I guess I just don't see the harm in destroying 9 square feet of organic material. OK, so there will be a 3'x3' area of the woods that will only be covered by twigs, branches, and leaves, with no chance of a tree growing there. Sounds like a great place for a fire if you ask me!

I realize this violates LNT, but so does the trail that I walked on to get to the campsite. LNT, when taken to extreme, is absurd.

I totally agree with you guys about foil, glass, and burning rocks, and despise all of that when I see it. The forest is there to enjoy, not to mess up for the next generation. I just don't see that a proper, well-contained campfire does that.
