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.
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.
