Because Fatwood is so abundant and widespread in SC, I’ve never needed to cut dead branches off Pine Trees to find it. Let's give it a try! I cut 3 branches off 3 different Virginia Pine Trees and found that the first 4” were just LOADED. Yeah, but was it the good stuff? Come watch me scrape, ferro rod ignite, and make a raging Fatwood inferno out of it.

When I was a child in the 60s and 70s , we had 2 wood heaters , and a wood cook stove with an oven in it . Fat wood was a must around our home , and was as abundant in North Louisiana as where you live . I've always loved the smell of fat wood . To be honest , I just love the smell of a Pine tree period . Thanks for the great video. That first pile almost exploded when you lit it .

I've heard that scenario before, too. All the branches were fuller and richer than I expected.

I love these videos. Today, I finally found some fat wood while on a hike. Pine trees aren’t common in my area, and are usually trimmed with no usable lower branches. But today I was lucky. I shaved it with my little Victorinox Classic SD’s sharpened file spine. I also used this spine to successfully light the shavings with my official David West Signature Series Bayite keychain ferro rod. Thank you for the lessons!

As usual, Dave, you've inspired me to focus on the obvious and quit looking for the "perfect" fatwood sources. Each of the dead pine branches around me has plenty of fire starter to last as long as I'll need it. Thanks for the great demo, friend! God Bless you and yours ... Kihelakayo

You put me onto fatwood along time ago and the ferro rod. My grandkids love to go into our woods and get fatwood. We do have right many old pines down so fatwood is not hard to find. We don't usually build fires but they like to scrap it and put ferro rod to it. Thanks so much for sharing your fire starting technics. Take care.

New sub here, new to the fire craft, too, so you’ve been giving me a great education. I’ve been binge watching your videos. The thing I wonder is, what do your neighbors think.😂 I realized after your videos that dead wood birch bark is the thing to harvest, not the actual tree. I harvested a bunch today!

I like the mocking bird in the background. I live on the Springfield Plateau of the Ozarks and pine trees are not very common, cedar trees are abundant though. I'm looking forward to trying my hand at friction fire with cedar.

@@DavidWestBgood2ppl I was referring to the fancy sawhorses and used lumber burning platform. In other words, I was being a wise A**. I see absolutely nothing wrong with the camera and lighting setup. It is a welcome relief from the guys with the perfectly organized and alphabetized work shops and $20,00 worth of tools on the wall, plus cameras that track their movement around the environment. I will take your style any day.

Yes, water tight container, will still ignite well after it's completely dried out. See my fatwood playlist.
