Making a Feather Stick for Fire Lighting

A feather stick is a very useful way to get your fire going when camping, hiking, or even your back yard fire pit or indoor fireplace. In this video we demonstrate one method of creating a feather stick or fuzz stick and then show how easy it is to light.

If you were going to use an excellerant, like a gas powered lighter, what was the point of making a feather stick :/ you basically said "Here is how to make bushcraft." Then tossed gasoline on top of it....very incongruous demonstration.

@nextexhale yea ist possible, but only if you make the last ones very fine, and its alot easier with some "softer" wood like willow or cedar.

Can this type of stick be lit by sparks from a fire steel?
