Countryside Students turn up the heat....

Countryside Management students Angus, Jo, Sam and Elly try the team approach to making fire by friction. As part of an enrichment activity linked to their course students have learned how to make fire by friction using the bow drill method. They spent the morning selecting appropriate material such as elder and willow to make the drill and hearth of their fire kits and then whittled a bow from green wood before putting everything together to try and make fire.
