PRIVATE FIRE MAKING WORKSHOP
From NOK 350
A workshop that will light your spark of curiosity. It consists of two parts.
In part one we explain the science of fire, the chemical process, and some theory.
In part two we teach the many ways of how to make fire using natural elements such as flint, birch, pine, fungus and others.
Then you get to try a few of these ways yourself. Let’s see if you can get a fire going… the primitive way.
