Fire by Friction Class
May 13, 2017 @ 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
Discover how to walk into the woods and make fire by rubbing sticks together using only materials found in nature! In this class we’ll explore basic fire principles, such as how to build and use fire in a variety of situations. Then you’ll learn and practice two fire-by-friction methods: the bow drill and hand drill.
This class is being conducted by Earth Village Education, a nonprofit organization based in northern Virginia. There is a sliding scale class fee from $60 – $120. For more information and to register for the class visit http://earthvillageeducation.org/event/friction-fire-5-17/.
