It's wood but extra flammable... typically gathered for outdoorsy life such as wilderness survival practice, camping, hunting & fishing; pretty much anywhere you start a small fire pit. Think of it as a luxury item for starting fires. Not necessary, but very nice to have.

Good information and the location really does matter when looking for fat wood. Here in Florida I locate a dead Pine ( Or Stump ) that has lost most or all of the soft wood. Only the heart or fat wood is remaining , outside color is usually gray. Chip off a piece of the gray color and it should be dark amber and smells like a bucket of turpentine. The easy way to cut it is with a saw. I like to saw off pieces about 2 inches long. At home I split them till I get a bag full of match size pieces. Old pine logging areas are great places to find it.

I got another use for it. With the right fatwood, you can use a little water and boil the turpentine out of it. Then add sugar to it, and eat it. The ratio is 1 table spoon of turpentine to three table spoons of sugar. It kills parasites. You will wan to do it a few time over a period of days. It works better than eating a half cigarette.

I’ve known what Fatwood is my whole life but never called it that. I also never knew about finding it in limbs like this. Growing up we heated with wood and dad knew how to find an old tree trunk that was down and get what we called LIGHTER. Lol. Anyway, after watching this video I went into my South Carolina back yard and the first limb I pick gets me a fire with a spoon full of shavings and my ferro rod. Never in my 56 years have I made fire without matches or lighters. Thank you for this video

Fatwood is like cheating in fire making. I have found boxes of it in limbs of pine trees, but a lot of people say to look for a stump. I have never found it in a stump though. I saw it off so I do not lose any from chopping/breaking, plus sawing is easier. Thanks for a great video.

I found the best fatwood in Oklahoma, down in the roots of a pine that broke in a storm. Very dense. I had a handle made of one of the roots for a cleaver. I used a saw as well because it was so dense with resin. My buddy and I hauled out a lifetime supply in one afternoon. Good quality fatwood has visible curling wisps of black soot and visible rendering of the resin.

In Florida it’s referred to as lighter knot and Mr. Simmons is correct you can find it usually in large amounts in the root system of an old stump. Typically you will not see it on the surface of a stump.

While you're obviously memeing, In case you're actually wondering: Evergreen refers to trees (and other plants) which have foliage that remains green (and thus functional) throughout more than one growing season. So it's just a term for a type of tree and has nothing at all to do with how lively said tree is.

We call it lighter pine in NW Louisiana. It’s a staple anytime I’m in the woods. If you want the real good stuff look for a downed pine tree that’s been there at least a year and knock all the rotted wood from the stump. It will burn in any weather conditions. Literally a lifesaver.

Hurricane Katrina knocked down a large yellow pine on the back of my property in 2005. The main trunk was suspended off the ground about 3 feet. I cut the tree down, but left about 12 feet of the trunk, just hovering there. Last month, I finally got around to cutting up the remainder. It was pure fatwood (or fat lighter). I cut it up into foot-long rounds and set up about 3 of them in a fire pit. Those things burned for hours, all night long. Deep, orange flames (and black smoke). The heat was pretty intense, too.

It was the size of a stave but i cut it in half and threw it in the fire and it really went up in flames, i looked at the smaller piece and saw the fat wood. I mean im a beginner but i know it was some sort of resin. I honestly felt like a caveman discovering fire for a second lol.

Another important piece of info he left out for simplicity: The resin heals broken branches. If you see a pine with broken of branches, there will be extra resin there. The tree rushes the resin into the broken branches near the trunk, even when the tree is still living... The resin seals the wood and keeps the rot out of the trunk. Usual it extends 4 to 6 inches thru the broken branch from the trunk

Maybe... but be aware there's almost definitely going to be hair and skin oils in it, which smell like hell itself when burned. Plus, depending on the person, that lint might be >50% plastic, in which case it's going to be a smelly, toxic problem. I think you'd get better results with a couple coffee filters, or some cheesecloth, or some untreated paper scrap. Or bathroom cotton balls!

@@Queer_Nerd_For_Human_Justice Wash your dryer lint, i am serious. Wash it then let it dry back out, washes the skin oils out of it, the plastic bits float, so you can scoop them out. Once dry, get some tallow, beef, venison, doesnt matter, render it down. Put a layer of the dryer lint in the bottom of an old cupcake tin, about 1/4 inch (or around 5mm for you Metric Heathens) of the dryer lint is fine. put about double that in fatwood shavings on top. pour the tallow until it JUST BARELY covers the fatwood shavings. For extra use, get some oil lantern wick, cut it into 1 inch (2.5cm) segments and settle it into the center of the pile, before adding the tallow. For a non-urban variation, find a dead birch tree, shave the soft wood into a fine powder. If its a little rotten, this is fine, dry it out, and crumble it so it looks like sawdust. Use this in place of the lint. for a more portable 'pocket lighter' version get a mentos tin, fill it with a well mixed combination of fatwood shavings, and tallow, using the lint/birch powder as a flour to line the edges. the 'starter candles' are something my Tribe came up with a long ass time ago, largely to help the idiot settlers not die in the winter. You let it burn until the fire is started. when the wick is finished off, you can then use the fatwood and tallow block as a base for a final fire.

Just some additional info: I was taught to look for tree stumps with lots of "fingers" of wood sticking up from the break in the trunk. The fingers are the areas of wood that have been preserved by the resin while the rest of the tree has rotted away. You can break the fingers pretty easily, they snap right off and there's about a 50% chance that a dead tree found like this has a bunch of fatwood. For context, I live on the Oregon coast where plant life rots to mulch almost immediately after dying. So maybe if you live in a very wet area you could use my tip. Also, thank you Coalcracker Bushcraft. I did not know how to find fatwood any other way than what I described here. My way is very reliable, but I always like to learn new or different ways of doing things.
