Charcloth can be made in fire pit, as well. Wait until you have a good coal bed, bury the container (I used an Altoids tin) and leave it for about 20 minutes or so (time will need to be adjusted to account for the variables) it may be a bit more of trial/error than over a stove, but still easy peasy...

thought I would +1 this....bring some real skills onto the front page.

It's always good to have the old timers share the forgotten ways. They are always so full of useful wisdom. Thanks for sharing.
