Event Details
Join local outdoor enthusiast Jaime Winter at the Adamstown Grove for a hands-on intro to the Bow Drill, a time-honored technique for fire-starting in the backcountry. We will discuss useful materials, where to look for them and how to craft them into the tools you’ll need. We’ll cover several basic skills involved with an emphasis on safety, and participants will have the chance to build a coal with the bow drill. Jaime will also demonstrate how to successfully start a fire with a flint key.
Jaime is an avid backpacker. He has taught outdoor leadership at Lock Haven University, led hikes for many outdoor organizations, and served as a Wilderness EMT.
