Bow Drill Kit & Fire Making

$60.00

Join us in the Wood Guild this Spring to make your own Bow Drill Kit for fire making. Practice the art of tinder and coals to flames with your new bow drill kit. Using hand tools and wood from the land you will learn many techniques that can be applied to all sorts of bushcraft.

Making fire by friction is one of the oldest crafts in human history, let’s honour the past by learning this survival skill.

Bring a knife if you have one, we have lot of tools here too! Let’s stoke our inner heartwood together and bring some fire to life!

Facilitator Bio

Dylan Paczay

I am moved towards harmonious alternatives to modern ways of living. Inspired by the natural world, I quest to make resilient life paths accessible for myself and to those around me. I have passion for transforming freshly fallen trees into useful tools and structures. I was raised around my father’s construction company and my teen years were spent at our family’s essential oil farm. Now and for the past 9 years, I’ve taught at outdoor schools in the Guelph area. Pushing my capacities as a craftsperson has brought me to study glassblowing at Blown Away, complete the tool and die program at Conestoga College, explore the depths of bushcraft, and opening a machine shop in Wellington County.
