Quick Answer
To keep your fire burning when it starts to drizzle, use a makeshift windscreen, such as a leaf or a piece of bark, to protect the flames from the rain. You can also use a fire pit or a rock ring to contain the fire and keep it dry. This will help your fire stay lit.
Protecting the Fire from the Rain
When it starts to drizzle, the first thing to do is to protect the fire from the rain. Use a makeshift windscreen, such as a leaf or a piece of bark, to cover the top of the fire. This will help to deflect the raindrops and keep the flames dry. If you have a fire pit or a rock ring, use it to contain the fire and keep it off the ground. This will help to insulate the fire and keep it warm.
Keeping the Fire Dry
To keep the fire burning, make sure to keep the tinder and kindling dry. If the firewood is wet, it will not burn well, so use dry wood instead. You can also use dry leaves or grass to help get the fire going again. If the fire starts to go out, add more dry wood to the fire and gently blow on it to help get it going again.
Fire Pit or Rock Ring Techniques
If you have a fire pit or a rock ring, use it to contain the fire and keep it off the ground. Dig a shallow pit in the ground and line it with rocks. This will help to insulate the fire and keep it warm. You can also use a fire pit or a rock ring to create a makeshift windscreen to protect the fire from the rain. Place a rock on top of the fire pit or rock ring to deflect the raindrops and keep the flames dry.
