A sunny December day at my camp in the woods, today I build a self feeding fire

[@diglettunnel.kaneko]

you can use the self feeding fire with a metal pipe on a angle across the fire to heat your tent without smoke inside

[@OutdoorsMyLife]

Will try that@@diglettunnel.kaneko

[@RobertBrown-n6h]

That is the first time I have seen it done like that it is simpler I like it.

[@OutdoorsMyLife]

Thanks

Next time clear away the leaves around the perimeter of the fire pit to help contain the fire

[@OutdoorsMyLife]

Will do

[@thekidl4364]

[@lincpink]

[@EventyrsorenDenmark]

Great fire work very well.Thanks for sharing this great video.🙂🙃🙂

[@OutdoorsMyLife]

I was pleased that it worked, too many people said it wouldn't

[@milododds1]

I have read that using spacer sticks between the logs can help the system work a little better.

[@OutdoorsMyLife]

I will have to try that

[@Artyama]

I don't carry steel poles when I go into the back country

[@OutdoorsMyLife]

Most people don't, but if you have them there use them, they won't burn

[@philupdegrave731]

I like this configuration. If you pitch your shelter near (but not too near) the low end of the ramp, then at least some heat will be reflected by the ramp into your shelter. Worth a try.

Thanks

is the wooden floor is made up there already? Nice spot for camping

[@OleksandrYushchuk8]

The fire will burn continuously if one log constantly heats another.
In your case, at the end of the video, the fire goes out because the bottom log is not heated by the other log.
For example, when I'm on a hike, I often make a fire from two logs that lie side by side at opposite ends. As the logs burn, I move them towards each other (they are always nearby) and they do not go out.
The fire burns like this for a long time, until the logs run out. Rather, in this case it is a red heat, not a flame. If I need to heat water or cook food, I add thin branches inside and immediately have a flame.
I'm sorry if I wrote something unclear, I'm writing through a translator.

I think it’s sometimes called a spoke fire, like the spokes of a wheel, a self feeding fire should last forever if you keep adding logs, but you would have to be there to keep adding logs

[@Goodwill_Hunter]

You have to constantly feed with smaller wood, or all you will get is a smoldering fail.

[@OutdoorsMyLife]

Not if your wood is dry enough

[@Goodwill_Hunter]

@OutdoorsMyLife right, but this fire did not burn for 6 hours and only burn 1 log. Thus style is not a good choice for all night survival.

[@brotherlou-e]

Well

[@OutdoorsMyLife]

Thanks
