Pine Trees Are Edible & Very Useful

[@comeandtakeit_bushcraft5705]

Woke up with a sore throat yesterday morning, went out to my yard harvested enough white pine needles for a gallon of tea drank that all day long and woke up this morning completely cured of all ailments. True story.

[@CavemanCody]

During flu season I will often drink pine tea and yarrow tea every few days before bed.

Given the time and place we are in with rising food costs and the government saying we are headed towards famine... everyone in America needs to see this video. We need to learn to think outside of supermarket box. Thank you for this video. This video is freaking amazing.

[@jojow8416]

THANK YOU Cody for this extremely informative video. What you are sharing might come to be something that all people will need to know in order to survival. People laugh at statements such as mine, but even if this isn't the case, everything we find that survives in nature has so much more nutritional and health benefits than anything in the grocery store. Keep sharing and God bless you for spending your precious time to enlighten us.

I never realized until recently just how expensive pine nuts are until a recipe called for them. They are CRAZY expensive! It was interesting to read about why that was. They are so damn delicious though - for whatever reason I never made the connection that they were from pine trees until I went to do that research ha ha. Silly I know.

[@soxpeewee]

You like the taste of pine nuts? You can use the inner cambium of a pine tree dry it and chop it up very fine and it's pretty similar to pine nuts but not really the same texture not as oily. Keep in mind unless you know how to window a pine tree if you remove the inner cambium you're probably going to kill the tree.

[@katysuemarfil2148]

Same lol 😂

Very Informative. Thank you! This should have 100 times the amount of views

I'm not sure if you know this but if your gonna eat the inner bark, don't make it wider than a third of the tree. Otherwise your killing all the veins going up the tree

Awesome! I make a Pine Gum soap, and a Pine Tar soap. Extraordinary lather and very medicinal.

[@janicecrowell1537]

My daughter makes soap. How would you add pine gum?

[@SoapAcademy]

@@janicecrowell1537 Working with it is kinda tricky, but you could add it to the warm oils to melt it, then do your mix as you normally would. It will seize very fast, so you need to be quick. :)

[@JaniceCrowell]

@@SoapAcademy do you have to calculate the weight of it as part of your oils? I only have very basic soap making knowledge from a couple of videos and watching my daughter make a batch.

[@SoapAcademy]

@@JaniceCrowell Hi Janice. I guess that would depend on how much you are adding. I don't calculate it as part of my fats. I just add it in as an additive super fatting the soap even more. If it were to make up more than 10% of the fats maybe I would tweak the formula a bit.

One video and subd. Now binge watching. Thank you for sharing your information Cody

[@soxpeewee]

Yew, Norfolk island pine, ponderosa, are the three most common tree species that people mistake for edible pine when in doubt don't eat it. It's also a good idea to soak the pine cone or pine needles first before consuming them and discard the water so that any pesticides bacteria or funguses are less likely to be on the item you're eating.

[@thadthornton4349]

Pine sap very good fire starter even in the pouring rain build a shelter for your fire in that case pine branches make good bedding when you build a shelter ,,,make signal fire green pine branches make a lot of smoke.

Nice vidoes about edible vegetation. Keep it up! Love the description. Facts are very good. If you did a whole series of edible vegetation im sure you would get tons of hits. Especially right now in these times when people are missing resources and food shortages.

[@CavemanCody]

Plausibly. I think it is useful given some areas are experiencing food supply shortages. But I'm a fairly small channel in the grand scheme of things. If I help just one person then it was a successful video.

[@CavemanCody]

@Julie Buhite my best video has over 850k views. I do not know where who or how that one jumped like it did but it is solely responsible a lot of new subscribers. Most of my videos average 500 to 1k views with the ones I make on more popular subject branding 1500 to 4k. I've figured out that there is such thing as "cool" survival. Something a lot more people are gonna click on so they can show off to their friends on the next hiking or camping trip. According to my analytics this holds true as my not as cool videos such as certain plant identification or signal and rescue tactics are commonly blown off. It is what it is but its fascinating to watch. I put the time and money into producing them anyway cause they are important.

[@CavemanCody]

@Julie Buhite I try to produce what others dont. I had a hard time with identification videos because of shaky video not enough close ups or something of the like. So I try to incorporate more of that

[@CavemanCody]

@Julie Buhite I have a array of video ideas from basic to not so basic. But some of my dreams ones will just require a lot of pieces to fall in place at once. Real world stuff like a house fire or getting stuck in a rip current

So we have to harvest many pine trees because they will be falling down on our house. I want to know, is the wood good for biochar in the soil. From the book by John Mc Phee about the pine barrens just outside of NYC, people did make charcoal from those pines. Are there any poison concerns? We have a tribe near us that uses whole trees in their compost. The EPA inspects it regularly for arsenic quantities. I would appreciate any resources that you can tell me about.

Pine flour to my taste buds was kind of sweet. I really enjoyed it. I also like to toast my pine nuts over the fire, but I’m not sure if it takes out some of the nutrients? lol sure tastes good though!

Thank You for the video. I do have a question tho. I heard you and some others say that Loblolly is edible, but if I Google that, there are a couple of sources that lists it with the yew tree and the ponderosa pines as ones to stay away from. Is this tru or a typo ?

Are you familiar with a study by a professor at Carnegie Mellon University? He says pine trees are bad for the environment.

[@treebeardtheent2200]

Ok I am liking this, but here's the thing - it may be easy to identify edible pines, but it's very very very easy to identify a pine/conifer tree wrong. To many millions upon millions of people, a tree is a tree is a tree. Distinguishing between a flat leaf that turns color in fall and an evergreen needle is about as far as many folks ever get. Just a dose if truthful honesty.

[@loriannwilde5018]

Learning local hazardous lookalikes first is helpful for this reason - it’s usually quite doable to learn the handful to avoid! Where I live, as long as you don’t mix pine up with yew (pine smell, downward-hanging cones, needles in bunches of 2-5 with papery sheath at base indicates you do have pine), it’s edible/drinkable. That said, I usually don’t feel fully comfortable ingesting until someone knowledgeable has confirmed my ID in person 😬 But I consume pine very often now that I’m confident it’s what I think it is!

Lots of self-proclaimed survival experts rave about "fatwood" which is simply seasoned heartwood from a resiny tree such as most pine.

Just 3oz of pine nuts contain 633 calories. But, if you eat too much of the bark, it can lead to severe dehydration. It's a short-term, supplemental survival food. Edible, but not a good main source of calories.
