PRIMITIVE to MODERN FIRE WORKSHOP

HANDS-ON FIRE-MAKING WORKSHOP   —  August 15, 10 a.m.

FIRE!   Yes, it can be dangerous, and yet, it can save your life.  Uncontrolled, fire can be devastating.  Yet, once you learn how to make and control fire, it’s possibly one of your most important survival skills since you use fire to stay warm, to purify water, to cook food, to signal, to make tools, etc. etc.

Learn how to make fire by several primitive methods.  You will learn the 4 Principles by which fire is generated: friction, the sun, chemicals, and electricity.  You will practice several of these, and learn the best techniques for mastery.

You will use reflectors and magnifying glasses, batteries, flint and steel, the bow, the hand drill, the piston, magnesium and others.

You will learn by doing. You goal will be to create an ember, and “mother” it to a flame.  You will learn which woods are best, and how to process your woods.

A short walk will be included to see which plants are best for your fire-making kit.

This class applies to our Bushcraft Certificate.
