r/camping on Reddit: Firepit on the cheap suggestions?
December 20, 2023 -
Just found out that at a BLM destination I have plans to go camping at requires fires to be "contained or elevated." I would rather try to use a portable fire pit or something else. But I need something I can get at a store like walmart, rei, bass pro shops... so I don't have to wait for shipping during this holiday season.
I also am a little short on cash after buying a new tent.
Any suggestions on a cheap, easy way to elevate my fire?
