Friction Fire (Virtual)

This program is currently unavailable. Click here to view all of our current programs.


This course will cover how to make fire by “rubbing sticks together.” Specifically, we will be going through step-by-step instructions of how to make and use your own bow drill set. Out of all the primitive fire techniques, bow drill is perhaps the most efficient way to make fire from our Maine landscape. Learning the skill will help you build your survival skills, build a new relationship to trees, and at the very least, prove a fun way to entertain family and friends during outings. You may follow along at home or just watch if you prefer.
