I go on long hikes with friends, however sometimes I would like to sit down and admire the views and make myself some coffee or tea withound making a big campfire, I saw some bushcraft videos and everyone uses that IKEA kitchen stand to make small fires to cook something easy, put it out and move on.
I don't have much experience in making fires in the forest, the few times I did this I went with extreme caution but cops going after me are a pain in the ass. I know some people who do stealth camping that gave me tips in the past but I would like to know your general experiences and what is the best way to do it to not cause a forest fire and that the cops don't fuck me over it.
