About the Event
Yeah, it’s easy to make a fire with newspaper and a lighter, but wouldn’t it be more fun to start that blaze by employing methods and materials our ancestors used for thousands of years? (And many foraged greens are more palatable in a hot soup.)
During this class, you will learn the basics of fire-starting using a bow drill, flint-and-steel, and a ferro rod. Identifying ideal species of trees, barks and grasses will be covered along with how to process those natural materials.
Regardless of your skill level, you will leave with an improved understanding of how to successfully make a fire.
Please note…
Sharp tools will be used: knives and tree saws
Hot embers and fire will be created
