"SHERYL MCGLOCHLIN: Hi, this is Sheryl with ExpertVillage.com. And we're talking about building a campfire in our backyard in the snow. Now, containers--your fire needs a container but there's a few other types of containers that you also need. One is a place to store a lot of wood. This is one of the containers that I use when we cut up the logs. And this is just some garbage we'll throw out but when we cut up the logs, we need to be able to have a place to store the wood and another important container that we need is to keep the shovel and the axe. And you can use a nice hard plastic container for that. Matches, newspaper and your water container so it's all contained in one place so when you take off and do a camp out, it's all together and you can go ahead and just have all your supplies in one and all of your wood. In the winter, you've got to keep your wood dry and a container is critical in order to keep your wood dry or you'll have a hard time building that fire in the first place."
