Camping List

Building a Fire

When camping or for a basic camping list it is important to know how to build a fire. I have listed below a simple and full proof camping list for how to properly build a fire and the few simple items you will need to gather or have on hand. Make sure you have the fire paste by coghlans. Its inexpensive and works very well in the woods, or wherever you may be. This camping list incorporates one of our fine products, fire paste by coghlans.

Initially you will want to clear and area that will be far away from any items that may burn and be careful to insure you have not placed your fire under any low hanging branches. Gather some dry kindling, which could consist of small pieces of wood and bark that will ignite easily, as well as larger pieces of dry wood to keep your fire going. These items will be necessary for a basic fire and are a good camping list of simple fire starting necessities. Find a dry place that is at least 5-6 feet from any shelter you have set up and not underneath any low hanging branches. You will need water proof matches to create fire, then apply a one to two inch strip of Fire Paste by Coughlan’s. It is easy to use and will start a fire easily in hot or cold weather and even in water!

Next on your camping list for building a fire, you will want to keep an eye on your small kindling fire to make sure you have a good strong fire building and slowly blow air to increase the volume of flames while adding your larger pieces of dry wood. Larger logs should now be place across each other to increase the size of the fire. This easy process will have you or your family warm and comfortable. Remember to not leave your fire unattended as they can get out of hand quickly. When you have utilized the fire for your purposes make sure it is completely out before leaving your campsite in the morning. This can be done by smothering it will dirt.

Remember to keep in mind our fire building camping list the next time you need to build a fire. As you build your camping list, these simple techniques will keep you safe and secure in unknown times.
