- Dundreggan Rewilding Centre - Come along to Dundreggan for a fantastic Bushcraft Fire Skills workshop!
Get back to basics and learn how you can start and maintain a fire safely using modern and ancient methods, including fire by friction. Join a member of our team in our tipi to learn how to safely start a fire using bow and drill sets and modern fire steels.
Firstly, learn about the importance of fire, its use through time and the evidence of people at Dundreggan. See examples of traditional things people would use as tinder to start a fire such as mushrooms, bark and moss.
Have a go at using modern fire strikers to create sparks and make your own mini fire, then use flint and steel and create fire by friction using a bow drill.
This is a great, hands-on activity for families and suitable for children aged five and over. Join us for a wonderful immersive experience to learn about cultural traditions in Dundreggan’s beautiful landscape.
