How to Keep One Log Burning for Hours

There’s nothing like a good old fashioned camping trip.

There’s just something about getting out in nature, breathing the fresh air and sleeping under the stars.

Still, I hate to admit it, but there are a few things about camping that I find…less than fun. Such as having to continually stoke the fire and add more logs to keep it going.

It gets old after a while.

But believe it or not, there is a way to keep a fire burning longer…sometimes up to two or three hours! It’s called a Swedish Torch.

To learn how to make one, check out the video below.
