Minimalist Camp 2013 - Swedish Torch

The campers were looking for an alternative source of light and a quick way to boil some water for evening coffee! So we decided to construct a Swedish Torch.

Patience and persistence.... never give up. Good job guys.

Those things would be great mounted on 8 foot poles as well. Great for insect repellent and camp lighting. Plus if anything comes around that is harry and scary, it's an instant aggression subduer. Thanks for sharing guys. That is a great skill to learn.

Cool and good Torch! Great fire resource. Thanks for sharing! Sepp

I was ready to call fail.... But then.... Light!!! Well done gentlemen.

Nice video. Great to use for boiling in a small container on top once it is established. Makes a great "personal" heater and keeps a fairly low profile. Nothing like a camp fire you can pick up and move if you have to :) Take care...

Great work my friend, this I haven't tried yet but you guys made it look easy. Pine resin is on my list! Atb

Good you stuck with it! nice!

[@calebadams4162]

Nice guys. These are always fun to make and use little fuel when u get them going. Keep up the vids. God bless

Just used it last two weekends :) Only difference is that I always start the fire on top. Just a small one is sufficient and you'll have a nice stove in 2 minutes :)

Determination wins again!

Hey my Brother.. It depends on the wood you use.. I would assume that this log would have burned a few hours being it was still damp. The fire inside isn't near as large as in a fire pit.. so it would be a good time

[@beeman715]

Swedish torch instructions: light and blow on it till you pass out. LOL

[@BushcraftOnFire]

Yes.. that would have been primo.. but we used what we had on hand.. no.. it wasn't the best.. but we DID get it to work

[@BushcraftOnFire]

It depends.. You can probably move it... how safe it is when lit is a judgement call

[@silviasundkvist3712]

Why aren’t you making videos anymore?

[@davidwendell6471]

Thanks for your question. At this point in life (I'm almost 66), I just wanted to spend time with my beloved Tam. I decided a few years ago to move more into art... and Tam enjoys tinkering in her flower gardens. Thanks for asking

[@Kayakwinds]

Can you safely pick it up and move it?
