Rap 451 Fire Safety PLEASE join our consensus: There are no leaders here. We each are responsible and accountable for creating a culture of fire safety. To protect ourselves and the forest, fire safety is vital. Community Fires Only! Reduce wildfire risk, reduce smoke and build community. Please, no personal fires. Be safe! Build fires away from tents, trees, and brush. Remove duff (flammable organic matter on the forest floor), and all debris down to the dirt for at least twenty feet around fires and smoking areas. Have shovels and water buckets nearby. Control the size of the fire and sparks. Never throw anything into a fire. Never leave a fire unattended. Extinguish by drown-stir-feel = cold to the touch. Reduce Impact: Only gather/burn dead, down, and dry fuel. Avoid digging large boogie pits as they scar the earth. Preferably build fireplaces/structures above ground, 200 ft away from bodies of water. If you must dig, line pits with rocks/clay to avoid igniting roots. Warning:...
Karin's Rainbow Gathering 2025 news and ideas for creating a peaceful and healing gathering of the tribes somewhere in or near the Ozark region in the Ouachita, Ozark-St. Francis or Mark Twain National Forests located in the states of Oklahoma, Arkansas, or Missouri. As with all things related to Rainbow Gatherings, this is not an official source of information and represents my thoughts and opinions only. Other people will have different ideas.
