Most of us are pretty confident that we can make a fire with matches or a lighter, but what are some other ways to make fire? - explore lesser used tools like ferro rod, flint and steel, parobolic lenses and more. Work with natural coal extenders, char cloth and compression pistons. Learn how to utilize things in your pack or trash if conditions are making it hard to get your fire going.
In this course we go over the principles of fire,
techniques for fire building and how to handle wet conditions,
fire structures and lays- understanding when to build what type and why
Want a fire to cook on? A fire lay to keep you warmest while sleeping next to it? One that self-feeds, one that is smokeless? or one that is covert on the landscape? There are methods for each.
We will end the day with an introduction to friction fire off the landscape where participants will make and learn to use a bow drill kit.
This is an overview survey course. We offer a more in-depth, single-day friction fire course for those looking to take a deeper dive into friction fire techniques specific to our local landscape.
This course is offered at our Wimberley, Texas campus which has bathrooms and access to water to refill water bottles.
All courses are taught outdoors in our covered classroom; participants should come prepared for the weather conditions.
Participants should bring their own lunch, water bottle and camp chair.
Camping is available for this course on our campus with prior approval.
