Great video and audio quality, good pacing with occasional humor and delivers the educational content clearly and concisely as well. Honestly it's shocking it has only 1k views since this is exactly the kind of content that usually has +1m views.
Yes do, it's a lot of fun and very effective. Don't over soak the wick with fuel though, because if you do, as it heats up it tends to run down the handle. Enjoy 😉
Im testing this type of torches out for our spring `Ritual` we hold every year at my friends cottage in the Finnish lakelands. I have six for all the six attendees and hope it will bring the right type of mood and a lot of light around the bonfire. Cheers from Finland!
Use citronella. I've had them last 30-45 minutes. If you 4-way split the wood, you can wedge an old shirt or any piece of cloth in-between without wire. Good video though man. Make these every time I camp
Great idea, I'll try your alternative version, thanks for letting me know about. You might find this video of interest: ua-cam.com/video/6ZORAFeJXFo/v-deo.html
@@NutsinMay yes,thats why i was thinking. There are modern version,for stageplay and the olympics,but they are too fragile and small to give a true "adventure" type feel.
Hi. If the wick is fully soaked with fuel, any idea how long will the torch burn? Also, once the flame dies down, can you just resoak the wick with fuel or would you have to replace the wick entirely? Many thanks for sharing. 🙏🥰
Hi Micheal, I got about a 30min burn time. This could be improved by a thicker wick layer (which would hold more fuel). If you extinguish the flame as soon as the fuel has burnt off, you shouldn't need to change the wick. You can then re soak it and re use as is. If you leave the tourch a flame after the fuel has burnt off, the wick will eventually be incinerated. Hope this info is useful, thanks for your interest. d.
How do you know when the fuel is used up and the wick is burning? It's probably pretty obvious different kind of burning, I just want book smarts before I try to learn by experience 😊
Yes you're right, Bees wax does work really well - and it's natural (not refined in any way). Thanks for your comment Thy Staff. Have you watched my medieval brazier video? If not it may interest you.
Smother it in something, sand is good or soil. Grass cuttings work well or just lay the flamming torch on the ground and throw a lump of cuttings on top of the flame. Be careful though, watch you don't burn yourself.
I’m trying to create tiki torches for an overnight bonfire event, however it’s really hard to get wick in lagos. Also how can I keep the fire burning for about 30 -60 minutes at a time?
That depends on what fuel you use. With paraffin, 15 - 20mins. Wax, a bit longer. The thickness of the wick is a factor to, the bigger the wick, the more fuel it can hold.
That is a damned good fire torch Sir! will be lining my hallway with your torch design this night
Will come in handy when the power goes out and in the SHTF situation. Great video ! 👍👍🇺🇸
Awesome, can’t wait to try it!!

That sounds amazing, I'm envious. I hope you have a truely magical night.
Ughhh, fgthatgin cthulu?
thanks dude! I've always wanted to know how to do this
Awesome video! I learned something new today.
Thank you🙏🏻
Thank you, sir! I needed an idea for my band's group photo. Great tutorial

Depending on the fuel, the wire can melt, i recommend to use fuel that won’t make blue flames
Thank you for the tutorial....
well done, great video. greetings from TX
Hello Texas 👋🏻
Top content mate, keep it up.
Enjoyable and educational. Very well done.
Gotta try it!
Would definetly want to see more,how about a modern or more solid version of this? Like an handled brazier, or a steel reinforced head torch.
I will see what I can come up with in the near future. Thanks for your comment, much appreciated.
Did you have a look at my Medieval fire brazier video!?
@@NutsinMay yes,thats why i was thinking. There are modern version,for stageplay and the olympics,but they are too fragile and small to give a true "adventure" type feel.
Okay, that's given me something to think about - thankyou.
8:35 You are the best. X)
Cool!
Torches and pitch forks. Fun. And you're recycleing.
All of which essential tools for hunting down the monsters we have in our lives! Thank you for taking the time to comment, much appreciated.

Well done.

@@NutsinMay Many thanks for sharing n d quick reply. Another possible prepping tool. Much appreciate it. 😊
what do you use for Fuel. you mean paraffin or kerosene?
How do you know when the fuel is used up and the wick is burning? It's probably pretty obvious different kind of burning, I just want book smarts before I try to learn by experience 😊
Mighty Fine !
Thanks Daz, nice to hear from you (now you're back).
good
Beech Beech Beech lmsoo had me laughing 😅
You can never find it when you look for it! 😉
If you coat the cloth with bees wax you can get a longer burn time.
Yes you're right, Bees wax does work really well - and it's natural (not refined in any way). Thanks for your comment Thy Staff. Have you watched my medieval brazier video? If not it may interest you.
@@NutsinMay I will check it out, thank you.
How long do they usually last?
15 - 20mins depending on what fuel you use and thickness of wick.
What's a good way to snuff the torch? All I can think is to douse it, but that leaves it unusable for some time
Smother it in something, sand is good or soil. Grass cuttings work well or just lay the flamming torch on the ground and throw a lump of cuttings on top of the flame. Be careful though, watch you don't burn yourself.
You can wet the fabric where you want the fire to stop and only add to fuel where you want the fire to stop

No, normally the touch lasts a maximum of 20mins
Nice
Thanks, hope you enjoyed it.
we use it while caving
I bet that is amazing, wow!
Tq sir
@Nuts in May I would use lamp oil, can I do that? Thanks :)
Yes, that would;d totally work.
Very basic but it can use
What Kind of fabric are you using?
Hello Deanna, I used cotton fabric and just a thin (easily bendable) metal wire. Thank you for posting these questions.
what oil you use for it its diesel or gasoline?
Lamp oil is best
Can you use petrol? Or it’s that dangerous?
Not ideal because petrol burns too quickly - yes, rather dangerous to.
You could use Motor oil.
can i use turpentine as a fuel?
You can, but it's not ideal as it burns too quickly
What kind of wire?
Sorry, Deanna R, I've only just seen your comment! Any wire will do the job, as long as it is thin enough to manipulate with your hands.
Wire in medieval times?
Yes, wire was invented in the medieval period, chain mail links were made from medieval wire.
Parrafin on the other hand, didn't exist.
Nice save. Haha
Nice save. Haha
Nice save. Haha
Candle wax?
Candle wax works
How long will that burn?
That depends on what fuel you use. With paraffin, 15 - 20mins. Wax, a bit longer. The thickness of the wick is a factor to, the bigger the wick, the more fuel it can hold.
