Fire Lighting

Learn how to light a fire anywhere.

Fire lighting is a basic woodman's skill and at Country Works we are experts. In this modern age, this skill is getting rarer.

Country Works run courses that will teach you the fundamentals of lighting a fire in any situation, including barbeques, making a romantic beach fire from drift wood, and in disaster and survival situations.

The courses are held in woodland managed by Country Works, or for your convenience we can arrange a course on your property if it is suitable.

What you will learn:
  • Fire safety
  • Basic fire lighting
  • Finding tinder and fuel in any environment
  • Using different sources of ignition
  • Lighting fires in wet and difficult conditions
  • Advance fire lighting skills option
