Even dry weather this is a all around cool trick.
Best advice in this entire video is that “… it takes time.”
I saw this done with a slight modification. Once the feathers are cut and rolled up, still attached, a cut/proud stop is made next to the feather start. This way your ferro rod starts and stays put against that hard edge so it won't slip and take all the feathers with it. Try it :)
nice idea, i will definitely remember it
It makes the whole thing very stable. Plus you can rest the end of the log against a tree or the ground without it hanging freely. Extra win :)
The feather stick is such a cool thing tbh.
Thanks
Excellent! Thanks.
Great vid! When making my feather stick, I usually incorporate several “extra thick” feathers. Still lights easily, but extends the burn time, often long enough to ignite the stick itself. Thanks for passing on your copious knowledge!!!
great idea!
Dan, I enjoy your bushcraft videos; and, your website name, “Coalcracker,” brings back memories of my youth as I was growing up in Muskegon, Western Michigan. Back in the 1950’s, we were heating a small, four room house with a coal stove in the living room. Periodically, the coal company would deliver a ton of coal into the bin on the side of the house; and, some of the coal lumps were the size of a basketball. It was my job to go into the coalbin with a ball peen hammer and break up those lumps into a more serviceable size, occasionally revealing fossilized plant matter in the seams. Hence, I was a coalcracker at an early age.
Thanks for the memories.
I used to work at a little old hospital in Muskegan, Michigan. I lived in Grandrapids, but, liked the little hospital. I liked Muskegan too. You’re the first person I’ve ever heard from back there. Anyway, Hey. I live in Portland, Texas, now.
@@papajeff5486 Texas! Wow! Cadillac MI area here. Texas seems a world away. Would love to get out there.
Wow. That flare at the end looked awesome! It'd be cool to incorporate that to be your 'thing'
40 years ago we called it a 'Fuzzy Stick' at Girl Scout Camp.
😂 40 years ago in the Boy Scouts we called it a feather stick. 🤔 Gender studies I guess. Same thing different name 🤷🏼♂️
Never trust a Boy Scout who wants to show a Girl Scout his ‘fuzzy stick’
@@mikerogers9711 more likely its a regional difference. But 40 years ago, boomers were raising their children, and getting teaching jobs, so that's probably when gender studies began blighting the world.
Your videos are getting more and more professional. I think they are excellent ! You also used the small amount of wind to your advantage ,which I thought was clever also .
At first I was thinking; "Alright, a feather stick. No biggy." Then you did the whole ferro rod trick, and my jaw literally dropped open. So simple, yet so profound. My toolbox runneth over.
Great tip Dan!!
Excellent stuff here. Looking to use some of the demonstrations to our UK Explorer scouts.
Great tip! Thanks Dan.
Thx Dan!
Thats fantastic. Definitely gonna remember that trick, even for dry weather.
Excellent idea , thank you .

Another good video. Suggestion: if you are going into snow or rain country, carry a couple of DRY 2×2s WITH YOU FOR YOUR FEATHER STICKS. IT'LL SAVE YOU TIME. GOD BLESS.

Amazing video!! Simple and you talk about the simplest stuff!! We all struggle at the small simple things rather than cutting down trees and huge pieces of wood!! 💪🙏🙏
Been watching / keeping up with Dan for a couple years or more, and the more I watch, the more I am convinced he is one of the best "bushcraft" creators on YT. Would love to take a skills class one day with him. I had never seen or though of this method before.
Great little tip 👌🏻

I love your videos. Great information. Many skills and how to's. I do believe your best tool is between your ears.
Nice idea brother
nice technique
Good one
Very nice
Good hack. Thanks.
Love your videos ^_^!
Great video! One thing I still need to work on is the feather stick, but practice makes perfect right
The first time I went backpacking I did it in the rain to test myself, now I did cheat tho I got a zippo I do carry a fire rod too, look under pine trees for material and dig down in the leaves to get to the dry stuff
Thx bro
That burns me up.
Great tool for the tool. Box
Love ur vids, sir, especially the short hacks! More power!
Hello my outdoors friend, thank you for sharing this, potentially, life saving video. All the best of good things for you
Love your teachings. No bull just excellently explained techniques! What's more no preaching and complete with a demonstration.
I'm definitely using this trick next time I go camping! I always use feather sticks, but never thought to spark them while holding the stick.
Cool trick and il love that t 60 bought one. Forest green love it
What is a t 60?
Thanks
Thankyou usefull info
Nice one bro
Grammar ;-)
Love the channel. Thanks for producing it. 👍
Definitely a good method for a lot of environments. I live in the northeast, spruce are everywhere. You can almost start a fire under water with spruce.
I’m a new subscriber. Al Gore’s Rhythm brought us together and I’ve enjoyed your videos! Thanks!
Great knife skills, I’ve never been able to get a feather stick half that size and I’ve been trying for well over 20 years.
Gold. I did not know the why of Feather Sticks. Thanks.
Small Material is my rapper name. Also my father taught me how to do this when I was around 6 while we were ice fishing and still using this technique almost 30 years later. Need to keep your knife really sharp so you don't injure yourself or mess up the mess you're making. 😊👍
Nice
Gute Idee cool
Tree resin is really flammable and last a good bit. Get some tree resin on the end of a twig and even a tiny spark will light it.
Wow. Nice, feather stick flamethrower
This guy is bad ass
