We recently went on a guided nature day in Forres, Scotland, with Deborah Benham of Wild at Heart Ecoholidays, where we made a fire in the wood without matches - it was the most absorbing hour I have spent in a long time! My four year old was very proud in starting things using a fire steel so since returning home we've been gathering thistle seed for tinder.
"Leaving no trace" was a wonderful concept to be involved in and the melted chocolate button bread was delicious!
Your son is so lucky to have taken part in such an experience. Lovely post.
