I may have an unpopular opinion.  I opine that campfires outside of real 
car type campgrounds have no place in the back country.  Leave no trace 
ethics would have us tred lightly on the land.  Campfire residue lasts 
for years and years and years.  In emergency - yes.  Otherwise, rule of 
thumb should be no fires. This is an opinion, not a statement of fact or 
truth...
