Hello! I've always respected fires and kept my campfires at moderate size and placed them somewhere where it cant go out of control if i happen to not be paying attention, i.e on sand, dug a hole for it, in a designated campfire site, etc.But then i look at some outing youtubers and they keep making big ass fires and piling logs on them willy nilly on some moss or other greenery and then go to sleep without batting an eye. Is it just confidence and experience or can you really just kinda do it like this? Is it only doable when it's cold outside so it cant get WAY out of control or what? Thank you :)
>>2865975You can do stupid things and it'll be fine most of the time.
It's silly because you can relight a fire in the morning from coals that will remain hot for days.And if you want heat throughout the night you can either use rocks to reflect it back at you or even heat the rocks up instead and use them.You could argue the smoke keeps the bugs off but it's a bit of a reach, alternatives exist.
if you do a decent job building the firepit I see no reason why not. I still would only do it when it is absolutely needed
>>2866099because if the wind changes it can throw embers into the woods and start a 100k acre wildfire, dumbass.
>>2866101then you didnt do a decent job building the firepit. please get better at reading comprehension
The question of why a youtuber does something always has the same answer; because it looks cool and gets more views
