Do you leave camp fires lit?

[zorisx 7]

I always tend to leave things for survivors behind and camp fires are one of the many things I leave behind.

I put mine out in-case a nearby bandit sees it.

Yeah my friends tell me not to but you never know who will need it

if i'm just cooking some meat and will be vacating the area shortly thereafter i'll leave the fire lit. otherwise i cover my tracks and put it out.

i usually cover my tracks but might start leaving it lit

During the day, I might leave one burning here or there. Especially if I'm not too worried about my position. But at night, they're on, meat is cooked/I'm warmed, and then they're off. Can't risk even a hint of a tracking.

Either way, though, they go out over time, so I'm never too worried that someone would be able to track me for miles.

I always put them out. I'm all for helping others out but I'm pretty wary about attracting attention.

That's fair enough, was actually good to see so many views on this thanks guys

Seeing that they don't last very long at all, the chances that a survivor would "stumble" upon it is minimal :/ Better to put them out so that sniper doesn't get wind.

Only you can prevent Forest Fires.

I never have, no. I assume leaving it lit will give a means to track me, but maybe it doesn't matter.

Was exploring the north east portion of the map all the way by that little bay of water and I was on the west side and saw a boat on the shore across the bay ran all the way over to check out the boat and all I found was a campfire still burning and the boat was gone haha

How long do they last?
