    If I'm not wrong that means to set up a tent after lighting a fire near to it.
    That's sort of things are very good for those who love campering

    But... you know William, I have no idea if such a kind of phrase has totally another meaning. Sorry

    That's what it means. It could have an idiomatic meaning of settling in, but I haven't heard it used that way.
