Check restrictions ahead of time

Know the fire restrictions before you go on an outdoor fire pit trip. Oftentimes, outdoor hiking area managers will give some fire requirements, especially during fire-prone seasons. Along the hike, pay attention to signs and postings regarding wildfire and forest fire prevention. Note that in some areas, fire control will be stricter during fire-prone seasons. It is your responsibility for hikers to be aware of these requirements.

Don't use fires that are too high and too thick

Large amounts of firewood rarely burn completely, and generally leave campfire remains such as black charcoal, thus affecting biological recirculation.

Where fires are allowed to be raised, you should use existing fire pits

Only in an emergency should you build a new one yourself, and if conditions permit, it should also be restored to its original state after use. If the outdoor fire pits are already there, you should clean them up when you leave.

Remove all potentially burning materials from the vicinity of the fire pit

Ideally, the area you use for your fire should be non-combustible, such as dirt, rocks, sand, and other materials. The constant heat will impoverish otherwise healthy soil, so you should be careful where you choose your fire site.

If you are living in an emergency to save your life, then it is understandable that you have not considered the continued use of the soil. However, do not destroy the natural landscape too much. At such times, fire starters and waterproof matches will be something useful for you. Outdoor fire pits and alternative fire rings can also be used. You can use tools and make a 15 to 20 cm high circular platform using mineralized soil (sand, light-colored poor soil). Use this as your place to make a fire. If conditions allow, you can build this platform on a flat rock. This is mainly to avoid damaging any soil where plants can grow. After you are done with the fire, you can easily push the firing platform away. Some people even take something like a grill pan out to serve as a mobile fire platform.
