I've seen this.  Guess it for sheath but if I needed to make fire I can assure you I'd light a big ole FIYA so I could be seen and stay warm  :whistle:

Still, there's some good advice. Like being careful of the pine roots, not to cause a forest fire. Not over fuelling the pit, because the flames can get real high real quick.

Yes for sure.  Here in Cali thats a big no no in the back country.  Fire is always a big problem.  The Dakota fire hole in all seriousness is a good option for those reason and in windy conditions.
