A campfire that lasts all night without any stoking or adding of fuel is an elusive thing. As with most other survival skills, there is a trick to it. Watch below to find out what that trick is.

The inch-an-hour trick is a good lesson to learn. If you want a fire to burn all night, or 8 hours, you would typically want the logs to be at least 8 inches thick. Of course, that's with a dense hardwood, pine would burn much more quickly.

What you want is a slow burn that holds its heat all night. You could use this in a fire pit at a campsite to ensure some cooking embers in the morning or use it as it's presented for a shelter-warming glow.

This is an awesome trick for those of us who are sick of having to rebuild our fires over and over again.
