"Keep Those Fires Burning" challenge

To celebrate the incoming spring season, I have decided to issue to anyone and everyone who reads this to participate in the first ever "Keep Those Fires Burning" challenge. The challenge is simple. Keep a fire burning from winter to spring. The idea for this is to instill the importance of maintaining a fire during cold nights during a survival situation. The other is to kick off spring with a fire. A common statement spread thorough-out the bushcraft and survival world is, "Without practice, you will lose the skill you've learned." Kicking off spring by building a fire testing parts of your kit. Sounds like just some good ole bushcraft fun to me.

So how to participate in the challenge. First is to have a fire started by 11:50 the night of March the 19th, this is will be the last minutes of winter. Make sure it is a decent campfire you can be proud of. Next, take a picture and post it on Twitter or Facebook with the hashtag #keepthosefiresburning, Bonus points if you live stream the event, which yours truly will be doing. After midnight take another picture and throw up the hashtag #anotherlogforyou. It's that easy. Just make a fire, take a picture, and post it with the hashtag #keepthosefiresburning before midnight. Then after midnight post another picture of the fire still burning with the hashtag #anotherlogforyou. Bonus points for doing it live. Tweet it @BPackBushCraft if you like or tag @BPackBushcraft on Facebook.

Looking forward to anyone who is up to the challenge. As always feel free to comment, share this blog, and check back next week for a new one. Follow me on Facebook: @BPackBushcraft and on Twitter @BPackBushCraft. Until next time, keep those fires burning and put another log on for me.
