Ever wonder how people built fires before matches existed? In this hands-on workshop, instructor Mike Evans of Synchronicity Coaching walks you through primitive fire-making methods — the kind our ancestors relied on for warmth, cooking, and survival. It's part history lesson, part outdoor skill-building, and entirely fascinating.

The workshop is taught in a supportive, low-risk environment and is perfect for beginners, families, and anyone who wants to feel more capable in the outdoors. Bring sturdy footwear, work gloves, and dress for the weather. Survival knives suggested but not required.
