  • Why is a mayasticks called mayasticks? where did the name come from?

  • They are handmade and really sharp. In a recent test they ended up sharper than surgical blades. The best you can buy!

  • Granfors Bruks? What do you like about your axe?

  • wow... i never though this is that special...i learn this long long ago... thanks

  • wath is so special of that wood

  • its very dry and it burns well

  • In Canada we call it Fatwood. never heard it called Maya wood before. Cool vid The Maya civilization was throughout Central America not only Mexico.

  • S.C. usa they call it fat lighter

  • it depends on where and whom from you learn it from.

  • @TheJax101 Same here in Ga. That stuff burns if you even look at it wrong lol.

  • Yeah and I have some REALLY great Maya Sticks for sell on Ebay!!!

  • Great video. I can't emphasize enough the importance of sourcing your own needs from nature rather than from the shop. Shop products take the craft out of bushcraft!

    Good work fella

  • i really like your videos, they are simple and you explain yourself well.

  • We call it fatwood here in the midwest.

  • Will any evergreen work, or is this unique to the fir?

  • I guess most evergreens will work. The fir has the quality that it rots from the outside the inside. The resin preserves the last parts of the three. When you find a stump shaped like that you know it's full with resin.

  • I live in Georgia, in a pine forest, so I can at least vouch for pine doing that. (Its called lighter down here)

  • Nice Gransfors-Bruks! I have one myself: best axes ever.

  • I have a woodslasher 5000 and it does everything automaticly ! :D

  • Maya wood orginally came from mexico, now its used as a comercial name for wood that easily combusts. TA DA!

  • What do you mean with it will make your fire catch flame much faster?

    How do you use those sticks?

    Whats the difference for example with making fire with firestones?

  • A Mayastick is full with resin. Therefore it will make your fire catch flame much faster.

  • a mayastick is used for making fire as it is good for catching sparks

  • What the fk is a Mayastick?...And what is it used for?

  • Down south we call this a fat-lighter stump. And yes, it does burn really well.
