Old School Fire Making including the Bow Drill & Fire Steel

Details

In this great class, we'll walk you through the best way to make a fire and view a variety of materials to see how they burn as tinder. We will start the bow drill portion of the workshop by reflecting the symbolism of the parts of the bow drill kit, and you will realize why this method of fire-by-friction was preferred (and superior even to matches) for lighting fires in cold and wet climates. It should only take 10 seconds to create a coal if your kit is well constructed.

Adults as well as families with children are invited. Expect a class that provides you with generous information, hands-on experiential learning, and heart-felt inspiration. Instructors include Wolf Camp founder Chris Chisholm (http://www.wolfcamp.org/about/kim-and-chris-chisholm/) and/or coordinator Kim McKillip Chisholm (http://www.wolfcollege.com/about/kim-and-chris-chisholm/) depending on the number of participants.
