Every fucking Dumb Fuck Australian Man making a video on PooTube said, "Lets copy the Abbos" - with fire drills etc., etc., etc.. Or they were using sparking rods etc., etc., etc..

But NONE of them showed how to actually LIGHT the fire - by assembling a STACK of things like a ball of news paper, a big handfull of very fine twigs and even then a hand full of slightly thicker stuff and then a bit thicker stuff etc., so the very fine fast burning material, lights the thicker stuff and then that lights up the thicker stuff... and how to design fires for a single pot / pan, or a slow burner to sleep close too on a icy night, or a jolly good fire to warm up a crowd of people in a freezing location...

This correlates with this: https://www.mgtow.tv/v/2vCejT

Also notice that he is very economical with materials - when your life depends upon very efficient use of materials, this is a good way to build a fire and keep all your resoruces lasting a long time...

Where as the dumb fucks will be building huge fires that burn up all their wood and then Pffff they have to start on the long trips to drag more back, from futher and further away.....

AND really small fires are good for cooking on, heating up water etc.. and they tend to use fuck all fuel.

When clean burning they also give off very little smoke and not a lot of smell... Unlike a big fire or a big BBQ...

For instance there was the smell of smoke in the air, and the air speed was 20 Kmh at ground level and because of the fragrances of all the burning materials, the amount of dilution etc., I was able to figure that there was about 4 or 5 houses burning along with 6 or so cars, and it was about 150 Kmh away...

And on the nightly news, I turned out to be right....

That is just from the smell that is carrying on the wind.

On a mild night with a slow moving wind - you can easily smell the odour of bacon and eggs frying from 10 K away....

So a small fire is almost smokeless - and does not give off a huge volume of smell and it's much harder to see especially at night.... more so if it's kept shielded from horizontal-ish viewing and it's light is not casting up into the trees above and or around....

Thanks for the video and agreed on many of those posters not showing some of the most important stuff to building and making a fire. Hell....I need to buy some stuff just in case I actually am forced off road and town/city.....if shit really hits the fan I'd likely be better off alone out in the woods so long as I get the damn material and equip' I need to be good for a long while.

Learning the art of keeping a fire low and slow and long lasting is one idea, and the other is to partly bury it to keep the coals slowly burning, you know how dead trees burn into the ground and their roots can open up the earth a way off, and then with a bit of breeze, the fire will flare up and start up again.... and then maybe spread.... It's little like underground fires in coal seams... Kind of like slow combustion stoves that are turned down LOW = almost no airflow, so the fire is ready to restart the next morning after idling all night.... same thing. Look up the air flow rates for slow combustion heaters and stoves.... IF you go for VERY high insulation in the combustion chamber, and using the exhaust gas to preheat the incoming air, I'll post some videos on making (wood) coke and converting black coal into coke for steel making...
