The fire is the main comfort of the camp, whether in summer or winter,
and is about as ample at one season as at another. It is as well for
cheerfulness as for warmth and dryness.
~Henry David Thoreau
We now no longer camp as for a
night, but have settled down on earth and forgotten heaven.
- Henry David Thoreau
Even in a time of elephantine vanity and greed, one never has to look far to see
the campfires of gentle people.
~Garrison Keillor
Somebody told me it was frightening how much topsoil we are losing each
year, but I told that story around the campfire and nobody got scared.
- Jack Handey
What is it about the primordial "campfire"
that attracts us like it does? We see a campfire, and can barely keep ourselves
from approaching it. The coldest and loneliest of hours is warmed by a simple
fire to sit around in the evening.
A firepit in the garden extends the time of
enjoyment of the garden into the evening. Firepits add that wonderful warmth and
glow of a fire in the evening, providing physical warmth and light. They can be
built in many shapes and forms to suit many different requirements.
