    Here's an easy way to do it while camping in the backcountry.

    A Swedish torch is a log split into 3 or 4 chunks with the inside of each being shaved down a bunch then all tied back together with wire or rope it essentially looks just like the one this guy had minus having to find a rotting log

    For this style, (Rocket Stove) you can also use the ashes to make lye. Just tilt the semi-burned log and pour animal fat down the insides and the fat and ash will create a lye/fat mixture that you can set and make hard soap out of. Make sure to mix it and that the fat and log are not hot. Usually should drip cold liquid fat.

    👍🏼 What's really great is you can find a dry, well seasoned chunk of elm that size! If you pound REALLY HARD on the heartwood (dark part at the center), it will pop through in one piece! Makes an excellent, l-o-n-g burning campfire! 👍🏼😎✌🏼

    I saw a video where the guy took a small saw and cut 5-6 equal length branches - approx @ at 3-4” round x 14” long , plus a piece that was only about 6” high.
    He used some wire and stood the uprights around the short piece and held it together with a 2’ length of wire he Carrie’s in his pack.
    He packed the center with tinder and had a nice fire to place his pot on to cook.

    cooking on aluminum foil is not so good due to leeching but ig it's alright if done sparsely

    Did you know when you cook aluminum it releases poisons into your food by leaching into it, Aluminium is significantly more likely to leach into food, and at higher levels, in acidic and liquid food solutions like lemon and tomato juice than in those containing alcohol or salt. Leaching levels climb even more when spice is added to food that's cooked in aluminium foil. Apr 6, 2016 Google
