I've been thinking about how to build a fire with just sticks and bark, and make it efficient without drawing attention. Got any practical tips?

Sure, keep it small and low‑profile. First find dry bark and thin sticks—your tinder. Let the bark dry a bit in the shade, then crush it between your palms to make a fine powder. Next, use a few small twigs to create a V‑shaped nest; place the tinder in the center. Light a slow, controlled flame on the outside of the V, so it spreads inward. Blow gently, but not hard, to avoid smoke. As the twigs catch, add progressively larger sticks, keeping the pile low so it stays hidden. Finally, let it simmer—once you’re ready to use the heat, you can quietly add a larger log. Stay still, move slowly, and keep the fire small and steady to avoid attracting attention.
