Oh, you can make a bonfire by collecting wood and assembling it in a tight pile, setting it on fire, and waiting until the fire burns out.

To make a fire that lasts for a few hours, you need about 10 pieces of wood that are 2 inches (5 centimeters) or more in diameter.  The wood should be stacked in a pyramid shape, with air on the bottom, and with kindling at the bottom of the pyramid.  For longer burning fires, it can be good to add more kindling.  I also recommend making sure that you have plenty of space for air to move around the base of your fire.  This is one good way to ensure that your fire doesn’t burn out too quickly.
