Dude was streaming and he wondered if he could do anything interesting with a tree stump after chopping down a tree. I remembered reading something about stump stoves way back when. Google came up with a bunch of variations. Some basic tools and you get a long lasting fire, a stove, maybe some charcoal and then the stump’s pretty much gone. Survivalist gold?
Me and my Pa used to make these. Good Times
Swedish torch method? All you need is an axe and/or a saw (plus tinder/kindling).
I actually really like this. The Swedish torch method seems doable with basic tools like an “innawoods” character would have. And just having anything rain resistant without needing to build a wood stove or fireplace would be awesome.
So many useful primitive skills people don’t know these days.
After being stationed in Alaska for 5 years, part of a Task Force specializing in Artic Warfare, I will never again take for granted the ability to stay warm.
It can get cold here
