Description

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.

What to Expect on a WU Trip

Is a Wilderness Union Trip Right for You?
We offer a unique alternative to commercial tours. We don't just show you incredible natural wonders, we teach you to become confident in nature so you can discover the life changing magic of the outdoors.

You’ll love it here if:
- You want to make real friends, not just small talk with strangers
- You prefer "off the beaten path" over "all-inclusive resort"
- You're happy to pitch in and learn new skills (e.g., helping with camp setup or group tasks)
- You value the journey and the company as much as the destination

Our Guides
All of our guides are highly qualified, passionate outdoor lovers, just like you. They love to share their knowledge and will help you see our destinations in another light, often teaching you something along the trail.
