A few questions:
1. Who made the tarp?
The tarp is made by Tschum in Germany. I am using an early prototype - here is the final version
2. Why dig the fireplace and why add sand?
Fire safety. It has been dry for a while leading up to this trip. In this area is there no larger stones, only sand.
3. Why use wood between the cord and tree (for setting up the tarp)?
Protects the tree. A canvas tarp is heavy and regular cord (like I am using in the video) will cut into the bark and no guarantee the tree will recover.
4. What did you use for making fire?
Flint, homemade fire steel and homemade amadou tinder. Here is how I made it
type of axe are you using?
A classic russian axe design. Homemade - C45 steel, sheath and handle made from ash.
6. What type of knife are you using?
A classic nordic knife, globally mainly referred to by the finnish name Puukko. Homemade - spring steel and birch burl handle. Here is how I made it
7. Why make the wall next to the fire?
Protects the fire from wind and reflects some heat. It is offen referred to as a “firereflector“.
8. Why heat the spruce branches before using them to tie the fire reflector?
Fire burns off the sharp points of the spruce needels... The heat also makes it easier to twist the branches into “rope“.
9. How long does it take to cook a duck like that over the fire?
2-4 hours.
10. Why do you sometimes hit with the side of the axe instead of the poll?
Keeps the cutting edge away from your face and the larger surface area makes you less likely to miss. I usually use the side of the axe in the beginning (when things can be unstable and or I don’t need to hit hard).
11. What is you’re kuksa/drinking cop made from?
Birch burl.
12. Can I buy an axe, knife etc. from you?
No.
13. Why sometimes the black smoke from the campfire?
Fatwood - most of the pine tress in this area is full of resin/fatwood.
