A Never Fail way to Build a Campfire in the woods

Fire Safety Companies: Campfire is an extraordinary way to bring your friends and family together sharing stores, melting smores, and telling ghost stores. The most important thing is to bring your sleeping bag, food, fishing rods, tents, first-aid kit, bug spray, aluminum foil, cooking mitts, pots and pans that are fire friendly, racks for grilling, soap, a kettle that is also fire safe, and plenty of water. Knowing how to build a hot, sustainable, safe campfire is essential. Now, no one seems to know how to make a decent fire. It burns too hot. It burns out. So you better learn how to make a decent fire first, actually what makes a fire? There is a thing known as the tetrahedron of fire or the four things needed to make a fire, they are,

• Fuel: This is what you are going to burn off. Most commonly it would be wood, but it can also be a dried dung, coal, gasoline. Anything ignitable.

• Heat: You cannot start a fire without heat. The heat is normally rendered by a match or a lighter. You can even induce enough heat from the friction of rubbing two sticks together, but this is not a recommended one. Other less common means of heat are firesteel and the use of a piece of steel wool and batteries.

• Oxygen: There is no flame without oxygen. If your fire couldn't get enough oxygen it will quickly die off.

• Sustained chemical reaction: This means that you should have enough of the three previous ingredients to keep the reaction going.

So how do you interpret these principles into a good old campfire? Let's go through the process step by step,

Safety first!
Clear a space for your fire. Fire has a inclination to get out of control. You must have a space which is sheltered from the wind. Wind can make a fire unpredictable and difficult to start. Make sure to clear a space at least four feet around the area where your fire is to be placed. It is also a common practice to dig a fire pit and ring the spit with stones. This will further prevent the fire from getting out of control.

Collect your materials:
You will require a lot of wood. Think of what you might need and just triple it. You will need to gather tenders such as dry and easy to burn material like pine needles, moss, birch bark, kindling, fuel wood. It is a good idea to place your fuel close to the fire where the residual heat can further dry the wood.

• Start by loosely piling the tender in the center of your firepit and surround it loosely with tender. Apply heat to the tender and slowly and steadily begin adding more tender.

• Once your tender pile is good and hot, you can begin adding the smaller pieces of fuel wood. stably feed the fire until it can maintain a flame on its own.

Now that you have a flame going, it is time to concern about sustaining the chemical reaction. You can achieve this by placing your logs in such a manner as to allow for oxygen and heat to fuel the reaction. There are several accepted methods for achieving this.

Log Cabin Method:
Lay a layer of wood and sticks crosswise across the fire and then lend another layer perpendicular on top of the first. Make sure to leave a quarter of an inch to one inch between sticks. Repeat. As the fire grows, add larger and larger logs. This method creates the chimney effect, which pulls hot air through the center of the fire and aids in combustion.

Teepee Method:
Just like it sounds. You build a teepee like structure out of sticks and logs (making sure to leave space between or air to flow) around the tinder pile. As the wood burns, it falls into the fire. This method also utilizes the chimney effect.

The X Ditch:
Rather than dig a firepit, this method requires that you dig two trenches in an x shape. Create your fire where the two trenches intersect. The fire will pull air via trenches, once again creating a chimney effect.

Once your fire is going, it becomes less about right building and more about maintaining. Stably add fuel to your fire and make adjustments so that all four requirements are met. I guarantee you will stay warm all night.
