Equip 2 Endure's video: The Secret to Building a Fire on the Snow

Rusty demonstrates what a stranded snowboarder may want to consider if they have to make it through a night on the mountain. There are many other survival components to consider (like shelter!) but this video focuses on the heat, light, and signaling benefits of a fire in the snow. Key Steps: 1) Make sure no widow makers (large dead branches or dead standing trees) are overhead 2) Pack and level fire location 3) Collect materials (driest tinder, kindling, and fuel wood possible) 4) Make platform with green wood 5) As soon as the fire is sustainable, collect more wood!
