Friendly Fires
« on: October 20, 2021, 09:55:05 PM »
A warming fire can really chase off the blues and re-charge the mind on any day but when its cold or wet a fire can be a game changer. Many a time a quick fire helped me close out an otherwise discouraging day with a positive attitude.

Share your bowhunting fire photos and stories.

First you can harvest phatwood, the pitch impregnated wood from (usually) pines. Here is my years supply before getting broken down into spits.


Sometimes it snows during archery in the mountains.


About to get back at it!

Learn, practice and pass on "leave no trace" ethics, no matter where you hunt.

 Nothing like agood like a good fire….. :campfire:
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Have enjoyed some of my best times in hunting camp sitting around a nice warming fire.   :campfire:
