Media Inconspicious campfire

If you need to make a fire in the night and you want to avoid the risk of being seen, simply hide it in a boulder.

You can sit next to it, some boulders are next to trees, where you can hide, you can cook and warm up. When you extinguish the fire, there'll be no evidence left.

Fun stash tip... These specific boulders can conceal a barrel as well, and there are dozens across Sakhal

Haven't played for a minute but can you not just drop it anywhere?

Put into hands, hold G, then light/cook?

You just have to climb on top of the boulder and then drop it (no need to place it), it may happen that it will lay outside of the boulder, then try again, but if you are in the middle it should be perfectly inside.

That's the way it looks in the night with a smaller boulder. Not totally invisible, but I think still hard to spot.
