Another frosty November lunch in Calderglen

[G1ZmO]

Mel and I took a wee walk down our local glen to have lunch today.
We had some sausages, bacon, coffee and tea over a small campfire.

There's about 2 mins of video of me making the campfire.
Feel free to skip to 01:57 to see the photos (mostly taken by Mel) if you're not interested in the fire prep

As discussed, I like knowing 'how' to start a fire with the basics but sod dicking about with it if you just want to crack on. Life is a lot easier with a fire log.

I enjoy doing it 'properly' too, I get a lot of satisfaction out of it.

However, sometimes I like a fire, like NOW, not in 10 minutes (or more), I'll take the flak on my cheating.

I'm getting the impression that many of you are out more than in at home? I am such an amateur...……..
