Become a friction fire pro with the skills gained in our Advanced Friction Fire class. We have been offering this class since 1999.

The two day long Advanced Friction Fire course has been designed to further enhance a student's friction fire making techniques and understanding of advanced variations of construction and technique. Fire making methods include the Bow Drill, the Hand Drill, and other friction fire making methods such as the Pump Drill, the Fire Saw, the Fire Plow, and the Arctic Mouth Drill. Advanced subjects will include plant and tree identification and use; the use of wet and difficult materials; Bow Drill cordage construction; the use of stone age tools more. Students will also have the opportunity to make and use a Pump Drill, Fire Saw, Fire Plow and an Arctic Mouth Drill. This course is also designed to show many of the primitive uses of fire and explain the importance of fire in many different cultures and time periods. Fire lore, legends and stories from all over the world will also be an important part of this course. We recommend that students have completed our one day Fire Making course and be proficient in the skills presented there, or have comparable skills, to be eligible for this advanced class.
