FIRE CRAFT OREGON



Fire Craft

I'm really excited to have so much time dedicated to just a single essential skill like fire craft     ~John Butler

It’s wet and I can't start a fire!

It’s one thing to practice building a campfire during the warm and dry months of summer. But add driving rain and howling wind to the mix, and now you have perfect conditions to test and challenge your fire-making skill.

I’m down to my last match!

We appreciate the skill it takes to make a fire in extreme conditions, so we prioritize learning and applying a variety of ways to make fire. We will cover wooden and paper matches, lighters, flints, and magnesium. You will learn to use plant and tree materials and where to find the best kindling and tinder.

I'm cold and sopping wet!

Understanding the mechanics and science behind fire making is important for success. We know that without enough oxygen for combustion. we will have poor results. And we also know that not having enough dry fuel will make it difficult to make a good hot fire.

Advanced Fire Craft

The difference between an uncomfortable night out, and a life-threatening one, is your skill at making fire. Mastery empowers you for success in wet and hypothermic conditions.

"Fire Craft makes the difference! Where others fail, you will succeed" ~ Mark Wienert

Fire Craft

Our goal is to help you build a solid foundation in emergency advanced fire making. Train in person, with Mark Wienert.
