How to Heat up a plastic bottle of water in a camp fire.

This article will explain to you how to heat up a standard plastic bottle of water in a campfire without removing the water from the container & without melting the bottle.



1. Take your bottle of water, remove the cap & place it on a flat, level surface.





2. Slowly, add additional water to the bottle until it overflows. Carefully replace the cap without squeezing the container or allowing ANY air to enter the bottle.




3. Place the bottle in the campfire for a couple minutes (smaller containers take less time than larger containers). Make sure to set the bottle close to the edge of the fire so that it can be easily reached when you want to remove it.

~ Any bottle will melt if you leave it too long. Better to take the bottle out too early than too late...you can always put it back in if it is not hot enough, but if the bottle gets too hot & melts, you'll have to start all over with a new bottle.


4. Remove the bottle from the fire & CAREFULLY remove the cap from the container. Your hot water is ready to use!
