How To Make a Swedish Torch / Schwedenfackel / Canadian Candle

Video showing how to make a simple swedish torch from a single log, kindling and dry grass as tinder. I use a fire steel and striker for added bushcraft appeal but bring out a motorised helper toward the end of the video to please viewers who like to see a bit of technology.
This type of fire delivers very focused heat and lasts a very long time. It is ideal for cooking on as provided the log is large it should be very stable for supporting a pot or pan.
The log used in this video was a from a spruce tree which I felled about a year ago so the wood was extremely dry and burned well.
