Let’s dive into the gear list!
Gear And Tools For Starting A Fire
Since you’re going to cook over a fire, you want to make sure you have the right tools and supplies for starting and maintaining your campfire.
1) Firewood
Depending on what you’re cooking, you might need to maintain a fire for a couple of hours. Make sure you have enough wood for that.
Softwoods like pine burn much faster than hardwoods like oak, maple, and walnut.
Most bundles of firewood from the grocery store or gas station are pine.
This is totally fine, it just means that you’re going to burn through that wood much faster and therefore might need more of it.
2) Lighter
Of course, you’re going to need a way to start the fire, so don’t forget to pack a lighter.
3) Tinder or Fire Starters
You’ll need tinder, newspaper, or fire starters to get the fire started easily.
If you love DIYs like me, give these homemade fire starters a try!
4) Hatchet
Lastly, we have a hatchet. A hatchet is great for splitting firewood into smaller pieces.
