February: Fire-Starting Techniques

Saturday, February 25
2–4 pm @ Green Anchors, N. Portland

Humans began to utilize fire potentially over a million years ago. Friction fire is a common method of starting a fire by “rubbing two sticks together.” At our free skills series we will demonstrate how this works, give people the opportunity to try it out, and help those who have some experience troubleshoot their own kits. We will also cover how to work with fire in a safe way. As the climate warms, fire has becoming an increasing concern. We’ll cover what you need to know before, after, and while tending fire.
