When one is outdoors, many times the only thing he can call home, is his 
campfire. There are few things more relaxing and satisfying than sitting 
in front of a roaring fire, telling tales. Of course, one needs to be 
able to start the fire in the first place, and keep it burning bright. 
Key ingredients include selection of wood, quality of kindling, and the 
fuel once the fire is started. There are many tricks of the trade that 
help fires burn faster and better as well. Fires, besides facilitating 
rest, are also useful to cook items. A cooked animal caught in the 
wilderness is much tastier and nourishing then one eaten raw. As the fire
starts to die out it is possible to 'refuel' it.
