Next add a few small pieces of kindling in a tepee shape above the tinder. Continue to add kindling as needed. After kindling is burning well, add fuel around the kindling according to the fire need. DO NOT add tinder and kindling too fast. Fire must have air to burn.
Different fires are better suited to meet specific needs.
The tepee type provides a quick hot fire and a good source of light. To construct, continue adding larger pieces of kindling and fuel in a tepee shape. The log cabin type offers a good source of heat and useful for cooking. To construct, add fuel in a square, log cabin pattern. Whatever type of fire that you select, be a good steward of resources.
