Ten foot rule?

And don't forget, 15 feet from tent walls, trees or other flammable objects, by golly!

My kids couldn’t even wait. They were roasting them on the gas burner on the kitchen stove this evening.

It’s off to the forest tomorrow.

“Some experts advocate a 10-foot rule between young children and a campfire,” “

Experts at what?

I learned this young, and have verified it a few times:

White man make big fire. Burn’m belly, freeze’m @ss.

Indian make little fire. Sit on top. Keep warm all over.

If you do it right you can actually pile up stones and sit on top.

Or you can sort of curl up around it.

Have the bureaucrat who wrote the instructions actually do the task without: 1) burning the marshmallows or 2) setting himself on fire. My bet is on No. 2.

Resin pine, chipped and limbed, several log hunks for flair, some hardwoods for a long burn, oughta work.

How did any of us survive childhood?
You’d think nobody did to hear these office weenies tell it.

Agree. They definitely have too much time on their hands.

There is nothing as awesome as a flaming marshmallow flung through the air.

That’s the way I taught my daughter to do it, and God love her, at age 23, during a recent camping trip way back in the boondocks, that’s exactly what she was doing.

To: left that other site

Flaming marshmallows are a learning experience, but the best roasted marshmallows are done slowly until a caramel color - then they are warm and soft and creamy all the way through, and make the best S’Mores - melts the chocolate candy bar better.
Just My Humble Opinion!
