How To Build An Upside Down Campfire

If you long for nights where you can prod and play with a pile of burning wood – this isn’t a tip for you. On the other hand, if your idea of a relaxing night by the fire involves stacking wood, and lighting it once – we’ve got a method that’s right up your alley. It’s called an Upside Down Campfire – and if done correctly, requires no fire maintenance.

The trick to a successful Upside Down Campfire, is to start with the largest of your firewood on the bottom of the pile. In a traditional campfire, you’d start with the smallest kindling and tinder on the bottom – working your way up to adding larger logs as the fire burns. Using the Upside Down method, you’ll build your fire base in a log-cabin fashion. Adding the smaller wood criss-crossed as the fire builds up, eventually adding your kindling and tinder to the top of the fire. Get it started even quicker with our favorite firestarter. 

Check out the video above – we’d love to hear your thoughts!
