| Re: Campfires
our ancsestors have been having fires using deadwood since it was discovered... the ash when left or scattered is good for the woodland floor and enriches the ground.. plus u spread seeds not burnt in the fire... i have about 2 or 3 fires a month while out walking .. just a quick cuppa or just for the pleasure of a fire.. its in our blood.. fire meant protection from animals. and light to see and most of all warmth... i'm lucky i have some lovely little woods near me and have a few places i stop and always use the same spot.. if i used a stove which i really don't like it would use gas or fuel that is also not good for the environment.. why do u think the aboriginis burn areas of the bush.. encourages new grothe and the new groth feeds the local animal life... sorry if it sounds like i'm going on a bit but i just feel a campfire is something we should all experience... as i said it stirs something inside.. go and see... responsibly of course.. he he james |
