How do you not have a million followers by now?!?!? One of the most useful channels ever!

Felix is the kind of fella you want to hang out with. Seems like a genuine good guy. Take care buddy.

Willow bark is very strong, but what you taught us is inspirational and most practical. Brilliant! Felix, thank you so much for this video. *Hugs* Wendi

I bet you would be the best scout master ever!

Makes handy cordage. I've heard this called a withee. I have made it mostly from hazel, but also had success with young maple. I have been able to work through stiff parts where an offshoot branch comes out by using a smooth rock or a stick. I'll put the piece I'm working on a platform of flat wood or stone and gently tap the bark to break it loose from the inner fibers. This should be a common topic on bushcraft and survival channels, but nobody talks about it. Thanks for sharing it, Felix!

Natural handmade cordage, that's where it all started. Excellent video. Fun Friday with Felix. Thanks for all the Great info. Bravo

I have never seen a video of yours that was a waste of time... it's all very useful, and necessary for good purpose! This one addresses a very serious need for bushcrafters, and the information is both simple, yet very valuable. There are many bushcrafting channels that I subscribe to, but yours has LONG been (and continues to be!) my topmost favourite! Thank you for this! 🙂👍

I was always taught my my grandpa to smash the branches in between two rocks first to break up the bark, then twist. This is a great method that I've never seen!

Felix! You are the reason why I after about 25 years of using only a Leatherman, ordered myself a Victorinox!
You have SO many ingenious ideas and wonderful hacks🤩
Keep up the good work!

Der Bushcraft-Donnerbalken am Schluss des Videos war doch schon ein tolles Projekt mit dem Haselnussseil.

Probably the most important video on YouTube

Ja, es gibt viele Techniken und Naturmaterialien um sich eine Schnur, oder ein Seil zu machen. Ich gebe zu, auch hier habe ich wieder einiges dazu gelernt! Vielen Dank dafür lieber Felix!👍👍👍 Liebe Grüße aus Wels und ein schönes Wochenende!
