Food from the Fire
Firewood, campfire cooking and the shared hearth
Can I cook a thank-you feast for my neighbours?
Follow a meal from the invitation to the final thanks: choosing fuel, preparing firewood, managing cooking heat and recipes to share around the hearth.
Gather and prepare firewood, build a cooking fire and cook a meal over it, then share it around the hearth.

Safety first. Outdoor activities carry real risks. Each activity guide has safety notes, but you are responsible for yourself and anyone in your care. Supervise children, get permission, never eat anything you cannot identify with certainty, and only light fires where it is allowed and safe.
