The summer has seen disastrous wildfires ravage forests and grasslands across the dryer parts of the country. Don’t take any chances of starting a conflagration with your campfire.

Some national forests will require that all campers and boondockers have these items if you plan to build a campfire outside of an approved fire ring.
