  • This is a simple way to ensure a dry tinder source in any weather condition you may find yourself in. If you have dry wood you have the means to start a fire. Making fine wood curls with your knife is a great skill to have and can certainly get you out of a pinch should you find yourself without dry tinder. Thank you for watching! God bless.

    I love this guy. Knowledgeable, humble, and capable. His technique is so good, dude started his fire accidentally premature.
    Favorite channel on TH-cam. This winter was very mild, but my bucket list goal is to spend the night in a snowstorm next year with minimal gear. Been doing a lot of preparation. This channel inspired me. Thank you!

    Featherstick tinder bundle as art. Seriously, in every small way you show how to bring excellence to the skills you practice. So absurdly informative and enriching

    Great job of explaining why you are doing something in a certain way. The feathersticks work really well for you.
    Thank you for showing us😁

    When I first started in the world of bushcraft years ago, i went on a bushcraft course. One of the very first things we were taught was making feathersticks with Curls fine enough to light directly with a ember from a bowdrill. It was for the exact same reasons you mention. If everything is soaking and all Else failed, you can always find dry wood.

    Excellent tutorial! I’ve not seen a tinder bundle shaved into a ball before. Very unique method. Great content! Thanks for showing that you don’t need a specific knife, just a sharp one. I’m a Buck 110 guy myself. Have been for years.

  • @bluesideup007
    @bluesideup007 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    Very nice. I've never seen a feather stick made quite like that. Maybe you could call it the Porcupine stick. LOL Makes a lot more sense than one that also depends on high quality tinder to accept the initial ember. Learning edge control, as you demonstrated, carries over to other carving tasks.

He's only 2 years old now so we just work on solving puzzles and tying knots. Braiding will be next and eventually we will start curling up some tinder. Great channel. Love and Thanks from Texas!

    Demonstrated effectiveness, having it lighting accidentally, was impressive!
    P.S. Bonus; combine with Felix Immerman's technique for easy featherstick-making for the win!

    What I would like to see is a video about how to find and ID flint in the wild or make a friction ignition device from something you might have on you in the event of being a hapless traveler caught out in the wilderness after some disaster strikes them. A lot of people don't necessarily prepare properly for things like this.

    Not the way I would make a feather stick but that's not me saying it's wrong , or criticising, interesting method, thanks for sharing and for taking the time and effort to make these great videos.👍🏻

    • @The_Story_Channel
      @The_Story_Channel ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think that it's not the way most people would make it but perhaps the reasons why are they never thought of doing it that way or they don't have the patience to make that many curls around the entire stick.
      I like what he did, with something that size, you could probably divide it into 2 so that you could have an extra to carry in your pack in case the weather took a turn for the worse and you need to get a fire going quickly.

    Awesome demonstration of feather sticking. First time seeing the method of laying the blade flat on the wood and slowing increasing the angle till the blade bites the wood. No one has described that method. Much easier than fumbling around increasing and lowering the angle.
    Question is you cook system an MSR 2 bowl set and pieces from other cook ware? I really like the functionality it has. The stew and bread you cooked looked really good

    Excellent information and demonstration. I like too that you actually showed us getting a flame from the ember in your bundle. Just in way of an alternate technique; one can drive the point of their knife into a stump or log (baton it in gently with a piece of wood if need be) with the cutting edge facing away from you and the knife leaning at about 30 to 40 degree (from horizontal) angle away from you. Then pull the piece of wood toward you and the cutting edge, setting the bite angle by adjusting the wood. It gives great control and takes a lot of strain off one's wrists and hands. Safe too. Just my two cents worth. Really loving your videos since recently discovering you and Subscribing. Thanks for the awesome content.
