SUMMARY:Matchless Fire Starting with Rewild Maine
DESCRIPTION:Early humans have been controlling fire for as long as 1.7 
 million years – before humanity evolved\, beginning 300\,000 years ago. 
 Fire is a result of impact\, compression\, solar energy or friction. 
 Ancient fire-making methods include the hand drill\, bow drill\, pump 
 drill\, fire plow\, fire saw\, fire thong\, and sparks caught from striking 
 rocks. Bow drills have been used by humans around the world for thousands 
 of years. We should all learn to carry the tradition of making fire by 
 friction.\n\nLearn how to make a complete bow-drill fire-starting kit of 
 carved wood and string\, and practice using it to make a fire without using 
 matches or a lighter. We will cover the basics of friction fire\, and 
 practice form and technique to make coals effectively. Every participant 
 will make a bow drill kit to take home. Registration is required.\n\nThis 
 program is led by Rewild Maine and will meet in the Teen Space and then 
 head outside. Open to teens entering grades 6-12.
