Stay in the Woods,

Dude is a solid teacher, 10/10 for this tutorial man thank you!
You have no idea... I took one of his classes and everything out of his mouth was deliberate, precise and he’s so patient. He’s the best instructor I’ve ever had, hands down!
Yea excellent teacher for sure. And what a great personality as well!
And so normal. What happened to that? Normal adult conversation? The only blemish is that “what’s up guys” at the beginning which I am sick of hearing, but other than that the guy just... speaks. You’d think it would be a simple thing, but in this day and age it is nothing short of a miracle! Not shouting, not “joking” every other sentence, not using trendy baby talk. He speaks. Incredible.
indeed
14 years of bushcrafting and I swear this video improved my feathers at least 50% 😱👍
6:10 has to be the worst frog drawing I've seen.
Honestly, thank you for this video! I've attempted feather sticks a few times with no luck and this explained everything I was doing wrong.
😂😂
Great. Almost made me choke on my soda.
🐸
Love this intro. makes me want to tear through the wood blazing a path.😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
My wife walked past me whilst you were drawing on the whiteboard and asked me "why are watching a video on how to draw Kermit the Frog" LOL!
Best instructional on TH-cam
The best teacher of bushcraft on TH-camrs. Maybe the best teacher ever. 🙏
Insect repellent .... its that time a year ... would make a good video ... just a thought :) love the videos keep them coming
@H K there's always a special boy in each comment section.
@H K It's the TH-cam comment section.... he's not writing a thesis... Also... his suggestion was.. solid.. Pound sand.... Sally...

The Bug Dope video from a few years ago covers this.
a blend of Lemon and Eucalyptus essential oil with a carrier of cheap vodka or witch hazel extract is a great organic insect repellent plus smell much better. Give it a try before you knock it.
Beat feather stick demo ever! Thanks
That was the best explanation of making shavings and feather sticks !! Thank you so much Dan for putting more tools in my toolbox !! Plus I really like that knife but those guns were showing too . Haha . Take care and stay safe my friend !!
This is the absolute best video on making feather sticks that I’ve found!
Thanks bro!
I was wondering why I couldn't manage to carve a feather stick and you just adressed so many mistakes I was making, thank you very much!
Excellent detailed instruction.
Outstanding video. I have always used the quartering (baton) method brcause, in addition to providing (nominally) twelve edges (peaks), it exposes the center of the wood. This is particularly advantageous when using resinous woods (pine, fir, cedar, etc.) as it exposes that resin for processing, not only for feathering, but also as kindling.
And for FATWOOD
Some channels you just thumbs up before you even watch the video. This is one of those. Great job👍
I knew some of this but knowing to keep the knife in one place and turn the wood makes sense, thanks for this
Thank you for posting this video Dan, much appreciated!
Never seen a better instruction to make feathers/shavings.. Great video, thank you!
I used to wander into the woods near my grandparent's when I was four to six. The older kids always had to come find me. I haven't camped since I was a teenager. My dad & other mom had us out at this wooded pond property practically every weekend we went up to visit. Best memories ever. I long for being back in the woods. Love your videos. Making feather sticks looks like the most soothing survival skill.
All good tips.
Really like that cabin.
Got yourself a new subscriber off this tutorial alone. Outstanding! I've been doing it so wrong...
This is by far the best, most informative video I've seen on feathersticks, thanks for making it. 👍🏼
This is an amazing video. I've been trying to craft the perfect feather sticks, but nothing has helped until this video.
This was a really great explanation. You have a natural teaching skill.
Nice vid! It's one thing to know what you're doing - and you obviosly do - but knowing how to effectively communicate/teach what you know is taking it to the next level. You know how to do that, too. Value that. A lot of people who really know their stuff are no good at teaching it. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work.
man I don't even go camping but your videos made me order a Ferro rod and try to learn these. thank you LOL
Nicely taught
This is fantastic, I've seen so many videos about firesticks but this is the first one that gives such a good tutorial on it
Awesome feathers! The best instructional video I’ve seen on this subject. Thanks!
Really excellent. Can’t wait to utilize this new teaching.
I found this to be extremely helpful, easy to understand and 5 minutes later had a pile of shavings ready to ignite, well done my friend and thankyou, just subscribed, I see a ton of really practical videos you have done, so glad I stumbled onto this channel!!!!😁😁☺😁😁
Best explanation EVER! Thank you.
Very useful video, thank you! :)
Thanks for this. Been building woods fires for decades but could never get good fuzz sticks. Gonna work on it.
Thanks Dan.
Intelligent presentation of a simple but often misapplied technique. Thanks. I was successful before but NOW - more so! 😎
Wow really clears up the proper technique for me. Thanks Dan
Thanks Dan! I always enjoy watching your videos....and I'm learning. Mabuhay ka!
Excellent explanation as usual! Now I’ll try to apply your technique and do real good feather sticks!
A true feather stick has different grades of curls for a more effective fire .God bless you and your family and happy camping 🏕 🙏 😊. Lee
That was the best feathers/shavings tutorial I've ever seen, thank you brother I can't wait to try those tricks this weekend.
Again best video, It's a skill on how you (Coalcracker Bushcraft) teach.
Thanks
Generally what I like to do is find a dead standing red maple, hack off a piece about 3 inches in diameter, baton it into quarters and make feathers from the resulting corners
Best feathersticking tutorial I've seen so far.
You're an excellent teacher Dan!
Love this channel man! Your like the older yet younger brother I didn't have growing up in the woods. My bushcraft skills have accelerated thanks to you! Jesus bless you brother.
Have to say that’s most in depth advice I’ve seen on making feather sticks.
One of the best demonstrations of feathering I've seen, can already see why I suck at it thanks mate
Very clear instructions thank you.
Every time I think I have the basics down pat, I watch one of your videos and learn something new! Thanks for all the great info.
That was perfectly explained
Best featherstick video I've seen! I finally understand what I've been doing wrong. Thank you!
Oh, man! I couldn't wait, I just had to try this out right now! And it works!! Finally I can make the perfect shavings, feathersticks! You are a great teacher, thank you so much!
The Art and Science of Feathering. Well done.
Excellent job explaining how to do this! Thank you
Great tip! I wondered why I didn't seem to do this well. Can't wait to try it!
Thanks Dan, best explanation of creating a feather stick i have seen so far, gonna give it a try tomorrow
Excellent technical demonstration
Great lesson, visuals and examples! I have used your tips to put new tools in my toolbox!
Thanks Dan very helpful can’t wait to try this technique 😊☮️
Brilliant tutorial. Thank you.
6:28 Why is Dan drawing Kermit the Frog? That said, thanks for another great video!
Gee... I’m glad someone else saw Kermit!
My wife asked me why I watching "how to draw Kermit"!
This tutorial is fantastic!
Thank you for the tip. I am going to try this on my next trip. 👍🛠🔥
Good and necessary class. Thanks.
Thanks for fine tuning... Something I already knew... You just made it easier and simpler..
Great teacher, great video.
Excellent display of proper knife handling and taking your time to do the work properly. Thank you Dan.
Love it thank you for the tutorial very useful information.
Great video! I've never had to make shavings or feather sticks and would have assumed it to be really easy and not require that much thought, but this was very enlightening! I'm proud to say though that I actually did have the image of creating peaks like you said, to create smaller bits to help create the fire!
Tried it. Works great! Top tips and great feathers.
I'm the guy who spent a lotta time in the woods & sux at feathersticking. Your method is simple & sensible. Shoulda figured it out on my own but what can I say? I'm slow at some things. I'm about to be the expert at camp now.
Featherstick clinic.... Thank you for this! Now I need to get out there.
Great tutorial Dan. Gonna give feather sticks another shot. Thanks!
This was an excellent instructional video on feather sticking. I really enjoyed watching it and I absolutely love your video intro!
I'm happy you made this video, because its a skill I want to build, and so far, have been terrible at.
Great information, simplified the process. Thank you. 👍😀
Excellent instructions
Excellent explanation of the details of this technique.
another great tip in the toolbelt. thanks my dude!
Wow. Excellent instructional video. I've been making feather sticks for 50+ years and you have increased my understanding 10 fold. I guess I'm going to have to start practicing with my newfound knowledge. Thanks a million. Well done.
Thanks for the valuable information
You are an Excellent Teacher. Best tutorial on this Ever. Thank You
Very helpful. Thanks!
Excellent demonstration and visuals on feather sticking/shavings, always enjoy your videos and good humor.
I used your method of keeping the knife immobile today (instead of keeping the stick immobile and moving the knife) and I had much more success. Thank you!
Absolutely outstanding video Dan!!! Feather sticks and shavings have skunked me still. Vaseline and cotton balls, and even the Smiths shaving thing that acts like a cheese grater. Now, I know I can do this. Running the knife across the wood without cutting is brilliant. I’m back in the woods this weekend and can’t wait to try this. Thanks Dan!!
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Dan. I’ve always had a rough time making a feather stick. Will try to find time to work on it while at W.I.T.S this weekend.
Thanks. Great video.
Really great video! Thanks!
Great job man thank you very much God bless you always
Nice instructions. Thanks
That was a great way to explain it. Thank you! I'll be definitely trying it. Keep up the great work!
Great video! Thanks!
That was the best explanation ,of anything, that I’ve seen in a while. I had attempted feathering a stick, a while back, and failed. I’ll use your tips and try again tomorrow. Thank you Dan.
great tips, I'll have to try this!
Thank you great instructions ❤
Good stuff. Thanks.
I learned something! Thanks man.
