<p>Hi- Ive spent many nights in afghanistan with friends setting around disposable glow stick "fires"(chemlights). Everybody brought their own glow stick and threw them in the pile and usually someone would bring a guitar- good times and they "burn" for hours.</p>

<p>There's this similar item as well. We have been considering one because the base seemed more stable (plus is has little tree cutouts!), although there is something to be said for the metal lid that the Little Red sports.</p>

<p>Let's see. What did we do with no campfire. There was some guitar playing. Maizy and I decorated our camp site with glow sticks. The moon happened to be really bright both nights, so there was a lot of gazing at that. All in all, it wasn't so bad without a campfire. Plus we saved weight in the bus not having to pack firewood. Not having to haul the wood made it so we could 32 mph up the steep grades, an upgrade from the normal 3o mph. :) We replaced s'mores by just giving the kids graham…</p>

Not having to haul the wood made it so we could 32 mph up the steep grades, an upgrade from the normal 3o mph. :) We replaced s'mores by just giving the kids graham crackers, marshmallows, and little pieces of chocolate to munch on. The girls ran around with their flashlights. The point being, camping really is still fun if you can't have a fire . </p> For a cheap home made stealth…tag:vwcamperfamily.ning.com,2012-07-02:4450389:Comment:644652012-07-02T07:32:33.329ZSwiftriverhttp://vwcamperfamily.ning.com/profile/Swiftriver

<p>I have to agree. Southern California fires in the past has done the same thing in regards to no fires. It was not a state wide thing but it affected many camping areas. No suggestions on how to make it more fun. You might have to invent something. Sitting around the LED lantern.</p>
