Watching the final seconds of the video is awesome... the way the camera catches the light and shadow of the passing clouds. Notice the timing with where I am. Neat stuff.

@johnwarring2337 3 года назад

that's beautiful fatwood you found. clean it up a little, cut it in to chips, and glue some copper wire around it for christmas tree ornaments/presents

@SurvivalTheory 3 года назад

It can hang next to camo Santa and the shotgun shells. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@joeyjones9041 4 года назад

In my experience here in Tennessee, the stumps of downed red pines have much better quality fatwood than the limbs. I worked on a golf course for years and i found some really killer fatwood sources. Many of them i left there but i did fill up a 2ft x 3ft x 2ft tote with fatwood.

wow, i have never heard of cedar having resin like that,,now i am on the hunt to get some . lol

Fatwood and ferrocerium ferro rods are very useful survival tools and are my favorite tools. I love fatwood and ferrocerium ferro rods.

A big very old pine just came down in my church. It had some dark fatwood like that, i was very pleased.

Here in southeast indiana, the cedar dont really have any resin. They just die and rot. I've dug through many of them and never found anything like that. Also we dont have many pine around. Good video sir.

@richcrabtree3466 4 года назад

Although I've been camping for years I never knew that about Cedar I knew that about Pine fatwood... nice hat my friend, it's good to see a RU-vidr actually make a statement like that keep on doing what you doing I dig your videos

You and me both. I've been walking right by cedars not knowing until now.

One of the very best "ferro" fire starters I have EVER used was from Solo Scientific.....completely self contained and a VERY hot spark......I use it all the time and it has never let me down....!!!!!

Now that's what I call fatwood, those were both amazing. Now I need to go hunting in my woods tomorrow, thanks for the show.

@clifficus 4 года назад

Always learn something Snake, didn’t know about Cedar, Pine certainly seemed to light quicker, Cedar burned longer, but looking at the vid again, the Cedar was giving off more black smoke than the pine suggesting it has more resin, could be why it burns longer, Love the vids, stay safe and well, 😃👍

@survivortechharold6575 2 года назад

the piles are not exactly the same.

@ogsavage1928 4 года назад

I think, judging by this video, the Pine took the spark and ignited quicker but the Cedar seemed to burn longer/stronger. To sum it up - use both on top of a piece of Burch bark and you will not fail. Next test - lets see it in the rain. I know you kept all of those juicy rounds.

@allhopeabandon7831 3 года назад

I subbed bc of your hat!...and bc I always thought cedar was less apt to have resin than pine...I wonder if cedar resin is as volatile as pine? I own a tree service in PA and never remember getting pitch on my hands cutting cedars, but we all know what pine will do to your hands...

@SurvivalTheory 3 года назад

Most cedars don't have resin like the ones I found. The bark makes good tinder though. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@survivortechharold6575 2 года назад

you can't go wrong with either. cedar is a very useful tree

@SurvivalTheory 2 года назад

Thanks for the view and comment!

@djschultz1502 4 года назад

I'd take either one. With our cold climate I think it doesnt allow it to flow so we dont get much fat wood. I find some but nothing to brag about. Great video snake. When I'm out in Tennessee in August I will be scouting for some for sure.

Dude, while you're in Tennessee, you should go check out Smoky Mountain Knife Works, in Sevierville, i love that place. They have a lot of cheap junk for the tourists, but they have a ton of killer stuff too. It's not only knives and axes, they have tons of guns too. AR15's handguns, they even have a Barret 50 cal lol. They had a huge box of magpul pmags for 9 bucks each. You should check it out before you leave. I'm going tomorrow to get a Gransfors Bruks Small Forest Axe, Tops Brakimo knife, and Leatherman Supertool 300 multi tool. Uncle Sam's stimulus money is upgrading my INCH bag for me lol.

@garethh6962 4 года назад

Good vid. Do you ever come across many birch trees your way Snake? I tapped on this week.

@SurvivalTheory 4 года назад

In Texas, almost never. When up north, I am always on the lookout for it. I get some when I can. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@theprophetez1357 4 года назад

I found the richest fatwood I have ever seen this past week. I got some to replenish my supply, but would love to get more. The wood is extremely opaque, smells like you are smelling turpentine out of the can, and burns like Hell. It is all in an old, still standing pine tree that is probably 30+ inches in diameter. I may have to sneak out there one day with my chain saw and get a large chunk for processing. I took video of it and may one day show that and some other interesting things I found while exploring the woods.

@rexmann1984 4 года назад

Shavings burn up too fast. I use a few splinters of it. It's usually easy enough to find no reason to be overly stingy with it and then need more tinder gathering.

@johnruckman2320 6 месяцев назад

I've never known cedar to have resin in it similar to pine. I live in NW CA. Regarding the inner cedar bark, what's the best way to remove it and turn it into a rats nest? Rubbing two chunks of bark together doesn't really work that well, but i also don't want to use my bare hands. We have a type pf oak here with a similar inner bark, but it is coarser in thickness and width, not like the hairy sixe of cedar. Been trying to find a way to separate it from the outer bark. It does pretty good as helpful fire starter in the wood stove. We also have juniper here with a strong punget smell.

@harrisquicksilver6595 Год назад

I hope u dont mind a youtube stalker, i cant stop obsessing over the fatwood from those trees... ur videos inspire me to get out there in search of, or stalking, the ultimate piece of fatwood.

@azclaimjumper 4 года назад

Was that a White Pine or Red Pine? BTW, I like the message on your hat.

@SurvivalTheory 4 года назад

Red pine I reckon. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@joeyjones9041 4 года назад

Red pines are darker amd the bark is much thicker and gnarly looking. The red pine has 2 needles per group and the white pine has 5. White pines are more greyish is bark color and red pines are more brownish red. Hope that helps. Red pines produce better fatwood IMO.

Cedar looked more stable. Not that easy to start but once it started it was more consistent then the pine. God bless you! One day we will all hide in the woods as drones cone them looking for us unvaccinated and unchipped to the right hand or the forehead! Thanks for so much valuable information!

@shastaham7630 3 года назад

A great subject, executed and recorded well. Very informative. HOWEVER, a horrible selection of a location. One strong gust of wind and you could have caused a horrible wildfire. Please be more careful in the future.

That would have been horrible! Thanks for watching and commenting!
