I think one of the parts of camping I
enjoy the most is being able to have an
open campfire.

To build one in the ring is something I
enjoy also when I’m on different parts
of the Mississippi river and in the
North in one section of the Mississippi
river where Sand Bars are like parking
lots, there are well maintained fire
rings in sand lot slopes located for
week end warriors.
Near La Crosse mainly, but not
everywhere is like that so you have to
dig a pit or at least I dig a pit other
people may use other types of building
fire techniques but I like to dig a big
pit because eventually I’m going to try
to burn a giant log and see if I can
burn it all night long like I did last
night and so fire pits and campfires are
something I enjoy doing when I get
out doors.
Because there’s nothing so relaxing as
being able to sit for hours staring into
the fire.
Of course it helps if you camp right
next to ample wood supply and where
I’m at on an island there is more than
enough wood to last for years as well
as enough Lee’s grasses and fire
starter just so long as it’s during spring
or summer because when it’s raining
it’s not going to burn.
