When you are going out for an adventure with nature, there is one thing that you will optimally need - fire. Fire will give you warmth and comfort as you sleep during the night. It will also give you the light necessary to move around the campsite effortlessly. Fire burning rapidly can also protect you against wild animals because they tend to stay away from it.
Fire is really important and it is quite easy to build a campfire, but not if it has rained and the ground is wet. You might encounter problems big enough to cancel your adventure for another sunny day. But with these tips, you will know how to create fire even though it is wet outside.
1. Be prepared for the weather. Keep matches and chemical fire starters in a dry, secured place. A good fire is hard to build if it has rained, making the rest of your things unusable. You might still find something dry to burn, like tree branches and sticks. The more important thing here is that you have something to start a fire with.
2. Keep a set of clean twigs inside your stove's fuel bottle. Keeping three to four sticks soaked in fuel will light, no matter how rainy it has been. These sticks will start any campfire quite reluctant to blaze.
3. Look for an area protected from moisture. Large trees, big rocks, and other natural structures can shield an area enough for you to start a fire. If you are in a real campsite, look for their enclosed fire pits and use them to build a fire.
4. Bring non-flammable tarps. When all else fails and you really can't find ground dry enough for a campfire, use any non-flammable canvas you brought with you. Lay it on the ground and throw on some usable sticks and twigs and your fire will be ready in a short while.
5. Dig a fire pit. This is most applicable during the winter season when there is snow all around. First, clear all the snow away. If you feel the ground is hard for you to dig, you may use a fire tray or a fire ring instead. So always have these with you.
These are five good tips for making a fire when it's wet. Your outdoor adventure should not stop when it rains. Actually that should just be another challenge for you, especially with your survival skills.
