I effing love this guy. Smart, experienced, informative, well spoken, and to the point. Great teacher.
Yeah, he's good. Just did one of his courses (survival) and the entire class is that way. Well put together, well paced, interesting, informative, and fun. He's really good at what he does.
I like the way as a very experienced Outdoorsman and instructor you concentrate on passing on the basics. A lot of youtubers would be constantly trying to get bigger n fancier with the content trying to reinvent the wheel but you stick with sharing the basics well. A great resource for many. It means I often know what you're doing and don't Need to watch it but still do because I appreciate you're style 👍

Pro instruction on the basics, always appreciated.
Been bushcrafting for many years and I still suck at shavings. This is the best guide I've seen!
One of the best explanations I've ever seen on shavings. Thanks Dan, great job!
Thanks for this! Your demo's and info are very helpful stuff! I really appreciate you addressing that one doesn't need an expensive, dedicated "bushcraft style" knife .. after all, many folks that get into situations where they need an emergency fire, are those carrying a basic pocket knife, multi-tool knife, or maybe a small neck knife, boating-type knife etc. I will share this video with fishing and personal-watercraft-using friends.
I am sure many experienced outdoor enthusiasts have enjoyed this tutorial. I am grateful.
Hi Dan Wowak! Another outstanding video! The good lord has given you a great gift, you’re an amazing inspiration and an awesome instructor. Thank you so much for the tutorials. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👊🏿 love all of the coalcracker bushcraft products, going to the woods. 👍🏽😊
I spend so much time in the woods making fire and playing with a knife, but I swear I can't make a beautiful featherstick 😂
Outstanding!
I been using wood craft say seen 1968’s and it always nice to review the skills reviewed.
Thanks 😅
Thanks Dan😊
Excellent tutorial.
Very well explained.

You're an excellent teacher and i really like your personality. I know a bit, but you know a shitload more. I wish you lived in Australia.

Good one, thanks Dan. Learned something that I thought I knew.
Excellent!! 🤠👍
Another outstanding tutorial video. I always learn a new tip or two. 🤙
Good one Dan, another tool for the box! Going to have to practice this one. It's been way over 50 years since I learned this in scouts. Used to be able to do this but after years of not, doing this it's gonna have to take some practice. Thanks!
👍👍👍 Awesome, never seen this explaind to me this well ! THANKS 👌🙌
If I should ever go into Survival Mode I would want you there with me. Thank you. Great video!! 👍👍
Enjoy watching
A few people have been known to shave with an axe, but not a good idea. Glad you didn't shave with the knife, it won't go well. However, a good straight razor can give you as fine a shave as you can get. I don't think they were called straight razors until the marketers came up with the term 'safety razor', convincing young men just beginning to shave that 'straight' razors are dangerous, and you will slit your throat if you try one. Actually, it is no more dangerous tha shaving hair off you arm with a sharp knife; as long as you don't move the blade sideways you won't cut your skin.
I have one made by the Electric Cutlery Company, Newark, NJ. It shaves great! I affectionately call it my electric shaver.
Good tips for wood shaving.
It's always funny to me how companies try to make you think you need some Rambo knife when a good bush knife isn't very big and doesn't "look" very impressive.
I actually use a folding box cutter for most of my camp tasks. The blades are cheap and easy to find, don't need sharpening because they're replaceable (although I have honed them in a pinch), dual-sided if they dull, super sharp out the box, and have a 90 degree spine. They don't baton well, though.
Awesome. I've tried making feather sticks. Full on hate it. Super windy yes. I'm fully doing what you instruct from now on. Thank you.
I'm going to be blunt and direct here. I love Dan. Awesome instructor. I've been following for years. Great. Frakin. guy.
Here's the blunt and direct part. I want an autographed hat for my daughter. She's only a few months old. How do we make that happen?
When your daughter gets older take her to the kids bushcraft class his school offers

She is going to be well equipped.
@@sonicplanet9193 my 11yo daughter has been carrying my Boy Scout knife from 30+ years ago for a couple years now and every camping trip she starts the fire with a ferro rod and a birds nest she made herself. This years class is in a couple weeks and I have to double check the calendar but I’m hoping we can attend. $400 for a weekend of one on one bonding with my kiddo is priceless
@@samrichmond2940
Irreplaceable. Those are the moments that last. That matter.
Oh yeah helping me out tremendously i always have big ol dug in chucks LOL 😆 😂 😅 Now i see my struggles of what i been doing wrong all these years
Dan -
Excellent break-down and explanation of a foundational technique for making wood shavings for firemaking.
Also, liked the tip on modifying the shavings technique for the feather stick option.
It is a great reminder that the knowledge & practice of good technique applied to a task often makes it more efficient, effective, and safer.
Happy July 4th!

Wow….. I guess Vikings weren’t always pasty white dudes….. you got some color to your skin bro 😎
This made me realize I’m getting in to deep

Dan, you “struggling” to shave with a knife, reminds me of the guy in Crocodile Dundee. 😉
You’re a Pip!! Good on ya!

Why not using a stanley-knife for learning to make survival shavings?
I learned a lot !! Thanks !!
Would actually love to see you shaving your beard with that knife.
That intro! Were you thinking of spiting your face?😄
The wood is more important than the knife.
Re-upload?
‘Factory edge new’ ROFLOL
Did everyone fail at creating wood shavings at your last bushcraft class?? lol. Just teasing, Dan. You do not mention if the bark on your stick is as beneficial as a shaving as the bare wood is…
Long story short just make a blunt stick into a sharp stick😂

Dam good job on showing off tips..🇺🇸🇺🇸🪓🔪👍👍
Thanks!
