Why Campfires Are Important 

Camping, real, honest to goodness camping, requires a campfire. It just goes with the territory.

A good campfire does a lot of things for campers – it gives you light and heat, it crackles and growls, it helps you make a hot meal, purify water, and keeps animals away too. A campfire is one of the most important tools that a camper has – and it is one of the key elements that allow humans to survive in the wild.

For many people who set about on their camping expedition, a campfire goes beyond the practical things listed above. Campfires also provide campers with a feeling of being close to nature, it provides us with a central focus at the campsite – a place to gather around, share a meal, a story and some good times. It brings feelings of peace and feelings of comfort.
