A campfire night does not need an elaborate setup. A safe fire source, comfortable seating, warm layers and a little lighting are enough to make a backyard or campsite feel inviting after dark.
Keep the setup simple
- Fire source: use a fire pit that suits the location and follow local fire restrictions and manufacturer instructions.
- Comfortable chairs: folding chairs are easy to move and store.
- Warm layers: gloves, a jacket and hand warmers help when the temperature drops.
- Soft lighting: lanterns make moving around safer without overpowering the fire.
- Fire-starting backup: carry a reliable lighter or fire starter where open fires are permitted.
