Fire

Getting one lit, keeping it lit, and what to burn.

A fire reflector Fire A wall of green logs or a rock face behind the fire, so the heat comes back to you and your shelter instead of into the woods. Fire in wet weather Fire Getting a fire going when it has rained for three days and everything on the ground is soaked. Fire safety in camp and at the cabin Fire Alarms, an extinguisher, two ways out, and what to do in the first minute when a tent, a pot or a cabin catches. Fire without matches Fire Getting a flame when the matches are gone or soaked. Keeping a fire overnight Fire Banking the coals so there is fire in the morning instead of a match hunt. One match fire Fire Getting a fire lit on the first match in wet woods. Putting a fire out Fire Drown it, stir it, feel it: making sure a campfire is dead out before you leave, and why the ground here can hold fire for days.
