Camp fire smoke

Being this is a "hot" topic lately that I'd share this. My Brother in law had his campfire going sun up to about 10:00 at night for 5 days. He is one of those that brings about 3/4 load of wood and for 5 days burns. That was 3 weeks ago. Today was the first day RV didn't smell like smoke. This year, I took a dryer sheets and hung them all around and put several on a/c to have air blown on sheets, really seemed to help. Worked better than Fre breeze. Kept rv door and windows open weather permitting.

  • Yep, big foot or Sasquatch (whatever you want to call them) still here. Here he is going camping, well that is after he forked over money to the state. Wonder how big of campfire he'll make? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTNtQOc6qKE

    Make him build his fires down wind from you rig.
    I try. Last year we thought we had the prevailing winds right but we blew it. Maybe next edition of google maps will have wind direction?:B Hard to tell wind direction from campground maps if never been there before.
  • Wait a minute, wait a minute, WAIT....A.....MINUTE.

    I thought I only had to worry about BIGFOOT in the Pacific North West now I have to worry about Dinosaurs?

    I always have a campfire and the RV smells of it for days, just reminds me of camping for days after I get home, aw the sweet smell of the outdoors..............

    I NEVER gave a thought to dinosaur attacks. Now I'll be constantly looking over my shoulder. I hope that's just a Pacific Northwest thing. Some of us flat landers are best left in the dark.
  • A camper does not smell right If it does not smell like campfire. You should always smell smoke when you open the door.
  • Many folks are afraid of dinosaur attacks so they keep a fire burning 24/7.
    I'll bet your brother in law was not attacked by dinosaurs. You should have just given him the dryer sheets. They keep mice and dinosaurs away.
