Which of the following should you keep in mind when building a fire?

  1. A large fire will provide maximum warmth

  2. A small fire will keep you warm without using too much wood

  3. Build a fire near your tent for convenience

  4. Only build a fire if you have matches

The correct answer is: A large fire will provide maximum warmth

Building a large fire may seem like a good idea to get maximum warmth, but it can be dangerous and difficult to control. A smaller fire is easier to maintain and will still provide enough warmth without using too much wood. Building a fire near your tent may seem convenient, but it can also pose a fire hazard. It is important to build a safe distance from your tent. Additionally, relying on matches alone to build a fire is not a good idea as there are other alternative methods such as using a lighter or starting it with natural materials. Therefore, A is the best option to keep in mind when building a fire.
