The Pacific Northwest is one of the wettest areas in North America, and finding dry wood can be a major pain. In this episode, we head up into the woods near Cultus Lake (Chilliwcak) to test our dry wood identification skills, and in the process have a few knife discussions and some laughs. Thanks for watching.

You're in my neck of the woods. Best fly fishing in the Valley!

+TactiNot Vedder river is awesome. I've never fished there, but maybe this year during one of the salmon runs. I would probably have to take time off work and go mid-week though, weekends get pretty crazy from what I've seen and heard. Cheers,

+StartUpSurvival if you know where to go on the vedder to avoid crowds it's a good time. More so for trout species on the vedder for me though. Lots of other water systems in the area with incredible salmon/trout fishing as well.

Get rid of that baco laplander and get you a Corona or better yet a silky saw.

You do not need dry wood. step 1: purchase biolite stove and grill step 2: purchase fire sticks aka fuel sticks dollerama sells them cheap step 3: collect wet wood step 4: put grill on biolite stove, fill stove with fuel sticks, cris cross wet sticks, light fuel sticks, dry wood in 3-4 minutes, remove and repeat. This method not only recharges your dead gps and electronics but it saves your life. Why spend hours trying to gather enough dry wood which leads you more to become colder and more hyperthermic. Plenty of wet sticks near by. 4-5 hour fire takes 10-15 minutes of wet wood collecting.

+StartUpSurvival hey I'm a fan and I've been following you for a while now, to answer your question it looks like the trees your using are Red Alder trees. I'm in the Coquitlam area and spend time bushcrafting up Burke Mountain. I've found the BC government Tree Book to be really handy. It makes identifying local trees easy and outlines some of their uses. Here's the link to the free PDF, I have it downloaded onto my phone for use in the bush. www.for.gov.bc.ca/hfd/library/documents/treebook/

The title is misleading... I didn't feel like they shed any light on how to make a fire in the wet NW.. they did the act without explaining anything. Therefore it get more like two guys video taping a lame conversation while chopping wood.

Are they white birch trees?

@CavemanTravels 8 лет назад

+Sunbear415 NO birch rarely grows on the west coast.

@BeerInTheWoods 8 лет назад

+Sunbear415 Those are Alders. They are in the Birch family though. If you go just under the bark you will be able to see a red or white layer to determine which variety they are. On the outside they look almost the same.

csh 62 give him a break he's still sawing with that baco laplander! Listen to the whisper Silky Silky Silky !

@garyechols9458 6 лет назад

Alder, great for smoking fish or meat; starting a fire . . . not so much.

Please, learn to drop a tree properly before you get hurt. Sight carefully, have escape route. Undercut. Backcut at proper height, you know, the basics.
