Forming a Teepee with Wood for a Bonfire

Video Transcript

"Ok, now that we've, we're to the point to where we want to start building, in this particular instance we're going to build our fire into more of a tee-pee format type of bon fire. And, what I didn't mention before is that with bon fires, you know its obviously fire is alive, its breathing, it needs oxygen to burn. But not too much, and not too little. So, it's always a little bit of a fine line. But that's why we design it like this, so that fire can get in and under and through all of these twiggs so that it can breath and spread itself, and become alive and turn into that great bon fire that we want to see. Now that we've got our twigs laid across our two base logs, what we want to do is step up in size by about two or three times bigger than our smaller twigs. And what we're going to do is we are going to start doing the tee-pee type of bon fire. So you take these longer twigs and you just lay them across this way, more into a tee-pee type of form. And these, some of them are longer and you just start building them up so that it forms your tee-pee. So we're going to go around and we're going to do that to the whole all the way around, from the 12:00 to the 12:00 position. So that we're surrounding this, so that, to ensure that when the smaller stuff starts catching fire that it's going to spread around, no matter what direction the wind is blowing. Whether its at us, away from us, that its going to catch our taller stuff on fire and then spread nice and evenly. So, we're going to go ahead and finish this up and we'll catch up with you on the next clip."
