Tettegouche event – Primitive Fire Starting

Date: June 2, 2024

Time: 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Location: Tettegouche State Park

Event Description

Without matches, lighters, or other modern tools, most of us would be in big trouble if we needed a fire. Learn traditional and historic fire starting technologies and try them out. We’ll be playing with flint-and-steel, bow drills, magnifiers, and other techniques including the use of native mushrooms and fungi to aid in your efforts. This is a drop-in event.
