Participants will practice various ignition techniques, using matches, ferro rods, prehistoric flint & steel and friction fire such as the bow drill.
Experiment with different types of 'Tinder' materials, man made and natural.

All the small fires will be no bigger that a small side plate and will be on silver baking trays which can be lifted up off the ground. This reduces any burning damage to outdoor spaces.
