anyone ever try a "Scout" fire?

I have done this with heated rocks. Mark Baker's LongHunter videos show this technique too. He buries the fire allowing a vent hole. The same way you would make char underground.

That's where I first saw this. Great series.

Never done it in the woods with an actual fire, but it was something I did with tea lights and small candles and quilts or blankets in an urban environment trying to thaw out. I had all but forgoten about that. It is a technique that can save limbs.

that might work pretty well
I wouldn't want to spend too many nights propped up against a tree w/ a fire between my legs

Thats exactly how my friend described gonorrhea to me
