Campfire (Continued)
Spark it up
Wait for the breeze to die down, if there is
one. Shield the area from the wind with your body
if you have to. Assuming you've collected solid
(not rotted), dry materials, you should be able to
light the fire with a single match.
Kneel down and strike a match. Shielding
it from the wind, drop it through the gaps onto the
tinder inside the tepee. If this is not possible,
sneak the match through the bottom side of the
cabin. Once the larger sticks are burning, you can
let the other folks gradually and gently
place larger material on. To encourage a struggling
fire, kneel down beside it. Inhale deeply, and blow
gently and steadily along the ground and into the
base of the fire.
