Foraging for Fire

Details

Come foraging for fire. 🔥 We'll take a scenic walk through the woods identifying and harvesting tinder from the plants and trees around us — then put it all to use building a fire from scratch with the materials we collected ourselves. We'll also cover fire safety and Leave No Trace ethics so you can take these skills anywhere responsibly. What to wear & bring: Clothes you can walk, bend, and sit in — dress for the conditions Sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen) Shoes you don't mind getting dirty Water and snacks Bug spray if you're sensitive Your knife if you have one About your Instructor Ali has taught wilderness survival and led wilderness expeditions on three continents since 2010. You'll learn from someone who doesn't just have the skills- she lives them. Ali spends 3-6 months a year living in wilderness areas while leading trips- something she has done for a decade. She also completed a 21 day Naked and Afraid challenge in Zambia- completing 18 of those days solo when her partner tapped out. Why Choose Us? This isn't your standard survival course full of machismo and dominance. We don't see the wilderness as an inherently hostile place that we need to conquer. Nature is our home- we are nature. Most wild places are abundant with resources ready to help us survive, we just have to learn where to look and how to see. Our mission is simple: get more people confidently adventuring in the wild. Wilderness survival skills are critical to doing that successfully, so we made it accessible by keeping costs down and class sizes small- all while supporting our local nature conservancies and our instructors.
