Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I'm not sure to what extent this is common in your home country, but I was a scout kid and our "leader" actually told us to build fires like this - well, at least the first panel - with an utter lack of humor. Vilifying the habit of just throwing sticks together.
The log cabin fire is more stable than a teepee shape fire. It's easier to stack logs in this fashion.
Teepee or lean-to to start the fire, log cabin once it's established
I like building a teepee inside a log cabin
Lean-to is ideal in my mind because it naturally makes a little burble of still air for the teensy fire to grow in initially
Start the fire however you want, but with a big enough log on the side to support new logs so they don't smother the fire
