Jan 8, 2015 at 17:09 comment added kittylyst Maybe consider a storm kettle? I've used mine many a time when I didn't want to set a full camp fire & hot drinks are a real godsend after a wet days walk.

Jun 12, 2014 at 12:41 comment added user2766 No, it does not rain constantly in the UK...? This obviously depends, but the average rainfall for Liverpool (where I live) is 144 days a year, so 39% of the days it will rain. metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/climate/gcmzggpxq

Jun 6, 2014 at 18:24 comment added Rory Alsop Additionally, despite the myths, it is more often not-rainy than rainy. Check to see if all areas allow fires - some don't due to risk of wildfire. Yes, even in the UK.
Jun 6, 2014 at 16:02 comment added berry120 My experience lines up with Kate's - it's just unnecessary. You should be able to keep the fire sheltered while it's building up even if it is raining, then when it's established the rain shouldn't douse it beyond usefulness.

Jun 6, 2014 at 13:00 comment added Kate Gregory do not carry liquid fuel to help you start a fire. Whether it's legal or not, it's impractical. The day's newspaper and a small amount of dry twigs should be all you need, and are far safer. I've started many a rainy-day fire without resorting to flammable liquids.
