EDIT: I made a mistake in the narration and text inserts on the anorak model. It is actually the "Arctic Anorak". The link to the Empire Wool and Canvas "Arctic Anorak" info is:

In Part 2 of this snowshoe scout, (see part 1 for context), I make a fire in the regenerating cut-over, and show the lack of firewood in these silvicuturally produced stands. I got enough firewood for a snow melt coffee boil-up, and a warming fire. I show digging out a fire pit using a snowshoe as a shovel.

The rest is a fire-side chat about gear, and I show some stupid mistakes I made in both fire lighting, and in almost losing my vehicle keys, but my lanyard system saves the day.

I used my tinder tube for the fire. Links to the old prototype is here:
