Fire: Humans Most Important Tool
Fire: Humans Most Important Tool
Of all the places I have practiced fire-making skills, the Pacific Northwest in winter is one of the most challenging environments to get a fire going, even if you have a lighter. We will talk about building, lighting, and maintaining a fire during this class and then explore the ancient friction fire-making device known as the bow drill. During this class, I will show you how to unlock the secret to building a fire in any weather conditions. He will also get to carve your very own bow drill kit. The bow drill has been around for approximately 120,000 years old! I will teach you the proper technique and form both in making and using this amazing tool!

Please continue taking any medications that regulate your mood and family functions.
Before overnight programs, we encourage people to arrive the evening before the class start date. This way, we can start up first thing in the morning to maximize class time!
Refund/Cancellation Policy
We always prefer transferring to another class of equal value or on a different date instead of a refund. This is free of charge. Remember, there's a reason you signed up for the class in the first place! However, if you still want a refund, my policy is as follows.
Cancel a month before the scheduled class, and you will receive a 90% refund. 10% will be kept for administrative costs.
Cancel less than 30 days before the class; I will issue a 75% refund. At that point, I will have potentially reserved a site or purchase materials for your participation.
Cancel two weeks before class, and you will get a 50% refund.
Cancel a week or less before class, and you will receive a 25% refund
I will make certain exceptions on a case-by-case basis.
