Knowing how to make a good signal fire may come in handy. This was done in a training environment and the fire hazard was low during winter. This method consists of building a platform, with a good tinder bundle and surrounded with a bunch of evergreen boughs prompted on a tripod. The idea is to generate enough heat with the tinder to make the boughs smoke and the heat elevates and brings the smoke over the treeline. This signal fire was 7 feet high and took 2 hours for 3 people. The same set up can be done smaller or bigger. If you try this, please be safe and I would suggest alerting the local authorities and getting burning permits if necessary. Hope you enjoy the video.

Dans un exercice je construis un feu de signalisation avec 2 autres personnes et nous l'allumons. J'espère que vous aller aimé le vidéo.
