Fire is one of the greatest tools that humans can possess. Whether it's used to treat your water and cook your food, or warm your shelter and provide light to work by, the possibilities and uses of fire are endless. If you've ever spent a night camping without a fire, you'll surely feel the lack of its presence. In this program, we'll cover topics ranging from scouting a proper location, proper material collection, structure building, and fire safety. Participants will even have the opportunity to work with the bow drill fire-making method, as well as a few other primitive methods, including ferro rods, commonly referred to as flint and steel. If time permits we will make charcloth, your number one tinder material when working with ferro rods. • Ages: 8 - adult Note: Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult (not dropped off). • Class size: minimum 6, maximum 12 • Fee: $30 per person • Outdoor class, if it rains the class will be rescheduled • Plan to arrive at 10:45 for check-in; class starts promptly at 11:00am
