Thank you so much for this. I live on 11 acres of mostly an old growth pine forest. Lots of downed pines, and this is a great weekend project for me to tackle. I appreciate your work to make this video!

I saw the words “old growth and pine.” Wanted to be sure you were also aware of pine pitch salve and possibly Usnea. If you have Usnea, it just upped your game in antibiotics. 👍 Have you learned what plants grow on your property yet. I really enjoy harvesting them. We enjoyed extracting pine tar around the fire pit last night. It smells really weird/aweful 🤢. Lol 🤷‍♀️✌️

This video caught my eye, because I wanted to see if the way I make pine tar was the same as you (it was). I figured there wouldn’t be much to learn from this channel, and then I began to peruse the uploads. I apologize for even thinking such a thing. Your channel is quite a find. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. There is coming a time when this will save lives. Good stuff. You’re one of the good guys.

I’ve been making pine tar soaps. They are absolutely wonderful for sensitive skin. It’s been used for over 3000 yrs on farms to disinfect and heal wounds on animals. It smells absolutely wonderful. Rich earthy, soothing. My favorite soap. Some of my customers exclusively buy pine tar soaps and not interested in any other soaps. Awesome video. Thank you so much. ❤❤

In Carolina, it was used to waterproof the canvas tops and wagon covers with. The British had a place set up in New Salem NC called "Tory Pond". Its on some old maps. They dug pits, filled them with what was referred to as "lighter knot stumps". A lower pit was used to collect the product.

Dig out the roots and bole. That's where the really fatwood is found. You should fill the container with fatwood and seal the top before building the fire. I have been digging up pine boles and making pine tar for at least 50 years. .

@@woodspirit98 One would use a tar kiln. dig round kiln pit and from center of build a drain (made from a hollowed tree trunk), cover the drain( with a lead in from center of the kiln), seal the whole floor of the pit with clay and moss(except the drain hole). Pile in the fatwood in the pit.cover the fatwood with extra wood for fuel, cover that with earth, moss, peat and soil. At the edge one would leave a gap to light the kiln from all sides and then cover. Let it burn, making sure the fire doesn't breach the coverings (oxygen gets in and the fat wood will just burn) and also pack it in as the wood inside diminished (again to prevent straight burning). Some large kilns could take week to burn. It is very similar process to charcoal making. Only difference is one uses fatwood and the kiln bottom needs to be lined for water proofing so the tar will run at the bottom, instead of soaking to ground (then one would get tar sand.......)

That’s a great tip to harvest the roots of downed Pine trees because the Native Americans knew that the sap of the tree would flow down to the roots during the colder months(during the dark of the moon) and they chose to harvest wood for their bows during this time so the sap wouldn’t be inside the bow wood plus it wouldn’t rob the tree of its life giving sap and the tree would heal grow back.

@magicdaveable

AL Martin filling the bucket first is much more efficient. Preheating a relatively thin steel bucket doesn't speed up the process much. I use a 30 gallon drum of fatwood inside a 55 gallon drum. Mine is plumbed with iron drain pipe. I just set up the drums fill the inner drum with fatwood and fill in between the drums with the fire wood. A 30 gallon drum of fatwood makes about a gallon of pine tar. I use it for wood preservative and making soap.

I had the most terrible sprained ankle; black calf muscle, knee pulled aside and swollen, ankle black and swollen. I elevated it for weeks, used and did everything doctor at hospital provided. It only changed in that the black area moved. Still tons of pain and swelling and black. I rubbed some of this pine oil into it. 5 seconds later, NO pain. 20 seconds later, NO swelling. Next morning, NO black. I rubbed it in a couple more times. I continued elevating it but I did NOT baby it. I walked (hobbled, limped) on it more than before. I had stopped taking the percocet pain pills they gave me so I could feel what I was doing. Fact is; within less than 12 hours - no pain no swelling no black. It's amazing stuff. That was an extremely severe sprain. Miracle medicine.

Personally I'd go for the stumps and roots they usually have the highest concentration of heartwood which is gonna yield the most pine tar. Also a slight dish shape to the bottom of the metal container with the little holes in the center at the deepest point to help channel all the tar into your catch can. Also what your left with in the container after the distillation process is charcoal which has alot of uses as well.

I live on the site of an ancient Indian village in Oregon and I have found small stones and pebbles mixed together with pine tar (also called asphaltum). They used it for an adhesive and inside these tar blobs I found small semiprecious gem stone pieces and even someone’s front tooth. These objects vary in size from the size of a golf ball to the size of a basketball. They fall apart in hot water and can be dissolved with turpentine.

Splitting wood like that is a great tip, i use it many times or baton , this will help a few people out, always good to show axe /hatchet/tomahawk safety. lol I think i would fill the bucket and then when all ready, start my fire. tho hey this worked and you didnt burn yourself, so grats.

Can you do this with any type of wood or just pine and birch?

Only with trees that contain a high amount of oil/tar. An educated guess would be: cedar, spruce, rosewood ; although I think these contain essential oil, not tar, so steam distillation would be the way to go.

Could we cut the limbs and let them dry out if they are laying in the snow. Or will that let the tar dry out?

Real fat wood can be underwater for decades and removed and used in fire starting it's waterproof and bug proof and rot proof

Hi there, and thanks for the video. What would you do without a fancy container like that one? What would you use in a more primitive/survival like situation?

Paguro traduzioni It would be some work but I suppose if you could get some soapstone and carve it into a bowl that would work. Or, make a large clay pot with a removable lid. Metal is definitely the easiest but life is good with challenges.

Was that the sound of a highway that I heard in the background? It took balls to film your pine tar lesson deep in the woods behind the rest area. I found myself looking for a recipe to make Birch tar, and you appeared It was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for what you believe in. How have the skills of 2015 found you well today?

Is it strictly necessary to use fat wood to make tar, or is it just more efficient (higher yield) than the regular wood?

Thank you for the video. It was very interesting as I have not seen this done before. Can you please tell me about how long it takes to render the tar from the fat wood? Is it hours? Judging from your coal pile I am guessing it took some time.

Joshua Llewellyn That actually was only about 30 to 45 minutes from when the fire got good and hot. If you do it in the morning until lunch time you will get a good yield.

So, there's pine tar, pine pitch and pine resin. Are these all different things?
@Rambooutfitters
@Rambooutfitters 8 жыл бұрын
Pine sap/resin is what you harvest from the tree. Pine pitch is after you process it into a glue like substance. Pine tar is from oxidizing the wood and extracting tar.
