Creating fire with a ferro rod
Step away from the modern world and return to the ways of your ancestors. In this Introduction to Bushcraft, you will learn timeless survival skills passed down through generations, rooted in respect for the land and the old ways.
“Making fire is a form of prayer. With your hands together you bow over and over hoping that fire will come and visit you. With the smoke rising, you send prayers and thanks to the sky. This is how the oldest Gods were worshipped. Gods of bone, and wood, and rock, and blood.” ~Luke McLaughlin (Holistic Survival School)
For countless generations, fire was the heart of every camp and the heartbeat of survival. Long before matches or lighters, our people coaxed flame from wood, stone, and steel. Using techniques like bow drill friction fire and sparks from rare earth metals such as cerium, fire brought warmth, protection, and the ability to shape the world around us.
This hands-on, 2-hour bushcraft course is designed for beginners and outdoor enthusiasts who want to reconnect with the skills that kept our ancestors alive.
