Video Transcription

hello everybody and welcome to survivor Russia and welcome to another survival tip they want to show you how to burn freshly cut firewood but let's get down to the water's edge and set up the cameras also I have a little announcement by the end of the video so stay tuned what we have here some small sticks that's too big okay we have some little bit larger closer no way you have some bigger ones and they're gonna make the fire for this method you need a lot of birch bark I hold on a birthmark accident the firewood is fresh fresh fresh fresh I know because I harvested it myself but what is worth knowing is that for midwinter up until early early spring the perch here will be extremely dry when cut and that is the whole point here I was not be there will not be a whole lot of moisture in the wood it's possible to burn it if you make the right preparations and in most things your life this everything is in the preparations right I put in a picture here of the firewood and so on it's just whole trunks I just caught it up and see if you can find a dog in the picture as well while I'm making this stuff here did you find the dog but yeah we need first park and you need quite a lot of it because the trick is to make it on heat to actually start trying these fine sticks that will put on in a second I think this order to now we will take the larger ones put on top here some more of the thinner waters because it simply just about getting the fire going and get the first part will burn so hot that it will start to dry out this stuff here while burning and then we can move on to the bigger ones here this method is really good to exit if you are stranded in your car somewhere in a birch rich environment you'll of course always have a saw and then X and so on in your car if you're driving through some wild country without many people birch bark is awesome as you can see the midwinter and end up winter early spring you can burn it right off the tree if you do it correctly of course with relatively with firewood it will generate less heat but it will still generate a whole lot of heat compared to being in sub-zero temperatures both of the fire still from the quite huge amount of first part of course being a windy day of course helps a lot

bubbling so now we can say all the bird park have stopped burning and you can see now burning myself if you don't keep feeling this fire with the mistakes that you have prepared that will eventually die out is not dry at all but it's dry enough it's just dry enough to burn so freshly caught birds can actually save your life in a time period where it matters the most midwinter too late winter very early autumn you just need to do the road preparations so the announcement is about that I'm going on a sweet a hunting trip one in two days time or something like that so you most likely not see me for the next this small week or so the hunting trip I think is going to be relatively hot because we're going to hike 17 kilometers through the forest into a swarm the area where we have a shelter and so on and yeah let's see how that goes so please share and like the video subscribe check the links in the description and as always get out and train get it done see you next time here in Russia
