Follow these easy steps to learn how you can start a self-feeding flame. Learn how to make a self-feeding flame. Bob Hansler shows how to create a tinder flame and how to keep it burning. This video will show you how to make a great fire in no time.
Setting up a self-feeding fire
A self-feeding stove is a great way of keeping a campfire lit for long periods. The regular campfire should be maintained by adding new wood every now and again, but a self feeding fire does not require any additional wood. By creating air pockets within the logs, this will keep the fire burning strong.
Maintaining an even flame on a fire for self-feeding
Self-feeding fires are great for survival situations. They require minimal maintenance. Logs can eat from both sides of the fire. Logs cannot be directly supported by embers so they serve as heat reflectors when they aren't burned. To ensure an even fire, logs should be placed next to each other with spacer sticks in between. Because they don't burn, self-feeding fires make it safe for children.
Change the time between self-feeding fires
Changing the burn time duration of a campfire is an easy way to extend its use. Self-feeding fires can be used for up to fourteen hours, which can be beneficial in survival situations. For an even longer burn time, you should load up two ramps across from one another, and place equal-sized logs in each one. Spacer sticks placed between logs can help ensure an even flame and good ventilation.
You can cook over using a self cooking fire.
If you want to use a campfire to cook over, you should consider using a self-feeding fire. This type fire lasts longer than traditional upright fires and can be fed with fuel at will. Two ways to make this fire are using long branches at an angled and a base layer of rocks. The layers should be at 45 degrees. The base layer will serve as a ramp for logs.
Use a self feeding fire to light a fire in a scout shelter.
A bow drill is one of the tools you can use to light a self feeding fire. These devices can focus sunlight onto small fuel surfaces. They should be strong and clear to create the perfect conditions for a fire. Your binoculars, camera or even your phone can serve as a lens. A bow drill is a simple tool that requires a plank of pine wood, a pointy stick and a length of string (such a shoelace).
