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
I love this guy. Knowledgeable, humble, and capable. His technique is so good, dude started his fire accidentally premature. Favorite channel on RUclips. 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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
An excellent featherstick piece of art indeed. It needs a lot of energy to construct it though, time and some equipment. Plan ahead. In bushcraft you need to practice skills without tools because in real life situations you will probably wont have any. So, focus in other technics that don't need a knife for example. try to use things from the environment you're into. If you master these skills without tools, then imagine what you can do when you're somehow equipted...
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!
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!
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! ❤🎉
sir--ive watched COUTNLESS horus of bushcraft--VERY cool video, one of my favs, esp. explaining the nuance into finding the right stick for feathersticking (admittedly, after watching ur vid, i've been choosing the wrong sticks). also loved ur tinderstick bundle. thx brother! looking forward to scoping the rest of ur channel
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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. 😍
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. 🙌
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 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.
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.
Como fiquei encantada ouvindo sua voz ,não entendi nada kk mas através dos comentários percebi que estava ensinando uma técnica. Minha admiração aqui do 🇧🇷
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.
I got all my Bushcraft skills from Riley from this channel. Thank you so much, they absolutely all came in handy for me. Especially after the war started)

Thanks for watching!
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.
So helpful Thank you.
Great advice.
Very cool I like the feather stick bundle.
The forbidden corn on the cob 🌽🔥
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😁
Perfection.
Super video my friend 👍🍀🤠

@@The_Story_Channel I agree 👍🏻

great one, i will practice on this next time im out. Thx!
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
Thank you so much for this video. Appreciate you!
Very good instructional video, I learnt something.

I would love to see a video like this!
Great tutorial. Best take on the old 'fuzz-stick' I've ever seen.
thanks for the tutorial, definitely wanna check this out. PS> amazing beard.
Thank you 🙏
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."
you’re my favourite channel to watch :D
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.

Oh cool.Thank you for showing me 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..
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!
everyone who seeks clarity on the hows of how a fire works - should really watch this video.
I was getting discouraged because it wasn’t working for me. This video helped a lot. Thank you so much.
Wow, completely different to how I do a feather stick but I am going to be trying it. Thanks for sharing.
You demonstrated the best methodical demonstration of this technique I’ve seen. Thank you for helping me get better.
Hello, looks like a pinecone, very interesting video , thank you
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!
Wonderful work and thanks for sharing this technique with us!
I love to watch you start a camp fire, it is illegal in my country so I can only watch.😊😊
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! ❤🎉
That is a very cool trick thank you for sharing.

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

that is SO satisfying wtf, cant wait to give this a try!!
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.
Awesome! Have to try that for sure!
Thanks, brother. That's exactly the info I needed.
Fantastic !!! I ll give it a try
Great one!👍👍👍
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.
A real master. Thanks for this.
Excellent teaching style! It does not get any clearer. Subscribed instantly! Asto feather curling, this must be the holy grail. :-)
Ita videos like these that I wish we had more of for bushcraft. Thank you for all that you do.

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

Thank you for sharing this knowledge. God bless!
Beautiful atmosphere!
Absolutely phenomenal video.

Simple technic easy but very practical thank you very much stay safe out there
Outstanding!
So simple but so effective! Really interesting to watch.
Amazing video, nice.
Exelente !! Abraços do Brasil
Great knife control practice.
Definitely going to have to give this method a try
👍🏼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.
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 🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful
That was the best tinder bundle I've ever seen looked real awsome when that fire rotated and badass knife, what's it called?👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Brilliant. Learned something new again. God bless.
pretty neat to see the slanted curls
Amazing, will try. Thanks
Very informative thanks for sharing.

Great demonstration Ryley 👍
Simply brilliant, thank you.

good job on a nice unique and informative video. subscribed
Hi Bro, good skills, and well explained and demonstrated. Filmed well too, keep up the good work bud.

I like to use birch bark dust. I make it up ahead of time and keep it in airtight bottles.
Stay warm brother!!
Exquisite! This is a mix of essential knowledge and fine art.
Real fire man
I got all my Bushcraft skills from Riley from this channel. Thank you so much, they absolutely all came in handy for me. Especially after the war started)
Good tip! Hey, what's the backpack you have in this video? Looks like something I've been looking for :)
Hey man, love your channel. Can you please recommend a basic cookware set for cooking on open fire when backpacking?? Thank you
This is the type of stuff people should learn in schools. Basic survival skills.
