That's a nice idea. The only issue I can see is that, one of the reasons for the swedish torch is that if you collect your wood in the wild the outside of the log is often damp where as the timber in the middle is usually bone dry, especially when using standing dead wood... Still great idea with the right bit of wood....

@@anthonyvincent6016 The Swedish Torch was designed to burn even freshly cut green timber, still with a high moisture content. The way it burns up the grain dries it out pretty quickly. The log I used was cut from a tree that had been laying for some time, other than splitting it the only other prep needed was to strip the bark from it.

I like that mate, this is a great concept and I have used the Swedish torch several times.

Another quick one, I would usually dig the hole a little deeper. I watched a video from Sigma 3 survival school, he said everyone was doing the Swedish torch wrong. We all have our own methods that work best for us. Easier to just show my method than try to explain it.

Also loses stability faster since the core is already hollow

It does stay pretty stable. I would normally dig the hole about three inches, so it sits in the ground. The weight of the log is in the centre, as that burns away there is very little weight of wood left for it to fall outward.

@@cujomojo Don't the tips start to bend in though? That's the first part that always goes for me, it burns away at teh top faster than the bottom so the top starts to cave in while the bottom remains stable/
