"Swedish" fire torches have been around for a good long while, ideal in many situations... particularly on snow or light wind conditions. That particular one burned for a solid 3 hours prior to collapse and reverting to a "normal" fire.
The best bet is wet or fresh fallen wood for a long burn. Cut 7 or 8 2.5' to 4.5' lengths and one shorter piece (8" to 12") for the middle. It's easier with 2 people, one to hold all the lengths in a circle around the shorter center log and one to tie it together with paracord. The trick is to build it in the fire pit, tie it then place rocks around it to hold it together, this also helps protect the paracord from burning and premature collapse (I hate it when that happens). You then simply use some tender and start a fire in the middle (earlier pics show my buddy Karl applying petroleum jelly soaked cotton balls that burn plenty long to start almost any fire "AKA Karl's magic flaming balls"). Then just add small bits of wood to keep it going. These things create their own chimney and radiate heat like crazy! Tall ones chug like a steam locomotive when they are first lit, pretty entertaining. Here's a smaller version from a couple years back: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1527260468.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1527260468.jpg |

Love the hawk with rodent pic, Jolly! Was just outside giving Winkipop a bath and noticed out of the corner of my eye that my resident Osprey had returned. He loves this perch to dry his feathers after a day of fishing.

Thanks Baz, That is a local aircraft salvage yard we have in Sacramento. Nice guy who owns it. It’s cool to poke around with a flashlight and find that one item you need. It’s the same salvage yard Mythbusters got their stuff from for the shows. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b7213dfd8f.jpg Saw this on the road, same year as my dad’s except I was able to reregister period correct plates. Looks more legit Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

If there are any Disney fans on the Forum and you would like your noggin filled with true Walt history, then I recommend the “Walt Disney Family Museum” located in S.F. At the Presidio. Not affiliated with the Disneyland/DisneyWorld Corp, but the family. They also offered an additional exhibit on the “Nine Old Men”, the nine original animators with the films.
Not a museum to hold small kids attention but a great wealth of facts on how he got his start dating back to his great grand parents. From his childhood, war, several failed starts and crooks. If you like reading and watching/listening good exhibits, plan on a lot of time. We arrived a couple of hours after they opened and we felt like we rushed to get through by the time of closing at 6:00PM. Limited on areas pictures could be taken and no flash is allowed, so odd colored pictures are a direct result. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2789bbb8c5.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...cb42579f76.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...601a67ce8f.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1f30f81ac4.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c2f40c1c25.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7c9edab38a.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ae107d7a67.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
