Campfire Activities

Camping is not only about fun. You might face some challenges while camping. Forgetting crucial pieces of tent or ground sheet. You reach late to your destination and do not find a perfect place for tent. Any leak in the tent or forget to bring insect repellants. Your camping stone does not turn on, or you run out of gas. The compass you are using is not working correctly, or the needle is stuck. What if you cannot light the fire for camp?

Here are some solutions that are useful to prevent such hindrances:

  • Checklist: Make sure you prepare a list before leaving so that you do not forget anything such as insect repellants, binoculars, and sheets, etc.
  • Gas stove: Be sure that you do not run out of gas. If the stove does not turn on, shake the gas cartridge. If it makes more noises, then it means it has lesser gas inside, and you need to fill it with gas. If it still not works, reconnect hose to the connectors and try turning it on.
  • Lighting the fire: Firewood should not be wet and do not camp in areas where there is wind. Dry wood chips or creating fire with metal bars are more reliable ways for lighting fire.
  • Stuck needle of the compass: Sometimes the needle gets stuck because of static electricity in clothing. Electric charge can disperse by rubbing some water on the case of the compass.
