In the US, I guess? Over here these are all called candles, 'cos of how they burn, and a "bush stove" would imply some kind of gas burner or twig-burning _contraption,_ 'know? :)
In every video, be it on self defense, cooking, DIY or quantum physics, there must be gratuitous cleavage shots. People who aren't attractive or don't want to show off their bodies just don't get to share their knowledge. It's the Internet Boobs Law.
It actually is hard work to maintain a regular, high output, reasonable quality video channel. If you think it isn't, then why not make a go of it yourself? Money is money after all.
It must be exceedingly difficult to dangle titties, and pretend to do things. Like the way you’re over here pretending to know what running a marginally successful social media account is like.
Every successful video channel I know of that I’ve had the chance to see a bit behind the scenes has a TEAM of people behind it. Videos, whether good, bad or between take a lot of work. Filming is the easy part.
I know enough people with enough millions of subscribers to know how hard it is to keep a video channel going, and over a decade of professional experience in videogames, including working with community outreach and influencers. I don't claim to be a foremost expert on the matter, but I've been about a bit and I know a thing or two.
Like I said, go ahead and try it yourself. If you succeed, good on you.
It's still pretending to do other work. This is especially eye-rolling with chores or hard labor that takes a lot out of you when performed regularly. Not comparable to maintaining some entertainment channel at all.
Orginally it was made by using an auger, but after chainsaws became more common, the slit version became more popular. Either way, it's very good for cooking stuff.
Swedish candle is basically a log with a hole down the middle and airflow into it, by any of a number of means, originally drilling straight to the bottom. It's basically just a rocket stove that consumes itself. The post, your comment, or just drilling straight through are all variations of it.
I've also seen it done with an axe, just by splitting a log, quartering the larger split, then stripping out a strip of wood along one of the central corners of a quarter, then tying the pieces back together with string.
"this is not what it looks like or what it is called"... ever wondered that maybe the thing you are thinking is a different thing? In Finland the thing you posted is jätkänkynttilä aka "dude's candle" or logger's candle.
Also, while you didn't necessarily imply: According to the Finnish forest museum Lusto Swedish torch was invented by Finns in northern Finland. It was made by loggers to warm up and make food.
We used to slits when camping for smaller logs, where you dont the the flame needed or if, the hole is to big for a longer fire. For the bigger ones, we did like she did in the clip. never came to us to add some branches as a pot holder. (Also its a litte bit dependend of the Tools.)
Indeed dependent on the tools - you can also make one with nothing but an axe, simply by splitting the log, carving out the middle and an air hole at the bottom, and putting it back together.
I've never had access to a bucked up logs while camping, and I'm not bucking one up with an axe. There are dozens of different gadgets to sit pots/pans on at your camp fire, or you can just sit some close together. For actual cooking while camping you don't really need anything more than sticks to burn anyways.
Yeah, it just depends on what tools and materials are at hand. These days most people make log candles with a chainsaw, same as felling the tree to begin with, and that's where the crosscut design is the most convenient. But if you're out in the woods, are settling down for a day or two, and are in a situation where you can fell a tree, doing this with an axe is feasible and sometimes worth it (and easier than doing the thick crosscuts with a handsaw, too).
I'm still a fan of just using a plain old trivet. You can get all kinds, ranging from big heavy ones to light weight folding ones. I usually bring a squirrel cooker, a trivet, pot, and frying pan. That'll let you cook just about anything.
Whereas in English, a "hobo stove" is made from a tin can. Crazy how language do that, right? Maybe depression era drifters up here had easier access to logs than to tin cans, or something.
Yeah, allegedly because it was used by Swedish soldiers in the Thirty Years War. Personally I'd _guess_ it was more probably invented at some point in prehistory as a derivative of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campfire#Rakovalkea by the Saami.
It doesn't look very derivative of a rakovalkea, unless I badly misunderstand one or the other. It's just a rocket stove that eats itself. The rokovalkea seems entirely different in construction, intention, and purpose.
They're slow burning, self-feeding, self-fanning fires made of whole logs that concentrate the heat and shield themselves from the wind, used for heat, light and cooking, the main difference being the orientation of the fuel logs and the tools used to make the more modern forms of the candle; both also originate from the same region and the same peoples, and AFAICT the rakovalkea is attested earlier (e.g. in Olaus Magnus).
In Finland it's called Jätkänkynttilä (Lumberjacks candle). Orginally it was made from dried up pine tree, as the tar makes it burn long time and in any weather.
Nope. The name is really old, and comes from lumberjacks. Dude is a newer word. It would also lose meaning as that was a source of warmth used by lumberjacks, not dudes.
Not really. You can google "dude" and find out it is a word from late 19th century (denoting a dandy): probably shortened from doodle, perhaps with allusion to Yankee Doodle Dandy.. Tukkijätkä on the other hand is earlier, about mid 19th century. Dandys were men who were highly groomed and didn't have a use for jätkänkynttilä, lumberjacks on the other hand had.

that is not a Finnish Candle it is, a bush stove, Finnish candle of loggers firelog is usually a log with a X sawed to half way and light

That's if you make it with a chainsaw. This is how you make it with an auger, an older way from before there were chainsaws and just as authentic.

RustyRedbeard
I'm not attractive enough for those sorts of tools, I'll have to use a battery drill.

The benefit of using the hand drill is the hole at the top is the same width as the drill bit. That's why the 3 pegs fit so well.
KungFuFlounder
a lot of work to manually drill those holes, you'd be good and hungry by the time you were able to use it.
