I usually head to the range on Wednesdays, but I got snowed out. Instead, I thought I'd make a video about how easy it is to make a fire in the snow. After spending the time in the peace and quiet of the woods, I realized it would be a shame to ruin the experience by narrating over it.
So, yes, this is just a video of me going through the process of gathering fuel, making and tending a fire, and safely extinguishing it before leaving. I've always found these kinds of videos soothing to watch, and I thought some of you might feel the same way.

For some reason I thought you were in OH or somewhere around those parts. |
| I've been in NC since 1995. I grew up in the coal region of PA and basically had a mountain as my playground. There was no internet when I grew up, so when my friends and I got bored, we would just head uphill, light a fire, and shoot the breeze. I was always the fire guy because nobody else had the patience to do it right. |
Copy, don't know why I was thinking OH. We always had fire pits growing up and I had a really good friend that's of Native American Heritage. If we went anywhere out in the woods he would have a fire going almost immediately.  Guess its always been a way of life for us. Nothing beats sitting around a fire, cooking up something to eat and relaxing with the kids on the weekends now. Great way to end a hard week at work, doesn't cost anything and best of all my kids enjoy it. |
