Welcome, to another exciting Scouting Fatwood Stump Adventure, episode 31. In this scouting for Fatwood hiking adventure, I traversed across through thick tropical forest brush with relentless heat and humidity on that mid-August summer day. Every step I took in search of Fatwood gold drained every ounce of energy I had from the depths of my soul and knew I had to push forward if I wanted to be successful at finding some. I had a sense of despair for a while with the thought I may not be so lucky finding anything that day, due to the low energy levels from the relentless heat. I was on the verge of calling it quits for the day until I came across my first gold Fatwood find. Upon carefully inspecting the pinewood fallen dead log, I noticed the pinewood log was eaten completely away by termites to the core. After realizing, the situation only added to my despair. I decided to press onward in search of Fatwood. As the day wore on, I found myself increasingly impressed by my tenacity to keep searching for what my passion was all about. I knew it was just a matter of time before I found what I came to look for in this tropical forest and toward the end of my search, just before when I was going to call it quits, I found a dead pinewood tree stump with the middle-core still in tack standing straight up from the tree stump. That was a total surprise for me to see that pinewood stump just before I was going to make my tracks out of the wood to head home for the day. Now, I had to examine the pinewood tree stump and had to work fast as there was a thunderstorm headed in my direction, and time was short if I was going to harvest any fatwood from that pinewood tree core. This experience was another magnificent Scouting Fatwood lesson for the books. This video will speak for itself.
