Fire Walk with Me, bushcraft enthusiast, ecologist, and your host, Jazmen with NWN.
For many of us who live in the PNW, not only is the borrowed name of this course very familiar, so are the verdant rainforests of the Salish Sea that surround us. If you go camping, hunting, or exploring in the woods, could you build a fire with limited tools in the PNW if you needed to? Fire Walk with Me is a basic survival course, a walk in the forest, and an opportunity to learn the principles of firemaking through collecting materials and building one on your own (without a lighter) in the wild Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest.
We strive to be as hands-off as possible, so you walk away with a new skill that you can practice successfully on your own time and time again.
In this course, learn the basic principles of fire-starting, land use laws, and how to procure burnable material in the notoriously damp PNW.
We will walk through the woods together, collecting tinder materials and firewood while learning ethics of foraging and harvesting wood from natural areas.
Each person will build their own fire without a lighter and use our 5-step fire-building that will likely be your new go-to fire-building method.
Firelighting is the most important bushcraft skill to learn. If you want to increase your preparedness for a survival situation through learning how to procure the right materials to successfully start a fire with only a knife and a simple fire tool, this class is for you!
This class will take place rain or shine!
