Primitive Fire and Water Procurement

This class will teach several different methods for making fire in the wilderness. We will cover the bow drill, hand drill, and some modern methods for fire starting. Each student will thoroughly understand how to make a fire in any environment they find themselves! The class will begin on a hunt for fire making materials and the instructors will teach each student what materials to look for and what tinder works best. After each student has gathered enough materials then the instructor will demonstrate… Show more each method and begin letting the student make their own. We believe its very important for the student to learn how to make fire 100% from scratch in case they are ever caught in a situation with no modern materials. After each student has successfully carved and performed the various methods, then we will move on to water procurement. Water is one of the most important things in a survival situation and the instructors will demonstrate several methods from making natural filters to primitive boiling techniques with no pots or pans. And we will also cover the use of modern tools for cleansing water. This will be a laid back course that will not overly exert students and will be relaxing escape to primitive wilderness education. The class is 2 days/1 night!
