How to find and process fatwood 2022.

[@cellerfeller1474]

Good job on the video. As a retired Forest Ranger I have to add that I would never make a fire in the pine forest unless I had immediate access to a lot of water. If the burn layer sinks into the duff the fire can travel along the root system and smoulder for weeks before breaking out into a blaze. Remember the roots can have some of the highest concentration of resin. If you do make a fire you have to douse with lots of water than really dig your hands down into the duff layer under and around the fire lay to make sure there is no residual warmth al all - zero. After that you can rough up the top to disguise the ash and pour some more water just for good measure. When you leave hopefully it will look like you were never there.

[@frankvivone485]

my favorite place is the timber, I took a deep breath and could smell the pine, and the fermenting layer

My dad used to get fatwood from around his place in Northern California from the trunk of huge, dead pines. It's so pitchy, it lights in seconds from a lighter & roars up like a torch. He would bring or send boxfuls to us & we still have some. He has now moved here to Montana. I'm hoping to find some as good here. It's the best fire starter! We just make little kindling sticks & put that under our kindling in the woodstove. It gets even soggy wood burning fast

You can also find fatwood in , the root system of fallen pine trees.

[@user-gt5uu7ek5i]

Oh well I didn't think to use the fire lighter like that lol 🤦‍♀️🤣

[@JoeandAngie]

Buzzard, as in vulture? Not here in N America do they sound like that. In fact, they don't call at all...they hiss.

[@paulyates2548]

When if you dont have a pine tree what other tree will do

[@zoltanvonsomogyi7272]

That just didn't burn like Fatwood.

[@delfindaffy]

Try to just collect fatwood from dead trees....Avoid cutting any branches from living trees if it can be avoided...branches that seem dead on a tree, still play a role in that trees life and harmony....remember the trees are living beings...though very silent!!!!

[@lens7859]

OMG seriously

[@erlendhansen9246]

One thing thats sometimes possible is to find a selfdied standing pine, and when its a long time since it died, the roots/stumps are almost all thats left. When you find these roots preferable in areas that often becomes wet, you can dig it up with some branches. These roots can weigh many pounds and one good root can last for years. I have to of them in "my wood" and they are in natural dry places in the wood. When I go empty, I chop a chunk of, and I am good for months.

[@Americansikkunt]

Why?

[@gbltheolechurch5acrehomestead]

Good day NEW FRIEND! Pine is protected here in Newfoundland and Labrador Canada! Love to try some for my weekly Fire It Up Friday fires! Stay in touch my friend!

[@rmil007]

[@adammcguinness9950]

That’s some pretty average fatwood.
