Fatwood for Beginners | How to Locate & Use it

[@NikosKatsikanis]

thanks for being honest, it’s a lot harder to find fat than most channel’s say

[@mountainbond1743]

You bet! I got really lucky with that piece! Thanks for watching 🤙

[@John5.56]

Yeah unless you live around a ton of pine or spruce it’s not as common as on the KZbin’s lol.

[@jimthomas1989]

I found over 700 pieces of Fat Wood in a spand of 6 months time ! I was bringing home 5 to 30 pieces home each day I went out !

[@Alejandro0__123]

@@jimthomas1989you had a good spot! That’s freaking awesome man, I dream of that.😂

[@chestpatch2012]

It depends on where you live. I can go for a walk in any random section of woods around me and find more fat wood than I will ever need. It's just so prevalent where I live

[@csh6220]

That piece of fatwood you wound up with could last 10 years or more, lighting a fire everyday. Use the scraper from your fero rod and get a little pile of "Maya Dust" the size of a quarter and hit it with a spark. Fire!! Brian from Survival on Purpose has been using the same piece of fatwood for about 10 years now, and still has some left. It lays on the ground in his backyard. The resin (Turpene) makes it waterproof. Thanks again. I enjoy your videos.

[@A-10goBRRRT]

amazing praying technique no wonder i've been having a hard time. you've gained a new sub

[@mountainbond1743]

Hahaha thank you!!!

[@HolyForeverAndAmen]

Great video, thank you! I've been struggling to find any decent fatwood, just 1/4" around branches but not saturated. I laughed way too hard at your praying technique, tried it myself today in a new spot and it worked!! Nothing like the monster you found but on the right track! Thanks man amd God bless you! ❤️🙏🏼

[@mountainbond1743]

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed this video and found it helpful. Sometimes you just gotta pray to the fatwood gods haha. I'm sure if you keep poking around you'll find one just as big if not bigger! Thanks for watching, and reaching out!! God bless!

[@puppiesarepower3682]

​​@@mountainbond1743 You prayed very much in the language of an Animal Crossing character. One could say you were speaking in tongue.

[@csh6220]

I used to use a hatchet, but after getting my Corona saw at Lowes I left the hatchet in the car. If you are not sure you have fatwood, just smell it. Fatwood smells just like Pinesol. Also, fatwood will not float in water. Sinks like a rock. But leave fatwood in water a week, take it out, and it will take a flame and burn right away. Amazing stuff, it is fun to find/harvest, and it is FREE! Thanks for a well done video.

Raised and work on a Sawmill, for 30 years, and didn't know this,,, Thank you.. Watch out Fat Wood,,, here I Come.

[@mountainbond1743]

Awesome! Thank you for watching 🤙 hope you find some good pieces

[@rintintinman9223]

@@mountainbond1743 I've got a really good eye for this kind of thing, I hunt, walking sticks, burls, and Spalted woods. I'll take time,, to find some "fat", but, don't care, just being alone in the bush is reward enough. May you continue to enjoy your bush, "boogies".

[@ShlisaShell]

Nice score! Beautiful chunk of golden goodness. Nice Corona saw. I see you hit 600, congrats. The fatwood Gods are proud. I enjoyed this. Gobble gobble. 🤘⚡💥🔥🔥🔥Keep it burning!

Thank you, thank you!! This piece is gonna last me a while haha. Thanks for checking out my channel!!!

Just starting my journey in bushcrafting and was wondering how to find this stuff! thanks for the video!

[@mountainbond1743]

That’s awesome, bushcraft is so cool!! Im glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching 🤙

[@johnnoble55]

Nice find sir. That stuff is gold to some of us. I understand the reverence, the smell, and overall enjoyment of finding it. Old stumps are good places to find fat wood as well.

[@sarmamanigor8978]

I love going to this forest close to the town where my grandparents live and all I ever found was a very small piece of it. Hopefully I will find some in the future.

[@beebob1279]

I've looked for fat wood where i live (not a lot of pine trees) and never found it. You re-sparked my interest in looking for it again

[@mountainbond1743]

I’m glad I can re-kindle your interest!! I hope you find some🤙 Thanks for watching and reaching out🙌

[@davewinch7677]

Here in Northwest Oregon, I look for old rotten Douglas fir stumps that the loggers left behind. The fatwood doesn't rot so it is easy to locate and harvest. The best fatwood is in the roots if you can get to them.

[@alanmanrick5593]

Duuuuuude. Good freakin job. That is an amazing piece.

Hahaha thank you!! It sure worked out well

[@ShlisaShell]

LOL Hell yeah! 🤘😂😂😂

[@geopolska]

I keep finding fatwood in pallets I sometimes have as a firewood, cutting them planks into short slabs and then shaving them with a hand plane set for thick shavings.

[@mountainbond1743]

Very nice!! I gotta try that out

[@sethmoking]

Is it only Pine trees or is it all/most evergreens?

[@mountainbond1743]

Great question! It seems that Pine trees in particular are the only ones where I've been able to find fatwood. Hope that helps🤙 and thanks for watching!!!

[@GrumpyVet71]

I've heard you can find it in some cedars and hardwoods.

[@LiveFree765]

@@GrumpyVet71 You definitely can find fatwood in cedar. The aroma of burning cedar is so pleasing.

I don’t think so haha

[@fernandsavoie6641]

Great vid! Thanks for sharing, I wish I would’ve seen it sooner. Was out this pm looking for resin wood, aka fat wood. I found a couple of small pieces off some dead pine tree but nothing like your monster piece! I’ll definitely do the fat wood God call next time I’m out in the woods. You got a new subie…

Beautiful chunk of gold! Best shavings by using the sharp edge of your knive's spine. I sharpen mine in a 90° angle to get a good scraper out of it.

Gonna use that prayer next time I head up for more pinon fatwood.

[@KrzysztofJarzębiński-l2k]

Once I've found a log that's 20 cm in diameter and 6m long. Me and my friend jaws just dropped. It was on small island on water reservoir. I've noticed lot of pine trees there have covered bark in resin.

Wow!!! That sounds like a life time supply! Hope to one day find one like that🙌 thanks for sharing and thanks for watching 🤙

[@glee0425]

Where I hunt there’s a bunch of pines that has a lot of dead branches at the base. I’ve been cutting them and collecting them. Spent 1 hour collecting fat wood instead of hunting. 😂

[@mountainbond1743]

Hahaha sounds like something I’d be doing too😂. Respect 💯

[@theyearwas1473]

I've never understood how people struggle to find this stuff. Look for some dead trees. Gravity based low points. Look for dead pine, spruce trees. Search for sap covered end, cut. Tah dah You can even make your own if you're patient want to wait a handful of years

[@NikosKatsikanis]

you found $100 worth of fat wood with that insane stick

[@mountainbond1743]

So crazy!! I got really lucky with that one!

[@livefreeordie9542]

You're missing the best fatwood, You gotta dig up the roots, they're full of pitch.

[@mountainbond1743]

I’ll be sure to get after the roots next time!

[@jakedaly4637]

It's not sap it's resin

[@mikebrittain6191]

Lol, "fresh". Fat wood is everywhere that there are evergreen trees growing. Most of what I use is Douglas fir. You don't really have to look for it with fir, it finds you. Start gathering firewood , then you get that dang pitch on you and the fat wood is close by.

[@Man_Cave]

I know my GF found mine. Just say'n.

I don't see the point of your comment, their video showed how to find fatwood and it showed how easy it is to start on fire. The video set out to do exactly what it was supposed to and people in this comment section clearly learned. Just cuz you from the hills doesn't mean you got to act like it bud.
