PRIMITIVE TECHNOLOGY: FIRE WORKSHOP

PRIMITIVE TECHNOLOGY: FIRE WORKSHOP

Saturday, September 6, 10 a.m.

We will take a walk and you will see the woods that are used to make the most basic methods of fire-production: The bow and drill, and the hand drill.  You will also see the plow, and flint and steel.  You will learn by doing.  You will work to make an ember, and you will learn which woods are best, and how to process your woods. A short walk included to see which plants are best for your fire-making kit.   This is a timeless bushcraft skill.

We expect that each person will be able to collect and process most of your kit during this class. You will learn this fundamental bushcraft skill by doing!  An excellent overall survival skill, since fire is at the very heart of survival: signalling, purifying water, cooking, etc.

BONUS: We will share some of the modern “match-less” methods of fire making as well, and we will show you useful wild plants.  These are timeless survival skills.
