Most of us know how to build a camp or survival fire for immediate heat, cooking and purifying water.
For a long, cold night, however, that type of fire, while great for centralized, immediate heat is awful at burning through the night and providing adequate heat to ward off the elements.
One answer to that dilemma is the “long fire.” The long fire is a very robust platform fire that will create immense amounts of heat for an extended period of time.
It provides so much heat, you have to be careful where you place your shelter to avoid it melting or even catching fire.
The video on the next page will show you how to set up the platform, the type of kindling to use and what fuel you need to keep your long-fire burning through the night.

Your tent is a bit close to the fire though… it’ll make that tarp awfully warm and melting.
This is very important info. I recently went camping with my grandson. Out of the thirty plus sights, only three had fires. Yes, I was one of the three. It was cold and raining. The fire kept us warm.
