Starting the Fire With the Finnish Style - No Survival Tricks 

I swear if you didn't know his height he could be mistaken for a forest gnome.

I assumed the finnish style included yelling "Perkele!" A whole bunch untill the wood spontaneously combusted.

Only clicked because of the mustache. Extremely magnificent.

thx for sharing your fun. I like it as well.

Greetings from BC, Canada. This is a very good video, thank you. I shave sticks like you do with a puukko or old Sami Leuku in winter. I also own and use Billnas Axes which I like very much. It is funny to hear a Finnish Man say 'Cowboy Coffee' when you live close to the Sami People who have a rich tradition and rituals around drinking coffee. I was born and lived many years in England, but three generations back my ancestors are Sami from the North of Finland. I will look at more of your videos...happy adventures friend, WS

Beautiful video. Very inspiring. I'm going to practice this.

Your videos have made a leap in quality recently. Good stuff.

You are so sympathic … I like your Tutorials very much… Hoping that you don ´t feel ashamed as I was told that Finns can ´t handle compliments… or at least aren ´t used to deal with it… :-) Looking forward to watching your next Videos … :-). Greetings from Germany from an Austrian Lady :-)

Love the quality of your recent videos! Also found some similarities in both of our styles of making fire, cos I too always make square shaped "foundation" and use tinder made out of wood (or bark) itself not using paper or stuff brought with me - with or course the exception of the fire steel or matches. I still do things differently as I usually start the fire from underneath the wood and I also skip doing the feathers, cos I have always found it working to prepare thin and fine wood to be placed as the bottom layer underneath everything else just above the tinder. From up there the wood gets thicker layer by layer, so they ignite each other. I always try to prepare the fire so that I only have to use one matchstick per fire.

nice video mate. I like that you used matches. That being said I personally would have used flint and steel, simply because it is my favourite method of lighting fires.

Great video very enjoyable 👍

Fuel , combustion and air......I use a carabineer for my leuku's.......you build a fire 🔥 our philosophies are so similar , I subscribed ! Thanks , Grizz 🐻

Love it

Your Axe, Knife and Beard are EPIC 🤘

Very nice knife

Hyvä!! Bra! Great!!!

Samaa mieltä tosta sanomalehden roudaamisesta tulipaikoille👍. Monta kertaa ihmetellyt miten ihmisiltä on nuotion sytytystaidot unohtunut kokonaan.

Tosi kiva, kiitos :)

Huomenta! Great watching your video. Reminded me of last summer when I was near Jyväskylä. I was really interested in the wood feathering technique as I've always found using paper overly smokey when starting fires. I look forward to trying this next time. Greetings from Australia!

10 mind in and still waiting for Finnish!

Tonttu perkele!! 👍

👍👍👍

I wish I spoke Finnish. My mother is Finnish, Hakala is her maiden name and we also have some Heikenens in our family. She didn’t speak English until school.

In the US we call this an upside down fire [ small wood on top of the bigger wood] and feathersticks. would like to see ya lite that with a regular match in the wind?

Hey! Really love your channel! One thing: Is it allowed to use gas stoves anywhere in Finland (national park, forest)? And where in Helsinki we can use fire stoves (Hobo stoves)?

It all depends on the coffee you use but if you use fine ground coffee, i put 2 "handfuls" for one cup, it makes somewhat regular coffee, leaning towards stronger than milder. I let it sit there for about 20 mins or so too, keeping it warm with the help of few coals or just by placing it near the fire (just don't let it boil).

In the US--at least in the South (which doesn't need the warmth of a fire that often, admittedly), we would stack the wood, but start it AT THE BOTTOM, since the heat and flames go upward, bringing the rest of the firewood into play. Does starting it at the top offer some advantages that I am not aware of?

Nätti parta :b

Could you do another video with wet wood, in minus 20? More challenging,but you seem that you could do that?!

Tiiäks mikä kasvi tai puu kasvattaa ruskeita hernekotelon tapasia koteloita mis on siemeniä 3-5 sisäl ja siemenet ku hajottaa nii siel on silkin tapast tavaraa sisäl ja se syttyy hyvin kipinäst. Ne ruskeet kotelot on pienempiä ku noi vihreet hernekotelot

Missä tää on kuvattu?

Hi. Any survivalist close to Helsinki? I'm planning a couple of day trip outdoor, on 27/28 of May 2022

Do you speak spoken Finnish??

I can see why there aren't many people subscribed
