Learn how to start a fire in a fire pit using the log cabin method. This is the best way to start a fire if you plan to cook over it, and it can also work great if you just want to sit around and enjoy the ambiance (and heat) of the flames.

I (Jon - the guy in the video) originally learned fire building in Boy Scouts (I'm an Eagle Scout), and I'm excited to be able to share the skill with you!

It'll just take a few easy steps, and you'll want to pay attention to the three types of wood that you'll need to properly assemble your fire lay:

1. Tinder
2. Kindling
3. Fuel wood

Other than that, you just need a match (or lighter) and some newspaper or a firestarter, and you're ready to light a fire in your fire pit!

If you have any questions about this process (or other types of fire building structure) please leave a comment below, and I'd be happy to answer. I intend to reply (or react) to every comment on the channel. So say hi!
