality of filming haha but my friend a videographer was in town - actually did this a couple years and - just never had time to color it and I don’t know how so finally just putting anyway ha
The view is priceless.I think you'll love our Muscle & Joint Pain Relief Cream products and would be a great fit for a partnership. Let's discuss further and send you some products to try out.
you can make wooden wedges and use them to split wood, once you start a saw kerf across the end of a log.. For the Alone challenge, I'll take a Cold Steel shovel with 8" of saw teeth cut into one side over axe and saw put-together. It doesnt even freeze for the first month, doesn't go below 20F for another month. So you have very little need of a warming fire, if you know how to make a properly insulated tarp and tape tent, in one day. 90% will have no need of such a fire at all, since they wont last 2 months. and half wont last a month. It's depressing how ignorant and incompetent most of the contestants are.
Having a fire inside of your shelter requires ventilation, or the smoke will drive you out. Those vent-holes let out your heat, let in the cold, create convection currents that rob you of heat. Most of the fire place's heat is lost up the chimney and to the stones of the fireplace. The fireplaces is of almost no value a mere 1 meter from the fire, unless you know to heat at least softball-sized stones in the fire and put them in a row of pits under your raised bed. Surround each stone with a 2" thick layer of ashes, so that its heat is released slowly, while other stones are warmed in the fire.. It makes more sense to heat head-sized stones outside of the shelter and not have to risk burning the shelter, dying in your sleep of CO poisoning and needing 4x as much firewood as with the hot rock idea. Plus, if you build the shelter properly, keeping it small, SEALED, insulated and reflective, you probably wont need the hot rocks at all until you're completely emaciated. If you've had brains enough to make a lot of netting from the cotton rope hammock, you wont get that skinny. \ If you've used 100 lbs of fish and a stake and log bear-box to bait in a 200+ lb bear to within 10m of your tree blind, you wont lose much weight at all. A ready-for-hibernation bear is 25% bodyfat and fat is 3500 calories to the lb. 50 lbs of fat is thus 175,000 calories. 50 lbs of lean meat is another 30,000 calories. Fat for hibernation, a 200 lb bear is a small one, so you'll probably score more like 300,000 calories with a bear, which is enough food for you to lose no weight for 100 days, if you stay hole up in your shelter. The brain, marrow and blood of a big animal also offer calories. You can't choke down enough lean meat, fish or cambium to keep from losing weight. That's why the Innuit stated on the coastlines. They KNEW that they had to catch fat animals, such as seals, narwhals, whales and walrus, or they'd starve to death, even if they DID have a mountain of stringy caribou flesh.

Hey @user-ci2mn1oy3w you seem to have all the answers. Please remind me, what season of Alone did you win?
