\"Fire<\/p>\n

One of the most attractive parts of camping in the woods is enjoying a blazing campfire and all that it inspires…campfire songs, roasted marshmallows, and family togetherness.\u00a0 Packing up the car with tents, food, sleeping bags, and all the other accoutrements of camping can be time consuming, though, and it’s not always worth it to do all that work for just a night or two of camping out in the woods.<\/p>\n

If the campfire is what you love most about camping, then consider camping out in the backyard.\u00a0\u00a0Set up the tents and sleeping bags behind your house, and\u00a0create your own safe backyard campfire with a fire bowl, fire pit, or fire ring<\/a>.\u00a0 All of these choices\u00a0do the job of containing a fire and make it easy to extinguish the fire once it’s time to pack it in for the night.\u00a0\u00a0Most fire bowls, fire pits, and fire rings are portable, so you can still\u00a0take them on a traditional camping trip in the woods or to a bonfire on the beach.\u00a0 S’mores, anyone?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
