Spring is a time that brings out new campers.  Some have never made a campfire before so some need to know how to make a campfire.  So here we go:

To build a campfire you need some tinder which is small twigs, wood shavings, dry leaves, dry needles, dry grass or even  dryer lint.  Some kindling- sticks  1″ round or less, some larger logs that keep the fire burning and some matches.

To start a campfire put a couple of hands full of tinder into the center of a fire ring.  With your back to the wind ignite a match. Light the tinder slowly add more tinder.  You may need to blow softly at the base of the fire to help ignite the tinder.  Once the tinder has fully started add some kindling.  Place close together, but not to close it needs space for air flow.  Gradually add larger pieces of kindling.  After the fire is going add logs to form a teepee.

Be sure to put out the fire when done.

GOOD TIMES, GOOD FRIENDS, GOOD FOOD
