Logger, you seem to know how to keep a fire alive when the rain comes down hard. Got a trick or two to share?
Logger Logger
Use a good base of dry kindling and make a small fire first. Cover it with a blanket of leaves or a sheet of bark so rain can’t soak it. Build a windbreak with rocks or a log pile to keep the wind off. Keep a supply of tinder—dry bark, pine needles, or even a paper cube—on hand. If the rain starts, tuck the embers under a rock or a sturdy log and keep adding small pieces of dry wood. Keep the fire small at first, then let it grow once the rain eases. That’s all you need.

Nice tips. Keep the fire small and use the rocks as a shield. If it starts to flood, you’ll want a good stash of tinder just in case. You’ve got the basics covered—now just make sure you’ve got enough wood when the rain stops.

Right. Get a pile of dry logs ready, maybe stack a few in a clear area so you can grab them fast once the storm clears. Stay on guard, keep the fire under control, and watch the water level. That’s how you keep the warmth going.

Good plan. Stick to the low profile, keep a sharp eye on the wind. When the storm eases, grab the logs and keep the fire tight. Stay quiet, stay sharp.

Thanks. I’ll keep my eyes on the wind and the water level. A quiet fire is the safest.
