Event Details

Campbell County Public Library is pleased to welcome Boy Scouts Troop 6064 on Tuesday, June 4 from 6-8pm to teach young and old how to create fire! This class covers the flint and steel technique to start a campfire.

An understanding of fire making skills can be a life-saver in a wilderness survival situation. From warming a shelter, to purifying water, and cooking food, survival fire skills are an essential tool for cool climate environments. The class includes demonstrations, practical information, and hands-on practice.

In this class you will:

  • Learn the principles of primitive fire-making
  • Learn how to prepare, construct, and maintain a campfire
  • Gain an understanding of the flint and steel fire starting method
  • Practice making coals/fires
