Re: Tricks for fire on top of deep snow

Where I walk there is mostly twisted low birces. I use to find a dead tree, about 10 cm (4 inces) in diameter. It is of no comsequence if the tree is wet. This I cut in 4 logs, aprox the length from fingertip to albow. Fix them parallell into the snow. On top of that i put dry wood, first coarse then smaller. On top of all this I make the fire. This firemethod will last for 3-4 hours without burning down into the snow.

I use this method in the summer too, if there is no used fireplace near by that I can reuse. Makes less burnmarks in the nature.
