Let’s use a fire pit sheet
Campfires are the essence of camping, aren’t they? Cooking, gathering around the fire to talk with friends, family, or loved ones, or sometimes thinking quietly while watching the flickering flames alone—there are many ways to enjoy it.

The mindset of campers who love nature
ZEN Camps recommends, or rather requests, using a fire pit sheet when making a campfire.

There are two reasons.
① Sparks from the fire pit fall on the ground, killing plants and bacteria in the soil due to heat. ② The heat from the fire pit heats the ground, which may also kill plants and bacteria in the soil due to heat.

Campers who love nature will understand, but it is not acceptable to destroy nature and leave after camping, and it should not be the true intention of those who camp.
There are sites where open fire is allowed, and if there is a dedicated fire spot made specifically for campfires in a designated place, I do not deny open fire, but basically, I personally do not like scorched ground.
There may be mixed opinions, but I hope you will take this as my personal view.
Compact design that doesn’t get in the way.
The fire pit sheet is made of soft fabric, so it doesn’t take up much space when folded for carrying. It can be placed under BBQ grills or wrapped around the chimney of a wood stove, making it very versatile and convenient.
Variations include silicone-coated black and standard gold color types.
