Relaxing Campfire Build on Snow

Here is some footage that I used in my welding blanket video, but only the fire-building part, and at actual speed. No talking, just fire on snow.

This is a graphic example of how little prep work is needed when starting a fire on the welding blanket. I used some commercial tinder and a little birch bark to light it off, but the stuff on my left was just a collection of small dead branches and bark scavenged from under nearby trees and dumped in a random pile on the snow. Everything except my tinder was a little damp, but not enough to make it too challenging. At the point where I stopped, I could have easily continued building the fire up with larger pieces until it produced a substantial amount of heat.

When I finished I simply folded up the welding blanket and put it back in my pack for the next time. From now on it will always be part of my standard gear.
