Learn to make fire the way your ancestors did: by rubbing sticks together! In this class we will go beyond matches and lighters and practice a friction fire method called bowdrill. This method was and still is used around the world as a primitive fire making technique. Callan, the instructor, has been practicing bowdrill since she was 6 years old and has taught many people to make fire by friction since. All equipment included. This class is only being offered on September 6th, but further dates may open up in the future.
