  • In this short UA-cam video, Mors Kochanski shows how to make a proper featherstick. He also talks about the survival knife, lights a featherstick with a split paper match and a ferro rod.

    Watching and listening to Mors really helps solidify the knowledge learned from reading his book. I understand the reason for using the tip of the knife for feathersticks now. Thank you for sharing.

    I was lucky to attend a talk about knots Mors gave at Canoecopia. He impressed me so much with his matter of fact style, his obvious knowledge and experience that I have been watching his videos for more tips. All of the current crop of "survival Gurus" owe a debt of gratitude to this man.
    Mors is an "unconscience competent"..

    I think Mr. Kochanski. is at the point now where he can just look at a piece of wood and it falls to the forest floor in a pile of feather sticks

    Nice one. I still have my 1988 soft cover version of Northern Bushcraft at the front of the line for my outdoors books, great to have a channel where Mors can get up front and personal with his teachings. Probably the best $12.95 I ever spent on a book.

    Mors is awesome, I enjoyed his teaching at the 2015 course and picked up a lot of his bushcraft ways. But the last few year I have been trying to perfect feathersticks without much luck. Watched this video awhile ago and missed the details of it... I see I have been using the wrong wood and need something more like punkwood. Tried it after watching this and sure enough, it makes a huge difference. RIP Mors.

    Say Heah Mr. K, Yeah, Your right, you need a sharp knife. Watching your videos with eagle eye attention, I ordered a Skookum Bush Tool with a continuous curve. Mr. Garcia made mine perfect, A true Artist. But too, Most recently I ordered a new S. O. G. Pillar Fix Blade, It's a fine one TOO. Just a F. Y. I..,,. p

    Why does your knife have a hole in the blade?

    • @AndrewMansvelt
      @AndrewMansvelt 10 років тому

      It doesn't have a hole in the blade. But if you are referring too the holes in the handle, those are simply hollow rivets which are holding the handle on.

    • @MrThundermountainman
      @MrThundermountainman 10 років тому

      It has a hole near the tip, if you watch the video carefully you'll see it. Obviously the holes near the handle are for the handle. After research the hole near the blade is to stick a nail in and to pivot the knife for a shearing effect.

    • @AndrewMansvelt
      @AndrewMansvelt 10 років тому

      Okay, I just thought that was dirt or something! Thanks for sharing that info though, I've never seen that on a knife before.

    • @americanpatriot3667
      @americanpatriot3667 9 років тому

      It's a shearing whole to stick a nail in or something

    where was the wood he used in the demonstration manufactured? It's not magic, mother nature produces straight grained wood all the time. When the tree falls & lays there long enough, it becomes seasoned. Of course he chose the best for the demonstration. Anyone can find the ideal wood for this in the bush.
    (not being argumentative, just my opinion)
