To be "Sitting around the Campfire" you gotta...

Build a Campfire

and here's how....

Split dead limb into fragments and shave one fragment into slivers.
Bandage left thumb.
Chop other fragments into smaller fragments.
Bandage left foot.
Make structure of slivers (include those embedded in hand.)
Light Match
Light Match
Repeat "a Scout is cheerful" and light match.
Borrow a lighter.
Apply flame to slivers, add wood fragments, and blow gently into base of fire.
Apply burn ointment to nose.
When fire is burning, collect more wood.
Upon discovering that fire has gone out while out searching for
more wood, soak wood with liquid from can labeled "kerosene."
Treat face and arms for second-degree burns.
Re-label can to read "gasoline."
When fire is burning well, add all remaining firewood.
When thunder storm has passed, repeat steps.

You can start a fire without matches by eating Mexican food, then breathing on a pile of dry sticks.

The guitar of the noisy teenager at the next campsite makes excellent kindling.

Lint from your navel makes a handy fire starter. Warning: Remove lint from navel before applying the match.

Glenn, I'm sorry to say I saw a GREEN camper actually using Coleman fuel on green limbs. He broke these limbs off a tree on his site, rolled them inside the firering and poured the fuel on them, lit the fuel and had a huge flairup, you know how the whole sky lights up. WHOOSH! Well needless to say, it didn't burn, soooo, he pours on more fuel. After the third time, there were some embers when he pours on the gas and you guessed it, he didn't need a match, it almost got to the can. The real sad part was he was showing his kids how to light a fire. We went over and helped him without making him look bad in front of his kids, I just hope he learned how to create a fire without burning someone or something.
