I'm always prone for strange things to happen. I have a feeling putting hot coals under my chair would fall into that category.
Would have to go back to school again an learn better on how not to burn hehe...
I burned up a great pair of boots cocking my feet up on one of those coleman green 1950s catalytic heaters. Lost my lucky camping hat once leaning over the fire.
Even today we still do the MR BUDDY heater alot sitting outside around the patio with a nice bon-fire going close by.
One time tent camping we put up a tarp for a wind break and warm and cozy with our camp fire going.
Fall and early winter is our best camping times with our off-road POPUP camper... We like to find a nice knoll spot up on the mtns here just off the forest roads behind Harrisonburg VA where the wooded VA/WVA wooded state line runs. Then stay there for a few days...
This google photo is near a place called FLAGPOLE KNOB Georg Washington Natl Forest...
