when you have a large roll of duct tape. and know what to do. You use the saw edge of the shovel to cut five 10" long logs out of a dead standing 4" OD tree. You quarter split on of the logs and split off the sharp, dry interior corners. You can split the wood by starting saw kerfs on the ends of the logs, then baton wooden wedges into those kerfs. You convert the interior splits into shavings and feather sticks. You shave off the wet bark/wood 1/3rd of the way around the exterior of the 4 other logs. You use the snare wire to bundle those 4 logs, with the shaved sides towards the center of the bundle. you stuff the shavings into the center of the bundle. You take your coal, drop it into a nest made of narrow strips of tape. They flame up fast and hot. You take a roll of the tape and ignite one end. It burns hot, and lasts a long time. It will ignite the shavings in one end of the Alternative Swedish torch. Hold the bundle up, horizontal in the breezes, or fan it with your hat, untll flames come out of the other end of the Swede. then you set the swede upright, on 3 small stones or hunks of wood, so air can get under it. The swede swifly ignites the ends of the Siberian fire lay, even if it''s wet, especially if it's already charred and undercut by the previous fire you made with those logs.
Now, do you also need to know how to get the coal? You can do it with the flare, with the battery from the head lamp, with a big pump drill, by fire-rolling a strip of your shemagh, with rust from the shovel as an accellerant . bury your coals in the ashes and they will be re-ignitable for 12 hours.
