Fire Making


Fire making can be a bit of a hassle for people, and i found a few people that can’t even start a fire. I thought to myself, well I’d like to think that I’m pretty good at making fire. Making fire is very simple if you follow simple and safe steps. What you will need to make a fire is:
1. Fire source (lighter, matches, ect)
2. Tinder (cotton balls, paper, ect.)
3. Thin and dry branches for starting your fire
4. Bigger pieces of wood so your fire lasts for a longer amount of time

I know some of you may think this is easy, but there are people out there who never have started a fire in their entire life. Helping and teaching people to safely use fire is one way to prevent forest fires. Start small, so that means make a small fire in a metal bucket of some sort. Be careful not to get burned by the fire, or to let your children play anywhere near it ALONE. Keep an eye out for the kids and they should be fine, and have fun as well. I personally love making campfires and just sitting together with friends and loved ones. Fire is a great heat and light source, so do not be afraid of starting one while your camping, because your fire is your best friend in the cold and dark forest. Just remember your basic steps and you will safely make a fire and have fun doing it.

Take care, and stay sharp.
