GREEN BELT 2026
GREEN BELT 2026 So, we’ve survived the Year of the White Belt 2025. “White Belt” represents that those who participate/train (it’s a Dojo), try to acquire successful attempts at every known traditional Phyrekeeping Method, while also experiencing the culture of PhyreDojo and learning terms and definitions like: 1) 22 Variables 2) 4 Foundational Skills 3) Lost Childhood 4) Obsidian Standard 5) Competence To Comprehension 6) Names of all the Traditional known Methods and the Devices 7) Janka Hardness Scale 8) 4 Best Methods for Kids & Beginners 9) Etc. Soon begins the introductory Year of the Green Belt. “Green Belt” represents that you wish to continue your training beyond just “Making Coals”. We begin moving to the Moral/Ethical role of the PhyreKeeper that one is a Provider for their Tribe. Others before Self. Now we will begin to “Make Sets” that are of such quality that you can confidently hand them to someone else so they will “Make Coals” with the sets you made. This begins your path to teaching and training others as well. Because you will know through experience how and why Sets are made the way that they are in balancing all the “22 Variables” to achieve coals and acquire Life Supporting Phyre, you begin to fulfill your role as a PhyreKeeper to pass knowledge and experience to others. The “plan” is to run BOTH “White Belt” & “Green Belt” Workshops in 2026. You may not know this but it’s going to be a very ambitious thing to do regarding how I have practically no time already with my nursing work schedule… We begin Green Belt 2026 learning more terms and definitions: 1) RM1 (Raw Materials) – On SATURDAYS in January & February (because these places are CLOSED ON SUNDAYS) we will visit and buy Raw Materials in two places: BOARDS & BEAMS of Fairfield NJ & WILLARD BROTHERS in Trenton, NJ. We will bring the Raw Materials back to PhyreDojo in Stewartsville, NJ and cut them down to manageable pieces. 2) RM2 (Ready Milled) – In March we return to SUNDAYS, training in the processes of “milling”, which prepares the Raw Materials to be worked on further. One of the most important skills here is “Squaring a Board”.

Ragweed (Ambrosia sp.) spindles
Had fun today using ragweed to make coals for the first time. Two separate spindles I recently collected in Illinois. Mouth drill, and hand drill with the pressure thumb brace. Both on white fir (Abies concolor). Fun!

I'm very busy with my nursing job, but I'm slowing working on finishing 30 (BD) BOW DRILL PhyreBoxes that I'm hoping to finish in 2026. Each will contain 25 different woods including this one: EASTERN RED CEDAR (Juniperus Virginiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/DRxPSDtAOXz/
