This class will focus on fire in a bushcraft and wilderness living context. We'll discuss and demonstrate methods such as Flint and Steel, Ferrocerium Rods, the Metal Match, and how to properly strike a wooden match. After that, we will discuss, demonstrate, and try friction fire with the Hand Drill and the Bow Drill, then discuss the pros and cons of each. After this class students will have a better understanding of fire as a whole and will have at least a basic understanding of several ways of making fire responsibly. Students are encouraged to bring knives and any fire starting tools they may have.
Fee: $53.00
