About this Event
Join Wolfgang to explore the relationship between the local ecology and the keys to success in making friction fires. We will go on a short walk to find various types of materials that can help with bow-drill and hand-drill fire making, and get a chance to explore identification tips and general principles. We will also have time to try a variety of friction fire methods and gain experience in working with various plants. All experience levels are welcome. Suggested: Bring any existing pieces of friction fire kits you may have - let’s work with what you have! Materials will also be provided.
*We'll be meeting at Stan Wadlow Park, 43°41'58.4"N 79°18'43.5"W (Toronto). Please refer to the coordinates for directions as using Google maps often takes you to the wrong place. There is access to a Portapotty. Feel welcome to bring water, sunscreen and your own nut-free snacks.
Pine's Community Nature Nights are free, open invitation workshops intended to inspire curiosity, learning, and connection. Each month, experienced mentors create a space for community members to grow their naturalist knowledge, tackle new outdoor skills, and explore mentoring techniques that support nature connection. Gatherings vary in theme and location (in-person and online) to create opportunities for more people to engage in nature connection. While gatherings are geared towards adults, all ages who feel able to respectfully engage with a given theme are welcome (those under 18 must be accompanied by an adult). Join us to learn, laugh, and build connections with our human and more-than-human community!
