Oh

Oh

hey it's mitch in a survival today we're going to make some axe feather sticks stay tuned all right so got a couple pieces of pine I have that nice dip in it which makes the best feather sticks because you play can run right along the length of the stick rather than it being an arch and your blade ends up coming off all right this one why Brock axes and just to give a quick tip I just took an old wool sock put it over the handle it just goes all the way until it goes over the back of the head stays on nice and tight protects my handle from snow and rain things like that if it's sticking out of my bedroll or out of my rucksack anything like that all right so it doesn't matter the size of the acts that you use this axe is somewhere I think it's about 24 inch acts so basically ask andy for sacked by brooks and this is also another box this is the small four stacks both will work well for feather sticks of course it's just in how to use it so so I'm going to be building my fire so I like to meet my fellow sticks right next to that spot alright so there's a small four stacks now it's a lot easier monkey feathers off with an axe basically I'm just choking up on the handle right here I have two fingers along the head as you can see now you still rotate just like you deal with a knife how you go around the sides to get each crown because every time you cut you create a ridge I'm still you can see still going down them still creating some nice photos so let's create some more alright so there's some feathers going around the stick as i carve let the ax let's try another one okay so let's switch access now we're going to use the 24-inch grandpa's Brooks this is comparable to the Scandinavian four stacks so as you can see signs of the axe this being 24 inch axe it's completely irrelevant a little control of the axe head itself alright so see what we got these will definitely get the job done definitely great tinder in my opinion one of the best tinder is possible because it's so rarely available it's just made out of sticks combust very easily it can be ignited just with sparks from the fellow rod so that's huge and it's a great start to a fire a great accelerator to any small flame that you use so if you have a small flame created from birch bark using a fellow ought to ignite something and just have a small flame starting or match anything like that use feather sticks as your next tinder and it causes a flame to grow exponentially okay so as you can see an axe can definitely car fellow sticks previews conscience port see in the next one take care
