What is the best way to prevent a root fire? What do I have to look out for? Causing a forest fire is one of my biggest /out/ fears, and the fact that underground root-fires can happen just makes it so much more bothersome.
What can I do to prevent this from happening? Most people say I should drench the place in water afterwards, but this is not feasible, as I´m restricted by carrying weight. I can´t take 5 liters of water with me, just to make sure I don´t cause root fire.
A friend of mine almost burned down a forest, even though he was as careful as possible. He put out the fire, and when he came back, 2 days later, the whole ground was still smoking.
