Types of campfires, bonfires pioneers

It is believed that the fire - a forerunner of fire, dangerous and unpredictable phenomenon.But if it is kept under surveillance, not to give him to grow, the hot flame can be very helpful.At stake cook food in field conditions, they are indispensable in the forest, in the forest and steppe.The fire will warm in the cold night, scare off predators and will indicate the direction when being sought.All kinds of fires, little is known, but some of them we will show you in this article.To start a fire, you need some experience, because not every log or piece of wood will burn.By choosing the fuel, it is necessary to follow a few rules.

First of all, it is not necessary to cut a living tree, it will not burn.Branches, twigs, small pruning trunks better to pick up from the ground - dead wood in the forest is dry, and the fire will light up immediately.To fire the day, in haste, suitable thin twigs, but if you park at night, you'll have to stock up with heavy logs.In this case, the flame will be steady, and the fire burned only in the morning.Of great importance is laying the fuel from being stacked logs and branches depends on how much you will be warm by the fire.

If we classify types of fires for their intended purpose, in the first list will be those intended for cooking.It is usually a small fire, which can be approached, removed or hanging pot.They do not have a strict scheme stacking logs, but they definitely need to dig in the ground to a depth of 10-15 centimeters.The heat from the burned-out chocks will be closed from the wind and a long time to cool down.If the opportunity to dig a fire there, the small logs is better to lay down next to each other, and set fire to wait, when the flame will pass its peak and start to subside.At this point you can start to cook.

Some types of fires are suitable for heating and drying wet clothes.Flames held them for hours on the same level.The fire of this type is called a "well" for him to be required logs length of 60-70 centimeters.It just fits.On two parallel lying logs (approximately half a meter), is placed perpendicular to the pair of the same, then the next couple - and so to a height of half a meter.In the middle of the "well" laid small twigs and ignited.Thus, the fire begins to burn from the middle.

very nice fire for the night in the forest - "nodya."For it will take two or three thick pine logs, length not less than a meter.Other species require fire wood for firing, and "nodya" ignited in an unconventional way.It fits the lower log, close to him hammering four peg, in such a way that between them could lay another same timber.A construct of two logs stacked upon one another.Between logs laid a thick layer of bark or moss.Then the bark ignited the entire length of "nodi" can be laid to sleep, the fire will burn all night.

special place in the list of "types of fires" takes a pioneer.He does not cook, do not use it for drying clothes.Pioneer fire belongs to the category of ritual or, more precisely, promoting.

Late in the evening when it was dark, the fire ignited a pioneer, usually built on the type of "tent" and "pyramid".

manner laid-long logs, boards, and dry branches provide powerful humming flames upward.

bonfire lit for long, a little over an hour, but during that time pioneer groups time to read the patriotic poems, the reason dance around him and sat down in a circle to sing a lot of favorite songs.
