2 weeks ago in the BWCA I used melted spruce resin to attach a broken silky saw blade to a stick. Cut a notch in a birch limb insterted the blade then wrapped it with paracord innards. Found an old can to melt some resin and poured it over the lashing and let it harden. Suprisingly it held up to cutting some wrist size limbs for a nice fire. Now i have a primative looking saw as a souvenir of my trip. Good video.

[@jamesdixon5714]

over the weekend, I used some sticky resin as a dressing for a small cut until I got home. I'm honestly in awe at how much good medicine, like this, is just right there if we know what to look for.

My grandfather would collect and use it on the hay bailer belts to keep them from slipping. Kind of like store bought belt dressing. Great video. Hoping to see that salve video. Thanks.

[@Sean-pc8zs]

I've bought "Pine Tar Soap" before too.

[@jackhastoomuchfreetime]

Incredible video! Thank you for the information, I'm going out later today to look!

[@sagesmokesurvival]

Awesome!

[@jackhastoomuchfreetime]

@@sagesmokesurvival I found some! Going to go back and collect it with a tin of some sorts tomorrow and figure out what I want to do with it

[@Sheffieldthegoat]

I’ve been cutting into some pine trees near my house to try and get some of the resin. It isn’t working much for me, I’ve tried cutting branches and the body.

[@Sheffieldthegoat]

I’m moving to Virginia soon so maybe it will work there

[@Interweb_Gremlin]

If I remember correctly, I think pine trees make more resin in the spring.

[@spudkidmandudebro]

So glad I found this channel!!!

[@paulz3381]

Are there any toxic resins to be worried about? Some conifers are more toxic then others when eaten so I am concerned if their resin is also toxic.

[@harrygrimley4352]

Great tips. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@marking-time-gardens]

Great information... thank you!

[@tiagomateiro]

This video is gold ✨️💪🏽

[@cipherzeroactual]

You can extract pitch from fat wood and still use the wood for tinder or charcoal (depending on how long it cooks). Very handy material.

[@AK-15MAG]

Another great video man keep it up 👍

[@drchilapastrosodrlasmacas438]

I made some salve the other day, i chewed some bees wax, mashed in some fresh resin, got the combo right, added some herb( some lichen i know to be anti bacterial) ❤ it was great, i scraped the thin skin of my foot on a stick

[@randallburgess6393]

Awesome!!!

[@YeahahWakand]

Bro this is an amazing channel. Keep it up!

[@timmy8808]

Videos are great

[@user-ft1xf8wk9m]

THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've never tried it, but I've heard that pine resin makes good chewing gum.

[@almostoily7541]

May I ask why you use deer poop instead of rabbit poo? You still have the rabbits? Just seems easier to harvest rabbit poop rather than looking for deer poop. Hubby is in the logging industry and he asks for the fat wood logs and stumps when he sees them laying in the woods. I'm not good at making fires and that is a huge help for me.

[@jaredboballen68]

Honestly, I knew all this, but I watched it anyway. Tons of useful info. Gotta say though, that the "l" in "salve" is absolutely silent. Just like "caulk".

[@Ollybus]

In the U.K. we sound the ‘l’ in salve but not in caulk.

[@jaredboballen68]

@@Ollybus That's awesome. The person in the video was not from the UK. In America, people who pronounce words like that are most often college graduates with no education... Jus sayin.

[@THEDOOD32]

​@@jaredboballen68brother. I pronounce the l's in both of those words. Thats how everyone around me does it and I've worked in the trades for nearly 8 years. I live in the pacific northwest and I'm guessing that's just how our accent works. Yours is different, so you pronounce it differently.

[@jaredboballen68]

@@THEDOOD32 I, too, grew up in the PNW, and still live/work here. The only people I have ever known who pronounce those letters came from way back east, and came out of college before they found manual labor more beneficial than a college degree. I've been in construction since I could hold both ends of a framing hammer off the ground at the same time, and I have worked in almost half of these United States and overseas in masonry, roofing, framing, concrete, truck driving, mechanics (cars, trucks, semis, heavy equipment, locomotives, ships), plumbing, sparktricity, etc., and met exactly 3 people who say those words incorrectly. You do you. I have NO problem with anyone who has a desire for creating anything with their hands. Maybe I'm just a grammar nazi. Guess it doesn't really matter anyway. Good chatting with you.

[@THEDOOD32]

@@jaredboballen68 Good chatting with you as well! Thank you for all your hard work throughout the years. God bless!

[@davidgraham2673]

Yet another interesting video. For once the algorithym steered me right! Good job.

[@lucasdemong5818]

I tried making a salve with a 1:2:2 ratio of resin:castor oil:beeswax and as it cooled, it seemed to separate to a jelly-like substance at the bottom and a waxy layer on top. Are my ratios off?

[@adcaptandumvulgus4252]

Scatt mixed in...I'll stick with ground tinder fibers. Also, gastric acid compromises lignin, yes?

[@therealitycollective9456]

What do you do about ticks?

[@Wf250]

do you have any ideas of a natural oil/ substance that can prevent rust on tools? is beeswax good? because eventually all of the wd40 will run out, what will we do then? thanks.

[@jackp492]

Wd 40 is silicone, it’s not scarce What metal tools are you gona have in a world where there’s no wd-40? Do you procure your own iron ore and refine it and smith it yourself already?

[@Mousekavich]

Dude nearly lit the forest on fire there, careful with that fire.

[@jic1]

I think it looked like that torch was closer to the foliage than it actually was.

Eating rabbit is forbidden in the bible.

1 Timothy 4:1-5 KJV - Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

@@GoogleUser-ij8rc By saying christians can eat pork and shellfish, you are admitting jesus is a false prophet. Deuteronomy 13 says that if someone tries to change the law, they are a false prophet even if they can perform miracles. The law says eating pork and shellfish is forbidden and so when the new testament says you don't have to follow that law it is changing the law and since the new testament changes the law that proves the new testament athours are false prophets.

Makes sense that God is using pines to display His Wonder ~and many healing visions. Thanks

Really? You, mortal creature of dirt, claim to understand God's divine plan and intentions? Blasphemer.

[@stephenmacdonald6886]

The Forests most useful resource is sap? I would think that would be the actual trees..... I find far more use for the wood.
