whats that trap rock i never heard of it?
A fire pit with benches or chairs is very enjoyable if you have a long term campsite. Even without beer. A campfire is better to watch than reality TV to me. Thank you for the video. Good advice.
well, leave it as you would like to meat it

There’s no need to clean up the natural parts of the pit area. The ashes is a good natural ferilizer, the stones and firewood can be used by other campers. If not, they will be populated by smaller animals like insects after a while again. It’s much more important no to pollute the pit area with the stuff _you_had with you: packing material, tins, bottles and so on…
yea
