Just dont' set the forest on fire and it's cool. If you set the forest on fire you really suck also Larry Parrish posted:That's why this guy is a retard, and you should go in winter or late spring when it's not too cold to camp but the fire danger is low. Also you need a like $20 permit for fires on Forest Service land!!! seems to depend on the forest, I got one for the tahoe forest backcountry by just completing an online "training".

The campfire situation in the mountains here has interesting rules. Car camping in a provincial park: supply your own firewood Car camping in a national park: unlimited firewood onsite for $8.50 a night Backcountry camping in a provincial park: included with $23 overnight fee, firewood is flown in by helicopter Backcountry camping in a national park: depends on how remote/popular the area. Total ban in easy to get to places, communal firepit in remote sites to burn deadfall only Some provincial recreational areas allow random camping, you just have to be at least a kilometer away from any infrastructure and you can tent and set up a fire anywhere you want. Deadfall only.

Campfires are great, sometime's it's nice to switch it up and make a mud oven, nothing better than some freshly caught and roasted fish or rabbit!

it's rare that i do non-backpacking camping, but when i do (or if it's a r eally short overnight) i love to bring cans of veg chili and crack them open and cook the cans directly on the fire, and then mix them with velveeta shells and cheese in a pot... one of my fav camping meals

that post was more about camping food than about campfires i'm sorry  um uh it's cool when a medium piece of wood is shooting out a jet of flame for a little bit from its edge it's also cool to watch boiling sap ooze out of the edge of a log fires are just real fun to watch in general what are some of your fav fire events to stare at

Why not use it for both? Birch smells nice, and doesn't spark, plus there's oodles where I'm at. I can Carve my cup and heat it too.

humans have been staring at fire and talking to each other in the darkness for 300,000 years. it's only within the last century or so that we have stopped. when you get outdoors and make a campfire with your buds you tap into something real deep.

Campfires are awesome and people who rely on stoves outside of bad weather and fire danger areas are garbage people.

There are somewhere around 3 trillion trees on earth. Imagine big of a fire you could build with that?

OMGVBFLOL posted:go old school and just scar the earth with deep blackout forest fires every time you step out your door I did an aircrew land survival course once. After a week and change of hands on instruction we got released into the woods to survive for like 72 hours with a few hundred calories worth of sugar, some standard issue survival gear, and a list of tasks to complete (shelter, signals, snares, stay alive etc). Every one of us butchered the poo poo out of scores of trees and maimed hundreds more at a minimum. The pristine plot of winter forest we arrived to was left a smoke blackened wreck of stumps, charcoal and upturned earth. I always felt a little bit guilty but it was fun as hell and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

But like, it's dangerous? Also whenever my friends and I have campfires we'd do what people used to do, and share ghost stories, stories from old camp, stories that are clearly bullshit but we still enjoy them, and most importantly we'd sing. gently caress I've made up some pretty great campfire songs that are just rad.

Apparently the same part of the brain that lights up when we're watching TV lights up when we're watching a fire. I can't find the article now though and it's driving me nuts. Cool to think about though.
