Keeping a campfire going?

Everything Turbo says is right, but unless you're trying to imiate a mountain man or somesuch, feel free to bring some lighter fluid (or anything else) to make it easier.

How ya doing, buddy?

Campfires are too small. Bonfires rock my socks though. Same premise, but multiplied exponentiallo. Instead of twigs for kindling we throw on dead branches from pine trees out back.

I lost my eyebrows last time.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Oh, and Sass, a bonfire is the exact same thing, just bigger. A lot bigger. And it usually involves gasoline or some other unnecessary fire starter that makes it go "Fwoosh" when you start it.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

No no, I mean the way you build it is the exact same thing too. It's just on a larger scale. There are 'special' ways to build a bonfire, but it's not necessary. You can use the same log cabin approach and it'll work just fine. But you're right, something great about sitting and watching the flames--though I prefer a guitar to a beer.

Come on Sass, no slight intended. Ah wub joo.

How ya doing, buddy?
