Part 1: Collecting Firewood

Collecting firewood is an essential first step in preparing for a meal cooked over an open flame. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

  1. Choosing the Right Wood:

    • Types of Wood: Hardwood such as oak, hickory, and maple burns longer and produces more heat compared to softwood like pine, spruce, and fir. However, softwood is easier to ignite and can be used to start the fire.
    • Dry Wood: Look for dead, dry wood. Green wood, which is freshly cut, contains a lot of moisture and doesn’t burn well.

  2. Tools Needed:

    • Axe or Hatchet: For chopping larger pieces of wood.
    • Saw: For cutting branches or small trees.
    • Gloves: To protect your hands from splinters and blisters.
    • Backpack or Carrying Sling: To transport the wood.
