I absolutely adore keeping the fire going. I was a white man for decades so i'm not dodging the allegations. I have never been camping where i was not the last person awake and always keeping the fire just right until all the wood was gone.
It's all about the air flow. Too much and everything burns too quickly in a roaring furnace, too little and you have no light and not enough heat. By constantly adjusting the logs you can maintain the proper air flow to keep everything just right. Rotating a log to present fresh wood to an eager flame here. Squeezing two logs a little closer to reduce the oxygen and trim things up there. A proper fire adjusting stick (and a backup) is crucial.
Give me a stack of seasoned wood, a k-bar, a magnesium fire starter and a comfy camp chair and i'm in heaven from the time the sun sets until the wood runs out.
I feel like someone's gotta ask: Are you no longer a white man?
Too much soot from staying near the fire
My lungs have turned black.
Probably a trans woman? From the name and Fed instance.
from the name??
this is going to mess with me when i make my next account 😂
My take is that 'violetsoftness' just seems like a feminine username. So if you used to identify as male but now use that username, I also guessed trans woman. The name itself doesn't necessarily make me think trans, just fem.
For whatever it's worth, I think it's a great name! It gives a nice, friendly vibe, like you would be fun to hang out with.
<3
@Alxe has it, I am now a white woman :)
reverse Micheal Jackson?
Solidarity from another former white guy and campfire enthusiast.

I read this in Ron Swanson's voice.
I love when I get back home and even after a shower and laundry, my hair and clothes still smell smokey.
