Use small sticks first and gradually move to the bigger ones to build a tipi as the base of your campfire. put a circle of stones on the outside of the tipi to prevent the fire from spreading. when building your fire make sure your build it in a safe place so that nothing els will catch fire. if you have it at hand then you could trow in some paper which is a great fire starter.
