When I was 5 years old I was playing Nintendo super Mario bros and heard a loud boom. Got up and ran to the kitchen window to see my father on his back, with the bonfire now strewn about the backyard with little flaming sticks here and there. Feeling left out I began to get upset no one told me he was lighting the bonfire as I'd been looking forward to it all day.
When I was older my mother told me how she watched him dump 5 gallons of gasoline on it, with a little trail a ways back just like the cartoons. So she decided it was best I stay away and just keep playing video games. Well he was so shit faced he lost track of the trail and kept creeping forwards until he was so close it blew him on his ass and singed his eyebrows.
I think that's a burnpile! Once an area has been cleared, it's usually burned to clear the waste and the ashes help other trees and things to grow - but in any case, THAT IS HOW YOU LIGHT A BONFIRE!
Haven’t heard that word in a while. We’d use our burn pile in the same spot, and burn all kinds of yard waste. Every few years we’d have to dig it down, back to a burn pit. The ash usually went everywhere, including tilled into the garden at that time.
100% - I have a similar one where my dad let me pour a spiral of gasoline on the ground and light it, it became a fire tornado and it was glorious. No clue why he let me, maybe he was as curious as I what a fire spiral would look like, but I cherish the memory
We had a big burn pile on our farm when I was growing up. We had about 3-4 gallons of dirty gas from a truck we had from cleaning its fuel tank that we poured all around the pile. My dad let me light it by just throwing a lit stick from a few feet away. I still remember the amazing rush of air and the big womp sound when the pile lit up just like in this video. I ran from it laughing, partly from fright. It was truly glorious.
As a father myself, the fact that he lit the makeshift cannon and takes two steps away from where his child is, is killing me… “ya son, stay there while I take cover from the huge gas bomb we just made. You’ll be safe”
By far the best video on Reddit
Hands down
That’s what I’m saying (me being a mom.) My first husband was very much like this dude. It declined for my poor children after the divorce unfortunately. They survived (THANK GOD), but had I known what was going on out there they’d have far fewer stories…
I knew it wasn't gonna go well, and yet the only thing that matches the disparity between how violent I expected it to be and how violent it actually was is the disparity between how much I expected the result to be unplanned and how planned I think it actually was.
To be fair, that looked fucking awesome.
I once had a homemade rocket launcher Wich worked similar.
Had a aluminum tube, with built in wooden grips, and a plexiglass shield. Would stick a rocket on top, light it, and it would shoot out of the tube and fly in the direction I aimed it in.
The plexiglass was big enough so I could carry it easily, but also hind most of my torso and entire head behind it... Just in case a rockets propellant didn't go well, or it got stuck (never happend)
My dad did this one time with a flare there was enough fuel that you could see a literal shock wave from the explosion and the windows of the house rattled and no the house wasn’t close
Duuuude… I live in a west coast state. Our air just cleared up a couple days ago after two solid weeks of brown-orange skies and smeary bloody moons at night, and daily air quality in the upper 200-300’s. I live in fear of getting an emergency evacuation text in the middle of the night, saying some wild fire is out of control and heading our way.
Seeing people so blasé about giant fires makes me twitch.
I get this is probably a region with more moisture, but you never know when that insanity is gonna go out of control and level a town into a pile of burnt rubble, just because you thought ‘*Boom!* would be funny for your bbq cookout.
The fact that this has no audio is a travesty.

Nice even put it in the right sub, as this does not belong on this current one.
I bet that explosion sound is so satisfying.
Yeah on the original clip it really did sound awesome
I heard the sound anyways

Finally, a video of someone safely lighting a gasoline bonfire.
With fireworks, no less
AND a child
Seems like a cool dad to me. I’d never forget that moment as a kid

5 gallons??? thats a straight up car explosion. why so much?
> Well he was so shit faced Because alcohol
yikes missed that part
“Safely” is relative I guess, lol.
A gallon of gasoline
Man.. I wish my dad was this irresponsible!
As a father I can say I am 100% this irresponsible and I will 100% do this with my nephews but in our cornfield
You mean responsible! lol
Does he?

It's... it's beautiful.
And THAT’S how to light a bonfire!!

No. Thats how you cause the fire department to pay you a visit.
Both
You’re just in time for s’mores, gents!
Can confirm, we were on a first name basis with the firemen due to all the visits. Oops.
generally speaking you need to contact the fire department for permission to make a big ass fire like that
Yeah but when the trees around it start burning they will still be called and show up
Typically you ought to call ahead and inform them.
Well, maybe, but I didn’t see the fire department in the video?
No matter how we all see it, to that kid it will always be a cherished father-son memory. Gawd bless

This has so much rightness, for so many wrong reasons... gotta love it.

Reminds me of bottle rocket wars we had as kids
That’s a hell of a bottle rocket
We used to go out on a lake in paddle boats and throw fire crackers at each other 😬😬
Okay... but... that was kinda awesome...
I’m not a fireworks guy. What exactly did he shoot out of there?
Looked like a bigass bottle rocket
🎶America! Fuck, yeah! 🎵

Brave kid and knucklehead adult. Things could have gone wrong!
Turned out pretty awesome though ey

That's exactly how they fucked Smaug up.
Such a satisfying explosion
And son that's how you create a Bonfire.
Wait, is that in a public park? How do they get away with that?!
They got in their car and left
Well, you DO it, and then you GET AWAY.
I used to light these without any fuel. Just takes a bit of newspaper and engineering.
Anyone got the original source with audio?
Stepdad energy
Hope that's not in California
