On this interesting subject, today <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@AventurasEntresierras\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Aventuras Entresierras<\/a> (a YouTube channel that I recommend you subscribe to) <strong>has published a video showing their equipment for making a fire on a camping trip or in a survival situation<\/strong> (I confess that there is some method that I didn't even know about, you always learn new things by following that channel). The video is in Spanish; you can activate automatic English subtitles in the bottom bar of the player:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kit de Fuego - El Fuego en la Supervivencia y el Bushcraft.\" width=\"665\" height=\"374\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HbF3zwPieSk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>AN IMPORTANT NOTICE:<\/strong> Before starting a campfire, remember to take all necessary precautions to insulate it (for example, placing rocks around the area where you plan to build the campfire) and avoid starting a forest fire. Also, <strong>be cautious when lighting fires<\/strong>, and be sure to check if there are any forest fire bans in your area or at that specific time due to the risk of forest fires.<\/p>\n<p>---<\/p>\n<p><small>Photos: Elentir.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Of all the discoveries made by humans since the dawn of humanity, one of the most important was the ability to make fire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[19536,25242],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-59689","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-we-said-yesterday","category-survival"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59689"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59689"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59689\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59689"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59689"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59689"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
