For any
of you who camp-out in the winter or anytime getting a campfire to burn all
night unattended is almost impossible or will take you getting out of a warm
sleeping bag to put more wood on the fire throughout the night. Well here's a
way to keep some heat and coals going all night without your attention. Check

demonstrates here how to make a campfire that will last all night with little
or no further maintenance beyond the initial phase. This fire lay (or a
variation) was a traditional fire used in the Scandinavian countries of Finland , Norway
and Sweden .
It was and is used as an all night fire lay for traditional type camping while
using open front shelters. It is known there as "Rakovalkea" or
"Nying". In English it would be known as possibly "gap
fire" or "long fire".
You know I'm going to want to try that now.
ReplyDeleteIn a couple weeks I will order a cord of wood for the upcoming winter and I'll ask for a couple un-split logs to try this on.
ReplyDeleteI know it will not provide much of a flame but the hot coals all night would be welcome heat.
Now if I can just get that to happen inside the woodstove in the house.
ReplyDeleteYou wood think by now with today's technologies someone would have a woodstove that could handle a double load of wood and control the burn to last 8-9 hours.
