" Hi! My name is Dan and I’m here with Expert Village. Right now we’re going to talk about the importance of having lots of water when having a campfire. Before you light your fire, it’s nice to have a pot of water on hand in case of an emergency. You can also use your water bottle. A wide mouth is nice because it allows you to pour a lot of water in one place. You can also have a water bladder which when spraying you can use to direct the spray. Also important, is to know where you can get more water in case your fire does get out of hand. So, our campsite right here, we’ve selected a spot right next to a pond. Those are a few of the things you want to think about with selecting your campfire location and knowing where your water is. "
