A friend says he keeps hearing explosions near his house in the woods. He's convinced people are cooking meth there and their labs are blowing up. He even thinks they're intentionally causing the explosions. My knowledge of this kind of thing is very limited. Do people cook meth the woods and is an explosion part of the process?

Houses explode occasionally because of accidents during the process. Better living through chemistry, right?

Recently here there was quite an explosion. Turns out some idiots were having a gender reveal party (idiots definitely for blowing stuff up in a dry forest - we haven't had nearly enough water this winter - among other reasons).

It wouldn't've surprised me for it to be a drug-related explosion, though those are definitely not common.

My guess is, your friend is hearing someone shooting guns or playing with fireworks.

My first thought was fireworks too. My house shook several times recently from some kind of explosion and I never thought it was caused by anything else.

Explosions during drug making are expensive losses to the maker. They are not part of the process, but a result of an error. The last thing drug makers want is to draw attention to their operation.
I agree with @ning assessment, guns, fireworks, or it's possible that someone is trying to blow tree stumps out of the ground.

Did your hear gun shots than explosion if so good chance of tannerite.
Tannerite easier to purchase than fireworks in NH,and used to loosen BIG stump.

That's what I'd expect. Tannerite or fireworks.
This Is the first I've heard of Tannerite. If it'll shake a house from down the street, that might have been what shook mine.
