Nuclearwind & IronWolf

Ever tried building a fire pit that can survive a sudden gale and still light a campfire without a match? I’ve got a plan that might outlast your wind‑breakers.
IronWolf
If you’re serious about a wind‑proof pit, make a stone ring with a vertical chimney, back it up with a teepee of dry branches, and line the floor with tinder that’s already been sun‑dried. A bow drill or flint‑steel combo will start the fire if you’ve got no match. And if the gale still blows the sparks out, just remember the wind is just testing how stubborn you are.

Good. Just keep the chimney as tall as the chimney of a smokescreen—no loose edges, no wind can sneak in. And when that gale hits, make sure the dry branches are packed tighter than a hunk of cash in a bank vault. Then you’ll have a fire that can outlast a storm, and a story you can brag about after the wind finally learns its place.

Tall chimney, tight branches, that’s the recipe. Just make sure the stack isn’t a pile of tinder on a stick—tight is good, but it still needs airflow to burn. Then you’ll have a fire that blazes through the gale and a tale that outlives the wind itself.
Nuclearwind
Sounds solid. Just keep an eye on the airflow—you don't want a smoldering ember that dies out faster than a gossip column. Stick to the plan, and that gale will have to take the heat from the fire itself.
IronWolf
Got it. Keep the airways clear, watch the ember size, and let the wind bite the chimney, not the fire. That’s how you turn a gale into a story you can keep alive.
