In this hands-on class, learn how to build fires safely with modern tools and classic techniques. We'll be using modern approaches rather than primitive fire-building techniques. We will go over basics like using magnesium fire starters, bundling kindling as well as the safety precautions you'll want to take. We will sanitize and provide all materials needed.
