A heat intensifier for directing radiant heat from a campfire toward a camper situated on the ground adjacent the campfire to enhance the warmth provided by the campfire to the camper includes a collapsible screen having a heat-reflective surface and a frame for attachment to the screen to deploy the screen in a concave-convex configuration in which the heat-reflective surface is located in a position relative to the camper and the campfire to reflect radiated heat from the campfire toward the camper, and anchoring devices for anchoring the attached screen and frame to the ground in that position.

A heat intensifier for directing radiant heat from a campfire toward a camper situated on the ground adjacent the campfire to enhance the warmth provided by the campfire to the camper, the heat intensifier comprising: a collapsible screen including a substrate of flexible, foldable material capable of being folded into a compact configuration, an obverse face, a reverse face and a heat-reflective surface on the obverse face; frame members for erection into an erected frame for juxtaposition with the reverse face of the screen; attachment means for attaching the erected frame to the screen adjacent the reverse face of the screen to assemble the frame in a bowed configuration with the screen and deploy the screen in an erect arrangement wherein the deployed screen follows a concave-convex configuration with the obverse face following a concave surface contour and the reverse face following a convex surface contour; and foundation means for anchoring the assembled erected frame and deployed screen in an anchored position on the ground relative to the campfire and the camper wherein the heat-reflective surface on the obverse face of the screen will reflect radiant heat from the campfire toward the camper; the screen including a peripheral base edge having a somewhat arcuate configuration for lying essentially contiguous with the ground when the assembled erected frame and deployed screen are in the anchored position; and the foundation means including anchoring means located at the peripheral base edge for anchoring the assembled erected frame and deployed screen to the ground at the peripheral base edge to assist in maintaining the concave-convex configuration of the deployed screen.
