Sounds easy doesn’t it? Gather some wood and build a fire.
If you’ve ever arrived at your campsite on a dreary, rain-soaked day, you know how
hard it can be to get a fire going.
Even though the outside of the wood may be wet,
the inside of larger pieces is probably dry. So bring a small axe and be prepared to
split some logs. Make sure you buy
waterproof matches
or carry a
fire starter.
Either will light a fire while raining. Dry kindling is harder to find than dry wood. The easiest solution is to bring a supply of kindling from home to get that first fire started without a hitch.
Some campers bring a few dry logs as well. A small bow saw can also be very helpful.
All these items should be included on your camping checklist.
