Campfire Tools and Memories

Author : Tom Watson

All campfires that you have had are as individual as the memories created around them. The campfire from every camping, hiking, hunting and fishing trip you have experienced, can be remembered. You can recall practically every conversation, memory and the person or people who were with you at the time.There has to be a phenomenon associated with the experience of a campfire. As every outdoor person is unique in their own version of how to build a campfire, the phenomenon still remains the same. It does not matter if the fire is large or small, bright or dimly glowing embers, contained in a wrought iron smoke ring, surrounded by rocks or in a shallow pit of earth, it is still the center meeting place of a camp sight.Just as everyone is unique in the matter of building their own version of a campfire, each individual has their own manner of tending the heartbeat of the camp. Now, there is no doubt you have witnessed several diversified means of maintaining a campfire, as well as the creativity that goes with it. Not only do most camping enthusiasts or novices employ themselves as experts, but the human trait of resourcefulness also prevails.Now, in the presence of all the self proclaimed campfire experts, you can ask yourself what can possibly go awry. Oh, let us count the ways.Someone decides to get the coals to burn hotter, thereby getting his or her face close to the fire, blowing on the coals, thereby acquiring smoke, soot and in all probability sparks in their eyes, nose and lungs. We sincerely hope they do not lose their balance during this feat.The person who arranges coals or burning logs with their shoes or boots with their feet still in them has probably performed more intellectual endeavors in his or her life. But no matter. This footwear can be replaced when he or she gets back to the city.Resourcefulness was mentioned earlier. Ladies and Gentlemen, presenting the wood burning stick. Maintaining a campfire with a stick found in the woods or along the trail is probably the most common and convenient way. This procedure has likely occurred since the invention of fire.Convenient and resourceful, this common campfire tool can be used up, thrown away and replaced as often as needed. However, accidents can still happen as the burning stick is not always strong enough to move some burning logs or coals. Sometimes they are not even long enough.There is a solution for the camper who likes to plan ahead. Enter the wrought iron campfire poker. No more burnt shoes, fingers or faces around the campfire.
