Bring MREs and freeze dried ice cream sandwiches

wow, this playoff at Fedex St Jude

Always idiots around who ruin it for everyone else.

If common sense was actually common there would be no need for fire bans.

Hopefully your camping trip went well despite not being able to have a campfire.


I am going at the end of the month Unlikely the ban will be lifted. It's one of those things that can not really be enforced though. Too much ground to cover with a limited staff.

If you are in the bush it comes down to personal responsibility and judgement. Such a shame people are actually dumb enough to 'accidentally' start a forest fire.

Lol I mean it was no different. As long as we had csa approved shit, it was fine. Got this portable campfire which was fueled by a propane tank. The open flame was so fucking big, you can feel the heat from a distance.

Park Rangers frequently drive by and check, and I asked why we can't use a charcoal grill cuz there wouldnt be much flame and its encased in the grill. He said its only allowed if its csa approved lol. We show him the gigantic open fire and he's like yep, that's ok cuz it's csa approved. Like wut lol.

I put my grill over that thing, and put our skillet over it to cook steaks and shit. It was good shit, but still not the same creating a campfire with wood.

I bet you that someone related to the government making decisions of the fire ban went camping on the long weekend, cuz it wasn't banned then, especially when it was during a heat wave. They banned it a week after, when it actually started to rain and cool down a bit lmao.

i would think its generally open fires that would be banned as a simple piece of ember caught in the wind could burn down an entire forest
usually the portable fire pits are somewhat enclosed they have openings but are like fenced in sorta deal and a lot less shit blows out
but yeah you can still use them to cook and stuff its not too bad

Guys. Propane firepits don't make embers. It's just a clean burning fire.

Charcoal, especially when you ignite it in a chimney and get the coals screaming hot produces a ton of embers.

Buuuut. Charcoal once lit is very ez to control and put out. There are just many inexperienced people out there when it comes to Charcoal.

that's what i was thinking as well, the portable fire isn't really encased at all. It sorta looks like this, but much bigger.

my charcoal grill is fully encased, and the lid would close it completely.

The built in pit at the campsite is even more enclosed than the portable one we brought.

The logic i don't understand is that CSA approved ones are easy to put out the fire, like shut the propane off and the fire will be off... yeah... except an open flame that's big as half my body can catch something else on fire with the wind etc. how are you shutting that off? lmao.

whatever, they obviously didn't really think it through.





to me, it's many inexperienced people in general with 0 common sense. They're just taking the safest approach and not want to risk anything. However, with that same logic, i wouldn't really trust dumbasses to use a propane fuled fire pit either as the open flame is huge and if they don't position it somewhere safe, they could cause fire anyway. Like the other campsite near us manage to accidently burn a building paper they brought, like what?
