Join Tim “Primitim” Swanson in a fire making workshop. Fire was the skill that made civilization possible, and it still holds a mystical power of attention for anyone in the wilderness. In this program, we will learn to make one-match fires that work every time, as well as try our hands with flint and steel, fire by friction using bow and drill as well as hand drill methods. We’ll talk about tinder, safety, gathering firewood, cooking fires and much more in this intensive study of our ancestral heritage.
Two hours long in an outdoor natural setting for activities that include building a fire in any weather conditions.
