Feather stick information


Feather stick ready to be ignited

A feather stick (sometimes referred to as a fuzz stick) is a length of wood which has been shaved to produce a cluster of thin curls protruding from the wood. It allows damp wood to be used to start a fire when dry tinder is hard to find.[1]

It is believed to be a traditional method of fire starting, using basic tools and methods.[1]
