Bag for camper to drop off, say, in front of fire (8)
I believe the answer is:
knapsack
'bag for camper' is the definition.
'knapsack' can be an answer for 'bag' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'for camper' bit.
'drop off say in front of fire' is the wordplay.
'drop off' becomes 'nap' (drop off can mean to sleep).
'say' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'in front of' says to put letters next to each other (some letters go in front of others).
'fire' becomes 'sack' (dismiss someone from their job).
'nap' is a homophone of 'knap'.
'knap'+'sack'='KNAPSACK'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for knapsack that I've seen before include "Bag carried on back or shoulder" , "Pack sank (anag.)" , "Hiker's bag" , "(Hiker's) backpack" , "Bag with straps" .)
