thise presto logs stink of burning wax if any smoke escapes...i always have a pile of kindling to toss on to get it going again...almost always there is someone gettin up in the night to pee so it gets stoked up again....also keep some high quality wood aside for overnight

Personally we like to take along a young guy that wants to learn the ropes from seasoned hunters and we make them get up and start the fire in the morning and get the coffee going while we lay in the sack and critique their abilities at the required tasks. Then we can listen to them complain all day about what a bunch of nasty, slothful people the older hunters.

We have a wood stove in a cargo trailer. I've finally dialed it in to where it's warm for hours, and can easily restart a fire at 3 or 4 am. The key for us, is pressed sawdust logs that you can buy at lumberworld or slegg lumber (not sure where you can but them on the mainland). They get them in pallets, and you buy however many you want at about under $2 each. They are solid, heavy, and pure sawdust. What we do is have a fire going in the wood stove with some nice coals before we go to bed. Once we go to bed, we throw in one log and choke the stove. At about 3 or 4 in the morning when I wake up, all the wood will be gone, but the log will still be half there, glowing away. We then put in a few pieces of paper and more wood and go back to bed. The wood will slowly catch on fire within a few minutes. All we need is one log per night. Everyone that's tried them (two other hunting groups) swear by them as well. Just ensure you keep them dry. We keep them in a rubber bin. If you get them wet, you will have a pile of sawdust in the morning!
