How to process natural materials for optimal flammability
Transferring a spark to tinder to build a fire without a lighter

Knowledge of how to process natural materials in order to catch a spark to produce a lifesaving fire, or just a recreational one imparts a closer understanding of the world around you and thus a more intimate connection to the outdoors.
We strive to be as hands-off as possible so the people who learn with us gain an unforgettable experience. After taking this course, your confidence in your ability to make a fire without a lighter will be just one of the takeaways.
