How do you not have a million followers by now?!?!? One of the most useful channels ever!

We love you from all over the world Felix! Greetings from Ireland!🇮🇪

Because only a very few people know that SAKs are such excellent tools.

Felix is the kind of fella you want to hang out with. Seems like a genuine good guy. Take care buddy.

Willow bark is very strong, but what you taught us is inspirational and most practical. Brilliant! Felix, thank you so much for this video. *Hugs* Wendi

Hello Wendi. Thank you so much for this wonderful compliment!

[@poplarridge9719]

Makes handy cordage. I've heard this called a withee. I have made it mostly from hazel, but also had success with young maple. I have been able to work through stiff parts where an offshoot branch comes out by using a smooth rock or a stick. I'll put the piece I'm working on a platform of flat wood or stone and gently tap the bark to break it loose from the inner fibers. This should be a common topic on bushcraft and survival channels, but nobody talks about it. Thanks for sharing it, Felix!

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot for your super interesting comment!

[@saraskold9631]

See you next friday and Sepp is awesome too!

[@FelixImmler]

Thank you Sara!

[@VinlandAlchemist]

I have never seen a video of yours that was a waste of time... it's all very useful, and necessary for good purpose! This one addresses a very serious need for bushcrafters, and the information is both simple, yet very valuable. There are many bushcrafting channels that I subscribe to, but yours has LONG been (and continues to be!) my topmost favourite! Thank you for this! 🙂👍

[@FelixImmler]

Wowwwwwww your comment make me happy! Thanks for your compliment!

[@VinlandAlchemist]

@@FelixImmler Ive been wondering... have you ever heard of a "Chippewa kitchen"? Do a KZbin search for it - I bet if anyone could make one with just a Swiss Army Knife, it would be you! Good idea?? 🙂

[@simenvillmann7452]

Felix! You are the reason why I after about 25 years of using only a Leatherman, ordered myself a Victorinox! You have SO many ingenious ideas and wonderful hacks🤩 Keep up the good work!

[@FelixImmler]

Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback!

[@nauticalknotcraft]

Natural handmade cordage, that's where it all started. Excellent video. Fun Friday with Felix. Thanks for all the Great info. Bravo

[@thisisnotascreename]

I just discovered your channel and it made me so happy!! You are a breath of fresh air, truly knowledgeable, with a friendly demeanor and not using 5 million "tactical" tools. I like that you use realistic tools, propose truly useful applications and show us the real effort of making the projects. Thank you!! 😊

[@richardmacyczko1580]

Outstanding!!!! So many bushcrafters use paracord but few show how to use natural cordage. Buy the way TA Outdoors mentioned you in one of his videos. This is the third bushcrafter that has mentioned you. You are ver popular around the bushcraft and survival community. Thank you teacher. Respect from Florida US 🌴

[@FelixImmler]

Hello Richard. Thank you so much for this interesting hint!!

[@josercarlucci]

Thank you so much Felix for sharing your precious bushcraft wisdom and technique with us!

[@seyithantoprakgungor5106]

Thanks for the technique Felix, I always loved making handmade ropes but I just couldn't get the materials I needed from the tree twigs because they would just split when I try to bend them. This little trick is perfect for extracting the fiber out of them for more complex ropes. Thanks a bunch!

[@BladeWalker77]

Very important lesson for everyone who love the outdoors. To be able to make cordage is one of the most important skills. Thanks!.

[@FelixImmler]

I agree. Thank you Lenoardo!

[@willikebari5478]

Ja, es gibt viele Techniken und Naturmaterialien um sich eine Schnur, oder ein Seil zu machen. Ich gebe zu, auch hier habe ich wieder einiges dazu gelernt! Vielen Dank dafür lieber Felix!👍👍👍 Liebe Grüße aus Wels und ein schönes Wochenende!
