- Starting a fire with fire starter and Viking batting iron

You build the projects based on sketches and construction plans and under the guidance of our guides. At regular intervals, there are entertaining lessons on various relevant topics, such as knife sharpening or knotting.
You will be presented with various projects, which you will then implement alone or in a small group. You can of course take home your homemade workpieces such as spoons or carrying devices.
