Survival Skills: Firemaking in Snow, Part 4
This video is the fourth in a five-part series focusing on firemaking in snowy, cold conditions using only backpacking equipment. It showcases the wilderness scenery, survival philosophy, gear observations, and the camaraderie between the host, his friend BuggetNuster, and Allie the Mountain Dog. The primary focus is the detailed process of creating a sustainable fire in challenging winter environments, highlighting the effort involved in wood preparation. Several knives, including the Ontario RTAK II, Ontario RAT-7, and KaBar Heavy Bowie, are used for processing wood, and the Sawvivor backpack saw is also featured. Fire tender methods using Trioxane solid fuel cake and REI Stormproof matches are demonstrated. The video emphasizes the practical challenges and rewards of wilderness fire preparation, with minimal editing to fully illustrate the "Nutnfancy winter firemaking method."
