Interesting, but some of the technique is sloppy, like driving the bit of the hand axe into the ground, dulling the edge.

The widest gap(s) in the split log should be upwind to force air into the fire. He could use two gaps in a "X" configuration or one gap with a "+" configuration. Likewise, using the two sticks between the split log and the stick promoted better flow of air under the pot and more rapid heating once the log is producing coals.

If he placed two pairs of parallel sticks on the ground to act as trivets then he would not be placing the cooking pot or the bowl directly on the ground, reducing the cleanup needed afterwards.
