For those of you who camp/hunt solo, do you typically build yourself a fire at night? I never have while solo and wondering why I haven't. I guess I was just being lazy and didn't feel like it was necessary. Have a 7 day solo hunt and maybe I'll try it.

Not usually. I'd rather lay down and rest. And especially the last ten years there's been much higher fire risk and ban in place
I used to hunt solo and usually did not start a fire unless there was snow. Then it helped keep spirits up and was good for fresh coffee.
If conditions permit I love a fire. It is good company. It's something to keep me occupied on some of the long nights in the later seasons. No matter what the day brought, if I am sleeping by 7 I will be up at 1 so I need to have a reason to stay up and tending a fire and enjoying that real heat is perfect. And then the first night back at the truck, a fire with real coffee and fresh roast beast is one of the finest pleasures in life.

Having a small fire is one of my greatest joys while solo hunting and camping. I have slept in a hammock with a tarp over my head for more than 15 years, and after a long day of hiking I like to warm up a cup of coffee, have a nice dinner, and thank the LORD.

You know now that you mention it I never have. And sitting here reading the above comments and thinking about it I wonder why I didn't. I've spent a lot of time hunting alone. Most of it was during archery season, so usually not extremely cold.

By the time I get back to camp at night. It's time for food and bed. Maybe I'm getting old??

A lot of times yes. Nice to think back on my day and enjoy it staring into a fire.
