How to start a camp fire
1. Select firewood. Decent stuff is best, make sure it's dry.
2. Find some kindling. Small twigs, branches, even loosely rolled up newspaper is good.
3. If the preference strikes you, mark out the boundries of your fire with stones. Make sure that they're not too close to where the fire will be though.
4. Loosely pile the kindling in the middle of your fire spot, then carefully construct a pyramid type structure above it with a portion (not all) of your firewood.
5. Ensure that there is enough space beneath the wood for air to come up from.
6. Stand back and admire the structure.
7. Douse the whole thing in deisel and throw a lit match at it from a safe distance.
