One of the most interesting things I learned about on my Survival classes was how to keep warm at night by building fire beds. The process is as follows:
1. Choose a spot where a fire bed was built before as this will make it much easier
2. Gather wood, gather more wood, and when you think you have enough wood, gather more
3. Dig out the fire bed down a few feet until you get to the rocks
4. Make sure the bottom of your hole is covered in flat rocks. They must be flat because
pointed rocks = burned buttocks!
5. Fill your hole with wood and start a fire that will burn or hours
6. When your fire burns down to coals, cover the coals with dirt.
7. Put a layer of pine needles for insulation over the whole and then lay down your tarp.
8. Sleep warmly all night with the heat from the coals having heated the rocks and radiating up to you.
This is such an amazing concept to me and everyone really did stay warm with only one army blanket. But the negative thing about fire beds is that it is a lot of work that takes up most of your day and you get filthy in the process of digging. Because of this I decided not to make one and I built a dabree hut instead the first trip and slept in a cave the second trip. Yes I was a little cold but it was better than spending my whole day working and getting filthy. Brittney said that I’m the only person in the history of survival to get out of making a fire bed!
