Winter Bushcraft - Wall of Fire - Surviving Freezing Cold
#bushcraft #camping #survival
Out in snow and ice for some hiking and bushcraft. Been waiting for cold enough weather to try this idea of a long fire. A bit hard to get going but got there eventually. It was so warm I had to move back a bit. First time ever I opened up the sleeping bag in 20 below because I was too hot. Second night I slept out on the ice. Flat ground is heaven for me in this area but when the wind picked up at 5 am I had to get going. It was too cold.
I present my sleep system in this video. Other than that I have a Norwegian mountain pack, biltema pot, ACME cold handle pan, Hultafors Åby axe, Mora Garberg knife, Trangia triangle, Trangia lantern no 83, Lundhags boots, Fjällräven anorak, Hestra work gloves, aklima liners, Bahco sawblade for my bucksaw, light my fire army 2.0 fire steel. Note that the reflective windscreen cover needs to be placed on top of the sleeping pad, directly under the sleeping bag. When I set up the sleep system it looks like I placed it under the sleeping pad. It was just temporary because the wind tried to blow it away when I shot the scene.
Thanks for watching!

Greetings my Brother from Northern Utah in the U.S. It’s 5 in the Morning and the temperature is 2 degrees Fahrenheit (-16.667 degrees C). Fortunately or rather (unfortunately) I’m in a long term heath care facility [Day 116] due to severe fall and subsequent infection. Dr.’s have managed to save the leg so far, but my days of extended hiking and wilderness camping appear to be over. At 71 years old I thought I had a few more years left. We’ll see. Keep on going my Brother-let’s me still get some enjoyment-if only from watching!
Never give up!
Get well soon.
Prayers for a speedy recovery friend,ALB from Bear River Wyoming!
Sending healing prayers 🙏🙏🙏 hope you get better soon.
@@BEARivrman81356 Love your area! Usually attend Ft. Bridget Rendezvous. I’m over Logan Canyon and slightly south. And Thank you!
I have watched literally hundreds if not thousands of survival vids over the last 5 yrs and this vid on building a fire log best illustrates what to do for a long term sustained heat source. Thank you for taking the time and effort to produce this.
immaculate snow covered woods, making short work of fire & a hot meal always love your winter scenes thank you Swedwoods
Thanks!
Deep respect for you. Thank you again for making these video’s and sharing them with us🙏🏼
Thanks!
in my opinion you are the leader in capturing the essence of winter. i can feel the cold and the wind even as i sit by my warm wood stove.
Thank you very much!
Always calming to watch. I always learn something. Thanks again Woodsman!
Thanks!
It was amazing to have seen this video and all the stuff you needed to last a few days in the woods. Thank you for sharing this video for all to see.
Thanks!
The sound is the best thing about this video
Always a pleasure to watch. Especially the snowfall filmed by the drone.
That beef was so tender, wow! And the spreader bar idea for the poncho shelter, pure genius, my friend.
Thank you!
Loved the Wall of Fire! Could have shown even more footage of rotating the logs and just that wonderful FIRE. Mesmerizing! Your videos are better than medication for blood pressure, I can feel my heart rate lower and get such a deep sense of relaxation. Your channel should get a Seal of Approval from the WHO for therapeutic purposes. As I sit in Kuwait City, I can dream of cold weather sleeping until I get home to the Redwoods! Thank you, my friend.
Thank you my friend!
In a word…. MAGNIFICENT! Thank you!
Thanks!
Thank you for the gear list - I'm sure I'm not the only one who has been wondering!
This is real winter. Not what we have down south.😊
Ohh jaaa, hier in old Germany auch nicht so strong cold Winter wie momentan in Sweden.Brrrrr.....
Thanks for sharing the Wall of Fire! Something new to try on my next Winter camp!
Thanks for watching!
Your videos do not disappoint and this one is no exception. The minimal items you bring means you are not always fussing instead of enjoying your surroundings which I appreciate. Thanks for all the beautiful winter shots, including overhead from the drone. (Glad to see you not limping. Hope your foot is feeling better.)Wish you health, contentment and prosperity in all endeavors for 2024.
Thank you very much!
Wow! Thanks for letting us experience this from our warm and comfortable couches.
Thanks!
Really great program! As an older man in my 70's I have a whole new appreciation of winter camping in the way you do it. I love the simplicity of your approach in all aspects including your gear. For me the winter has always been a difficult time but this has opened my eyes and heart to see the beauty and magic of this time. Really enjoyed this!!
Thank you!
Yes! Great Saturday viewing thanks
Thanks!
You are (by far) the BEST bushcraft and survival channel on KZhead! 😀
Thank you very much!
Wall of fire GREAT SOUNDS!
Souvenir de mes nuits sur la neige. Ce long feu est certainement la meilleure façon de se garder au chaud, merci pour la superbe démonstration.
You are a badass mate!
타닥 타닥~ 불소리 너무 좋아요!
thank you for your content, as always ❤
That crunch of frozen snow!
My friend, what a beautiful and kind person you are. We adore life for your wonderful presence among us. You are a person who deserves to live on this flat earth. ⚘️❤
U mean planet earth
expert-level bushcraft with beautiful footage of the harsh conditions; good seeing you back on the trail
Thanks!
Классная смена дублей. Ну не разгорелось, так не разгорелось - вокруг костер сложим :-)
There is a lot of effort in this video. As someone who shoots videos in the same style, I know how difficult this is.❤❤
Thanks!
Agree 100%. Very hard work Swedish people 👌🥶
Hi everybody! Stay Blessed. Brandon Boise, Idaho. 😎
Beautiful! But it's -37 degrees F tonight, I think I'll watch the rest when it's warmer.😂🥶👏
I am in NYC, rain, 58 degrees and am laid up in bed with a cold. Hopefully that’s all it is as I have had Covid 2x. Great video as always ❤
I'm happy to see we have the same taste not only in outdoor activities but in NOODLES, Samyang Spicy Flavour ftw!
Fantastic images, fantastic ladscapes. Really fantastic video. Thanks a lot for sharing. 👍😉
Thank you very much!
FANTASTISCH two
It’s -21° F and snowing like crazy here in the Colorado mountains. I could sure use one of those walls of fire right now! Great video as always!
Dang and here I am in -5° F (SE Washington) thinking brrr. Get that campfire going brohams!
Thanks!
Here I am in 60 degree weather in Louisiana! What a life aye lol.
You caught that storm front that went around us. We’re in a high Mountain valley in Northern Utah.
Thank you so much again for your adventures and tips for survival. Good luck to you and your family for this new year 2024
Thanks!
So beautiful a scenery of snow in Sweden and such a lonely Swedish wanderer! Thanx for the video, mate.
Thank you!
I think being able with Mother Earth and nature, will regains our energies to carry on our mechanical life. I think everyone needs this type break
2024. Szczęśliwego Nowego Roku! Stan mojej stopy uległ całkowitej poprawie 😊👍 Niezły bushcraft!
Thanks!
میں آپ کی ویڈیوز کا بہت ہی بے صبری سے انتظار کرتا ہوں بہت ساری محبت پاکستان سے❤
Thanks!
I like the car sunshade idea that is very cool
Wall of Fire! What a creative idea!
I really enjoyed the thoughts you add to the log fire, and the shot of the snow blowing on the ice.
Thank you very much!
Thank you Swedwoods, another great vidio.
Thanks!
silent…Beautiful...😊
I nedded this video right today to get better mood. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
That wall of fire is great! I'll have to try that, next time I'm out where it can be used. Only thing to be careful of is, if using it as a heat source while sleeping, that it doesn't burn through the retaining stakes. Having a pile of burning logs roll into bed with you is certainly one way to prevent you from getting your beauty sleep! 😎 Seriously, having a couple of 'safety stakes' driven between you and it to catch any that might roll can make it safer. Good idea!
Im here for the military surplus gear. Just think all the first cold war equipment is still good to use for the second cold war 🤔 Norway 🇳🇴 Sweden 🇸🇪 Poland 🇵🇱 Germany 🇩🇪 Britain 🇬🇧 ect..
Thank you for cold and beautiful video. The impressive scene, Swedwoos is waiting for hitting a fish into the ice hole against the sun. The sun seems a sunflower. That's shining beautifully.
Thank you very much!
Thank you another stellar adventure. Your videography is always beautifully surreal, and this was no exception. Your talents amaze me.
Glad to have seen a REAL firewall for once.
The freezing cold is crazy right now. Here in Washington State (USA) it got down to -9 F today, insane for this part of the world.
I'm on the West side; got down to 12F two nites ago.
The scenery is so beautiful! The temperature doesn't drop that much in Japan! It looks cold!
In Canada we cannot pound stakes into the ground in January, could not pound steel pegs in after November. We have been using the wall method since 2010. It is great to reflect the heat back. Have to maintain a distance of about 10 feet. Do not need to wear gloves or button up our coats. I like your idea of getting the fire going between the logs. We use dead Mistletoe to get the fire going, that stuff is in great abundance in our forest in North Saskatchewan Canada. also agree that dead standing is better for getting going. Thanks for your work.
Thanks for that.
Incredible as always!
Thanks!
He cooks better in the wild than me at home 😂
Thank you! I love your videos, they're so engrossing. Thank you
Thanks!
あなたの動画のお陰で僕もキャンプ好きになりました! 素敵な動画をいつもありがとう!

Drone shot in the snow was awesome 👍🏻
People enjoying this video, is it because watching this man suffer makes you appreciate your room/house and be happier? Btw, gotta give this man a like for his hard work

Thanks!
@@Swedwoods 👍✊✊✊
Thank you for this video. Excellent firelay!
What brutal conditions! I camped out a few nights ago in 11F/-11C to test some gear but I was in the woods near my house, not on a frozen lake! Incredible! Food as always looked delicious. You work that lavvu like no one else. So we have the Siberian log fire, the long fire and now the TALL fire 😂😂😂.
Well done Swede, seeing that sausage and roll made my mouth water. I do love me some sausages.
I was getting so cold watching your video, thanx for this experience …., great again !
Thanks!
Haha, I loved your little flick to put out the match!
Greetings from Cornwall England. I love watching your videos, super detail and inspiration, just wish we had some of your weather.
Loved the idea of wood at back of poncho. Very creative! And damn that meat just fell apart. Thanks again swedwood 😊
Thank you!
Man, I got cold watching this vid. 🥶🥶
🍀🙂 muita neve , e boa comida com um show de camping🍳🍴🚙
If I ever am lost in the wilderness with someone, forget Bear Grylls... You would be top of my list! LOL! Beautiful video as always my friend!
I love yalls videos butt I like them a lot better when you talk!😊
You go through a lot of misery and even boredom to bring us your videos and to seek your best images of nature.
Another wonderful winter adventure! Thank you very much for the beautiful film of such a beautiful place.
Very amazing greetings from Asia
Super movie. I love the sound of the wind in the winter forest. When it's -24 there's no joke. Greetings from Poland, welcome
Thanks!

Hello from Siberian, Russia
Привет братец С новым годом:) Ждали выхода нового фильма всем семейством. Творческих открытий тебе!!!😊
Thanks!
Absolutely brilliant 😊
Thanks!
Hey Swede! That was a chilling experience just watching. Fire wall worked good it seems. No thanks, not sleeping on a frozen lake, frozen sand is bad enough. I knew there would be noodles😋 Nicely done, surprised no electronic malfunctions in this one, happens. Happy 2024, great start. See ya next time.
you know this stuff dude 🙌👏🏻👍
and glad it`s all over ! ;))
Greets from Brasil, very warm here!🙂
Great video , it takes courage to do bushcraft at this very cold temperatue ! Thank you and a hello from France
Thank you!
As expected, great videography and bushcraft skills. Well done!
Thank you!
😂 makes me laugh, here in England they make a big deal on the weather reports with names like the beast from the east, were lucky if the snow lasts more than a night. Great video and good skills as always.👍🏻
Thanks!
I have to get out to Pennsylvania’s wilderness areas! You are truly inspirational!
Thank you!
Endlich wieder ein neues Video, vielen Dank!
Thanks for watching!
_Epic!_ Such stark beauty... _and_ Tabasco sauce!
Thanks my friend!
ice and snow, I like it ❤❤
Great video.Loved the snowing drone footage.
Thanks!
