While not everyone may be the outdoors-type, a common favourite camping-related activity is a campfire. It’s warm, it’s cosy, and there’s usually some sort of yummy snack involved in the process.
Last autumn we bought a mini portable fire pit for our backyard, and we liked it so much that we decided we wanted to build a proper fire pit this year so we could have fires more often. After doing some research, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it’s really not that hard to build your own professional-looking fire pit. It’s a pretty easy process to plan out, and although it does take a bit of muscle to complete, it is totally worth a bit of cardio.
