We blow on a hearth to make it burn because of the fact after we try this we function extra oxygen for the hearth to proceed burning. under the pile of sticks the hearth won't get carry of sufficient O2 and so we blow on it or fan air on it. interior the case of a journey stick, there is already sufficient oxygen to maintain the hearth burning and all it somewhat is mandatory is stuff to burn. And so after we blow, we overpower the flame and for this reason positioned it out. This additionally enables you to positioned out a camp hearth via blowing on it. in basic terms systematic and precise blowing of air will save the camp hearth alight and not positioned it out.
