What's it about?
 

There is a magic to the campfire which we have all experienced, at the end of the day the conversation ebbs and almost without exception everyone gazes onto to the fire, the flames almost hypnotic.  

Imagine adding to that sense of campfire magic the ability to conjure fire from the forest around you. Using simple tools this course will take you from raw material to blazing fire using the bow drill method. It starts with finding suitable wood of the right species and condition and finding and preparing appropriate tinder.

Aside from the satisfaction of getting a flame, you may also leave the course secure in the knowledge that you are probably the first in your family to achieve it for several thousands of years!
