![]() ![]() I remember very vividly as a kid sitting in front of a campfire and listening to someone tell ghost stories. ![]() It is simply a great way to connect with people, so the more fires the better! We met a lot of people on the road who became lifelong friends, just by simply inviting them (or they invited us) over for a campfire. You might be saying ‘what?!’ to this one, but there’s something about starting up a fire and inviting people over that helps make the conversations flow easier. I also don’t enjoy laundry piling up faster because we need to wash outer layers of clothing that have been around the campfire to get rid of that smoke smell.Īfter traveling for a bit, we quickly realized that everything we owned would soon smell like campfire smoke 24/7.

There are a few reasons why our nights by the open fire dropped in frequency as we traveled north up to Canada and then down through Washington, Oregon and California: Fire Bans We thought we would (a) use the campgrounds’ fire pits and (b) prefer a traditional wood fire instead of a propane one.
