The following is a guide summarized by Roof Top Tent Suppliers, hope to bring warmth to your camping trip.

1. Preparation

Fire is very unstable.

Don't use fire casually, because if it is left unattended or in bad conditions, it will quickly get out of control.

First of all, in forest areas where there are obvious warning signs that no fire is allowed, please follow the rules and do not try to light a fire.

If possible, please see below.

If the camp has an existing fire pit, use it directly to protect the surrounding soil and vegetation.

If there is no fire pit, dig a new one in the open area and make sure it is at least 3 meters away from bushes and other plants and tents.

If possible, choose a place where there is no wind and make sure that the fire pit is at least 0.3 meters deep to prevent the fire from being blown by strong winds.

After the fire pit is completed, surround a little stone to provide a safe buffer.

Finally, put something that can extinguish the fire nearby, such as a bucket of water or a shovel that can shovel dirt, in case you need it.

2. Collect wood

When collecting wood, look at the ground and only collect dead wood.

Cutting down a living tree is very unenvironmental, and you can't use it to make a fire.

Closer to home, you need to collect three types of wood, namely tinder, firelighter, and fuel wood.

Tinder, that is, very flammable small objects, such as pine needles, cotton wool, etc., they can easily catch sparks.

A firelighter, a small wooden stick two to three centimeters long, can help the flame grow.

Fuel wood, that is, larger wood, usually has a diameter of at least 10 cm, so that your bonfire will last until late at night.

3. Construction technology

The basic steps of life: Put a small pile of tinder in the middle of the fire pit, then light it, and slowly add more tinder. After the tinder burns stably, add the firelighter slowly, and then add the fuel material after stabilization. How to place these three types of wood depends on what kind of bonfire you want.
