Keeping a fire burning throughout the night can be tedious work. For those of you who have tried, you know the lack of sleep it causes. There are a few theories and favorites for keeping your fire burning longer such as piling your wood smallest to largest, also known as a reverse fire, and splitting a long log in half before building a fire in between the split logs, also known as a horizontal log fire.

Which brings us to this amazing old-school technique. If you are a camping or survival enthusiast, this trick is going to change your world. It takes a bit of prep (and also requires straight logs), but you get a payoff because when you get it right it should be “set and forget”.

Location is Key: You’ll first want to find a location that is suitable for a fire. Be sure to steer clear of any area that may be too close to dead or dry trees and/or shrubs. Ideally, this fire should be built in a dirt circle. If the surrounding greenery is green enough, it can be done on grass.

Building Your Ramp: The most important part is the first step, building a ramp to place your logs on.

• Find four large sticks or fallen branches (the latter is best). These will be your ramp.
• Find four sticks or branches large enough to support the previous four.
• Now you’ll need to perfect your angle. There are a few tips for this
• The logs will need to be extremely straight when placed on the ramp, so be sure to make ramp legs as even as possible.
• Be sure to factor in gravity and rising heat. You don’t want your top logs to burn with your bottom logs. This is meant to be a self-feeding fire.
• Place a few logs on to test your angle before burning.

Add Logs: Now that your ramp is complete, it’s time to add the logs.

• Place small sticks between the two bottom logs to keep an opening to place tinder later.
• You will want to place heavier logs towards the bottom. You do not want too much weight at the top. Again, gravity is a factor here.
• Be sure to leave spaces in the bottom logs that allow sufficient air flow. This will allow your fire to burn hot and slow. If not done properly it can lead to the edges not burning as fast which will keep upper logs from properly moving down.
• Be aware of air flow around other logs. You want to keep this to a minimum so the flame does not travel.

Light and Enjoy: Once you have your set up complete, add tinder and light. Completely fill bottom space with tinder. This fire should last 14 or more hours. It can even last in rain. A downpour may be different, but it has been shown to last in at least 1- 1/4 inch of rain.

Alterations: A final tip; if you are concerned about the logs rolling towards you, take one side out. You will then need to place large, heavy rocks in its place. They need to be dry if they are wet the heat could make them explode. Be sure to sleep on the side you took out so it is perpendicular to the fire. This will cause the log side to act as a wind barrier.

Note: Fires should not be left unattended unless they are in a location where there is absolutely no risk of an uncontrolled blaze or drifting spark hazard.

This Crazy Off Grid Device Literally Makes Drinkable Water From Fresh Air:

According to NASA, the U.S. is expecting a 100-YEAR LONG MEGADROUGHT.

It's already begun. Ask the farmers in California. They know.

Every survivalist knows that water is of critical importance. You NEED an independent water source that you can count on!

As an interesting "survival rehearsal" - imagine that you turned the tap on right now and nothing came out. How long would you last?

But what if there was another water source literally hidden in plain sight. That's right, I'm talking about the atmosphere!

The amazing thing about getting water from the natural moisture in the air... is that it is ALWAYS available.

This gives you real water security!

😳 What Tinnitus Does To Your Brain Cells (And How To Stop It)

After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.

As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.

Even more interesting: The reason why top army officials are not deaf after decades of hearing machine guns, bombs going off and helicopter noises…

Is because they are using something called "the wire method", a simple protocol inspired by a classified surgery on deaf people from the 1950s...

Most People Don't Have The Guts To Try This:

An amazing discovery in an abandoned house in Austin, Texas: A lost book of amazing survival knowledge, believed to have been long vanished to history, has been found in a dusty drawer in the house which belonged to a guy named Claude Davis.

Remember... back in those days, there was no electricity... no refrigerators... no law enforcement... and certainly no grocery store or supermarkets... Some of these exceptional skills are hundreds of years of old and they were learned the hard way by the early pioneers.

We've lost to history so much survival knowledge that we've become clueless compared to what our great grandfathers did or built on a daily basis to sustain their families.

Neighbors said that for the last couple of years Claude has tried to unearth and learn the forgotten ways of our great-grandparents and claimed to have found a secret of gargantuan proportions. A secret that he is about to reveal together with 3 old teachings that will change everything you think you know about preparedness:

What REALLY Happens When You Bury a Shipping Container? (Hint: It's A Bit Crazy...)

Shipping containers are all the rage - but if you are thinking about buying one, you MUST watch this video first:

Do not, I repeat do NOT do what these lunatics did! Can you spot the "fatal mistake" they made?

There's a general belief that if you bury a shipping container you can create an awesome root cellar / storm shelter / survival bunker.

But is a shipping container strong enough to handle the pressure?

I Can't Help Showing This Off:

If you haven't heard of Claude Davis yet do yourself a huge favor and watch this video.

One of the smartest guys I ever had the pleasure of meeting, Claude set-up a unique prepping system that changed his life forever.

I already tried it myself and let me tell... you I was completely blown away... His surprising tactics could make your life easier and give you the peace of mind you deserve.
