  • One secret to make a campfire in really wet conditions is spelled Fatwood! Pine stumps full with resin are usually easy to find, but you'll need an axe to cut it. Here I make a fire in the Firebox stove, and fill the kettle with snow to make coffee. A great relaxing day in the woods!

    One of the most holy moment. Drinking coffee outdoor in snow. Stay healthy, Erik.

    I love how Eric captures the true essence of nature, in his videos, while showcasing his bushcraft skills. I love the aroma of fatwood when first cut. Makes me want to head to the woods.

    I enjoy hearing the Swedish language. It brings fond memories of my great grandmother in the kitchen brewing Swedish coffee and giving us kids her homemade ginger cookies! Thanks for another great video. Erik!

    Fatwood ( Lighter knot , Heart wood ) is always a good fire starter. Here in Florida we use the heart section of a dead pine tree or stump. The outer section rots away leaving the hard center. It's amber in color and smells like solidified turpentine. One trip in the Okefenokee Swamp it was raining and cold , a cold hard rain. A fire of the fat wood was built and we had a nice warm fire while in the rain. It's a nice fire but smokey with lots of soot , not good for cooking a meal over.

    I like the tiny sit pad. I don’t drink coffee nor tea but I do like the ritual of preparation. Thank you Erik…

    Anyone that goes out in the “wilderness” should be able to start a fire in bad conditions. Thanks for sharing. Take care and stay safe.
