If you have never used a fireplace for survival, it turns out they are a lot more work-intensive than you think.
Spending a few weeks breaking wood did wonders for my physique. I used to pay for a gym membership, as well as then use it a few times a year, however those days are over! I went to the seasoned family hunting lodge to “get back to nature” as well as spend some time hunting as well as fishing. I did not anticipate the plunge in temps, nor the worst snowstorm in 30 years hitting the area! After that I genuinely had to “get back to nature” including breaking firewood, because the electricity as well as the natural gas gas furnace were both offline. The natural gas gas furnace genuinely doesn’t require electricity to run, which is what makes it so reliable. This is how bad the storm was, as well as how deep the snow was, that it took out both the power as well as the heater! Thankfully there was an seasoned tile fireplace in the back of the bedroom. This lodge is several decades old, as well as for much of that time there was no electricity at all, this fireplace provided all the heating for the home as well as the bedroom. If you have never used a fireplace for survival, it turns out they are a lot more work-intensive than you think. I spent a couple of minutes a afternoon breaking firewood just to make sure the tile fireplace never went cold. This is how I lost so many pounds in such a short amount of time. The seasoned tile fireplace was pretty amazing, as well as not only kept myself and others moderate however also provided enough heat to cook my food as well as boil my water.
