Wild Fire season looks to be a long one this year.So can you camp without a campfire?I can and do most of the time. Alas the wife loves a fire so to please her we oxidize a little wood on occasion.Must be something to do with human evolution that so many must have a fire or they are not camping.Yet I think campfires and fire rings in remote places are unsightly, smelly, and just generally disagreeable.

I got the beer.. Who has the popcorn !?FYI... Health reasons now prohibit me from being close to a campfire :(

I'm the same pretty much. Don't have much for the smoke or smell. Happy just to sit around and talk a spell. Now I have thought of the gas fire rings. No smoke, no smell, heat on the cool evenings and you can still roast things on em.

Put in my vote for campfires. Whenever I smell wood smoke I think of camping. One goes with the other. Now keep in mind I do not have a fire every time I go camping but it is a nice thing to have when the mood swings that way.

The grandkids like to have smores. I prefer using the microwave and avoid the smoke and heat in the Florida summer. They prefer a fire. So, when they are camping with me, I acquiesce.

We got a Little Red Campfire and sit around it some times when we cannot have wood fires.
