QuestionHow do I keep a fire going all night?Britt Edelen was an active member of his local Boy Scouts troop near Athens, Georgia from ages 8 to 16. As a Scout, he went on dozens of camping trips, learned and practiced many wilderness survival skills, and spent countless hours appreciating the great outdoors. In addition, Britt worked as a counselor for several summers at an adventure camp in his hometown, which allowed him to share his passion for and knowledge of the outdoors with others.The rule of thumb is that at bare minimum, you need a pile of kindling that's roughly the size of a VW Beetle and then double that. It's a lot of kindling. In a pinch, you can always throw some twigs or pine needles in the fire as it's going out to give yourself a few minutes to go and grab some more kindling.

That's going to produce a ton of smoke. If you don't have water, soil or sand will work to smother the fire. Then, once it's out, poke it a few times with a stick or something to make sure the fire is totally out.
