Video Transcription

once you've designated where you want to have to fire you want to start cleaning the spot for it it's going to get crashing through the wood behind me there's a bird chirping about it all right so you want to put a spot of where you're actually going to have your burning principles okay so where your fire what's going to be well you're ever is going to be the actual circumference then from there you want to push back at least two feet all the duck everything nice and clean you want to mess around with this stuff like I said actually have used this in the past and I actually have some pieces of some flakes and things from the making tools so I'm going to just be careful kicking some of this around because I don't want to disturb that I like to keep a little pile of shards of debris you know from my flakes from napping brands right at the edge of my pit so first thing I have to do is create my circumference of my actual burning circumference of where the edge of my embers and my fire is actually going to be burned like a look at my fire ring they all right so there's my firing right yeah now from this point all I'm going to do is now extend that two feet very simple and only takes a minute okay can I have my fire pit and I have a circumference around except for right here which is actually my pile of rocks that i use whenever I'm out here at boiling water disinfecting my water and I'm using rocks into the rocks i use so i don't have to go and look for rocks every single time keep my pile that i use right next to my fire pit so i can just reuse the rocks over and over save time save carol calories be more efficient only through the job once the finding stones so work well yeah it appears to be all of them now I'm going to extend my ring ok so now i have my firing all set up the actual burning radius actual fire pits going to be right in the middle i'm going to do just trade a slight bowl in the middle and build a fire
