No flames here. I remember campfires from my days in the Boy Scouts, but we sure weren't at high elevations in the back country. Plenty of parks out West ban fires for good reason-way too dry and dangerous. In Yosemite, a definite no-no, even in winter. Stoves aren't as romantic, but are far more efficient. A company called Titanium Goat even makes a folding lightweight stove that would be great in winter-it is designed for their pyramid tents. Kind of pricey, but worth checking out

As for why people do that-stupidity and ignorance (in the true sense of the word)is my best guess.
