Everyone loves a campfire.  We are who we are as modern man because we discovered fire.  Join Tes in this workshop where you will learn to make a one-match fire using only material from the earth.  Experience and try your hand at primitive friction fire methods, including bow drill and fire steel.  Sprinkled in throughout the day will be reading the land; recognizing animal signs, interpreting bird language and getting to know the trees and plants that surround us.  Together we will build a community fire, cook up something from the wild, and enjoy our lunch around its light and warmth.
