Feathersticking

[milius2]

Hi,
I won a first place in feathersticking competition, that was organized by Lithuanian bushcraft site. I won a swiss army knife which is great Sorry but the subtitles are in lithuanian. If I had the original file I would translate it, but I've left it in old PC. Enjoy

It was a great experience feathersticks are quite a difficult to make and needs a lot of practice.

Nice one Milius!

Most impressive to me though was the "one strike" to get the charcloth ember with a flint and steel!

 

[milius2]

That was cool mate, I was very surprised how it fitted with the sound track. But last week, on a barbecue at my friends I caught spark ON SECOND strike, that truly was something else

My feathersticks are what I call "office bushcraft"........

 

[milius2]
