Learning the ranks

Rank 1

The triangle

Learn the triangle (heat, fuel, oxygen) and the progression: tinder, kindling, fuel wood. Practice feeding a small flame to life without smothering it.

Rank 2

Build it right

Build on bare ground or a stand, downwind of shelter, and keep it small. A fire you can step over is a fire you control.

Rank 3

Kill it dead

Kill it dead: drown, stir, drown again, touch-test the cold ashes. Outdoor ethics treat an unattended ember as a failure, because it is.
