■Manufacturer's description quoted.
Survival, bushcraft, camping, BBQ.
In any outdoor situation, 'fire-starting' is one of the basic skills.
The 'Tinderwood' is recommended for those who start a fire without using an ignition agent.

'A natural ignitor, still cut from the 'natural pine tree'.
Only the part of the tree that contains a large amount of pine resin is cut out. In Japan, it is called 'hidematsu (Kanto)', 'koematsu (Kansai)', 'abura-matsu (Tohoku)', etc. Although it is no longer used, it seems to have a long history.
It is synonymous with 'torch' and was often used as an actual outdoor light.

This tinderwood. Some solids have an amethyst colour when exposed to light.
It contains so much pine resin.

When igniting firesteel alone, a 'ritual' is of course required to make it into a feather stick or similar.
Even if you use a lighter or matches, feather sticks are easier to ignite if the wind is a factor.

There are no rules on the shape of feathersticks.

Keep in mind that...
...as thin as possible.
...to avoid falling out of trees as much as possible.

These are two tips for a well-made feather stick.
Making different feathers is another fun time.

'The characteristic good smell of pine needles ...'

Enjoying the scent of the forest ...

It may be a good idea to create a feather stick creation in a relaxed atmosphere.
