About the event
Fire is one of the most important elements for survival in nature. Tame fire and learn to light it in different ways.
In the fire-making course, we examine the process of building a fire in detail, from embers to tinder to a campfire.
Our goal is to create a fire without any ignition aid.
This includes:
- The safe construction of the fire and its benefits
- Various lighter-making techniques
- Finding tinder materials
More information:
Bring your own food and water bottle
Bring tick and mosquito repellent, writing materials, and sunscreen.
The event will take place regardless of the weather. In the event of exceptionally severe weather, we will inform you by email the day before.
Clothing: Wear weather-appropriate clothing, sturdy footwear, and a rain jacket/trousers (in case of rain). For your safety, wear only long trousers and sleeves to reduce the risk of injuries from undergrowth or tick bites.
