Obviously, it's location based. Here in the upper Mississippi valley, there are loads of coniferous trees for me to do this with. I carry a pencil sharpener in my fire kit to turn the twigs into shavings for tinder. But just last weekend, I was pulling handfuls of loose birch bark right from the side of the trail. Tinder is everywhere here, if you look for it. Top tip for those without the trees around, go to the local laundromat and look in the trash. All that dryer lint they are just throwing away is fabulous tinder.

Part of your observations are spot on but some are not. 1st, if someone is spending 100's of pounds/dollars annually on fatwood they are being horribly fleeced or they aren't using it correctly. At a nearby home improvement store I bought a 4lb bag for $6. That's 2 full years of woodstove lights for me. After assembling kindling, fatwood sticks (often split in smaller sizes) are used like super matches. No need for scraping or feathering. 2nd, take a look at the scene behind you around the 6min mark. Conifers love sun. There's very little green below the sun blocked canopy. When the lower branches are not getting sufficient light they die off and not necessarily due to fungal attacks and certainly not from damage due to heavy human traffic. You are absolutely correct about conifers healing process. When a branch dies, it pumps resin to seal itself, regardless of the reason for the loss. When the entire tree begins to die, the resin shrinks into the heart. I find it quite innovative and resourceful for those making/selling fatwood from old conifer stumps that would otherwise go to waste. Not everyone has easy access for any number of reasons. Take care and be well HVB. Soak in those phytoncides. 👍

Having camped since I was knee high to the proverbial grass hopper, I had no idea people paid for Fat-Wood??? Doh. Whenever and wherever I'm hiking when I see conifers, I see food and firewood; Saffron Milkcap often grow around pine and are a delicious mushroom, the Latin name is Lactarius Deliciosus which translates to delicious milk; if there are fallen trees I knock the small branches off the trunk with the back of my axe as these knots are always full of resin and burn 2-3 times brighter than ordinary wood. Clearly I know nothing in the world of commerce, but seem to do OK under canvas.

I found this video very interesting. Thank you so much. I'm just a female who knows nothing about this. Question.. can I just collect pine cones and fallen wood or dead branches from pine trees? Here in CONNECTICUT..WE have so many pine trees with sap. Also..do u need to dry it out..lastly do I need to bother carving bark off it wasting a good knife blade? I'm in the medical field. Basically what you said about the tree protecting itself from fungus or disease...basically resin/sap is like blood clotting in a wound. The clotting is the healing process but also..the phagocytes.... blood cells a part of your immune system...they attack anything alien ithats getting into a wound. And the wound heals by creating a mesh...I believevphagocytes red blood cells seal it up. That's why before surgery you cannot have aspirin. Asprin causes your blood to get thinner and u bleed out. Thicker blood has a blood clotting factor. So I totally get what your saying. Now if fungus has already gotten in..shoukd you throw that part out. I'm thinking about cooking foid over this wood. Can the fungus heat up or resin heat up and poison you? I'm assuming resin and sap are the same thing? If u heat that up the chemical compound can't get in your food? Thank you again. I'm learning alit from you. And also...is it best just to go to branches on the southern side where sun is and get it lower in stump? Thanks!

Thanks great vid. I still find it somewhat hard to find here in Ontario. It can be done but somewhat difficult. 2-3 year old blow downs are good. I find in places where there’s major coniferous destruction, whether it’s natural or unnatural. Another way is on your own property to get to know the trees on your property. We had a big white pine come down and I was just about to cut it up for firewood. But I noticed some serious fat wood forming, absolutely drenched. So I’ll leave that broken tree for a few more years and let the wood get completely saturated. Then harvest the fat wood and cut up the rest of the tree. Do you guys know if fat wood will dry up overtime? I mean if you take a piece of fat wood and leave it for five or 10 years in your house do the resins evaporate eventually, or does it have a good shelf life?

Yes, but this all implies that you have a location where you have permission to cut down trees and brush. Very few of us in the UK have that privilege, unfortunately. Is there any forest out there that is open to survivalists? Some place which is actively managed, where you can go in and a warden or ranger would give you an area where you can do some bushcraft (within reason - obviously it is not sustainable to have people cutting down trees willy nilly), and set up a camp with a fire? Is there anywhere in the UK where you can just go and wild camp with a camp fire?
