This is our camping trip to Stony Brook, near Dansville, NY. The guy in the white shirt is me; the lady feeding the fire is my fiance, Lisa.

We started the fire from rolled up newspaper. I dug a hole in the shape of a cross underneath the two fires to provide aeration.

I chopped down the tree (partially, it was already downed, hanging onto the dirt by a big root), and chopped it up. The picture of all the organized firewood is the wood I chopped up and organized during the day for the fire.
