HOW TO BUILD THIS SURVIVAL ESSENTIAL THE ART OF THE CAMPFIRE
Few things are better than sitting in the warm glow of a campfire. Besides creating incredible memories, campfires can be necessary for survival situations. A campfire can be life-saving if you’re stranded or just camping in a snowy winter forest. Everyone needs to know how to create a fire, especially if you’re regularly outdoors. PICK THE SPOT You’ve got your spot if you’re at a campsite with a fire pit. Otherwise, make sure the area isn’t too dry. Look for cracks in the soil, dried- up riverbeds, and shriveled foliage. Ensure no shrubs, tents, or anything flammable is within 15 feet of your chosen spot. GATHER THE MATERIALS It’s time to build the fire. For safety, always have a bucket of water or sand and a shovel if things get out of hand. You’ll need a match, a lighter, and different materials to start the
burn and keep the fire going. While you could chop wood with a hatchet, we assume you’re collecting your fire materials from the surrounding area. There are three types of material you’ll need. • Tinder: Dry leaves, grass, or pine needles. • Kindling: Small sticks less than 1 inch in diameter. • Fuel: Large and thick pieces of wood. Make sure all of your wood is fairly dry, or it won’t light properly and will throw smoke everywhere. LIGHT THE FIRE There are many ways to create a fire, but we’ll use the “crisscross” method. 1. Form a base of tinder. 2. Build and form the kindling across the tinder in an X pattern.
3. Use your match or lighter to
ignite the tinder. 4. Blow on the base of the fire to keep the tinder burning. 5. Once it starts, add more kindling to grow the fire. 6. Add more kindling, then arrange your larger pieces of wood in a pyramid shape. When you’re no longer using the fire, put it out. Use water to cool every ember, as even one can start a wildfire. If you don’t have water to spare water, cover it with dirt or sand. Congratulations! Now you know how to light a campfire. The next steps are learning to create pits or experimenting with other stacking styles. You can even make delicious campfire dishes using foil packets. Your options are endless.
