Eau de Bonfire

Recommended Posts

It never gets old, does it. Working in wildland fire, pretty much every piece of my work related clothing/gear has the smell thoroughly soaked in. I get accustomed to it quickly, but when we haven't been on a fire in a while and I catch a wiff it's just great! :)
A few months back we did a prescribed fire on a unit almost completely covered in cedar that had been cut down. Now THAT was a good smellin' fire.

I can't say that an emergency fire counts :(

What will go into my Eau de Bonfire is fun time smelling cedar, etc. Even that shit wood they just throw in there for flames :D The stuff that makes you smell like bonfire the next morning :)

That's the great thing about doing a prescribed fire. If all is going well, you get to light it and sit back and watch. Only instead of a few feet or yards across, it's probably a thousand acres or so!

Now the downfall - you can't be throwing back a few beers while watching it. That we have to make up for after hours.

Yeah, there is nothing like standing around sucking down carcinogenic smoke from chemically treated wood/pallets burning in the bonfire:P

Yeah, I was thinking how nasty that wood is right after I wrote that, maybe the chemicals enhance the party experience:D
