got stuck in the mountain with my jeep last weekend. Sat there and was like what would Lars do? build a Siberian log fire and make tea, so I did. it was a great time. I do keep a quarter of my camping/hiking gear with me at all times. thanks very much Lars for all your information you share.
That fire lay is truly awesome information to have! As a typical soft urban-dwelling American with zero survival skills, this information could someday save my life! I thank you sincerely for that!
Good tip on carrying multiple gloves. I learned that the hard way. I was out yesterday and was not cold at all thanks to my awesome clothing and gloves. Have a good one!
"Just caught myself sitting and watching the camp TV there" That is a savage expression Lars. (Savage = the Irish version of awesome) I think in this age of technological over reliance where people are disconnected from nature literally and figuratively, they can't see the woods because the trees are blocking their Wi-Fi signal :D , that statement you made is a nugget of pure wisdom. If only more people could get out there and appreciate the camp TV and live in the now! Great video, have a good weekend. :)
Couldn't agree more. And while you're at it, listen to camp radio. I can't tell you how many times I've passed or been passed by hikers with ear buds blasting some godawful commercial pop (loaded with sugar, transfats, and salt) while all around them are birds, frogs, running water, the wind - the music of the wild. Unplug, for god's sake - join the real world for a while! (BTW, I'm in New England, USA)
That view of the snowy forest was just what I needed. Where I live now, we're having temperatures of about +15 C, and it's been raining nearly non-stop for a week. This video brought back memories of my childhood, playing in the snow in the Schwartzwald east of Leipzig with my friends. In many ways, I do miss the snow. Oh, about the Snowshoe Hares - many people don't know that these creatures inhabit forested areas across the entire Northern Hemisphere, not just in the USA and Canada.
Siberian TV=watching fire=awesomeness Did a Siberian log fire the other day and was a huge success....will have to try this one now as we have the same amount of snow...3'
I remember camping in deep snow in northern Pennsylvania as a young man. I made all the mistakes you can imagine, including a fire built on top of the snow that quickly started to sink and put itself out. Your technique with the three logs would have come in real handy back then! Awesome video!,
I love watching your videos and take on things. You seem like such a great guy. Wouldn't it be nice to to get to spend time around a fire sharing fishing and hunting stories. My son and I have anxiously been awaiting a weekend to go hammock camping but here in Louisiana it has been raining pretty much every weekend with some severe (tornados and hail) Can't wait to get out and fix up a small camp, relax, eat, and drink hot coffee. I feel almost as though I was there in the snow with you. Thanks!
Hello Lars😀 We don't get deep snow here in southern Ohio but it's nice to knowhow to do this "reverse"Siberian log fire. One never knows what environmemt one might find himself in. There was a man and his family driving cross country. Long story short they got stranded on the road in deep snow he went looking for help and died of exposure. His wife and daughter survived in the car and were rescued.
Lars , thanks for sharing, your forest looks so peaceful and beautiful. Nice to see you in your natural element, you seem very happy to be " home " thanks for bringing us along, always an uplifting experience! Thanks for keeping it real ! I laughed when you offered to warm us up .
Hi Lars! Great day out, that is some deep snow! Nice fire, that burns well. We are happy that you got to spend some time in the forest, always good for the soul. We had a picnic in the woods the other day, it was very peaceful and relaxing. We love our warm tea too :) Stay safe out there and we'll see you in the next one.
A 2nd comment, but I just wanted to say how much I really appreciate what you discussed around the 13:15 mark. The sport of "survival" has become popular in recent years, thank you for the reality check that are no "magic tricks". Be prepared, or you'll have a big problem :-)
Good one Lars. Hey i have a quesion: I know you eat a fair amount of fish. Share your thoughts on fishing and tips of catching fish in the winter. I know there are ka-Zillion other videos about this. But i think "we" would like your input on this.
This fire method looks like a great way to initially get something quick and useful going to warm, cook, and setup a camp! I could see how you could easily convert this into the Siberian for camp at night!!!
we've had a bunch of snow here in Michigan USA. It's beautiful to see and be outside in :) I wish it was like this all the time. Great video and a TRULY epic fire lay and cooking demonstration!! Thank for sharing your wisdom and experience. a fire, like wool...it just works...
Its so quiet in the forest when the white stuff is on the ground, very theraputic, snowin here this afternoon, pot of scotch broth on the woodstove, smells awesome...
Those skis are the way to travel in snow, I had no idea it was that deep. You just can't tell. That is exactly how i would have split that wood. I have never been around much birch that stuff splits beautifully.
Us old people have bad habits that is hard to break, always split wood that way also and after 60 years of doing it.............well , do as I say , not as I do
Another awesome video.Your advice will save someones life one day!.I've started using your feather stick trick to light my log burner,makes my life a bit easier.
Absolutely LOVE your videos. I'm living on the East Coast of the United States so I feel your pain about winter having set in. I need to get some better weather so I can do some small game hunting with a new .22 Ruger Pistol I just bought. Great job and keep up the good work. God Bless.
That is a LOT of snow, thanks for taking us along. That is yet another great fire set up, I like this one too. Have a safe and awesome filled week my friend!
I Love, Love, Love your Channel. I really look forward to when the notification pops up that you have made a new video. Very inspirational. Here in on the island of Ibiza in Spain we never get Snow. I plan to make videos as a result of watching your channel and also others. But particularly Survival Russia and Far North Bushcraft. Thanks for sharing your Views, info and experiences Friend.
Is it possible to send some of that snow to Southern California? Watching your channel can be pure torture lmao. Funny how the best entertainment can be a simple fire. Each one has its own special dance and no two are the same.
Really Imaginative fire lay. Definitely a new one for me. I always wondered if there was a better way to have a fire on the snow. Thanks Lars for sharing this technique.
Hey that looks like so much fun.. Thanks for sharing your adventure in the deep snow Russia! Lot of great tips too.. Thanks again and keep them interesting vids coming : )
iv bought a bunch of warm artic warm cloths im taking with me acrose the country bicycle touring and bush crafting well bush trying lol great video lars loved it and again thats one cool fire : ))
Lars, i finally got my silky big boy! can't wait to try it out. gonna do a comparison to my fiskars saw. these folding saws sure save a lot of work. grateful you tipped me off on these way back when.
Awesome video as always Lars! Those winter Ichigi look great. Too bad mine haven't gotten here yet! Shouldn't have ordered them right in the middle of all the holiday shipping chaos. Anywho, that's a nice looking fire! Looks real handy for deep snow. I agree with you on outdoorsmanship being a sport. It's an enjoyable thing to do, and of course you're going to enjoy it in the most comfortable way possible. No point putting yourself in danger.
enjoyed the vid Lars....awesome to use the logs for the base....plus easier cooking at that level instead of squatting or bending over...well for old guy like me anyway..hah...Thanks again for sharing!
I always learn something new or improved from your channel Lars. Yours is the best. I will have to go out and give this fire a try now. It was -40 here last night so it will be a good test. Also I just bought a silky bigboy 2000 based on your recommendation and I will tell you its the best saw I have ever used and believe me I have tried them all. All the best to you and your family Lars. Charlie
It's not the hottest burning fire, but great if that's all a person has time for in a given situation :) Good fire-lay to know, as I said. The two logs will smoulder for a long time.
Clearly you are happy to be back from Moscow, and more so in the bush. Nice video. I agree with Mikko Kusmin, We would like to see how you catch fish in the winter, and in the summer. Please share your methods
You are right Lars, bring your tools with you. If one has respect for the wild places one enters, one must be prepared to deal with the nature of the place. Going under prepared it foolish and will eventually have serious consequences.
Since you are always using folding saws i thought i'd give em a try so i bought a Chinese brand one (2$ flea market deal ) something larger than a bahco laplander it has 6 TPI and i'm starting to see why you like folding saws so much. For a Chinese one it does really good work it's razor sharp i can only imagine what the higher quality ones are like.
Lars nice video my brother. Glad you got out in the forest for sure. Teresa and I are away for some RnR for a few days in Northern Minnesota, not tropical but who needs that? Have a great week. Fred
Interesting fire with very little smoke as it draws air up through the two big logs. Just busting for winter to come here in Australia so I can camp out in the snow.
Lars do you see more snowshoe hare in your area? I know where I am in canada we've seen a marked increase the last couple of years. Wow, what a beautiful day ... the forest looks so lovely.

Here in Florida I have used this type of fire in damp and swampy areas while out hog hunting. Fantastic video. Keep'em coming....

I think Siberian people are probably the world's best at extreme cold and snow survival period.

You are so relentlessly upbeat and cheerful, always a pleasure to watch your videos after a hard day. And I get to learn something new too!
I would never have thought of making a fire on top of two logs...excellent thank you.....knowledge is everything !
Siberian TV=watching fire=awesomeness
Did a Siberian log fire the other day and was a huge success....will have to try this one now as we have the same amount of snow...3'
Nice to see the log fire again from a different perspective.
I learn new things every time I watch. Thank you sir.
Yes the camp TV has the best programmes for sure. Super video. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes.
First time making a comment. Love your videos and especially the way you tell it like it is. Great fire lays!
As always, FANTASTIC! Entertaining and very educational. I feel like we've now sat around a camp fire together.

Great and helpful example on how to make a fire in the snow and cold Lars.
I love to watch your videos, they are great and a person can learn a lot about survival. Keep up the good work Lars. Thanks 🇺🇸
Thanks for another great video Lars. I always enjoy watching and learning from you. It makes me happy when I see you have done another video.
Good to see the wilds again. There's always something new

It's great to see you back in the woods. Awesome video Lars stay safe. Colin
Camp TV is best TV :D
lots of snow I thought that Russian broke a world record for snow??? Very awesome video from Survival Russia
Good one Lars. Hey i have a quesion: I know you eat a fair amount of fish. Share your thoughts on fishing and tips of catching fish in the winter. I know there are ka-Zillion other videos about this. But i think "we" would like your input on this.
Also where to get/fishing good fish from; without them being full of mercury, poison and pollution.
Mikko Kusmin I would also like to see him do fishing in the summer and winter
Great video Lars. Good to see you back in the woods, and making a great fire and drinking tea!
Looks pretty fun! We have about the same amount of snow. I know people complain about the winters but there is a lot of fun to be had!
Great idea on the reverse fire lay. Thanks. Both are efficient. True woods wisdom.
I have beer and a new Survival Russia video to watch. Life is good.
Life Is Good :)
cheers!
a Leines Octoberfest...
prost and happy survival! Paddy
This fire method looks like a great way to initially get something quick and useful going to warm, cook, and setup a camp! I could see how you could easily convert this into the Siberian for camp at night!!!
That is a good fire idea , always something new to learn no matter how long i have been doing this.
Lars your video's are awesome. Love that fire stay warm and stay safe.
Thank you :)
we've had a bunch of snow here in Michigan USA. It's beautiful to see and be outside in :) I wish it was like this all the time. Great video and a TRULY epic fire lay and cooking demonstration!! Thank for sharing your wisdom and experience. a fire, like wool...it just works...
Hello from Newfoundland CANADA. Great log fire technique, I will definitely use it. Thanks.
Its so quiet in the forest when the white stuff is on the ground, very theraputic, snowin here this afternoon, pot of scotch broth on the woodstove, smells awesome...
10 Feb. I saw Lars splitting wood. Two really good fires now. This one is a good cooker!
Thank you Calvin.
Those skis are the way to travel in snow, I had no idea it was that deep. You just can't tell. That is exactly how i would have split that wood. I have never been around much birch that stuff splits beautifully.

Always worth reviewing.
Excellent video Lars, realistic advice on survival.

a other approach on a on top snow fire
nicely executed Lars

so steve Hi Steve. How is the pancake flipping practice going? Did you try the dried beans?
Lars nice video my brother. Glad you got out in the forest for sure. Teresa and I are away for some RnR for a few days in Northern Minnesota, not tropical but who needs that? Have a great week. Fred
Interesting fire with very little smoke as it draws air up through the two big logs. Just busting for winter to come here in Australia so I can camp out in the snow.
I'm guessing the HIgh Country or Tassie.. another month hiding from the sun at least.
"Half reverse Siberian log fire" Lars that could be your finishing move! Little pro wrestling humor.😆
Lars do you see more snowshoe hare in your area? I know where I am in canada we've seen a marked increase the last couple of years.
Wow, what a beautiful day ... the forest looks so lovely.
