- Here is my video on making feathersticks. I go through the basic steps of making feather sticks from using pine wood and demonstrate lighting the feathers using a ferro rod. I hope this video is useful to some of you :) take care!

Lucked onto your channel. So lovely to see a British woman bushcrafting. Subscribed. Best wishes from South Wales.
You are a beautiful teacher. Thank you very much for this class. I am going to show my brother what I have learned. I made two just following your demonstration today. Now I need to ask your mom to do a class on making a spatula lol.
Most comprehensive video I’ve seen on feather sticks yet.
Buster looks like he’s waiting for a “How to cook steak and bacon “ video :)
This old dog has learned a new trick. Love the knee hold technique. Many thanks.
Every aspect of this video exudes quality: information, videography; teaching approach...A 'real pro' tip was the value of different size feathers. Similarly, long and thick ferro rods make larger sparks and last longer. I watch a lot of these channels and I have never caught that tip before. TBS offers fine knives. Your viewers will not go wrong with them. Good safety information. Silver colloid bandages can seal deep wounds and might be considered as essential in a woodland camp medicine kit. On a personal note: I just received a custom walnut bow saw...even at 75, I felt like I did when I got my first hatchet for Christmas! WE DO LOVE OUR KNIVES! Scandi grind is not fine for all uses. Other grinds are so much better for skinning, slicing and the like. Anyway, I have a 'drawer full' of various knives of exceptional quality. Well, I cook seriously at home as well as going into the field.
Thank you for your lovely comment James, aha hope you get good use out of your bow saw!
Absolutely love this video. Thank you. 🇨🇦
I have been showing your videos to my grand children Caroline is thirteen and Eleanor is fourteen They usually ignore me accusing me of being a silly old idiot But when they watched your story they muttered grandad that is awesome! I maybe growing old but long before the days of social media I was a disc jockey on a pirate radio ship in the north sea You will find the history of the pirate radio ships on u tube I am just thankful to have lived during that time You are a earth angel I will always be your buddy even though I ain't got a dime
Thank you for your sweet comment, that is so lovely to hear :) take care
Fellow left hander here, love your videos.
Nice work! The mossy forest looks like a beautiful place to spend the day.
Very nice. Very informative. You pulled in a lot of extra experience not usually found in tutorials on feather sticks (wood species and the way they burn in addition to the way they cut for example).
Nice to see you again. From Turkey .
Girl Outdoors WTF have I just watched!!!!!
A young girl using an axe instead of batoning,absolutely brilliant.
Nice axe skills.
Next video axe throwing by Girl Outdoors 😊😊😊
Yes it was very nice to see,and she did handle that axe very well.
Mike, you ain't a-kiddin, the Beckster does have darned good batoning skills with an ax.
Waouw, the sun is shinning outside but also on my screen, really good review, explanations with the perfect tools (saw, axe, knife), here is a woman who respect her tools with efficience and she is not trying to cut a tree trunk with a knife...which is not made for that, sorry guys. Keep going mademoiselle! 👍👍👍
Outstanding demonstration on how to make feather sticks. Great teaching skills. Almost anyone will be able to make them after watching this video. Good Job Becky. Have a super wonderful day.
Thank you Moses, take care buddy
Awesome tutorial, I'm left-handed myself so I find your videos most helpful! Blessings from Pauline, S.C U.S.A. Y'all keep 'em straight over there!
There’s a lot of parents that would love you to run bushcraft courses for their kids. Like me they want their kids in the fresh air. Go for it!
Can teenagers stay for 6 months lol
i guess it is kinda off topic but does anyone know of a good site to watch newly released tv shows online?
@Kylo Ramon Flixportal :P
@Graham Will Thanks, I went there and it seems to work :) I really appreciate it!!
@Kylo Ramon Happy to help xD
And it is okay to thin out a forest. Trees are a renewable resource. Again, good job.
Great video for those beginners out there. If that doesn’t help them I don’t no what will!! Well done becky 👍🏕🔥😉
I always have trouble with feathers..Thank you for this information..I think it will help..lets give it a try.
Enjoyed it lassy. Very educational as usual. Cheers from Texas
Much better than the guys who have a million subscribers......I actually binge watched all your vids this weekend. You have come a long way in a short amount of time. The quality of your editing constantly improves, and your spoken additions improve each time as well.......keep it up. Include the Dog more,,,people really like that, and don't try to be too technical. That will come with experience.....Good luck, and come to the States when you can. The Rocky Mountains are calling you...............The Unacamper.
Thank you so much, hope you liked my videos. Take care
your dog i notice is a great help
Great skills Becky. And great learning video, for those who don't know about feather sticks.👍👍👍
Very nice instructional vlog!! Thanks Much! Learned lots!
Becky, would you please consider doing a Bushcraft wardrobe essentials video with your favorite pieces? Thank you!
Great tutorial, covers some very important things and stays on topic.
Thanks for sharing
I tell you all the time..GREAT JOB BECKS 🗽
thanks for the vid becky awesome stuff as always have a great rest of the week
Hey. You are so cool, very interesting video! Greetings from Russia!))
Gosh, Becky, I remember you at 145 subscribers. You have come a long way Miss. Best
great concise information as always Becky.
Beautiful Autumnal colours.
Simply and effektive. You are good!
Always nice information and videos from you Bec💙💙👍
very nice axe skills , you go go go , i like your vids , keep up the good work and most of all enjoy you outdoor adventures ,
One of the best videos I've seen on making Feather Sticks and I've seen loads! Keep up the good work.
HEY BECK , I FOR SEE YOU RUNNING YOUR OWN WILDERNESS PROGRAMS .
Good informative film. Your feathers are better than some I've seen by more 'experienced' bushcrafters. Keep it up, I love your down to earth style!
You have a good ability to tell how to do it, it actually like right after the book with all the tricks. I discovered the hardest thing was to steer the knife at the right angle, either nothing happens or it gets buried, but when you get a feel of it, it goes very well. Another good flame retardant is sawdust, if you put a piece of plastic underneath and pick it up when you saw firewood, it works well. There is also Buster, he never becomes a good bushcrafter every time there is teaching,
he turns his back to and sleeps, maybe with the exception when the subject is food. 😉
Thank you Benny for your comment, glad you are doing well. Have a great weekend :)
Another great informative video from my favorite bushcrafter. I’m at work and got the notification for this video and I actually took my lunch break early to watch lol, great job. You’ll have more subs than Dave Canterbury before long.
Aw thank you, thats well sweet. Ahaa that would be crazy
Great video Becky, i actually learned to feather with my hatchet first. I like how some words come out of you so slowly, like cold molasses,lol. Thanks for all the effort you put into your videos and your channel, it shows. Have a great day.
I'm just waiting it because I love to watch your UA-cam videos 😉
when I saw the video image, I told myself bekky will prepare us today ice cream..nice image
👍👍
You have learned so much about bushcrafting and it shows in the quality of the work you do all the time and I hope you go very far in life with those skills. I still say that you should complete high school and go to college or technical school, but that is your choice. I love the way you make feathersticks and the knife you are using seem to be wonderful for the job and I hope it give you a lifetime of great service.
Very well done Becky, I like the fact that you mentioned trying something that you observed with the other hand, its the sane thing but it is different. Keep up the good work, looking forward to your next update. Take care and stay safe.
great job Becky , it is nice to learn something i can try and use during my trips in the woods , be safe , be well , enjoy , hi buster , good dog ,
glad you mentioned the health and safety of using a knife. It is very important. I get very cautious with a knife from now on keeping an eye on my angles. I had a horrible experience with an axe in the woods and saw my bone. I had to make sure I did not panic and walked very fast to the nearest house. No one there so I had to walk back to my house. Very scary situation to be in cause I did not know how serious it was.
Good night from Arizona 🇺🇸😴
Yes Becky, repetition is the best teacher. If you don't use it you lose it.
BTW, I didn't realize there were any "public" forest areas left in Merry Olde England. You know what I mean, land and forest you can walk through and have the freedom to camp on.
This is private woodland :) cheers!
Excellent job Becky thank you! Please do more videos with Lou you guys are great together.
You look set for 30k by the end of October. Keep being awesome :)
Lovely video. And your t-shirt is awesome :) take care.
Always the best when it comes to skills❤️👏🏼
aw thanks man, hope you're well! x
Girl Outdoors always baby boo. Miss u alottt ❤️❤️❤️
This is a very useful skill to learn. You did a great job presenting this video; well done.
THANKS FOR THE TIPS BECKY, GOOD VLOG ,CLEAR SOUND TOO.
Howdy Becky!! Another most excellent video from the Magic Grasshopper :) This is likely one the very best feather making videos on UA-cam! I have seen most of them! You explain everything very well and do not leave out any safety tips especially the leg triangle and you include a short portion of how to use a hatchet for carving feathers. Nice! Getting to know your main knife is paramount. Scandi grinds cut deeper than Sabre grinds and full ground blades cut differently than all of them. As you pointed out, there is no substitute for practice with your chosen knife and different woods. Awesome! Sending love and hugs from the Cherokee National Forest...things are cooling off now! ~~~*^^*^^^~
well done girl,thanks for sharing
Great video little ladie!!👍👍
Beautiful video as always becky and some great tips here to. Awesome work
Thank you Ben, appreciate it:) take care
Girl Outdoors no worries at all, it’s always great to see you out doing what you love x
Just what I/we Needed!
GREAT JOB!!! An Excellent Tutorial on ALL the aspects needed to know:
What the Hell is Feathersticking & Fatwood? What wood do I use?
Everybody else Talks about.... But Never Explains!
Will be out this week Practicing these Skills with ESEE 6 w/Green G10...
Enjoying the Journey, Please keep 'em coming... Cheers from Ohio, USA
P.S. You do a Great Job in Music Selection, too! Very Enjoyable to Watch every Video!
Here's to 30k by 2021-01-01
Good job sweetie keep the vids coming.
Awesome job !! Great how to Becky ! I fine the mora hachet does extremely well at shaving and feathering. Was pretty happy to hear you mention choosing the wood is important. I know my Rat 5 likes maple wood and pine.
Great video Becky. I'm still learning do do my feather sticks.
I really love your enthusiasm.
Well done! Just a note: how you batoned the log with your hatchet for light applications is FINE. However, if you beat on the butt of a hatchet or ax in that manner, you can actually warp the eye of the head and cause the handle to come loose. Unless they are solid steel like an Estwing, it is ill advised for "heavy" applications. Great demo. Thanks.
Well done, good one, very informative, interesting and enjoyable video I enjoyed it, thanks beautiful Becky . . .👍🏼 happy camping ⛺️
Only found your channel today and this is a very informative video. I'm trying to pick up skills to teach my son as he's a very outdoors kinda lad.
Hello Becky, thank you for sharing this fine video. You have become quite skillful at wood processing. This was a great tutorial, awesome job. All the best to you and your family. 🤗
Awesome love the video new subscriber to your channel but really enjoy your content 👍
Great job on the tutorial!
This is a great video full of really good information on wood types and their uses and you’ve done a brilliant tutorial on how to make feather sticks. I really need to practice making them again because it’s an essential skill to have as you never know when you might really need it. You are far better than me for sure.
Well when I’ve had a crappy day at work it’s always great to get comfortable, put on my headphones and watch your videos. I could listen to you for hours and hours. Your videos are very informative and very relaxing to watch. Just the thing I need when I’m a little stressed from work.
I’m looking forward to your next one already.
Thanks for all your hard work producing your videos for us all to enjoy. I know it’s far more time consuming than people think.
Well until next time my friend, take care Becky x😁
"Fevver sticks", Surrey girl much? Luv the accent, makes me miss home as much as watching those green woodlands
haha too funny! Where you moved to instead?
@@GirlOutdoors LA, my folks still live in the Surrey Hills. It is such beautiful woodland there.
Great vid Girl... Your popularity as well as the channel is growing like a wild fire! I'm figuring 82,543 subs by end of the year!?! Best of luck with that and even more. Hello to the family for us also eah!?!
If you lock the arm, you use to feather, to your leg it helps with, chattering and locking your wrist you hold your knife with helps too .Great content God bless you and your family .. Lee
Great job!! Thank you for leveling me up here! I see a bunch of stuff I cant wait to try and teach my kids! Nicely done! Keep up the great work!!

I am very impressed with your knowledge and skill level. You're out doing men twice your age. Maybe the world isn't completely doomed after all. It's up to you to pull in the younger generation. And again your edge tool skills are excellent
Thank you Eric!
Great video 👍👍. Looks like you have that down pretty good. Knife looks nice!
great video! Love your accent!
It's good you explain everything if it was the end off the world I would want you on my team lol.
Thank you!
I've been able to create fire using a bow drill, hand drill, magnifying glass, ferro rod, fire piston, battery w/ 0000 steel wool even the highly polished bottom of a soda can having done that I never go go anywhere without 2 Bic lighters and a road flare in the BOB 😁
