There are many different ways to build a fire, but one of the most common is the tipi or cone shape. This kind of fire has a circular base that allows plenty of oxygen to pass through and feed the fire. Start by laying your tinder on the ground in the center of where you want your fire to be. Then take your kindling and arrange it around the tinder in a tipi shape. From there you can start arranging your firewood in the same tipi shape around the tinder and kindling. Now, you can take your flame source and use it to light your tinder. Gently blow air onto the tinder to stoke the flame until the kindling catches. If necessary, you can stick more kindling between the cracks of firewood until the firewood itself catches. Once the main firewood has caught fire, maintenance of a tipi fire is easy. When the fire needs more wood, simply lean another piece against the frame.
