How to Make a Fire in Wet and Rainy Conditions - Finding Dry Kindling and Tinder

Everything in the woods is wet from all the rain and snow that we've been getting,, so I have to find dry material to be able to make my fire. I demonstrate how I would normally do that.

    Backpacking in the Great Smokies is a good way to learn about making campfires (all my cooking) and tent set-ups in the wet. And about camping/hiking in black bear country. I always looked for dead trees as I got kinda near my intended camp site. I tarped over my free-standing tent and would set it up on the slightest of knolls. All of this acquired practice paid off with comfortable dry experiences (half with wife/small children), while I saw many regular 'go light' hikers have difficult trips.

    I love the Smokies, one of my favorite places to visit. Lots of rain and black bears for sure lol I've never seen so many anywhere else. And yes it's the little things a lot of people overlook, like you said setting up camp on slightly raised ground.. small details like that you learn to pay attention to when you have experience

    If your wood is really wet, ie. 3 days of continual rain, large pieces of bark on top of your ignited fire protects from additional rain and reflects/concentrates the heat to improve drying. Love your channel brother, excellent tutelage!

    Oh yes. I did this for years. I builded ground ovens to cook on. A scouting team was left in the cold ones, they couldn’t figure it out. 3 adults and some teenagers. My fire was pretty big and I was nice and toasty while they couldn’t get a flame going. 😂 Well they had their pride and didn’t ask. They just looked very stern towards me.

    I agree with you that a lighter is less reliable that the rod but I would say that it depend on which lighter you buy. The Bic lighter is the best lighter there is in my opinion. Even if you drop it into water, you can just blow into it for a minute than roll it onto your thigh to finish drying the flint. It is smaller than a rod and also lighter. Honestly, i brarely bring my rod with me anymore. 2 bic lighters are my go to.
