How do you start a campfire during winter? We have had temperature is around 0 for a couple of days, so I guess this is the reason why it took me about 40 minutes to finally get a stable fire, cause sticks were wet or maybe I am just retarded. Anyway, first, I tried paper and some dry weed and leaves but it eventually went out. And only when I use some plastic dishes I found near. I managed to set a stable fire. I don't what would I do, if there weren't plastic scrap near. Also, give me some advice how to dry socks and shoes correctly.
