Like so many others, I was taught in boy scouts the teepee method. A fragile teepee of tiny twigs then with another teepee of larger twigs around it.. and larger and larger. Then finally you put your fire source in the middle and all should be well. The problem, of course, is that as it burns it collapses and I've had the fire nearly snuffed out by the collapsing of the larger teepees. As an adult I have always done a method like this and never have a problem. A far, FAR superior method

My fire starting is “rusty” on a good day. Good on ya for helping an old bushman get himself back together. My best friend wants me to help learn his kids. So, thank you from the bottom of my heart for keeping the old ways alive.

Wow, what a difference taking the time to find dry wood and then using the right technique makes! I used your techniques for gathering the wood and then executed according to your method, and the result was the best campfire I've ever had. Making a good fire has always been a challenge for me, this video series changed the game for me. Thanks a bunch!!

Nice job. If you don't have a commercial fire starter as you used, you can find balls of pitch, clumps of brown needles and small dry twigs on standing trees that have a thick canopy. I've made this work when it was very wet and a fire was really needed.

I just read about another hiker that got into a situation that almost became deadly. Cell phone worked-but no way to get a fire going-no knowledge. No In Reach to get help-he did not know if he even got his text to anyone. He plans to finish this hike-it's only getting later in the season. I am always the one that everyone looks at like I have 3 heads for being over- prepared. I don't even think I know enough. Good grief-hiking is not just a walk in the park if you die from it. Profoundly sad. Some hikes I don't even have, what I consider, that much in my pack-but I've not had to call for help-always get myself to safety. I always have a blast.

Why this method vs 'log cabin' style? My vote would be log cabin style for ease as well as aesthetic (and function since if you care for it a little you can build a nice level spot for a pan!). Less likely to have little twigs blow away or fall out of the fire. I can also see this style being smothered out fairly easy as you stack bigger/heavier fuel in and it collapses the burned out fire bed.

When the fire, you, and the wind are in line, the smoke will be blown into your face or if the wind is at your back, the smoke will be drawn into your face by the wind eddie around your body. Sitting with the wind blowing at a right angle to you lessens the draft effect. With the breeze blowing willey-nillie, all bets are off, it just seems like it's always blowing into your face ...
