Log Cabin Structure
(to the right)

Local Boy scouts built this Log cabin style bonfire. The Log cabin structure is most practical if you get hungry in the wilderness! Learning the skills to build and maintain this type of campfire is quite important, especially if you like roughing it. There’s nothing like cooking on an open fire!
