Upside down Fire – The no mess, easy to maintain, all night burn fire.
A while back I read about this thing called and upside down fire and had to give it a try. The theory is that you place alternating direction logs on top of each other similar to that of a log cabin, build a starter tepee fire on top on the stack and let her burn.
The greatest feature of the upside down fire is that you do not have to continually feed the fire. Built big enough, it will steadily burn all night long; thus making it the perfect “sleeping next to it” fire. There are a few cold nights sleeping outside I wish I had built one of these instead of waking every two hours to feed the fire.
An added advantage is the upside down fire will burn steady and not high and low as with the standard campfire, making it the perfect cooking fire.
This past weekend we went out and gave it a try. We made a small test fire. It worked just as planned, the fire that is, the video camera, not so much. Well, see for yourself.
