| Description | The Little Nature Museum is offering a new workshop, “Fire, 7,000 B.C.” from 1 PM – 3 PM, rain or shine. You will spend two hours with primitive skills instructor, Rudy Bourget, learning how to start a fire using nothing more than sticks and a piece of string.
Start by making your string from plant fibers. You will also learn the chemistry of fire, the secrets of tinder, what woods make the best kindling and fuel, fire safety, and leave no trace considerations regarding campfires. You will build and light a fire using sticks and your piece of string.
Preregistration is required; enrollment is limited to 10; ages 15 through adult; ages 13 or 14, with an adult. Call 746-6121 to register. Attendees must arrive at least five minutes before the workshop.

He is a founding member of the White Mountain Primitive Skills group and has presented primitive skills programs at both the New England Primitive Gathering and the Maine Primitive Gathering. |
