Camp fires
Always choose a dry spot, not under trees, and no chance of forest fire.
You will need a good supply of fuel for all of these fires below.
Building a reflector fire
1 remove ground 2ft x 3 ft
2 lay lots of small sticks
3 drive 2 stout sticks into the ground pointing away from the fire then put strong logs against it
4 check it is stable
5 place some dry kindling and get your fire started and the logs will reflect the heat into the centre for better cooking.
