Description

Do you struggle to start a fire or keep one going? Are you confident you can start a fire in an emergency - in a driving rain? In the snow? Fire keeps us warm, dries us out, and keeps us company. It can save your life. This class prescribes exactly what to carry and fine-tunes your technique for reliable results. We’ll leave behind more primitive (albeit fun) friction fire-starting methods and we’ll focus on the items we always carry in our packs. After all, do you have two hours to build a bow drill and start a fire in an emergency? Do you carry a 9-volt battery and steel wool? After taking this class, you will know exactly the items to carry in your pack to start a fire in any conditions. They are proven, redundant, and dependable time and time again. In addition, students will learn fire theory - why things burn, what to burn, and what not to burn. Sure, fire-making skills are survival techniques, but this isn’t a survival class. These are basic skills everyone should have to enjoy cooking on camping trips, campfires on backpacking trips, fires in your fireplace, and of course, yes, in a survival emergency. Minimum Age: 12 years old - the minor(s) and a parent/guardian must all be paid registered participants.
