I will make it more difficult. In Oregon coast range, mid January. Rain and wind. Nothing but matches to use.Teepee or Log Cabin: Which is the correct way to build a campfire?

Yup. Nothing like a 7-1/2 minute fusee when you need to start a fire.When I was in an explorer post in middle school for SAR I would carry small road flares and a small bottle of gasoline in my camp pack. Started fire everytime.
More important to keep it under control and make sure you have something to put it out near by.
Thats sounds like my Father in law. A cherokee indian, he believes in copious quantities of gas for fire building.Got an interesting lesson on fire building while up in Canada a few summers ago. We were at a wedding reception at a remote location and someone decided a fire would be a good idea. There was plenty of wood and kindling around but it had rained the night before so most of it was still damp. After a few failed attempts, someone asked the native Indian if he would start the fire. Really nice guy. He gave instructions on how to set up the tinder, kindling, and wood. He says, looks good, be right back. He walked over to his pickup, comes back with a can of gas, pours some on the wood, and then starts the danged fire. He just laughed and said "you white guys make things wayyy too complicated!"
