Winter Season Fire-Making Skills with Northwest Natura
If there is one bushcraft skill to have, it is how to make a fire! The skills we will cover in this immersive outdoor workshop include: - Survival Priorities - What to look for when you’re out foraging for firewood - Discover tinder materials, fatwood, and finding dry materials - Practicing intentional and energy-efficient methods for successfully making a fire outdoors without a lighter - How to process natural materials for optimal flammability - Knife and ax skills - Feathersticks - Fire-making basics - Using a ferrocerium rod - Making charcloth for flint & steel - Plant ID will be sprinkled into the lesson - Knowledge of how to process natural materials in order to catch a spark to produce a lifesaving fire, or just a recreational one imparts a closer understanding of the world around us and thus a more intimate connection to the outdoors.
After taking this course, your confidence in your ability to make a fire will be just one of the takeaways.
