Fire!

[AUS-BNE-FISHO]

Hi all

I know it is not strictly related to fishing, but here is a decent fire I made last night for the Cub Scouts - 

 

Stoking It

Getting the Coals

That's on fire, alright!

Some good coals

The final product - some scones!

This would probably go nicely at an AFO social?

Cheers Hamish

P.S. @ellicat, would you mind moving this to the 'Outdoors' category - when creating a topic in the category it does not tag properly. Thanks

Looks the goods mate. 

I love cooking on open fires. That flavor is something else imo.  

They are also extremely hypnotic. I can stare at them for hours. Lose time deep in thought or just switched off from the world. 

 You'll make plenty of fires throughout your life while camped on the side of a creek fishing. 

 

 

 

I did venturers for a little at Victoria pt when I was 16. More of a hang out kinda thing.

I wasnt a patched member so to speak, i just had friends that attended so the bloke running it let me hang out there with them. Had a ball. Unfortunately I started working and well, never returned. But they taught me my knots that I use every day.

Good bunch of folks down there at Vic pt....and up at karingal.

Just remembered you were chasing firewood a month ago before my Glenlyon trip. I have a 15kg bag you can have next time we meet. Remind me as I am old and forgetful.

Cool video.

Nice one mate. Tugger organises some awesome camp oven cooking at the socials. A huge feast.

Hey Junky

(Bit late getting back on this thread. Oops)

Yep, I love cooking on fires. They are very fun to just sit around and keeping going. I need to get out camping sometime!

The knots are very handy. I like them as I can impress my mates when I'm the only one in the class who knows how to lash.  

I've camped at Karingal before. Like most places, I like it there!

Hey ellicat

That would be perfect. If/when we cross paths (I guess weather dependant), I'll happily take it!
