🔥 Fire Lighting

Learn Essential Outdoor Skill

Fire Lighting sessions at Frylands Wood usually take place in our purpose-built campfire circle, providing a safe and practical environment for participants to learn traditional outdoor skills.

Participants are introduced to a range of fire-lighting methods, including:

• Fire strikers
• Matches
• Vaseline and cotton wool techniques

The session focuses on building confidence, understanding fire safety and developing the skills needed to successfully light and maintain a fire outdoors.

Instructor-Led Sessions

When led by a Frylands Wood instructor, sessions are designed to give participants hands-on experience while learning safe and effective fire-lighting techniques.

Sessions typically include:

• Introduction to fire safety and preparation
• Demonstrations of different fire-lighting methods
• Opportunities to practise lighting fires independently
• Challenges focused on building and maintaining a successful fire

Our instructors ensure the activity is delivered safely and encourage participants to work together, problem-solve and build confidence throughout the session.

We ask group leaders to support by helping manage participant behaviour during the activity.
