This pyramid fire from my last camp.

Step 1: Collect logs and stack. Gather about 5 logs of different sizes, starting from large to small, in order to build the pyramid. Stack them in a pyramid form (like in the picture below) by playing 5 of the same size parallel to each other on the ground, then placing another smaller stack in a perpendicular direction. Create anywhere from 5 to 7 layers.

Step 2: Add tinder. Leave a bit of space at the top layer of logs.

Step 3: Top off with kindling. Place a good amount of kindling over the tinder and top layer of the pyramid.

Step 4: Light the tinder. Go through the logs and start a fire where the tinder is. While you can use any fire starter, we recommend our waterproof.

Fire should last for over an hour without any maintenance.
