Explains how to dispose of garbage after a bonfire, how to bury it, and where to bury it.

Overview

Dispose of the bonfire. This is important as the number one person in a bonfire, and I have to have the mind to burn a bonfire because I want to perfect the disposition. Leave No Trace.

It is said in various places that burn all the wood until it becomes white ash, but maybe it would be impossible or unrealistic to do it normally, so personally it is 120 points out of 100 points. I think it's fine. personally.
Of course, it's completely burnable, but it's hard to say that leaving ash is outrageous, but nobody explains how to burn it.
Although it is not realistic to burn out, it is professional to burn a bonfire while calculating so that it can be burned out as much as possible.

How to burn firewood

A man who will explain how to burn firewood from the side who said that it would be impossible to do it normally.
Basically, to burn out firewood Wait endlessly or Send oxygen artificially Is it either ?

Tips to burn out

There are some tips to quickly burn firewood, like this.

  • Break little by little
  • Crush into pieces
  • Split into pieces

Burning little by little, just burn one by two without throwing in the remaining firewood at once.
If you put a large amount of it, the fire power will be high at first and it looks like it will burn well, but it will stall when it becomes a fire or charcoal state. An image that slowly burns.
Inversely, if you put in little by little, when the first firewood stalls, the first bullet can be burned out with the firepower of the next bullet, so you can burn it smoothly.

"Crushing into pieces" is a method of increasing the area exposed to oxygen by breaking down the burning firewood. It's the same as breaking and cutting wood so that it burns easily.
It's almost impossible, but I think that you can burn it up cleanly by slicing it into pieces so that it doesn't get sour.
I should just hit it with my tongs, but be careful as sparks and ash may scatter.

To “break up” is to break up the charcoal and let each charcoal come in contact with oxygen.
However, this is also a method of extinguishing fire, so be careful with large firewood as it will not burn forever.
Imagine laying out fine fireballs flatly without swelling. In the case of an open fire, it is possible to spread the fire bed.

If it is buried in ash, it may remain as a fire even for one night, so be careful not to bury it in ash.
It's OK if you blow it regularly and blow off the ash.
In the hearth, the ashtray is covered with ash before going to sleep so that it will set on the fire immediately the next morning.

Wait until it burns out

If you think about white ash, you should be able to see it for 2 hours and 3 hours with enough time to burn it. The game is how much time can be saved from here.
Because it's hard to stick to a burning bonfire for a few hours, basically it's left alone, but if you occasionally send oxygen or stir it will be time consuming.

I will artificially send oxygen

This is the one that needs the same lung capacity as Navy Seals. It's easy to just blow with a fire stick until you fall out of oxygen and fall down. Please give my best regards to Enma.

Others

After that, you can replace it with a wood stove with a secondary combustion structure that has good combustion efficiency and burn it off while inserting a thin branch for burning, but it is easy to get ash, so I'm not used to it And it takes extra time.

But it is not realistic to burn out the firewood at the camp, but let's make a bonfire while trying to minimize the charcoal left.

Cleaning up at the campsite

There should be an ash dumping place for dumping charcoal and ash at a campsite, so be sure to discard the remaining charcoal there.
Because there are rules depending on the campground, follow those rules.
My teacher also said, "I am free in the category of rules, and I am free if I break the rules." Observe the rules to stay free.

Even if there is no ash dump, it doesn't mean that it should be buried in the ground, so fire extinguisher) It's a handsome work to bring back. If you don't have a fire jar, talk to the people at the campsite. Everyone is kind.

By the way, the oil pot that is sold even for 100 yen can be used as a substitute for a fire jar. (Be careful because it has heat)

Cleaning up in a camp

It's better to take it home with a fire jar at the campsite, but there is also a way to bury it in the soil for disposal.
The procedure is like this

  • dig a hole
  • put a fire
  • sprinkle water
  • stir
  • fill
  • tamp
  • camouflage

Drill a hole
First, dig a hole to fill the remaining charcoal and pilot fire. It is OK if the depth of 5 cm to 10 cm remains with the charcoal filled.
Be careful not to fill the river side. Dig a hole in a place that will not be dug up even if it rains and is flooded.

Insert fire seeds
Put the remaining charcoal and pilot fire in the holes, even if you call it burnt firewood It's no exaggeration to say that big items should be burned firmly, or leave them in a place where it is easy for the next person to pick up the firewood.
At this time, if you just leave it in a pot, it will be left "abandoned", so I think that "please use it" will be transmitted by picking up light wood and putting it together.

Sprinkle and stir water
Let's sprinkle with Java. Surprisingly light, so be patient.
Let's crush the charcoal while stirring so that the fire will disappear properly when sprinkled with water.

Fill and squeeze
When the heat is removed properly, bury the soil from the top and bury it firmly. Let's tread on. Don't let people you don't know step on.

Camouflage
Some people don't do anything else, but if you dug it and fill it with another ground The difference will occur, so let's not know where it was buried by sprinkling fallen leaves or pebbles.
Of course, if there is scattered white ash, it's enough to kick it with your feet, so try not to see it.

I'll leave youtube。

Point
There is no place to fill the charcoal, so "fill it in a bonfire to avoid filling it in various places." Or "fill in a corner that cannot be dug up".
Personally, I think it's better to fill charcoal in one place rather than randomly filling charcoal in various places, so it's a fact to fill it in a bonfire place, but depending on the place it is better to fill it in a corner There is also TPO.
When burying it in a bonfire, it's a good idea to put a charred stone in a furnace and put it on the side so that people who come next will know that "there was a bonfire here."

Charcoal doesn't return to nature so don't bury it! I think there is an opinion, but some scholar said, "I can't say that charcoal is a natural ingredient because it's a nutrient when the composition of stones is the same as that of stones and the oil of cooking has arrived." It was
I just need to bring it back with TPO, and I think either opinion is good.

Cleaning up on the firepit

When using a bonfire, be careful not to put water on it to extinguish it.
It may be okay depending on the object, but most bonfires will be distorted by being cooled rapidly when sprinkled with water.
Assembled bonfire, if it is also a compact thing, it may not be possible to assemble due to distortion.

If you want to extinguish a fire as soon as you pour water on it, put it on the ground once and pour water on it, or carry a fire jar with you.
If it is a direct fire NG, it is OK if you put a fire on the aluminum foil and water it.

Finally

When you see a bonfire that has been left behind, you don't have to be angry with SNS, but rather with the kindness of the burned dust to your bonfire. Let's live.
