Swedish fire

I haven't tried it, but supposedly, you can have an upside down fire burn for well over 24 hours if you pack dirt in the cracks.

I hope I don't sound disrespectful, but that video doesn't have captions, and I'd love to know what he's saying. Not trying to be ugly....just FYI.

It has automatic captions. Click on the CC, then on. Some of the words are off, but hopefully understandable?

Anyways, it's basically making an upside down fire (pyramid) and packing dirt in between the logs to keep the coals from falling into the cracks. They made a teepee lay on top to light and start the coals. They claim to have had theirs last for about 40-42 hours.

Maybe it's the iPad I'm using, but I can't find the caption option.

I fixed the pic...I think. At least it's working at the moment. I would think the trick on that thingy is the angle of the logs. It would seem to me if they were too vertical you'd have a dandy bonfire. If they were too flat then they wouldn't move down. What ever I did it would be wrong at the worst possible time. And....I've been known to use a wee bit of gas or alcohol to start a fire from time to time. You can't cheat in the woods. It's all good.

Here's a couple of examples of overnight fires.

We have made a couple of those around the river playing some pond hockey great for warming the hands up and great for in the snow bank like others have mentioned.
