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

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.

You are a great teacher. Kudos

I love this guy. Knowledgeable, humble, and capable. His technique is so good, dude started his fire accidentally premature. Favorite channel on KZread. 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!

Very cool I like the feather stick bundle.

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.

The forbidden corn on the cob 🌽🔥

this is art

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.

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😁

Fantastic presentation, very well done. My man, what can I say, it always is of course however, this one (video) knocks most, out of the park.

I'm new to bushcrafting and fire making, but I've watched a lot of videos on it 😂. That is the nicest featherstick bundle I've ever seen. The bar has been set, thank you. Haha

thanks for the tutorial, definitely wanna check this out. PS> amazing beard.

Thank you so much for this video. Appreciate you!

Great tutorial. Best take on the old 'fuzz-stick' I've ever seen.

Bro your featherstick looks amazing it is really good like you said it will do the job even in really wet conditions this is the best featherstick i have ever seen

Yup just gave this a try and got a whole new appreciation for your art. With a little practice I'll hopefully get my heap of flakes to catch, but your bundles are beautiful on another level.

you’re my favourite channel to watch :D

Super video my friend 👍🍀🤠

great one, i will practice on this next time im out. Thx!

Great advice.

So helpful Thank you.

Impressive! You make it look easy. I Have never seen anyone make a feather stick e you did. Thanks for sharing this and I will give it a try myself. Makes a lot of sense and you are an excellent teacher.

nice vid man. would be nice to see more of those videos where you build a camp/shelter and sleep in extreme cold. its so relaxing and fun to watch

He has a number of videos on that topic, with various shelter configurations, if you go to his home page and select "Videos."

I don't care who you are or where you live......this is just good stuff to watch just so "YOU KNOW"......because, you NEVER KNOW! God bless ya kiddo......loved it.

Thanks for watching!

Very good instructional video, I learnt something.

Great and informative video. I've practiced making feather sticks, but never like that. The method you've shown is now how I'll be practicing and hopefully use in the near future on some potential overnight hikes!

George Herter called that a “magic fuzz stick”! You’re right you gotta get the right stick to do it as good as you did. They always work great and if you’re with other people you will really look like you know what you’re doing!

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.👍🏻

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.

@@The_Story_Channel I agree 👍🏻

You're a great teacher, and one of the best bushcrafters out there. Thanks for another great video!

Wonderful work and thanks for sharing this technique with us!

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.

I would love to see a video like this!

I had the same buck 110 but gave it to a friend... that fixed blade you have there looks like a really good knife..

Wow, completely different to how I do a feather stick but I am going to be trying it. Thanks for sharing.

pretty neat to see the slanted curls

You demonstrated the best methodical demonstration of this technique I’ve seen. Thank you for helping me get better.

Love your videos! Is a ASMR while teaching survival skills and is not fear base. Just here's how to do it, concise, digestiable, clear angles, appropriate pace. I really appreciate it! ❤🎉

Very informative thanks for sharing.

Oh cool.Thank you for showing me this.

Hello, looks like a pinecone, very interesting video , thank you

Perfect,loved it,thanks for sharing very informative video,take care & God bless 🏕️🙏🫡

Perfection.

What you are sharing with all of us is incredible to say the least. The demonstration of the technique need to do these things is that of a young master woodsman. What a blessing it is to have found your Bushcraft site. I look forward to all of your future videos, and in closing. I love the way you sign off with a blessing from the Lord to all watching. Be safe out there young man, and how refreshing it is to meat someone like yourself.

I think your videos are just brilliant. Such new and innovative content. Not just rehashing Ray Mears but actually working out new ways of doing things. Just brilliant. Thank you.

That is a very cool trick thank you for sharing.

Thanks, brother. That's exactly the info I needed.

that is SO satisfying wtf, cant wait to give this a try!!

I love to watch you start a camp fire, it is illegal in my country so I can only watch.😊😊

I'm 50 and learned all this stuff from my grandparents. I grew up with the mindset that everyone knows the simple things. That being said, you sir, will be a great teacher to older generations that don't know squat, that my generation would let the Darwin award remove.

Beautiful atmosphere!

Simply brilliant, thank you.

Brilliant. Learned something new again. God bless.

Awesome technique! Thanks for that one! God bless, man!

Outstanding!

Amazing, will try. Thanks

Thank you for sharing this knowledge. God bless!

A real master. Thanks for this.

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.

I was getting discouraged because it wasn’t working for me. This video helped a lot. Thank you so much.

Thank you 🙏

Awesome! Have to try that for sure!

Absolutely phenomenal video.

Great demonstration Ryley 👍

Ita videos like these that I wish we had more of for bushcraft. Thank you for all that you do.

I have never seen it done like that. Awesome!

Fantastic !!! I ll give it a try

Great one!👍👍👍

Exelente !! Abraços do Brasil

Another fantastic lesson... your videos bring me back to my childhood. My dad and granddad taught me all this stuff. My son will be learning soon... 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! God bless. 🙌

Amazing video, nice.

Great knife control practice. Definitely going to have to give this method a try

Excellent teaching style! It does not get any clearer. Subscribed instantly! Asto feather curling, this must be the holy grail. :-)

Beautiful

Thank you for the information about how to make a tinder bundle which is actually one piece, with a nest for the ember. Demonstrated effectiveness, having it lighting accidentally, was impressive! P.S. Bonus; combine with Felix Immerman's technique for easy featherstick-making for the win!

great video

As always, your videos are very informative and super helpful! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skill!!

good job on a nice unique and informative video. subscribed

I’m sorta sure I couldn’t do that…..shavings are art…You make it look easy…good instruction.

So simple but so effective! Really interesting to watch.

Simple technic easy but very practical thank you very much stay safe out there

Thanks for the Council of a friendly way also try to hold a hook waiting for a video with a treasure love you to look very nice from Siberia

That was the best tinder bundle I've ever seen looked real awsome when that fire rotated and badass knife, what's it called?👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Real fire man

Amazing skills. If I am able to make a tinder bundle like that, I don't think I'd be using it to make fire. I'll probably have it framed and put it in display. See how cute those feather stick balls are. 😍

That is me, if I manage to get a decent bundle, I can’t bear it burn it. I only use the ones that are failires

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

👍🏼i seriously used bellybutton fuzz once as an extra boost of fire starter. cut off a strip of old tshirt i got for wiping hands and snot rag. i always carry apples for a snack and sometimes corn chips👍🏼 those chips are full of flammable oil and easier for beginner's start a fire.

Hi Bro, good skills, and well explained and demonstrated. Filmed well too, keep up the good work bud. Regards from the UK Moose

Super 😀 dziękuję pozdrawiam serdecznie 🤗👍👏

Como fiquei encantada ouvindo sua voz ,não entendi nada kk mas através dos comentários percebi que estava ensinando uma técnica. Minha admiração aqui do 🇧🇷

Thank you!

the tinder balls are so cool. but i bet its SO MUCH HARDER than you make it look lol. definitely gonna try it myself next campfire 🔥🔥🔥

I like to use birch bark dust. I make it up ahead of time and keep it in airtight bottles.

Stay warm brother!!

everyone who seeks clarity on the hows of how a fire works - should really watch this video.

Your finished product, looks to pretty to be setting on fire, but what a great way to do it! I was taught the shavings pile usually on a flat piece of wood or a stone, and spark into that, and yes had those issues with wind you discussed. Much profanity was expressed when that happened.

If you haven't already, you should do a detailed video on what a ferro rod is, the parts included and how to use one. Also, maybe do a video on all the ways to start a fire without matches or a lighter etc.

Good tip! Hey, what's the backpack you have in this video? Looks like something I've been looking for :)

It’s Woodsperson now. 😉

Hey man, love your channel. Can you please recommend a basic cookware set for cooking on open fire when backpacking?? Thank you

Can you do one on sharpening? Love your edges.
