This is what I have found to be the absolute best bushcraft balm. It's all natural and has multiple uses.
The initial cost for ingredients is not all that much, but once you have them, you can make this balm repeatedly for years.
Some of the ingredients can be substituted, as mentioned in the video, but if you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
As always, thank you for watching.
Get Wild
Stay Sane
and God Bless you all.

My dear Philosopher friend when I was a youngster in the early 60’s my grandfather had a balm that he made and swore by. I believe that this is the same recipe! Thank you so much as this balm not only brings back memories but is better than what you can buy in the pharmacy in my humble opinion! As always thank you dear friend!

Great story and memory, Clifford. Thanks for sharing it. 🙂🙂

@@thewildernessphilosopher Would this make a good water proofing for cotton, hemp, some denim products, canvas and perhaps synthetic jackets etc? As this would be far better than Teflon or Teflon type chemicals? Thanks. This is s keeper👍

@thewildernessphilosopher 9 месяцев назад

@ethimself5064 I've never tried. But if you've ever used waxed canvas or an oilcloth tarp, it would be a mix between the two, so yes, it would work. The downside would be that it would be oily/waxy, so would probably leave an oily mark on any fabric it stayed in contact with for more than a few minutes.

@@thewildernessphilosopher I was thinking of a DIY for the AUSY jackets and hats etc. Where I live they are not available. Thanks for getting back

@thewildernessphilosopher 9 месяцев назад

@ethimself5064 I understand now. I would just get a bar of beeswax, rub it into your item all over, then use a hairdryer to melt it so that it melts and soaks in. It will cool and not be oily, and will be VERY water resistant.

Wonderful formula, I specially like the fact that you can take into the woods a single tin to deal with all these issues instead of several

Another one for the books, glad to see you out and about. We did make pine candy, for tea. Once. Was great in a cup of tea, blended nice with the heat. Did not blend to good on ice cream, became hard as a caramel. Well that was also ok, lots of love. Best wishes!!

@@thewildernessphilosopher I think cheese cloth would be perfect. Can adjust the layers to suit the needs. There will be a little bit of loss cause the sap will absorb a bit in the cloth

Like it. I have been thinking about using pine resin to keep my thumb ring (Asiatic style archery) from slipping between shots. This gives me some good ideas about using additives to keep the pine resin soft but sticky. Thanks.

@henryganzer4685 11 месяцев назад

maybe you should try to find a way to melt the pine resin more carefully. when it boils and start to get dark the most active substances in the resin are going away at first

@thewildernessphilosopher 11 месяцев назад

I usually melt everything in boiling water, but resin needs a higher temperature. Yes, a lower flame would help, but a stove only goes so low. Perhaps a candle would work better.

@henryganzer4685 11 месяцев назад

@@thewildernessphilosopher i do some similar stuff and use an old alcohol burner to melt the resin. this old alcohol burner can be set to a very low flame. this kind of alcohol burner is used here in switzerland for heating up cheese fondue.

Any difference (properties) between pine & cedar resin

@thewildernessphilosopher Год назад

There is a difference but both will work well. "Cedar resin is able to heal wounds thanks to terpenes, succinic acid, and phytoncides. They affect all processes associated with healing: regulate the level of leukocytes, affect the regenerative potential of peripheral blood, and activate phagocytosis.".

Would store bought pine tar work also? Thanks!

@thewildernessphilosopher 23 дня назад

The ingredients in store bought pine tar are typically volatile terpene oils, neutral oils of high boiling point and high solvency, resin and fatty acids. So, while you may end up with the correct consistency, it won't give you the pure medicinal properties of pure pine resin. I hope that helps.
