Matthew Lee That is “”awesome”” and true.. wish people would give the smart phones a rest.. Tell me How can you enjoy the people and what is around you with your face stuck in your Phone..
it’s so good, the smart phones, tablets and technology seem to disappear around the camp fire and people seem to talk to each other without distractions……and people seem to listen to what others are saying, when there’s no distractions, its good.
I love the conversation and laughter around the camp fire..
Matthew Lee Thanks for the offer LOL 🙂 In fact I paid a visit there for the 99/Y2K New Years. My wife & I were actually on one of the billion boats out in Sydney Harbour for New Year’s itself. Figured if the world were ending that’s where we wanted to be.
Ed Schernau not sure if Ed’s on the same level of the rest, we’ll forgive and forget.
You shouldn’t need a campfire for cooking or warmth – it does a poor job at both. #MinimizeCampfireImpacts by bringing proper equipment. #PlanAheadAndPrepare . Campfires consume nutrients from the forest, lead to erosion and (often) collect unsightly trash. #BeConsiderateOfOtherVisitors
OUCH, Time to move to Australia……we’ll let ya burn ya wood, we welcome you +Brian maddix.
Matthew Lee Burn bans were a foreign concept to me as well, only having moved to Austin from the east coast in 2006. Counties determine if a burn ban is in effect or not, not the state. Texas is BIG and some areas get enough rain consistently that they may never institute one while droughts are fairly common in others. It’s the drought conditions that make open fires risky. When you camp in Texas bring a gas stove and use a small lantern in place of a campfire. Clothes, etc., for warmth. You have to do what you have to do.
I should add that burn bans are instituted and lifted as the situation warrants.
Brian Maddix are you not allowed to have fire for cooking and warmth? It’s a sad state if that’s not allowd. I understand if it’s a total fire ban, but apart from that, you must have the rights for warmth & cooking?
Sadly burn bans are a thing here in Texas. However I have a campfire every time unless under a burn ban. I can’t say it’s the main reason I get outside but it sure is part of the program!
I love a solo camp out, turn the music off and just watch & listen to the campfire at night, then sit back & enjoy the stars.
It makes you feel alive
