Long before modern camping gear, legendary outdoorsman Horace Kephart relied on simple, efficient firecraft to stay warm in the wilderness. Perhaps one of his most overlooked techniques was the fire reflector, built from green wood and natural materials to focus heat back toward camp. In this video, I demonstrate Kephart’s forgotten fire reflector, built using proper forestry and conservation principles—just as it was done in the early 1900s. This simple setup reflects heat, improves fire efficiency, and helps you stay warm through cold nights without modern equipment. What’s remarkable is that this classic woodcraft technique still works today—whether you’re winter camping, practicing bushcraft, or studying historical outdoor skills.
