    Bloody hell. How much wood do they go through. You’d need half a ton a night and you would have to sit 15 feet away.

    the wood should be dead, but still standing, because if it’s on the ground, then it will be wet, and rotten.

    I agree. It seems to have all the safe and proper instructions that a first timer would need to know.

    It works better if you have a base under the kindleing. Like a board or other fuel.

    If your “campsite” has pre-made fire pits, you are not camping.

    stupid explosion hazard! You will be a “flaming alpha” or a human running around on fire.

    Wise camper only builds campfire suitable to needs and avoids wasting fuel or attracting predators.
