6 Fires Every Sportsman Should Know
Generation Wild | Features, Outdoor Skills6. KEYHOLE
Objective: To create hot embers for extended cooking
Difficulty: Easy to moderate
The keyhole fire is structured for cooking over hot embers. Start with a substantial tepee fire, then add wrist-thick branches. When the fire has burned down, scrape glowing coals into the keyhole away from the flame.
Fire-building Tip: A fire ring isn’t necessary for the main fire, but frame the keyhole with rocks or logs to support your grill. Lacking a grill, you can cook game on a spit or on a makeshift grill made of interlacing green branches. You also can suspend a pot over the main flame to heat soup, stew, or water.
FIRE RESPONSIBILITY
A few years ago, a lost hunter burning a signal fire was indicted for starting the worst wildfire in California history, a blaze that charred 270,000 acres. Heed fire restrictions in dry seasons and follow the five rules at right for determining where it’s safe to strike a match.
1. Don’t build a fire under overhanging branches or on steep slopes where an updraft could cause flames to spread.
2. Scrape away dry leaves, grass, and other flammable materials in a 10-foot-wide circle around your blaze.
3. Never leave a fire unattended.
4. Keep water handy and put your fire dead out. You should be able to stir the ashes and coals with your hands.
5. Don’t bury a fire. Roots and coals may continue to smolder and flare up several hours later.

December 17th, 2008 at 6:37 pmlol some of the commentary bloggers make are kinda silly, repeatedly i contemplate if they actually read the weblog posts and reports before writing or if perhaps they only skim the subject of the post and craft the first idea that comes to mind. regardless, it is really relaxing to read through keen commentary now and then rather than the same, traditional blog vomit that i commonly discover on the web i’m off to take up a smattering of hands of facebook poker hasta la vista
