How to create campfire which will burn overnight? @OlinLathrop This method does work! I know it seems counter intuitive and looks identical to the fire used to create lots of embers quickly for cooking on (Log Cabin fire). The difference is, this fire is burned from the top down (heat rises) and the other (faster) burning, burns from the bottom up. |

How can I start a fire by rubbing two sticks together? An alternative to putting sap on the spindle is to pack a waxy leaf (e.g. holly) into the hole on the bearing block. |

Can I replace Dish soap? +1 for stainless steel. Put a lit back on the pot with a little water in it and the steam will usually shift any food remnants. Then use a small bit of pot scourer. Done. |
