    1 - Keep your wood dry
    2 - Set up your log structure (teepee or log cabin, whatever), then fill in the gaps with thin branches (no more than half an inch thick) then add your quick-burning kindling (paper or whatever you use). The kindling should light the twigs, which should keep the fire going long enough to ignite the logs.

      Consumers Power cut trees last week and the next day, a kid came to the door asking if he could have the wood because he wanted a bonfire that night. I said “You can have it but it’s not going to burn.” I was a Girl Scout. I only cheated once…my Brownies and I had a two night overnight (not in a campground) and it rained the whole time. On the second night, we took a night hike to the convenience store for lighter fluid 😬

    This is why I am the FIRE QUEEN. I will get that fire going. The trick is you take your hatchet and one of them logs in the background and you make it into smaller sticks. Then you take your news paper and your pine needles and put em in the middle and make a teepee out of the small-medium sized ones. Light the kindling then feed it your smallest sticks til the middle sized ones catch and you've got a good flame going. Then slowly slowly add bigger sticks til you're up to the logs. For optimal bright flames, you add logs to the pyramid shape whenver a gap shows up.

    If you want to make a really nice and easy fire, start with a solid layer on the bottom of your fuel wood (this is basically an inverted fire, so that particular part of the fire is starved for oxygen and also doesn't light right away, it will keep your fire at mostly the same size for a long time) and use used cooking oil soaked on some of the wood for the "wood cabin" which acts as kindling and a some used cooking oil on the paper at the center also. It's really easy, and it's zero fail. Also it's a great way to use up used cooking oil so you always have fresh oil to eat.

    Save the lint from your dryer, put it in a plastic Sauerkraut/pickle container(s) and take them camping. That stuff will light wet grass. Also, cotton balls soaked in lighter fluid and stuffed in old prescription containers work as well. Add some kindling, use small, med, large sticks found on the ground or broken off lower dead branches and it's really not that difficult.

A solid match on top of the pile and a match or two near the bottom of the pile will light it right up if you've got a piece of cardboard or some solid lungs to fan it with.

    15 years of having bonfires and googling all types of techniques for fire building along the way, it wasn't until 2020 I realized I could combine the teepee style and log cabin. In my opinion of all the ways to have a fire a small teepee inside a larger log cabin starts the easiest and burns the best. Paper bag filled with newspaper surrounded by small sticks and then large logs for the log cabin with smaller logs on top directly above the teepee, if your kindling is dry enough it will burn through light rain.

He made a teepee and stuffing newspaper into it. The glossy ad sections. Surprisingly it didn't work. I found some kindling and charcoal left from the previous day's fire. Added that and some regular newspaper. That did take off but still wasn't great. He opened his tool box and I spotted a propane torch. That got it blazing in a real hurry.

It was a quite large pile, approximately 12' x 8'. Hubby was having a little trouble getting it started. I suggested he use a, "Little" of some old boat gas in the shed. I did this growing up, quite safely. Well, hubby poured the entire tank of old boat gas on the pile! When he lit it off there was a very loud explosion and one hell of a bon fire, flames a good 30+ feet in the air. I come out of the garage where I was working to see hubby running towards the house. He had a singed mustache, singed hair and his nylon coat was a bit melted. I was like what the hell did he do? Oh yes, he poured the entire 5+ gallons of old boat gas on it! I had to trim up the singed mustache, hair and eye brows!

    This brings me back to the time a friend of mine gave me a lecture on how I needed to start a fire, unconvinced I knew how to do it when I offered to start a fire in our wood burning stove. He told me how to do it with explicit steps, asking me bit by bit if I knew what he was referring to with every step. I nodded my head, gave the impression I was listening, then started the fire my own way. It was ignited by the first strike of my match and grew into a steady fire without me needing to fan it or blow on it at all. He was pissed. 😂

      Yeah for some reason even though I lived outside there was no shortage of these lectures and I did the same as they pouted probably because I am a girl 🙃 lol

    My Eagle Scout husband uses an empty Old Dutch Potato Chips box for kindling, and a propane torch to light it. And for some reason the kids in the family call them bombfires. 🤣

    Hilarious! Reminded me of when I moved from SF, Ca up to Oregon to marry my Oregonian husband. When our daughter was 7 or 8 she joined a "scout" group for the summer. They told me I had to be one of the leaders. I don't camp, hike, climb, fish....I read and go to museums. One of my teaching tasks was to build a fire. After 1 hour of stomping, blowing, yelling and then crying....a young boy said "hey lady, you need some help?" I replied "Oh Lord YES YES YES". He withdrew a lighter from his pocket; t
    Rearranged the wood, lit the fire and I was jumping around screaming....WE HAVE FIRE!!!! To this day...thank you kiddo!

    See, whatcha gotta do is you put down the newspaper, then you put down your pine needles, then you go gather a bunch of sticks and you put those over the pine needle newspaper. Then you can put whatever wood you want over that, whether it's a teepee or log cabin. Teepee works better on windy days. Also, wasn't nearly enough beer in the process.

    The wood burning stove which is very efficient uses newspaper and a match you drop in. Very efficient

    I was born and raised in Northern WI. This definitely speaks to me lol. Though we would always dump a shit ton of gas to start it. If your not missing a few eyebrow hairs, you didn't build a reliable fire.

    Charlie is really going for the Wisconsin look with his hat over his mullet. I forgot that’s how we do it back home. Business up front, party in the back.
