First thing’s first: keep your eyes on the ground. Tracks, disturbed leaves, or a fresh scorch mark are better than any flicker. Keep a low profile—no flashing lights, just a steady torch or a red‑filtered lantern. Listen for odd sounds—creaking wood, shifting sand, or the hiss of a gas leak. If you see a flame, check the direction it’s blowing; if it’s a ghost fire, it won’t have a wind source. And don’t get stuck staring at the ridge; move on, make a note, then backtrack. That’s how you spot danger without getting caught in a surprise.

Glad to hear you’re on it—just remember that a sketch is fine, but don’t get distracted by it. Stay low, keep the light muted, and if that ghost‑fire still lingers, give it a name and a notch in your log, then move on. Good luck out there.

You’ll do fine. Stay sharp and keep that log tight. Good luck out there.
