I really appreciate this video because so many are focused on creating the finest curls possible. I find it far more realistic and less time consuming to use thicker curls , Especially when the temperature drops and my dexterity weakens.
No, I did not use a firesteel in this video, but check out the video "Fire In A Thunderstorm", in that video i show a good way to light a fire with a firesteel. Thanks for watching. /NS.
I would have liked to see you start the fire with a bow or even a striker so other people can be learn how to start a fire from scratch. Other than that it's a great video. love the feathering job too. I was looking for a video of that technique to show a friend as I am not out in the woods to do it myself. Well done.
Nice on NS, simple and enjoyable. Feather sticks are a brilliant way of getting fire started and in certain situations they can be invaluable. its a great skill to have and looks like you've got it nailed! Sweet mate!
This was far from hard batoning and the wood was pine which is a softwood, and the pieces were completely knot-free, there was no possible risk of destroying the knife. But I understand what you mean and if I were in a survival situation I would think twice before I did this. /NS.
That is very true my friend, it's all about how well you have prepared yourself, whether you make a fire or build a shelter you have to be prepare with both knowledge and materials. /NS.
Camp fires are very relaxing to just sit and watch, it can be difficult at first when you start making them but it gets easier when you get further into the wood. /NS.
NorthSurvival "what axe is that?" "I don´t know what it was called, but it was cheap." "What knife is that?" "Mora 2000." What you racist against axes or sumthin!!! lol!
ShesBeyondBeauty As is said just add more wood. But one thing you can do is put the ends of one or two logs on the fire when it has plenty of red hot ‘coals’, and then when that part is burnt move the loge in a little more. This saves having to prepare so much wood, and in the half or whole log, and here I am talking of a log of maybe 10 cm thick, the wood will burn slower so is ideal to use when camping at night where you might want to build the fire up a little but in a way that it does not flare up and burn too quickly as you will be asleep! Take care mrbluenun
Dave Canterbury endorses the use of feather sticks more than any other form of tinder actually. You might check out his pathfinderschool videos. Just a suggestion.
Awesome video. I subbed. Quick question. What Mora knife is that? I am looking to buy my first Mora and that one looks like it has a touch longer blade.
Have you done much batoning? Ive heart for a partial tang knife they hold up very very damn well. Also heard they come razor sharp and stay that way for a long time. $30 for that or is a damn steal. I dont know how they do it.
Could you please tell me the brand and model of knife? I am considered buying a moraniv bushcraft knife to do simple feathersticking and batoning? Any thoughts on a solid knife to do what you do here (I am hoping to stay below $100)

Wish I could do this myself live in the outdoors wooden home go out and catch and hunt for food cook over a fire the lot if only someone could point me to the right direction tbh
For me personnally, I've always felt that feather sticks were a waste of time. What is the advantage of feather sticks compared to just a pile of wood shavings?
vicarious1028 feather sticks pretty much guarantee dry wood for fire lighting and are less prone to blowing away in high winds. They also concentrate the fire when you are lighting it while allowing good air circulation at the same time.
o0FreeRunner0o thank you for your reply. I think my original post may have been taken as sarcasm but I really wanted to know. I can see how keeping the shavings from a feather stick would be beneficial under windy conditions now that you mention it.
If you cant make kindling with an axe you're doing it wrong. Batoning with a knife should only be used to split wood when there is no other option available. It puts an incredible amount of stress on your blade and if you're in an emergency situation, the last thing you want is a broken knife.
I really appreciate this video because so many are focused on creating the finest curls possible. I find it far more realistic and less time consuming to use thicker curls , Especially when the temperature drops and my dexterity weakens.
I like the technique of placing a piece of wood to lean the "tipi" against. It looks like it makes the early fire very sturdy.
Yes it does, and gives it much air.
No, I did not use a firesteel in this video, but check out the video "Fire In A Thunderstorm", in that video i show a good way to light a fire with a firesteel.
Thanks for watching.
/NS.
your videos are so interesting. I could sit here and watch them for hours. thanks
Camp fires are always so cool to sit and watch. Your feather sticks look better then mine. I'm going to have to practice more. Great video.

Nicely done. Looks like you have a beautifl hunk of land there.
Well done. Straight to the stuff with no bs. Awesome vid.
+MisterAnthropist Thanks a lot.
Love the video, great angle to see everything, simple to understand. Next time I'm out there I am sure that this will come in handy.
+Hayden Jones Thanks a lot.
Its a bit challenging to build up the fire only with feather stick.
Very nice video!
Greetings!
Alex.
OH!!! A diddle stick! That's what mountain men called them in the 1800's.
Thank you. Yes.
This video should have more views, it is fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you my friend.

that bow saw is freakin awsome sir. I would love to have one
Yes it worked good.
well done brother, just like I would have done it. Thumbs up from Nygaard Bushcraft.
Your videos are awesome...I love watching them! I've subscribed!
Thank you.
Camp fires are very relaxing to just sit and watch, it can be difficult at first when you start making them but it gets easier when you get further into the wood.

Great video and nice sticks with just a mora!
Love your videos man.
Thank you.
NorthSurvival "what axe is that?"
"I don´t know what it was called, but it was cheap."
"What knife is that?"
"Mora 2000."
What you racist against axes or sumthin!!! lol!
Clash Bluelight Haha, yes against cheap axes.
NorthSurvival O_O
I own a Mora 2000 because of your videos. Thank you
Thanks, It does not matter if you do them fast or slow as long as they become good.
/NS.
Nice job with the fire build
nice vid mate great job on the fire sticks all the best alb
You are welcome my friend, thanks for watching, and thank you very much for the sub.
/NS.
Thank you, well, i do not know, but it must be full tang, sharp, strong steel, good for batoning.
learned like 19 different things from just this video
Excellent! Very relaxing video, my friend.
Beautiful fire.
+Mr. Tbag Thank you.
Thanks, it can be difficult at first when you start making them but it gets easier when you get further into the wood.
/NS.
Very good video :-) I liked the technique you used with the knife to chop the wood, what type of #wood did you use?
Thanks, pine.
To be honest, I see no problem in making fire with matches. At least, until the wood is not wet.
I agree, have a great sunday.
/NS.
awesome. i love fires
Very informative, thanks for the video!
Thanks a lot.
What kind of knife were you using ? By the way , love your videos
Maybe you can buy one on amazon or ebay.
/NS.
Verry nice fire :) Congrats !
Have a nice weekend !
Bogdan
In a survival situation, what is your favorite knife. By the way, great videos. Keep up the good work
i love feather sticks but alas, the pine in my area doesn't like to cooperate. great vid though!
I got it from a store here in Sweden. I don´t know what it is called.
Nice feather sticks bro.
Thank you very much for the sub, i am glad you liked it, and feather sticks are a great way to light a fire.
/NS.
This is a real fire, and you don´t need to make it hard all the time to light a fire.
Hi,
Looks like you found some nice dry wood which caught fire easily with your technique.
Take care
mrbluenun
+mrbluenun Thanks a lot.
Kick ass dude!!!
Thank you.
Lovely fire man
That was fun to hear, i hope you will enjoy it. Thanks.
/NS.
Wow i love it nice i subscibeed your channel so keep uploding veidos
Viraj Singh Thanks a lot.
thats pretty sweet idea....i will try next time!
Two questions. 1. How many hours can that fire last to? 2. When the fire dies down, do you repeat the same exact steps?
It can last for as long as you have firewood, no, just put more wood on.
ShesBeyondBeauty As is said just add more wood. But one thing you can do is put the ends of one or two logs on the fire when it has plenty of red hot ‘coals’, and then when that part is burnt move the loge in a little more.

Steady mora 200 eh? I dunno why i still keep eye of this knoife even though I already own two slightly different companions. Nice Sunday man
May I ask what ax your using? Nice video thanks.
"Wetterling Swedish Forest Axe" thanks, my new video is up now.
I like the video because how he used the wood shedding to make the tender
Thank you.
I am so glad you liked my comment
It works great for batoning.
It was a Mora 2000, thank you.
Thanks, yes i will if someone would like to see a video like that.
/NS.
Thank you my friend.
Thank you.
Great stuff! Will you be doing more fishing?
Cool...do you use a firesteel??
Dave Cantebury, Cody Lundin, Les Stroud, Joe and Matt whatever could all learn something from this video. Very nice job and very informative.
Thank you my friend, fun to hear.
Dave Canterbury endorses the use of feather sticks more than any other form of tinder actually. You might check out his pathfinderschool videos. Just a suggestion.
Nick Smith I have and you are correct! Thanks for the advise.
fantastic video! I subscribed to your channel
Wetterling Swedish forest axe, check out the video "Wetterlings axe work" on my channel.
the 5 p's...propper preparation prevents poor performance!
good stuff!
Thank you my friend, i agree, they are great.
/NS.
Awesome video.
I subbed.
Quick question.
What Mora knife is that?
I am looking to buy my first Mora and that one looks like it has a touch longer blade.
+Michael Stroup Mora 2000.
Thank you very much.
I hope you enjoy it for many years to come.
Stay safe out there and have fun.
NorthSurvival im lookin into that blade myself. Take it its treated you well?
71sc502 Yes, it´s a great bushcraft knife, and outdoor knife.
Have you done much batoning? Ive heart for a partial tang knife they hold up very very damn well. Also heard they come razor sharp and stay that way for a long time. $30 for that or is a damn steal. I dont know how they do it.
Thanks.
That makes me glad to hear, and a big thank you for the sub.
/NorthSurvival (of Sweden).
awesome job! thanks for sharing
+herbmonster99 Thanks a lot.
Thanks my good friend.
/NS.
Thanks, fire is often relaxing to look at.
/NS.
Awesome my friend :)
Great video m8!!
Thank you, feather sticks are great.
/NS.
Its called a "Bow" saw. You can find them all over. Bow Saw's rule.
Cool, but science fiction in my area: 90% of holm oak, which is axe-proof!
Thank you my friend.
Thank you.
/NS.
Who cares what you use or how you light the fire, as long as it gets lit and is maintained for as long as it's needed.
Isn't that the expensive mora knife?
/NS.
the Mora is a really good knife. especially the 2000
Could you please tell me the brand and model of knife? I am considered buying a moraniv bushcraft knife to do simple feathersticking and batoning? Any thoughts on a solid knife to do what you do here (I am hoping to stay below $100)
Yes, sometimes it can be nice.
Nice fire
I was right next to the fire, it´s all okey.

Wish I could do this myself live in the outdoors wooden home go out and catch and hunt for food cook over a fire the lot if only someone could point me to the right direction tbh
Haha thanks, that would be a fun thing.
/NS.
Thanks, feather sticks are great.
/NS.
For me personnally, I've always felt that feather sticks were a waste of time. What is the advantage of feather sticks compared to just a pile of wood shavings?
It is fun to make them when you got some spare time.
in case you have no kindling, i guess
vicarious1028 feather sticks pretty much guarantee dry wood for fire lighting and are less prone to blowing away in high winds. They also concentrate the fire when you are lighting it while allowing good air circulation at the same time.
o0FreeRunner0o thank you for your reply. I think my original post may have been taken as sarcasm but I really wanted to know. I can see how keeping the shavings from a feather stick would be beneficial under windy conditions now that you mention it.
is it called saw or axe? or both?
nice skill my friend
Yes it is, i like it.
It is a Mora 2000.
Thank you!
It helps.
Cheers! Alex.
Why baton with your knife when you have a perfectly good axe with which to split wood with?
o0FreeRunner0o Because he needed small sticks and he used his cheap knife. That axe is way too big.
If you cant make kindling with an axe you're doing it wrong. Batoning with a knife should only be used to split wood when there is no other option available. It puts an incredible amount of stress on your blade and if you're in an emergency situation, the last thing you want is a broken knife.
o0FreeRunner0o This was not an emergency situation, and it is fun to baton with a knife.
how long did it burn?
Ja den blev ett konstverk, haha.
Kul med en Svensk. Ha det fint.
/NorthSurvival.
I agree.
