Hi, I am Thor, this is Skogfar, and today I am out in the forest
with two good friends. We got Erik from Ut i Naturskogen
and we got Kjetil that are Timber on the Trail
Today we will make a long log fire.
Welcome!
Here we can see Skogfar in all his splendor way out in the woods
while he is vigilant and well.
Why did you start with a dialect on your channel "Ut i Naturskogen"?
- Why? - Yes?
It just happened that way.
No thought behind it, it was a result of a mad man from norway meets crazy Icelander and spend to much time together.
Then these things occur.
It is brilliant. A lot of people quote your channel.
Celebrity in a very weird way.
Hiking-channels in Norwegian is very niche.
And since we are boys we are not that interesting for the media.
Are you a girl and been out just one day you can be invited to Good Morning Norway,
but we boys they don't think about at all.
A little bitter...
Kjetil is out testing the ice.
How is the ice?
It is congelation ice.
It is about this thick out there.
I think it will hold.
The trick is...
...you don't have to go so far out.
No, because it is a shallow out by the island,
and over there it becomes deeper...
If you try to fish on the ridge you will get fish.
It is a deep cull on the other side of the island, but I will not muck about there.
This will do!
It is a lot of small perch here.
This ice is thin along the shore.
Endurance much?
No, went up my stairs at home and got a high pulse.
Not in olympic shape...
We haven't hiked that much this year.
Reason is dry forest and very warm weather.
It ruined alot.
And I got a cold this autumn and then you go rotten.
Fog on my glasses too!
Are we going to light it up?
Monsen-style, only one match.
Oi, I have a episode about just that.
What side should we make it?
That side?
I want it like this...
A angle?
No, two beside each other and one on the top of them.
And then a fire between them...
Ah! Not there? Not there?
No fire there?
More like...
Aprox from here to where Kjetil is sitting...
A fire?
But then the fire will be inside there?
Yes, if we move this here...
There?
And then a log on top of this...
...and a fire in between.
Yes, like this!
Then the three logs will feed each other with heat all the time.
Ok, then we need a few more logs.
You got one there...
We will wait to fire it up... We have cheated...
Should we light it here?
It will be where you are sitting...
There will be a log parallell with this.
and we need a fire on top of it.
and the last log on top of that.
The theory is sound...
Long log fire?
I have hung my hammock.
Used a snow anchor this time.
Fount two trees around here.
And I just tied the tarp to them.
So that is nice.
It started snowing, it wasn't told by the weather forecast.
So the boys had to whip their tarps up.
But Erik knew and put his tarp up right away and laughed at us
because we were going to sleep without a roof.
I'm from Bergen, used to bad weather!
I bring my tarp every where I go.
Just felt that there would snow?
"I can feel the rain, no snow!"
Yes, it is too cold for rain here.
This white stuff makes people from Bergen afraid.
"What is this white stuff", or ararrarararara
That is what happens when two person get a kid together?
Then you wind up in Bergen-R-hell?
And if you call your daughter for Aurora...
And Aurora gets angry at the mall?
ARARARARAR!
He is tough when in Buskerud
and not in Bergen.
We will not tell you when he will go back.
Secret!
Secret time and place!
So now the fire goes on top there.
Just light it in the middle and build outwards.
Oh!
Healthy and fit youth!
We are outside in the woods!
Others are just home now showing their faces with Christmas pudding.
And what do we have to eat?
This: Some bark... not even good... I go home now...
Over the plateau?
We will light this with one match!
Just remember to put the rest of the matchbox inside the fire.
Inside it yes, and pour gasoline over it.
The match broke...
Fatwood!
It is like diesel!
Local fatwood
From Fatwood Beach!
Everything burns better here!
The trick for easy hikes is to bring two persons that knows how to use an axe.
Then I can just relax.
Those small axes are brilliant!
Chopping wood by yourself you can save the fatwood inside the trees
It burns like chopped dung.
Does chopped dung burn?
I don't know.
If it is very dry?
- But does the dung need to be chopped? - Yes!
- Yes, because if it isn't chopped you can get wet lumps inside it.
- Chopped dry lumps?
- The same goes for "hang on the grip". That is also dung!
The dung is too thin.
So it won't hang on the dung fork
then the dung is not worth purchasing...
People will believe we soaked the wood in diesel, because it burned well enough.
That is what we call "tyrived",
or Fatwood like Americans call it.
They have to import it...
You can buy it at your local sporting goods store?
Yes, but they must have be treated with something?
I wonder if it is pressure impregnated.
Yes, pressure impregnated with wax or fat or something...
Erik brought his tub...
...with lights installed!
Here we got...
...a battery!
That was glammy!
I like that, it is like this...
No point buying an expensive pulk if you are not going to the North Pole
you just get a tub, hook some rope to it and pull it after you.
We used this to pull 75 kg worth of timber without breaking a sweat.
Well, if we had been normal people with normal endurance we wouldn't sweat...
The trick is that the fire covers the entire length
and the last log goes on top
We are in Norway and it is almost Christmas Eve
The sun went down a long time ago
It is always exciting to see how much footage you get before it is too dark.
But what we are doing now is that we
have made a long log fire
and some candle boxes
and I am burning some meat.
That is nice!
This is the darkest period of the year in Norway.
Some places in Norway the sun never comes up.
In February the days are better, they are getting longer every day now.
In February everything is nicer.
In March we almost got Easter temperatures.
and sunny and nice.
We will see how this day is going, because it is so dark already.
ISO is on full here.
So it looks like it is in the middle of the day.
What are you doing now?
Burning sweets!
It is a Chili-Challenge up in here!
I don't dare reading, I just eat it.
I feel the need for one myself!
Oh well...
Mmmmm, it is starting to be nice.
Yes, it tastes like Turkish Pepper.
It is still good.
Starting to get hot.
Yes, now it starts....
I love it when it runs down into your lungs!
This is a bit hotter than the Indian food I had the other day!
I started to sweat out of my eyes!
- What, are you joking? - No, it is the truth!
I didn't cry, but moisture came out of my eyes.
So this wool underwear have to go on the dryer line?
This is something of the hottest I have ever eaten!
Yes, it is just a little candy!
- How are you doing? - I think my nose is running now!
It just runs!
Because this IS gun powder!
Absolutely!
They are small and it says on the package that kids are banned from eating them.
I have to chew, I cannot take it no more!
Ah, they are soft!
Yes, they are chewy, so it goes into a gum-ish.
Well, it doesn't get any worse...
No, you have peaked it.
Because three... two... one...
We have moved the logs a little closer
that helped and we have put other logs around it
We have cheated some and we are going to school tv
The time is now 17:00
and it is pitch black!
We thought the time was...
Nine or ten in the night?
Yes, I have already went to bed, and then I got a message it was too early so I had to get up again.
So Kjetil is out fishing again.
The light on the right is our grave light.
And the small light on the ice is Kjetil.
No stars out...
and it is cloudy...
So...
Yes...
The world gets smaller in the dark so we have put up some torches
some here and there so we can see our turf.
The filming will be limited, but
if it doesn't happen anything we see each other in the morning.
The time is 09:00 and we are up.
Started a fire
Kjetil noticed the chili this night
he painted the nature with his butt.
He thought he was sick, but it solved itself with a trip to the mens room.
We will just sit by the fire now...
Ny Nalgene is frozen solid.
So I will get no lemonade from that.
I have to boil some snow and eat.
It has been cold on my feet this night (-12C) but not that bad.
I am very happy with my tarp solution.
Took a couple of trees and...
A couple of trees and tied my tarp to them.
Purdy Boil, mmmmm!
Here you can see Forest Father tempt forth some old food
form days of yore
he stirs and stirs but will never reach the door.
Welcome!
We have packed and ate
We are ready to go home...
We will just let the fire burn out and then...
I don't know what we got on tape, I hope we got some of Kjetil fishing?
No? We did not see Kjetil fishing...
Just from a distance, and he got no fishies...
Have a sweet new year until next time :)
