Sweet Caroline… Bohm, Bohm, Bohmmmm…. Good times never seemed so good…

Wait, that’s Neil Diamond.  I am talking about KNEEL Diamond!

Wish I could remember the name of the fellow that taught me this trick.  I am almost certain he was on the BOSS staff.

Very simply, to increase the oxygen to your campfire, make a diamond shape with your index finger and thumbs, hold up to your lips, and blow.  This is usually done when kneeling, hence…  Kneel Diamond.

So easy even a child can do it!

So easy even a child can do it!

Your breath will be concentrated and you will have some directional control, so you can do this from a greater distance than just blowing normally.

So easy a child can do it! Distance slightly exaggerated!

Distance slightly exaggerated!
