Awesome review on making the feather sticks. You have a fine intellectual manner in demonstrating the proper technique in making the feather sticks. Take care and be safe. 🤗

[@Nativesurvival]

Thanks appreciate it.

[@kamdenreyansh1632]

Not sure if you guys gives a damn but if you are bored like me atm then you can stream all the latest movies on Instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my brother during the lockdown =)

[@melvinkody4003]

@Kamden Reyansh yup, been using InstaFlixxer for months myself :)

[@_onesimpleidea]

First video of yours that I've seen. I want to complement you on your attention to detail, your ability to extract and explain the most important points, and your clear use of words when describing. Rare package of demonstration skills. Thanks for the good information and demonstration.

[@NorthSurvival]

That was the best looking feather stick i have ever seen, great job and a great knife. Greetings from Sweden. /NorthSurvival.

[@Nativesurvival]

thanks appreciate it

[@cedrics7374]

Nice tutorial. Indeed feather sticks are vert useful in rainy weather

[@gregorypelaez6158]

wonderful, thanks for mentioning that you are slicing down on the ridges that are created between the flat spots to make your curls, never heard that before and makes so much sense.

[@Onar72]

excellent ability to teach things many experts do but can't or don't want to explain.

[@Nativesurvival]

thanks

[@clydegray9714]

When you have a good fire going, your never alone in the woods. Appreciate your detail

[@carlosmiranda1389]

Because of you Mitch I just ordered my very first mora robust and it'll be my first fixed blade I been practicing bushcraft

[@Nativesurvival]

awesome

[@clinnyboy]

Best video yet on this. Clear, concise and very, very well done. You're an excellent teacher!

[@Nativesurvival]

thanks appreciate it

[@nothin6121]

I'm just starting out with my bushcraft skills and wanting to learn basics and this helped a lot, really informative. Thank you.

[@corvusduluth]

Good job! Excellent instruction. Reminds me of the Ainu sticks.

[@Nativesurvival]

thanks

[@ctn14250]

One thing you may want to add; A very `sharp knife`. One that holds its edge. Good flick. Semper Fi

[@kirstyn9062]

This is so relaxing to watch.

[@Nativesurvival]

thanks

[@sierraelec7105]

Thanks for the lessons on feather sticks my dad just bought me my first bushcraft knife and now I am going to use it first to make feather sticks with your video. I will not be able to do as perfect as your but you give me good teqnike. Pretty nice knife and don't loose your keys.

[@Nativesurvival]

Nice, welcome to the world of bushcraft ; )

[@nathansemko3852]

You are an awesome dude you are a good generation for the failing other coming up more people need to get out in the woods and do what you do

[@Nativesurvival]

thanks appreciate it

[@KennethKramm]

Mitch, thanks for sharing your knowledge and technique. I need to practice now. ken

[@eafwsrtgy]

Learned how to make them in the boy scouts as a kid. These are easily the best I've ever seen done. Nice job.

[@karlrovey]

This is far better than the ones I was taught to make in scouts.

[@canesser1]

Just what I was thinking! Great job Mitch.

[@silverbackdad247]

Wow that is the first time I have seen this method. Gonna adopt that into my repitoire. Thanks!!!

[@Nativesurvival]

thanks

[@rios4175]

Awesome feather sticks

[@Nativesurvival]

thanks appreciate it

[@SirMidnightBravehear]

bro loved the tips ...wanted to tell ya i got my first mora on your recommend back in early part of the year carried and used it all summer until now. It is a companion and its awesome. Liked it so much i ordered a robust higq and just got it and am stoked. Its beefy and fits my big hands well and its like a razor from the package just wanted to say thanks i dont know how i missed them all these years.

[@soulmirrors]

Very wholesome indeed, brother! I'm on a computer for a bit. Got two of your vids in. Saving that overnight series for when I can really relax and enjoy! Hope you are well, my good friend. Dave

[@HLuc]

great technique and explain at the point, short and sweet.

[@ptg4n6]

Excellent technique. Great tutorial. Thanks.

[@aafgahfah]

Thank you I really enjoyed this. Just a comment (since you asked). If building a fire I would always also get some fuel in under the feather sticks. Flames rise but heat also radiates downwards. If you put a bed of twigs, on sticks, on bigger sticks, they will soon catch and do your work for you. You will get a great bed of coals a lot quicker if you have some big chunky sticks or even logs right at the bottom. No point having a load of heat radiate into the cold ground when you’re trying to get the fire going. Thanks again!

[@calvinlewis8924]

Excellent video presentation; I learned something new in regards to feather stick making. Thanks!

[@leolldankology]

I hope you win dude, you're my pick!

[@leolldankology]

Did you have a cougar over for dinner last night? Nice work on the fish!

[@LokuKina]

I do believe, I have found the Michelangelo of feather sticks. I have seen many beautiful ones that I would put on a wall instead of burn, but yours I would feel shamed to burn. It is very beautiful and by far the best I seen. Mine are not sloppy but surly not that beautiful. Great job and nicely done giving directions.

[@LeeRalph100]

Very informative, I had to share this. This is the first time I saw anyone explaining their technique for making the feather stick

[@Nativesurvival]

thanks appreciate it

[@AussieHomestead]

Excellent - lots of surface area to work with there.

[@Shooter4547]

Great demo. First one I’ve seen that talks about what type of wood makes the best feather. 👍

[@k9razz]

Just wanted to say thanks for sharing your info and having a great channel

[@Nativesurvival]

+k9razz thanks

[@TabsSalom]

Dude, ur awesome! like how u explain with much detail of everything u do... great job, man!

[@Nativesurvival]

thanks appreciate it

[@Pakkerotten]

Bro what you do is an an art!! greetings from Denmark, and alot of broken feather sticks

[@Nativesurvival]

Thanks man appreciate it

[@aktrapper6126]

This is the skill that won you the first fire in Alone. Great tutorial on feather sticks Mitch...you got it down.

[@Nativesurvival]

thanks appreciate it, sure is.

[@thatpodcastchap]

This was great - thanks for all your videos - also a massive Lavuu fan - got three !!

[@Nativesurvival]

thanks appreciate it

[@thebachars]

seems so easy when you do it! thanks for a great video explaining it. Now I can go outside and give it a try!

[@booksofblood1896]

Awesome tutorial. Very informative and we'll explained. Thank you.

[@Nativesurvival]

thanks

[@woodstrider5]

Another skill to have in one's bag of tricks. Thanks.

[@Nativesurvival]

for sure

[@cloudsrain8753]

Very nice feathersticks. I will practice more with HD mora like you do. Very good vid on this one, thank you.

[@Nativesurvival]

thanks appreciate it

[@jericks06]

Such a beautiful job. Those curls are mouth-watering. Hadn't heard about using dead pine under branches. Whenever I have tried to make feather sticks before I had a hard time getting a lot of good curls and kept running into knots. Best video I have seen on feathersticks--you filled in a lot of the blanks I was missing in technique and questions I had. Thanks! Carving the bow side down really will help along with a sharp knife (just ordered a Mora Companion Heavy Duty) and will try it with another recently sharpened knife in my collection.

[@Nativesurvival]

thanks appreciate it

[@UziNineMillomeetah]

Great tutorial. Well done.

[@Nativesurvival]

thanks appreciate it

[@MetisBorn]

Great video, Mitch. Folks usually demo pretty puny feather sticks. Thanks for sharing!

[@loug4626]

Enjoyed your well done demonstration as was not conversant with feathersticks (until now), let alone the benefits of using pine and have just ordered a Mora Bushcraft black and will give it a go. Thankyou.

[@Nativesurvival]

thanks

[@philloyaknow]

Excellent fire stick and explanation, thanks very much and just subscribed 👍✌️

[@briargoatkilla]

I was on a hunt when you uploaded this, so I'm catchin' up on yer vids. Beautifully done. Can't beat a good old pine feather stick.

[@hashiramasenju4846]

Nice video and excellent technique! Thanks!

[@Nativesurvival]

thanks appreciate it

[@gustav1974]

Very educational video! Now I just want to get out and test. Thanks!

[@Nativesurvival]

thanks appreciate it

[@stan65ohio99]

Very good instructional the best I've ever seen

[@Nativesurvival]

thanks appreciate it

[@leethompson6070]

Great idea and follow through with the Pine. We can even do this where I live. Thank you very much. LT680 from Southwest Mo.

[@TheLionsDen72]

Very nice Mitch! I Luv these kind of vids. Thnx for sharing.....Scott

[@Nativesurvival]

Thanks Elmer, ya in my experience scandi has outperformed convex in feathering, the curve of the vex grind immediately before the edge gets in the way.

[@waredbear]

I just finished the first season of Alone. (I know I'm late) I was surprised nobody got fire started the first day. I knew you would go far since you were the first to get a fire started. Great job! I was sorry to hear about your mother. Thanks for the awesome video.

[@Nativesurvival]

thanks appreciate it

[@456lightning]

thanks for telling me a light touch i tried making one with a stick, a little damp but i put to much pressure on big mistake, this vid helped alot

[@Nativesurvival]

ya we got snow off and on since that point, theres 1 more step after painting and thats sealing, then its set! id like to get it done before the snow really hits, not sure if i will be able to

[@marycahill546]

Great detailed tips. Thank you!

[@Nativesurvival]

thanks appreciate it

[@slhaynes]

Great instructional video, thanks!

[@dylanadkins3491]

Ok this makes a lot of sense to me. I can make a decent featherstick but watching this made me realize that when I make them I just keep carving deeper and deeper into the wood instead of moving up the wood in order to get more feathers. Very helpful.

[@patrickaherne1274]

You are a god at making feather sticks

[@Nativesurvival]

haha thanks

[@PeteWMCD]

excellent presentation enjoyed the watch

[@yawara600]

Good video and thanks for the tips,off to the woods today and will give this a go :)

[@snaponjohn100]

Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing. God bless. John

[@mynineridesshotgun]

Good job with the instruction on this one, Mitch. I'm a big fan of the same technique. -Chris

[@ScottsUtubeWorld]

Can't wait for the weekend to try out what I just learned from you! It's interesting how you didn't protect the wood from the rain. I won't be so protective from now on. Great video! Thanks for posting.

[@Nativesurvival]

cool thanks

[@busycando]

Fantastic....well done!!! Thanks for showing!!!

I didn't know you could make a fire in the rain, cool 😁

[@Nativesurvival]

sure can

[@Nativesurvival]

Yes, i just practiced feather sticks until i was happy with the result and made note of varying factors that increased their quality. What made you ask?

[@tomchen6346]

I tried, I failed, finally, I realized there should be a very sharp knife to do this job.

[@Nativesurvival]

yup

[@joed5098]

Excellent video, sir! Learning some skills here and you really taught it well. Exactly what I was hoping for in a video lesson. Well done!
