Swedish Fire Torch = One Slick Camping Hack

Swedish Fire Torch = One Slick Camping Hack

Items needed to make the Swedish Fire Torch

The tinder, which is what will catch a flame and initiate the fire, should be placed at the top of the torch and may also be placed intermittently between the kindling.  The heat, ashes and flames of the tinder will, once lit, drop down onto the lower layers, causing them to also ignite.  This, in turn, will act to set fire to the four quarters of the split log.  The tinder can be lit using a spark from a striker, or a flame if using a lighter or match.

Once the fire has been started, air is able to freely circulate within, due to the gaps between the split log, providing oxygen to the flames.  Once established, the fire can burn freely without any further attention. – smartbushcraft.com
