Camping pleasure for pyromaniacs!

 To start a bonfire, begin by gathering items, such as newspaper, twigs, and logs, to burn.  Then take individual sheets of newspaper and twist them, and place the twisted papers into the bonfire pit. 

 

Next, you can begin to place other items into the pit, in particular twigs.  You might want to gather up a variety of things that you wouldn’t mind burning, such as leaves and trash.

 

The next step is lighting the twisted newspaper and twigs in several places, using a lighter or matches.

 

Now you can add more twigs and logs, as you wish.
