Love this fire lay. I taught it to my Basics of Survival Class this last weekend when it got down to 23 degrees F or -5 degrees C. Really appreciate your channel, it is one of the most practical and useful channels on UA-cam. Thanks, Lars.
Watching your video from the couch this week, Lars. 27 stitches in my leg, another 19 in my arm a broken collar bone and probably some ribs and covered in scrapes and laceration and fighting an infection. My poor old dog is in much worse condition beside me having been disemboweled by a feral pig last week. Was in the scrub in Western Queensland when we were cornered in a ravine and attacked by a 240 odd kilogram Razor Back. Had to carry my dog out maybe 17 or 18 kilometers back to my truck. Nearly $4000 in vet bills later and a couple of weeks off work surprisingly it looks like he's going to make it. Didn't expect that. Anyway. That's where my adventures led me last week. Been enjoying your channel while we recover. Cheers.
Nice of you to take the time to send me your well wishes, Laddonna. Appreciate that. Back at work for a couple of weeks already and as you say a little wiser. Marley is doing great. Tough mutt. lol. Where ever you all are and whatever you're doing wish you all a Merry Christmas.
GOD speed! Eat lots of nutrient dense bone broth, see on web how to make with vinegar - it's delicious! TAKE minerals to speed repair, amazing how well it works. Give to your dog too, 1/2 dose and less tine for him/her. Minerals for a month - Told to me by a Navajo Medicine Man, the real deal. I was walking OK in two weeks. Had crushed both lower legs in work-related accident, 1 year of lameness, crutches, continual bruising, swelling, etc. 15 years later, still 110% well! BTW, We have peccaries, or Javelina here. Very dangerous when they attack. You are lucky to be alive. Good for you taking care of your DOG! You Down Under folk are truly amazing ppl.! 18 Kilometers wounded carrying a dog too. Extremely Tough! Determined soul - Bravo!
Thanks, Alex. When the shit hits the fan you do what you have to do. Same for anybody. Just a bad week and one of those things. Appreciate your good advice and glad you pulled through yourself. Best wishes, Cheers.
He should join the survival game show. After 2 months when usually everybody quits and the winner survives, he would be asking to leave him alone, he is enjoying himself. Come back in 6 month.
Absolute best fire tutorial video out! Have watched this a number of times and never gets old! So practical and functional that its also a work of art! :-)
hi lars i done my first attempt at the long log fire and done a video on it - i learnt a hell of a lot by trying it. thanks for the inspiration brother. this type of fire looks good - will try it out one of these days. take care lars darren
It's easier than the double log fire but does not burn as long. However it makes more heat and is easy to keep going. Also it does not need as much attention as a regular fire. It will burn many hours without care. Cheers and thank you Darren ;)
I watched that Funky's long log fire. As a Finlander I was of course familiar with the design. To create that perfect long fire, it takes many practice runs. I was impressed by this success. This Siberian fire I was not familiar with. I loved it. This video had some great value in it. I could easily recommend to any outdoor and forest lover.
Thank you! You are providing a clear, concise, FUN way to learn outdoor skills. I cannot wait to try up here, over 1 mile high, Arizona High Mountains. aka, we 'gals' watch you too. ;)
The reason that I subscribed to you a while back is that you are the REAL deal!! Out in all weather, getting it done!!!!!!!!!! You piss upon so called experts like Bear Grylls and so many others, from a great height!!! >;-) Never seen that fire set up and I must say I was impressed!!!!!!!!! Love your channel. AMB from Arizona USA!
+Charles Larson Thank you very much CL. BG and those guys might be OK survivalists off cam. I don't know. But it's sad they take part in "branding" survival training in ways which have nothing to lees to do with real survival. That fire setup is good when cold :)
Lars, can you do a video on your background and how you learned all these skills? Every time I watch one of your videos, I learn something new. Thanks again.
Lars,went out 2 days ago scouting my spot for overnighter. Tried the Siberian fire,must say I like it alot. Probably gonna be my go to fire. Awesome info as always. Take care my friend.
Wonderful video Lars, great ideas very well presented as always. Wind change gets us all. Your Silky 'Ono' seems to be a very effective hatchet. Thanks, Greg
Patience is key. I enjoy your videos, and feel your always relaxed. Even in frustrating situations you must find a way to find comfort. Keep up the good work, from California with love!!
Very nice video. I have not seen this fire before and I learned a new trick from you. Thank you for this video! Great tip on the raised bed and how the heat gets under it!
Hej Lars. Just back from a 4-nighter with two frends. Made all cooking and shelter heating on the Sibirian log fire. Superb! Thank you for your vids on this and other topics.
Juha Aaltonen Thank you Juha :)Quite easy and very effective. Just don't let air be able to pass under the bottom log. A bonus is also , that next time i come to the camp there is lots of wood left and it will be easy to light up as the ends are charred :)Regards, Lars
Your shelter with a sheet of clear plastic draped over the front will protect you from the smoke AND trap valuable heat inside. This is the 'super shelter' (minus the mylar 'space blanket' reflector) set up initially promoted by Mors Kochanski, a Canadian bush craft and survival trainer. Our Canadian winters in Alberta remind me of yours. I have watched several of your videos and like them. Thank you for taking the time to share your skills with us.
Sibirisches Feuer,habe ich auch schon ausprobiert,hält lange und man braucht immer nur die Stämme nachschieben einfach und genial ...sehr gutes Video Danke Lars👍🏻
Seriously smart fire lay Lars, quite unique. I was just thinking of its duality, the long fire with integral firewall as you said it. The ability to cook on this in so many ways too....really clever. Those guys now how to keep warm. Hope you didn't get set upon by any randy moose?! ;) Thanks for another great episode in this super series. Stay safe and well.
I miss the brilliant simple aspects your old videos. We all age gracefully. Not to take away from the new. Keep reposting. It will beat the algorithm hopefully.👍🇨🇦 This good info pls don't this. City folk need your expertise. 👍🇨🇦
North ontario bush man here . Great videos your fire set up makes me think all I dont know about keeping warm. Could you make a sleep system using peeled birch bark
Rewatching this in 2020 and Lars still uses this fire regularly. I haven't seen the BK2 or the Ono in use in the past few years, though; mostly Mora Kansbol or Garberg along with some model of Silky saw these days.
Nice fire lay. looks like one i need to try here in the winter of Wisconsin USA. One question what did you scrape to start an ember with the striker? at 3:35 in the video? looked like birch bark?
Great video Lars, a really awesome take on the traditional log fire methods. I never tried the log fires, the swedish fire torch i did a few times, always a nice one. But All night burning fires, are nice way to get some good sleep when out. By the way, your camera work and video skills really awesome, hope your all good. All the best, Robert
NordicBritPrepper Thanks Rob :) Even on a smaller scale it would still be a great camp fire. Takes a little practice to learn how to keep it going. It's important not to let the fire find way under the ground log.
Love this fire lay. I taught it to my Basics of Survival Class this last weekend when it got down to 23 degrees F or -5 degrees C. Really appreciate your channel, it is one of the most practical and useful channels on UA-cam. Thanks, Lars.
Well done :) This is a great fire lay to know. Thank you too.
If anyone would know about keeping warm in the cold it would be the Siberians!
+INFOCOOL Very true :)
+Survival Russia They shure do, great fire! And Danes learn fast if I'm not much mistaken;-) Great vid
+bellybutthole Thank you :) Yes i am Danish :)
what about a yeti?
I assume you picked her. Blame yourself friend
Very interesting fire lay and one I have never seen before. Thanks for showing
***** Thank you Lonnie :) It works quite well.
Wow, I really like your version of the "long burning fire". Thanks for sharing it with us.

I happy to see the channel has been growing. I have been away from the internet for awhile. Cheers!
he is good, got a very natural delivery. Thanks for all the videos of yours I have watched
Awesome videos. Especially for colder climates. Very nice.

Survival Russia Lars, you are toughest SOB on YT. Period. BG is total BS!!!!
@@charleslarson3152 haha even the rim looks warm compared to this
Ironically, Bear Grylls would probably love that.....
This is truly a superb fire technique. Thank you.
Lars, can you do a video on your background and how you learned all these skills?
Every time I watch one of your videos, I learn something new. Thanks again.
Lars,went out 2 days ago scouting my spot for overnighter. Tried the Siberian fire,must say I like it alot. Probably gonna be my go to fire. Awesome info as always. Take care my friend.
"Don't come running with your lawyer..." 😂😂😂😂😂
Wonderful video Lars, great ideas very well presented as always. Wind change gets us all. Your Silky 'Ono' seems to be a very effective hatchet. Thanks, Greg
Not sure how I missed this video but it's fun to see how this fire lay evolved with you over the past 3 years.
Great fire. I will have to try this out next time I get out in the woods. Thanks. Gordon
awesome video! keep them coming... we love them here in Kansas USA!
Was told my fire was weak and to check yours out. They were right. Well done man. I like it.
Awesome fire set up Lars,would have felt good today,had to work outside, thanks..take care and be safe..cheers!
Its good to see you! Jesus bless you!
nice demonstration..this is how to make a nice fire for sure...thank's
+Billy Bob It is for sure a good fire lay. Thank you for the comment and for watching :)
Good job! Love the first strike and fire method :)
Learned about this fire lay right here on your channel Lars. It is now one of my favorites even for a small fire. As I see it is yours as well!
Yes it works really well for most conditions Æ=
@@SurvivalRussia love the show Lars. I am not familiar with the Danish alphabet? Sorry just an American country boy.
"so don't come with your lawyer" this guy knows his audience haha
Patience is key. I enjoy your videos, and feel your always relaxed. Even in frustrating situations you must find a way to find comfort. Keep up the good work, from California with love!!
Thanks Lars, this is a great series.
Very nice video. I have not seen this fire before and I learned a new trick from you. Thank you for this video! Great tip on the raised bed and how the heat gets under it!
That is great fire. Thx for showing us !
Another great fire lay Lars with built in reflector ! thanks for sharing
atb john
Very nice video! I've burned long logs, one at a time but never in a setup like this. I will surely give this a try this winter!
+Sty North Thanks buddy :) You should try it out. Works very well.
thanks for great video for survival in the cold.real cold
+Fred Gardner Thank you very much Fred. Yes it works quite well :)
Thanks for video. I will try it this winter
Thx buddy.... Love you show..... You are great
Hej Lars. Just back from a 4-nighter with two frends. Made all cooking and shelter heating on the Sibirian log fire. Superb! Thank you for your vids on this and other topics.
That sounds really awesome. I am actually working on doing a tutorial on the Log Fire. What kind of wood did you use?
Vi anväde fallna träd och grenar från björk gran och tall.
Thanks for the new way to keep a fire going. Looks like it would burn for a long time,. Great job with the video!
+Darrin Hunt My pleasure. It will burn for a long time yes and if you use a fresh or not so dry log on the ground it will burn even longer :)
Fantastic video! Thank you for showing this great fire technology. Greets from switzerland
Felix
I really like that fire I will have to show my friends how to make it ...thanks
realy nice video and ty for the info how to make a good fire
+heinekenboy Thank you very much :)
Nice concept. Thanks for sharing. We can all learn a lot from each other.
+Ward George Thank you. We surely can :)
Magic Lars! Great to see your video's. Thanks Moz
Great video man, well done i like it and i can see how well it would direct the heat. thanks again Lars.
Another fantastic video Lars. Keep em coming.

kjumper1 Thank you very much indeed Ken :) Cheers!
Very nice and informative video. This "Siberian fire" is easy to build on any scale is needed.
Juha Aaltonen Thank you Juha :)Quite easy and very effective. Just don't let air be able to pass under the bottom log. A bonus is also , that next time i come to the camp there is lots of wood left and it will be easy to light up as the ends are charred :)Regards, Lars

Very cool video! Thank you for sharing sir!
+Joseph Rose Thank you and thanks for watching :)
Wonderful video Lars...a great fire method...haven't tried it yet, but maybe next time. Happy wandering. Paul :)
super....thank you!
Have you made a self feed fire? have you any more drone shots.
No i have never really felt the need for it :) Yes i have more drone footage.
Excellent looking fire my friend, I will be using this style in the fall/winter. I spend a lot more time outside then, way too hot right now. lol
Subbed for more lessons on how you do it in Siberia! Thanks mate.
+WelcomeToMyDream Thank you. I much appreciate it!
Great video! Look forward to your next video.
mike Cheshire Thanks! Hopefully i will head out soon and do a few :)
Great video !! Thanks for sharing, greets Brummer

Great job my friend. Looking forward too your next TIP. ATB mac
nice video...greetings from croatia
+fojnica222 Thank you :) Greetings from Denmark/Russia !
One thing really great thing about Russia, you always can find a place free from people. Nice fire too. V
Nice video, I enjoyed this, thanks for sharing..!
Paul Sheils Thanks Paul.
North ontario bush man here . Great videos your fire set up makes me think all I dont know about keeping warm. Could you make a sleep system using peeled birch bark
The dislike for lawyers seems the same all over the world.
Great video Lars!
Rewatching this in 2020 and Lars still uses this fire regularly. I haven't seen the BK2 or the Ono in use in the past few years, though; mostly Mora Kansbol or Garberg along with some model of Silky saw these days.
Nice fire lay. looks like one i need to try here in the winter of Wisconsin USA. One question what did you scrape to start an ember with the striker? at 3:35 in the video? looked like birch bark?
+Chris M It's great in summer too because it's low maintenance and don't throw a lot of sparks. Yes it's birch bark. Just scrape and light it up :)
Great hatchet Lars. Where can one be purchased?
If it is the flat butcher style hatchet, then it's called "Silky ONO". Ono means hatchet in Japanese.
great video and fantastic fire lay. I can now look forward to winter Cheer's. Æ
+andrew ellison Works very well indeed. Has a lot of advantages. What a Danish letter? :)
The first "Welcome to Survival Russia" intro!
Possibly :)
good video mate, the bigger the fire the better the night gets when outside :)
Great great video Lars! Cheers, Marc
Scouting Free Thank you Marc :)

I agree, guess if the fire got below it would burn like crazy once it got going.
Good job my friend. I will have to make one of these one day.
+mister smith Thank you :) Please do. Works very well.
