I'm a noob when it comes to /out/ stuff.
How do I SAFELY make a fire?
I mean, I know I need to collect branches, and i can use matches or a lighter to start the fire, then the fire needs air, etc.

But I mean: how do i set up my firespot so i don't accidently burn down the whole area?
My friend says you need to dig a hole and start the fire in there, but i've looked at Youtube and Instagram and people never seem to do that.
