Do you know how to make a fire when you are ready?


1. Why Do You Want to Light a Fire when Camping

Camping fire seems to be a "sense of camping ceremony". When night falls, there is a group of fire to light up the camp, which always has a special sense of security. Many people camp to make a fire for barbecue and cooking, right? Of course, for the sake of atmosphere and mosquito prevention, (mosquitoes are afraid of fire and dare not approach), you should pay attention to safety when making a fire in the wild. So I encourage everyone to use stoves to make a fire, which can not only ensure safety but also protect the environment.




2.What Should Be Prepared Before Starting a Fire?

Choose a place to make a fire

Because it is dangerous to start a fire, you must carefully choose the place where you want to start a fire to avoid accidents. Of course, you need to ask the permission of the person in charge in advance, no matter whether you dig the ground to make a fire or use a stove to make a fire~




1. Wind direction


Observe the wind direction. Then the downwind position (the direction of wind blowing) should avoid some easily combustible objects. A barrier can be set up at the windward place to prevent the fire from being blown out before it is well started.

2. Keep away from combustibles

If dead leaves are burned and are easy to be blown away by the wind, tents should not be set up downwind to avoid burning tents. Remove or place objects that are easy to burn at a distance.

3. What items are needed to make a fire


Of course, you can't make a fire without fire-making tools, and here is a list of charcoal fire-making tools ~

  • Charcoal
  • Barbecue Rack
  • Newspaper
  • Fire
  • Matches/lighters
  • Alcohol/self-made Fuel (oil with a Paper Towel and Wrap with Another Layer of Paper Towel)
  • Glove
  • Pliers




4. What Should I Do After Making a Fire?

After burning, make sure that the carbon is completely extinguished before putting it into a container for discarding. You can also put away some unburned carbon and save it for the next barbecue. It is economical and environmentally friendly. After the burned carbon ash is disposed of, you must ensure that the site is clean before leaving the campsite. It is everyone's responsibility to be a conscientious camper and not let the campers who come later leave trouble.
