The Feather Stick Fire.

I made a fire where I did not use any tinder. I used feather sticks right away.

[@cmargheimable]

I really appreciate this video because so many are focused on creating the finest curls possible. I find it far more realistic and less time consuming to use thicker curls , Especially when the temperature drops and my dexterity weakens.

[@dcox01]

Camp fires are always so cool to sit and watch. Your feather sticks look better then mine. I'm going to have to practice more. Great video.

[@Stonewallx39]

I like the technique of placing a piece of wood to lean the "tipi" against. It looks like it makes the early fire very sturdy.

[@NorthSurvival]

Yes it does, and gives it much air.

[@joelevangelist6069]

I would have liked to see you start the fire with a bow or even a striker so other people can be learn how to start a fire from scratch. Other than that it's a great video. love the feathering job too. I was looking for a video of that technique to show a friend as I am not out in the woods to do it myself. Well done.

[@NorthSurvival]

That is very true my friend, it's all about how well you have prepared yourself, whether you make a fire or build a shelter you have to be prepare with both knowledge and materials. /NS.

[@MisterAnthropist]

Well done. Straight to the stuff with no bs. Awesome vid.

[@NorthSurvival]

+MisterAnthropist Thanks a lot.

[@aLxOutdoor]

Its a bit challenging to build up the fire only with feather stick. Very nice video! Greetings! Alex.

[@NorthSurvival]

This was far from hard batoning and the wood was pine which is a softwood, and the pieces were completely knot-free, there was no possible risk of destroying the knife. But I understand what you mean and if I were in a survival situation I would think twice before I did this. /NS.

[@NorthSurvival]

No, I did not use a firesteel in this video, but check out the video "Fire In A Thunderstorm", in that video i show a good way to light a fire with a firesteel. Thanks for watching. /NS.

[@NorthSurvival]

Thank you very much for the sub, i am glad you liked it, and feather sticks are a great way to light a fire. /NS.

[@NorthSurvival]

I got it from a store here in Sweden. I don´t know what it is called.

[@NorthSurvival]

Thanks, It does not matter if you do them fast or slow as long as they become good. /NS.

[@NorthSurvival]

Wetterling Swedish forest axe, check out the video "Wetterlings axe work" on my channel.

[@robertcorbell1006]

[@NorthSurvival]

Thank you. Yes.

[@NorthSurvival]

That was fun to hear, i hope you will enjoy it. Thanks. /NS.

[@NorthSurvival]

Thanks, yes i will if someone would like to see a video like that. /NS.

[@albertjones4803]

[@ClashBluelight]

NorthSurvival "what axe is that?" "I don´t know what it was called, but it was cheap." "What knife is that?" "Mora 2000." What you racist against axes or sumthin!!! lol!

[@haydenswears9744]

your videos are so interesting. I could sit here and watch them for hours. thanks

[@NorthSurvival]

Isn't that the expensive mora knife? /NS.

[@NorthSurvival]

Thanks.

[@NorthSurvival]

Camp fires are very relaxing to just sit and watch, it can be difficult at first when you start making them but it gets easier when you get further into the wood. /NS.

[@NorthSurvival]

I agree, have a great sunday. /NS.

[@urhomeboy1]

In a survival situation, what is your favorite knife. By the way, great videos. Keep up the good work

[@NorthSurvival]

I agree.

[@NorthSurvival]

Pine.

[@NorthSurvival]

[@BeardedBushman71]

Cool, but science fiction in my area: 90% of holm oak, which is axe-proof!

[@NorthSurvival]

Thank you my friend.

[@NorthSurvival]

Thank you, feather sticks are great. /NS.

[@drfreebird777]

Could you please tell me the brand and model of knife? I am considered buying a moraniv bushcraft knife to do simple feathersticking and batoning? Any thoughts on a solid knife to do what you do here (I am hoping to stay below $100)

[@beastturd57]

the Mora is a really good knife. especially the 2000

[@NorthSurvival]

I am from the north of Sweden.

[@dodycemers]

Sweet vid

[@SpartanJohns]

the 5 p's...propper preparation prevents poor performance! good stuff!

[@ShesBeyondBeauty]

Two questions. 1. How many hours can that fire last to? 2. When the fire dies down, do you repeat the same exact steps?

[@NorthSurvival]

It can last for as long as you have firewood, no, just put more wood on.

[@mrbluenun]

ShesBeyondBeauty As is said just add more wood. But one thing you can do is put the ends of one or two logs on the fire when it has plenty of red hot ‘coals’, and then when that part is burnt move the loge in a little more. This saves having to prepare so much wood, and in the half or whole log, and here I am talking of a log of maybe 10 cm thick, the wood will burn slower so is ideal to use when camping at night where you might want to build the fire up a little but in a way that it does not flare up and burn too quickly as you will be asleep! Take care mrbluenun

[@marcusson1983]

Steady mora 200 eh? I dunno why i still keep eye of this knoife even though I already own two slightly different companions. Nice Sunday man

[@DiloBranco]

Ola Boa Tarde me chamo Danilo Branco sou de São Paulo Brasil e gostaria de saber de você como construir uma casa usando apenas o que se tem na selva.Abraço. Namastê!

[@DanielCraigRobinson]

Nice on NS, simple and enjoyable. Feather sticks are a brilliant way of getting fire started and in certain situations they can be invaluable. its a great skill to have and looks like you've got it nailed! Sweet mate!

[@JGilly-cp1tk]

Wish I could do this myself live in the outdoors wooden home go out and catch and hunt for food cook over a fire the lot if only someone could point me to the right direction tbh

[@fluffybunny12351]

This is a dangerous set up..... while burning, the wood can collapse and send burning embers and light your surroundings on fire....

[@aLxOutdoor]

Thank you! It helps. Cheers! Alex.

[@iloveyoohtaco]

What kind of wood is that?

[@MacDonaldSeumas]

I want to get a mora knife, but I don't know where they're sold in East Anglia (preferably Suffolk). Can anyone help me?

[@voice-of-wolf]

To be honest, I see no problem in making fire with matches. At least, until the wood is not wet.

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

Who cares what you use or how you light the fire, as long as it gets lit and is maintained for as long as it's needed.

[@NorthSurvival]

Yes, i agree. /NS.

[@gbbhawaii8040]

Can you make the same thing but with a fire steel

[@pedestrian0101]

i love feather sticks but alas, the pine in my area doesn't like to cooperate. great vid though!

[@NorthSurvival]

Thank you, haha yea. /NS.

[@rebekahrose1664]

how long did it burn?

[@NygaardBushcraft]

well done brother, just like I would have done it. Thumbs up from Nygaard Bushcraft.

[@wallybanner512]

learned like 19 different things from just this video

[@NorthSurvival]

Haha okey, i understand.
