[@daemonharper3928]

Making feather sticks should be mandatory fireside bushcraft labour.....always useful and practice makes perfect.

[@warlock.420]

Man I have mad respect for you and your channel, you not only know what you're doing but give alternatives to your products for people who can't afford them. Bc of this I'll be buying some of your products in the next few months. Appreciate everything you do to help us all be prepared to enjoy camping and in worst cases survive being lost. Thank you.

[@crazynok5511]

Another good one.

[@yukonsmomma3562]

I need to take time to practice my fire making skills. Thanks for the reminder Dan.

[@Seamus3051]

Mr. Dan, you are truly a master of your craft. Sincere appreciation for your generosity in sharing your encyclopedic bushcraft knowledge with us. Stay well, safe & solvent .. Cheers.

[@scottcarter4388]

Thanks Dan you just reminded me that I haven't practiced my fire making skills in a while especially feather stick or any method of fire starting. THANKS FOR THE REMINDER!

[@mikesmith1679]

Dan you rock! Short, sweet, and to the point.

[@marclucier2533]

Awesome tip. Love you’re content !

[@davidl.39]

Man I have been looking for tour videos. Keep up the great work.

[@dannyhorn719]

You the man Dan.

[@terryqueen3233]

Good job Dan. That's a great tool for the toolbox. As you know though they must practice to get as good as you. Thanks for the video Dan these guys need it. Stay vigilant

[@zoltanvonsomogyi7272]

I saw this posted on a forum a couple of months ago by someone else, and it's a good idea. You can also use this trick for any tinder. Just lay your Ferro Rod against a stick as shown above, pin your tinder down with that stick, and strike away! That's how I do it, anyway.

[@rnealmcgough]

Excellent skill to practice. Cool new intro, at least the first time I've seen it.

[@corleyoutdoors2887]

Excellent tip!👍🔥

[@JensLuetke]

Ohhh yes. Tomorrow I will try it out 😜🤙🏽 and stay in the woods 💪🏽😉

[@TheVonhollan]

look's like you have not shaved in months. Love the info ben watching you Dan, since the townsends days.

[@kravist518]

White Handle Gold Liner fire lighting instructions right here 😁

[@BASurvival]

This is my favourite way of lighting as it doesn’t matter if everything is wet or you can’t find small tinder, you can creat it 🔥👍

[@darrenlowry7477]

I like this method a lot for fire.

[@johnwilliams8654]

Great tip! One of those little tricks that isn't that hard, but you might not think of it, and it makes your fire starting much easier.

[@miiklaa]

Informative vid. What’s that good looking multitool?

[@blackwillowbushcraft5632]

Was just thinking about,missing your vids and this one popped up...true story 👍. But I know how busy you are making and coming out with new gear. Great tip and another tool for the tool box indeed. I prefer shavings as well. The beginning was great 😂. Hope to be at some of those 2023 classes and can't wait for more awesome gear at Coalcracker Bushcraft to come out. Another awesome video as always brother 💪👍

[@stevenkeithley4336]

Great video bud 👍,keep`em coming. Stay safe and be well brother. Strength and Honor... 👊 🤙 🍻

[@beantownbushcraft]

[@mrkultra1655]

Thanks Dan

[@cuddlegrammie8041]

Love Knowledge !! Thanks 😃

[@Kenbur]

FIRE!!!! lots of tools for the toolbox.

[@Micky-74-v6f]

hi Dan, I recently had an epiphany! I was sharpening a pencil with a regular pencil sharpener, and figured the shavings looked like decent tinder. so I sharpened a twig and it worked and also figured the twig could double as a tent peg maybe.. anyway I found out on KZbin that I didn't invent this idea. But I didn't see a coalcracker version? wondered if you heard of that?

[@MasterYoist]

I'm a retired teacher. I used to collect pencil sharpener shavings and stored them in tin cans for the proverbial "rainy day."

[@BoxcutterBushcraft]

I have always carried a magnesium pencil sharpener in my kit. It pulls double duty, because I can also scrape the magnesium from the sharpener and it burns HOT.

[@Hemp1972]

I'm gonna get parrotfood and on the way in the woods I'll smoke a reefer and practice making feather sticks. I learn so much!

[@cillaloves2fish688]

Thx Dan!

[@frikkiesmit327]

It also helps if you had your fire and it turned to coals and you want flames again. Then just add featers again and Whhoom!. Might just need to blow little bit of air . Did it couple of nights ago as i wanted to just chill and watch the flames

[@PuppetMaster8707]

I just wanted to say Susan is the best definitely leaving a good Google review

[@Crafty.Veteran.Survival]

💪🔥

[@troybranaman316]

Thank you for the video Dan. I haven't thought of doing that but will practice it today ! Great informative video as always Dan! Take care and stay safe my friend !!!

[@donnaroberts164]

Excellent!!

[@ryancoleman3816]

Never saw anyone do that before. Nice trick!

[@stevestumpy6873]

🔥🔥🔥

[@beanrunnerWA]

New fingers tattoos? Sweeet!

[@thomasnugent3836]

Very good. Thank you very much

[@metted2745]

Cool tip! I feel dumb though 😂.

[@pnyarrow]

Brilliant!

[@northeastoutdooradventures3787]

Freaking awesome!!!!!😁😁😁😁😁

[@jeromeknasinski3862]

Good job

[@FERALDOG4]

I’m a shavings guy myself. Feather sticks are cool but I don’t always need em. Some Fatwood shavings is one of the best!!!!

[@scooterfpv8864]

👍👍Too easy!!! Love It!!!

[@Tavarunya]

So cool ❤ Thank you Dan very much for this tip :)

[@freddyoutdoors]

Really cool stuff cheers dude

[@david6920-r6z]

Good demo thanks

[@richardsplker303]

Nice

[@allanf4756]

Love it 👍🏼👍🏼

[@charlesmckinney]

What brand ferro rod were you using? Impressive.

[@earlshaner4441]

Remember everyone when building a fire in the rain work smarter not harder

[@frikkiesmit327]

Yep. Like using fatwood

[@earlshaner4441]

Building a fire in the mud or on the water

[@jasongarling20]

Hey, great demo. Bu chief of dumasses

[@r3tri3ution_z3nith_point_z6]

GG Dan.

[@earlshaner4441]

How are you doing my friend?

[@Christopherjamesmurphy21]

I was just about to say when you see those big beautiful feather sticks on IG its likely the loose shavings added in. Then you mentioned it. Point is, dont get discouraged with feather sticks. None of them are perfect

[@bltoth1955]

Hey Boss, you ever light a fire with a Sparkler?

[@andrewshepersky8704]

Save "fall off shavings" to dry out better..for next tinder fire stash

[@JD-gn6du]

Try as I may, I find that even with the sharpest of knives and I’ve spent a lot of time trying… the various types of wood in my region don’t produce all that well with feather sticks.

[@joegiotta7580]

Why does nobody ever mention the stationary knife method? If you keep your knife/scraper stationary where you want the sparks to land, and then pull your ferro-rod back against it, your sparks will stay in the exact spot you want them throughout the entire pull.

[@averagecamper4265]

Shavings all the way

[@centerofgravityservices5284]

I'm legally blind. How do you get them that small without shaving them off? I lose so many shavings from lost shavings.

[@wesvan6]

What’s going on with the Coalcracker Gear channel?

[@bruceallen6016]

Hah! Makes sense.

[@johneaton3839]

Hey Dan you will get a kick outa this LL beany just called to inform me that with out a proof of purchase they won’t fix my boots they were a gift I never thought to ask my friend for the sales receipt oops silly me thanks LL beany for nothing and wait here’s the punchline ready bro my dad was born on little deer isle Maine anyway as always dan love what you do stay in the woods

[@SonsOfLorgar]

Praise Z0rG!

[@The_Eastbound_Hyena]

"Feather stick" please. There's not one person who needs another "wand" in life.

[@dlighted8861]

Nah I call B.S..😶 If you were into shaving you wouldn't have that beard. 🤗😁🤗 Seriously though and just to tell you I thought you were somehow drying those coals in the campfire pit with all those sparks going on. 🤗
