The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne

Kindled Photoshop CS4 & Painter 8 / Painter 12. Prints available at my store! Painter 8 broke on me halfway through finishing this. Thank goodness I always save dobules because it ate the file. x___x I think I’ll go paint something really…simple…now… And yes, the title is 100% a Dark Souls 3 reference. __

This is a beautiful graphic but it doesn’t explain the pros and cons of each fire type.

The Swedish torch is good for an efficient and contained fire, it’s controlled and good for cooking over and produces less light and heat than other fires. It can be difficult to keep going once you burn through the original log

The teepee is your traditional campfire. Good for heat and light not great for cooking, burns through fuel fairly quickly

The star fire is one of the slowest burning and not well protected but provides an even heat good for slow cooking and is excellent if you have limited fuel and need the protection a fire can provide

The lean to is a compact and efficient fire that evolves into a dense and hot bed of coals. The structure creates a good source of air flow which can help damp wood burn. A slightly better cooking fire that isn’t as bright. It also provides protection from wind on one side

The platform fire is incredibly hot and will create a very thick bed of coals but it doesn’t have a lot of air flow and is a little harder to get started.

The log cabin is big and bright and has lots of air flow which again is good for damp logs. You can also use this structure to start a smaller fire in the middle while drying out bigger logs. This fire will crumble into a messier bed of coals that don’t produce particularly even heat for cooking.

The modified leanto is excellent if you need it to perform multiple functions. The side with more fuel will burn bright and hot and the side with less fuel will burn less hot but more evenly and controlled, this gives you different cooking options.

Fire safety 〜(꒪꒳꒪)〜

Wish I had this like 2 years ago when I went on a camping trip with my church and half of the evening session was praying for fire

Fire wants to burn, Water wants to flow, Air wants to rise, Earth wants to bind… (x)

I will rule by fdasuarez

Now that we know that fire actually is a quite safe method of transportation, I think we should stop crying about Mary Winchester and start wondering where the hell she went

this deserves more notes
