Breaking Down Fuel For Snow Fires

Okay, you’ve got your platform. You’ve got your wood. It’s time to start propping your wood. The main thing to remember is I want to get it in the three or four distinct sizes. This I would call more of a medium size which is about thumb size in diameter to finger size in diameter. There are also pieces that are pencil size and I just break those apart trying to be fairly neat about it and organized and get my poles. Then you have the bigger sizes, bigger than your thumb size as you start getting in an arm size those should be the last stage of your fire. The other thing if you notice where in the Pacific Northwest where there's a lot of moist on this wood on a dry daylight today this is great stuff. You can actually use it to start you fire. It’s called the goat’s beard. In fact I'm going to save a little bit of that for my tinder and put it on my tinder pile.
