If necessary, also ask for permission. At OneHowTo.com we teach you how to make a campfire. Learn the techniques well and you will be able to make fire easily.

Steps to follow:

• Dig a hole. Keep in mind that it should be big enough to cover the campfire and remember that the hole should be far from trees, camping areas, buildings, etc.
• To make sure the fire will be safe, surround the campfire with rocks.
• In the center of the hole put two logs or pieces of firewood in parallel. This will be the base of the structure that we will form to light the fire.
• Then place a pile of tinder: wood chips, logs, newspaper... With all these materials you will be able to light the fire.
• On top of the tinder put dry chips, that is, small sticks. Make them stand at an angle with the wood and then place another bundle of chips, leaving room to start the fire. You must repeat the process until you see that the stack reaches the height of your knees, more or less.
• Around the fire place large pieces of wood vertically and make a kind of tent with the logs. With this structure you will be able to enclose the pile of tinder and chips that you have created.
• Light the fire. Try not to drop the structure. To fan the flame we recommend that you blow gently. Enjoy the warmth of your campfire safely!
