\"Note

Note to self: Don't melt microphone.<\/p><\/div>\n

There is something so primal about fire. Everyone I know considers just sitting and watching\/listening to a campfire burn is better than television, and can be done for hours, pleasurably, in silence.<\/p>\n

Of course, when I get excited, ideas like physics kind of go out the window, like the whole heat-rising thing…nothing got damaged, but in retrospect a lower position would have allowed the recorder to get closer. I am sure the makers of the Zoom H2<\/a> didn’t intend to have its plastic case survive high temperatures.<\/p>\n

I recorded the sound of my campfire while backpacking California’s Sierra National Forest<\/a> and the John Muir Wilderness<\/a> on a nice, still evening.\u00c2\u00a0This particular campfire had a log that made some, uh, gassy emissions<\/em>, and sounded very much like a milk foamer on an espresso machine. You’ll hear it about halfway through the clip.<\/p>\n
