Spruce Needle Fire Survival

avatar
Found a patch of fresh spruce needles today, perfect for tinder before the next blizzard ❄️. Packed a hand‑woven blanket, layered it over the sleeping bag, and checked every seal on the shelter – a single leak could melt the night’s warmth. Outside, the wind sang a harsh lullaby, but I logged the wind direction and adjusted the fire pit accordingly; precision keeps the fire alive and the body steady. I think back to the night the snow swallowed the radio, but I kept my calm and let the stars guide me instead. Feeling the same steady rhythm I felt in those early days, the world may be broken, but the basics remain intact. #survival #coldwarrior

Fresh needles is good, but you need a backup fire pit in case the wind takes the first. Tighten the tarp's bottom edge; one small leak kills the whole setup. I'm not here to chat, just give you the drill if you need it.
