The feeling of building a fire, plus the feeling of being near a fire is amazing.
Also, it gives off warmth and makes your camp feel like home.
I usually dig a 2-3 foot deep pit so people cant see me from a distance (trails/campsites are for pussies), then I pile the dirt from the pit around it in a ring. On that dirt ring I can place a flat rock, or spits for cooking my food.
When im done I collapse the dirt inwards and the fire is completely buried, I place rocks on top and nobody can tell I camped there.
If im staying in one place for more than one night I make it like pic related with more airflow so I get luxury.
As for trail food, jerky and chocolate bars along with sausage and sandwiches.
I bring 2/3 of the food I need for 3000 calorie days, then I hunt the rest.; ie
If im out for 3 weeks I bring 2 weeks of 3000 calorie per day food and rely on hunting/ fishing for the rest. Ive never gone on a trip without gettting a kill or two so ive never gone hungry, but if im unlucky I can ration it out and ill just feel slightly worse and lose a pound or two. Its worth the weight I save.
