twig fire & teapot setup... my way!

[bushcraftmyway]

sometimes all you need is a small twig fire, just enough to boil a cup of water and heat up your cold fingers; it sure was enough for me today.

i just wanted a quick, hot cup of chocolate; i had my esbit stove with me (i almost allways do), but i choosed not to use it. i lit a small fire and used a very simple support for my teapot - i never saw anybody else to do it, so i think it might be of interest... here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hs_M4aEE4KE . enjoy! :D

I'm a big fan of small fires. A small fire warms you, cooks for you and doesn't need as much tending and if stacked right at night can easily be re-kindled in the morning.

A large fire is great for a group as long as the group gathers the fuel!

You tube hasn't made this video available for mobile users ! :(

Nice one, good idea. :)

I've used 3 large nails before with hexi blocks underneath rather than wood. It works well enough. :)

another great video, a nice a quick set up for a quick brew and a bit of warmth. :You_Rock_

It is generally not used as if you needed heat for longer than the twig burn for you risk a self extinguishing fire and no brew at all.
