How To Find Fatwood in UK 

Funsized Earthling Thanks very much, I always worry that people might not be able to keep up or understand my way of explaining things as I personally find my style slightly unorthodox, but thank you it’s lovely to hear that I’d make a good instructor, I might have Elaine Bovill to thank for that as a few years ago she taught me a lot about coaching, psychology and getting the best out of people, she’s known throughout the UK for her skills. Fatwood is from Pine trees which are coniferous or evergreen. As there are over 100 different species of Pine trees it’s fairly easy to find but besides that not a lot of people know about it. From watching your videos I think you’ve definitely got what it takes but if you want to go camp in the woods going full bushcraft you may want to wait until spring or summer for the hotter weather as full bushcraft to me doesn’t include the use of a tent, however that’s just my opinion, bushcraft doesn’t have any rules although some people do believe it does, I say those people need to relax more. For me spring or early autumn is best due to not a lot of midges which can be sorted out by burning moss to create a strong smoke, however it’s still annoying having to deal with the tougher midges that’s more tolerant to smoke. Anyway it was my pleasure giving you the shout out you deserve for such an inspiring channel, I actually had to edit it slightly as I kept rambling on about your adventures and I didn’t want to spoil it for your future viewers, I tend to ramble on a lot, about everything, hahaha, anyway hope you enjoyed it.

Wild Man I understood you perfectly. It is short but comprehensive which is always great to keep an easily distracted audience (like me) focused, I think. Elaine did a good job! I don’t think I’ll go full bushcraft yet if I manage to get myself to camp in the woods. I will likely be on my own as my friends aren’t really into this. Having no tent will feel a bit too exposed. I don’t mind doing it in the mountains but I find the woods a little spooky at night..at least if I’m sleeping in a tent, a potential nutcase wouldn’t know whether it’s a bigger Begbie that’s inside the tent. If that makes sense?

Well if your ever in Scotland doing bushcraft your welcome to join me. Anyway what you’re doing just now looks amazing

Wild Man Ah, very kind of you! Thanks. I might have to take you up on that! Have an epic weekend. Mari

George Croney thank you for the kind words my friend. Nature and the wild is ever intriguing. Stay tuned ✌🏼

Thanks very much! I appreciate that my friend.

I’m really glad you enjoyed it. Yes, by spending more time in this woodland I’ve came to learn the ID process for spruce. Very handy tree to have around. Stay safe and stay tuned ✌🏼❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Renwick Customer thanks very much. I hate using the blade too however as you said the spine was rounded and it’s also a knife I don’t mind damaging the blade. Thanks for watching ✌🏼❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Thanks very much my friend I appreciate that

Planned preparation is the key. Dry your tinder prior to going out. Cut away the wet outer bark to be left with dry inner wood. Try that. Also try feather sticks.

@@WildManFrizzell thanks for getting back, some good advice there to bear in mind. Do you ever use none natural tinders? I’d like to keep everything natural if poss.

Rambling Rob Young I don’t like using non natural tinders

Thank you, it’s a USUK

Dave Kerr Your right! I’ll get you out maybe next weekend if you fancy it

@@WildManFrizzell yeah sounds good mate

Because we can’t just go around chopping trees down

You are mistaken, however thanks for your opinion.
