How to build a fire
One of the most critical skills for all who venture into the outdoors is the ability to build a fire quickly. Fire allows you to cook food, boil water, provide heat and light; it is a companion that offers self-assurance and it can be your distress signal if needed.
Preparation: Whenever you build any fire, for warmth, overnight, or for cooking, get all the materials together in their proper place, before you strike your match. Stack the firewood by size about five feet from the fire pit. Splash water on the ground around, but not in or on, the fire pit. Clear a circle of 2 to 5 feet from around the fire pit of excess pine needles and leaves.
