Did one recently with a ton of yard waste.. mostly a ton of branches from a fig tree and dried up weeds and some old rotted fencing. Did like a bonfire. Fat wood and one of those DeWalt battery powered leaf blowers is all it took. Was kinda cool, it took about an hour to catch but once it started to smolder it turned it all to dust. This dude here is trying to make a pit to boil or some type of furnace or something not just a little campfire. 🔥

I understand the fact that feeding a fire oxygen makes it strengthen but why would someone need to stoke a fire like that in the first place? what’s the benefit?
Maybe if you plan on using the fire for an extended amount of time, and if you know it’s gonna rain later, the effort required to build a fire this way would be beneficial?

Bellows, people, bellows.

That’s rad as hell actually

It’s not just that they’re using a bellow but the structure design of the fire itself that’s the neat part
This is a fucking great way to speed run root fires

Breaking news, fire still needs air to burn. More news at 11

plastic has only been around for somewhere around 80 years or so.

Or, you could make the fire ABOVE GROUND!

Yeah. Like I’m gonna did a hole when I can just blow twice on it

Seems like alot of work to dig 2 holes and a tiny tunnel when you could just breathe on it for pretty much the same results

OMG. I’ve been looking forever to find out the name of this physical phenomenon, the way they filed up the bag with air so quickly.
It had an Italian name with “effect” attached… Something like Bertolli Effect, Bernucci effect. Something along those lines. Any civil engineer or clever redditor that knows the name of this effect, where the air creates turbulences and drags more air with it?
I’m trying to find out the name for ages and it drives me crazy

_”Ancient engineering that modern campers still use”_
Bellows were invented around 3000 BCE, in the bronze age.
They are less than $10 on Amazon.
This is modern plastic engineering that lazy campers use because they didn’t think to bring a cheap tool.

Ancient engineers using plastic bags
This starts root fires which can lead to forest fires.
Billow Baggins was named after this
That “modern camper” looks a lot like the Russian military that’s committing genocide in Ukraine.
It’s just a makeshift bellows. But it’s cool, it works.
Campers? Dude is in fatigues wearing a sidearm.
Here you go sir, my downvote. 🫡
Im sure “ancient” people will understand.
Ancient engineers used plastic bags? That’s interesting
maybe the ancients used napsacs? 😂
Modern campers now use electric leaf blowers
Except it used to be sheep stomachs.
russian soldier not “camper” – also as pointed out dangerous for subterranean fires and on par with russian soldiers destruction of land
Improv bellows nice
Well, this makes me feel dumb. I never would’ve thought of that.
So this is the ancestor of the plastic bag?

Known as the Dakota fire pit

Plastic bags should be really difficult to find

Reminds me of the kivas we saw at Mesa Verde.
Modern camping… righttt..
It’s still a bellows, just janky.
Ancient plastic bags.
