Twig Tongs

Tongs are a handy thing to have around a campfire for lifting things that maybe hot, or removing things from cooking vessels, even lifting coals or embers from the fire. There's a number of ways to make these but this way is the simplest

 

cut a fork with equal thickness branches, thin the insides slightly near the joint and taper the ends into a flat at the tip

 

simple as that, these ones were made to lift my char cloth tin from the fire.
