You're headed down to Goshen, or just camping? Same activity, different council. Fearless Den Leader, Himself, and I will be in charge of the Den of Doom during Webelos Resident Camp. Muahahaha. but the problem in this case was more that building the fire required drying all the wood first, and you need wood to dry that wood, and so on in infinite regress. The only thing we could do when Hurricaine Dennis was an unregistered camper (we're far enough inland that we just got soaked) was to stash firewood under a tarp the first day we were there. By midweek, we were able to burn it. I think your solution of splitting the logs would work as well, but we didn't have the toold available last year.
