“The fire is the main comfort of the camp, whether in summer or winter, and is about as ample at one season as at another. It is as well for cheerfulness as for warmth and dryness.”
~Henry David Thoreau
“Human beings have always been fascinated by campfires. Everyone will be around the campfire, putting little twigs in it, arranging the logs, staring into it. The campfire is a magnet. It’s the center of human activity.”
~Doug Wood, a storyteller, guide and author from Sartell, Minnesota
