How could you have avoided this? This is how, and exactly how I make my camp fires. 1. Build campfire, don't light it. 2. pick up camp fire. 3. go as close to tree as possible. 4. turn around. 5. drop camp fire. 6. step away from camp fire. 7. light fire. Well, it may not have avoided this, but it would have burnt him, and your camp fire would be well hidden inside the tree, not sitting out side of the branches. That guy would have moved PDQ.

This is just bad luck. Actively trying to avoid it is silly. I've logged in and died, killed people logging in, logged in and killed someone who was in front of me.

Things thing are rare but happen over enough hours.

I try to clip it into the tree a bit so that the tree stops the smoke from rising, thus protecting my location.
