Building fire naturally is a basic skill for outdoor enthusiasts. Once you've mastered the art of starting a fire with a fire bow or fire steel, it's hard to stop. The effect that those first flames create means more than just warmth, light and the possibility of cooking something. You're also creating a kind of space, an environment or a small home. It's a good and ancient feeling that we all know. Natural fire making, no matter which version you use, requires only a few basic materials, including tinder, kindling, and that fuel or spark. Tinder is a dry, fibrous material that is highly flammable and will catch fire quickly when struck by a spark. Kindling is small pieces of wood that can be used to light the tinder and create an initial flame. Fuel is larger pieces of wood that will keep the fire burning for a longer period of time. To create a fire naturally, you must first gather the necessary materials and clear a space for the fire. The tinder and kindling should be set up in a tepee or lean-to shape and ignited with a spark from a fire starter, such as a fire steel or bow drill. Once the fire is burning, it should be slowly fed fuel until it is burning on its own. Natural fire building is a valuable skill for any outdoor situation, as it allows you to stay warm, cook food, and provide light. Information about the course: The course takes place on Saturday afternoon from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. All you need is sensible outdoor clothing, good shoes and maybe something to drink.
