Survivalist Series: Introduction to Fire Craft

Please note we simply list our events on Meetup - the only way to register for an adventures is on our website.

Discover the ancient art of safely creating and maintaining fire without lighters or matches!

For thousands of years, fire has been our greatest ally for warmth, safety, cooking, and survival. But in the wild, fire doesn’t come easy. It takes knowledge, patience, and the right technique.
In the first workshop of our Survivalist Series, you’ll begin to master the craft of fire-making with hands-on guidance from our expert firecraft instructor - guide Kyle.

You'll be shown and encouraged to practice:
1. Ferrocerium rod techniques with multiple tinders
2. Traditional flint & steel fire lighting
3. The art of hand-drill friction fire

This course will give you the foundation to create fire anywhere, anytime.
Included: Your own high-quality ferro rod to take home and keep the fire burning wherever you go.

Who It’s For: This course is for beginners and intermediate survivalists alike. Bring your curiosity, a willingness to learn, and a love of getting outside. This is an amazing opportunity not only to learn from our expert, but it's a fun, practical lesson at a uniquely low price.

About Wilderness Union

Wilderness Union is deliberate about building an outdoors community of people like you who will become your new friend group. Members range from 20-40 years old and are a mix of people who've grown up here but their friends are in a different place, newcomers to Canada, and folks from out West who want that lifestyle in Toronto

Attendance numbers on Meetup don't reflect our actual event attendance - we typically have 15-20 community members at each event. Large enough that there's someone new to meet but small enough that it's not overwhelming!
