[@Pethyr.Vandrar]

What would you like to see next?

[@Thebushcraftcouple]

Maybe different tarp setups. With the stick. Always nice to get some new ideas😎

[@Thebushcraftcouple]

Or making a bushcraft saw. We still need to learn this for our adventures

[@Mangopiopi]

Types of adventure, reason and style perhaps, btw great stuff

[@hanshans387]

Try Salto Del Pastor Canario with a long stick!

[@kooolainebulger8117]

so glad we've got more stick fans might get a swordcane eventually

[@paddor]

I think Fandabi Dozi would approve of this

[@jamesalexander6417]

The mighty stick has been an ever present companion to us since time immemorial and allowed us to do many incredible things.

[@Thebushcraftcouple]

Wow never thought about this many purposes of a stick. The extension for the saw is also a great idea for our bushcraft adventures. Keep up the vids, we like them a lot 😀

[@Pethyr.Vandrar]

Glad i inspired you! Hope to see some stick actions in your next bushcraft adventures 😆😉

[@Thebushcraftcouple]

@@Pethyr.Vandrar haha definitely😀

[@dirkscheidemann3127]

It was for this channel that i started to take a staff to my walks. And i like it. I really think it absorbs all the little stories and adventures that i encounter. Thank you Pethyr from Germany, Dirk.

[@Pethyr.Vandrar]

Great to hear!

[@josephlevacher995]

A few more things. It is amazing to help you get up when falling in deep snow ( I live in Canada). You can also knock down high hanging fruits. Wrap rope around it to be used for hanging food away from bears and other animals, make shelter or tie-up a Sasquatch when you find one, and other things of course. Tie your knife at the end to make a spear. Thanks for the vidéo.

[@Pethyr.Vandrar]

Thanks! Wanted to show some snow footage but we only get snow deep into winter, so maybe in a next video :)

I have inherited a 4' long over an inch thick oak closet rod, which has been my constant companion on my outdoor adventures for decades. It is my balance aid, my bindlestaff for making carrying my stuff easier, my fire tending tool, and my preferred means of close in personal defense against anything i expect to find in the woods. It has served me well It has earned the names "Archimedes""thunk" "be cool!"" and "coyote bane" at various times for very good reasons.

[@Pethyr.Vandrar]

I like the Coyote Bane name, a goof fit ! 😄

[@craigsurette3438]

@@Pethyr.Vandrar Camping alone in rural New England at night in autumn can lead to some...close encounters. They get bold and opportunistic when they get hungry and i prefer to have something with me that is a little more of a deterrent than harsh language

[@Teng376]

With a bit of rope you can also make a staff sling with it, making it a ranged weapon which is easier to use than a traditional sling. You could make a video about the various uses of rope, which is even more versatile and is also quite an ancient invention. Anyway nice music and visuals and a really well made video, I foresee your channel getting big, keep up the good work Pethyr. Greetings from Poland.

[@Pethyr.Vandrar]

Thank you for your kind words and good idea's!

[@dekeldervevo1168]

Great tips!

[@ChrisLeeW00]

I love how we are getting in touch with our roots these days A cool stick is a good thing to carry

[@Pethyr.Vandrar]

Yep!

[@MichiganHiker]

Thank you for the video, and you are correct you bond with your stick. It travels with you it becomes your companion I subscribed.

[@Pethyr.Vandrar]

Thanks for the sub!

[@chaswarren7239]

I have a favourite stick, very similar to yours that my Dad bought in Switzerland. Love it. Feels good to have it with me !

[@Pethyr.Vandrar]

@@chaswarren7239 nice!

[@jonmongul4723]

This was such an awesome video man, thank you so much for all of the thought and production value you put into it! I found the most perfect wizard staff last year (maybe it found me?🤓) and have been thinking about how I could make it more versatile for different things. I really like the idea of using it as a measuring stick and maybe even marking out specific bands for quick measurements! I’d love to hear more about what you did to your stick and what you’re excited about for new any new ideas! It would be cool to see your process for the shou sugi ban/ yaki sugi treatment on the bottom of your stick too!

[@Pethyr.Vandrar]

@@jonmongul4723 thank you so much! Yes got some more ideas on the way for my stick and other outdoor stuff. Btw:the woodsman does not choose the staff. It is the staff that chooses the woodsman!

[@zanewolfe2173]

Great video. I like the idea of using it as part of a tarp-like shelter. Also if someone did want to use their stick for fishing they can plan ahead when crafting it by adding a groove in the shaft to tie line to. I love these videos that harken back to an older way of life. I myself have just taken up whittling and am finding it to be both relaxing and rewarding process.

[@Pethyr.Vandrar]

Yes making or carving something yourself is priceless and scratches that primal itch i feel.

[@Reihner78]

Nothing like walking and feeling the faint primitive urge to pick up a seemingly well rounded stick that you spotted on the ground ....Maybe that's just me

[@Pethyr.Vandrar]

Judging by the views, you are not the only one it seems :D

[@kevinkrause744]

Great! I do carry a walking stick. Belgium 🇧🇪 has the best beers!

[@Pethyr.Vandrar]

Ahaa a connaiseur! I do not drink beer that often but i would have to agree.

[@saxoncrow2500]

You've got to love a walking stick. never leave home without mine. love the saw extension idea. Great useful vid. Thanks

Beautiful cinematography mate, and excellent video

[@Pethyr.Vandrar]

@@CDXRK thank you!

[@lyvras]

beautiful video, you got a new subscriber. by the way hows the music called you used?

[@Pethyr.Vandrar]

I used music from the videogame World of Warcraft

[@pharaohsmagician8329]

Awesome production quality dude! I can sense a true fantasy primal Explorer when I see one! A Man of the Woods! A Man of Nature!🔥🍊🦕 What music is this in the video please??

[@Pethyr.Vandrar]

Now the nerd comes out, but it is actually music from the video gameWorld of Warcraft :)

[@HugoNordic]

Cool 👍 personally i am in the process of making a walking stick with a slip fit axe head on it. Walking stick and axe in one. 👍

[@Pethyr.Vandrar]

Great idea! Best to dismantle the axe idd before heading out in public 😅

[@ibai5556]

Cool video. Where did you buy the tip for the stick? Ive been looking for them for a while

[@Pethyr.Vandrar]

I found them on Amazon and Ebay. Try for Alpine metal spike or ferrule

[@bernardopros1736]

nice images pieter!

[@Pethyr.Vandrar]

Hey Bernardo! Thanks :)

[@leslieaustin151]

I just like sticks! I’ve got several for my (short) walks. Oh, and it keeps the mad cyclists at bay… they give me a bit of room as they pass me😄

[@Pethyr.Vandrar]

@@leslieaustin151 Ah the damn cyclists, always a pain to deal with 😅

[@fabien5502]

Nice woodland where are you?

[@Pethyr.Vandrar]

Hi, Currently in Belgium :)

[@ms-ht1cj]

You must be Fandabi Dozi's soulmate. 😅

[@Pethyr.Vandrar]

A big inspiration yes!

[@miken7629]

I use my stick as a catapult to sling my rock bag over a tree limb to hang my food bag, gives more power and directionsl control. Tiie a loop that just fits over the stick. 8 inches down is rock bag then rest of line. Swing stick and stop swing just b4 straight up and rock bag catapult of end of staff

[@Pethyr.Vandrar]

Writing that down!

[@jonno27]

Stick. Is it a tool? Is it a toy? Yes it is.

[@pim1234]

If it doesn't penetrate, how do you want to use it against, bears or wolfs ???

[@Pethyr.Vandrar]

U use it as a deterrent, not to kill the animal :)

[@mallakay7372]

Gotta get me one of them

[@Thebushcraftcouple]

Where are you located?

[@Pethyr.Vandrar]

België

[@jito7377]
