FIRECRAFT ESSENTIALS

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16TH, 2023

LIGHT IT UP >>>

Fire is at the core of what makes us human. It’s up there with language and agriculture as one of the tools that built our civilizations. Fire can save your life, cook your food, get you warm and dry. It’s a familiar friend on lonely nights in the woods, and brings stories out of people like nothing else. A good fire can turn a bad camping trip into a great memory.  It’s the origin of every other technology, and woven into our very existence. And even in our modern era, it might just be the most important of all wilderness skills. If you’re going to get out there, you need to know it. But there’s a lot more to building a great fire than you might expect.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this 1-day class:

  • The science behind fire – how it works and why
  • Different types of fires and when to use them
  • A wide variety of ignition methods and their pros and cons
  • The best wood to burn, and how to identify those trees
  • How to build the best cooking fire ever
  • Foraging firebuilding materials in the real world
  • Starting fires in worst-case scenarios – rain, snow, and more
  • Putting together your own fire kit
  • How to make char cloth
  • And last but not least, you’ll get to use a bow drill and try your hand at friction fire.

And here’s what else you’ll get:

  • A hot, home-cooked lunch to keep you going throughout the day
  • 10% off all firecraft products from Wazoo, Exotac, Blackbeard Fire, Midwest Woodcraft, and more
  • Unlimited instructor support after class

There’s no other ancestral skill with so much relevance in the modern world as firecraft. Even in a world with space travel and artificial intelligence, fire still has a place at the table. Come join us, and we’ll help you learn to master it.
