Campfire

  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance this week and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

I chose "other." I like to make an upside-down fire. For those unfamiliar (I just learned of this one a little over a year ago), the idea is to lay down the largest pieces on the bottom, then go smaller as you go up. Your top layer is going to be kindling and tinder. The burning debris drops down to the next layer, heating it until it catches, and so on. I keep a number of different fire starting methods in my kit, but I like the cotton balls dipped in vaseline. They work really well, if you don't over-saturate them (they still work even if you do, just not as easily as intended).

Now that's an interesting idea! I've never heard of that before. Gonna try that next time.
