Felix deserves 5 million subscribers. We all should endeavour to share his work far and wide🙂👍 L E G E N D .

What a great tip, my friend! I did not know that one! Welcome back!

Welcome back, ☺️,, this is a fantastic trick,, thank you my friend,, 👍👌

Hi Felix ! Greetings from Florida. I think your are by far the most articulated teacher on RU-vid and it is much appreciated. I know what it’s like to put together videos and have to post them so thank you for doing that for us. I really appreciate watching your videos. Cheers!

Hope you had a great break - welcome back, you were missed. Thanks for yet another great tip! 👍😎👍

Hi Felix, I always enjoy your videos, which are full of tid bits of bushlore knowledge. To answer your question regarding why the resins are located on the thin layer around the tree is because that is the actual living growth area of the tree. That area is the circulatory area of the tree like blood vessels are to other animals. It is called the zylum and Phoalum. When a tree ages and grows they produce growth rings which are formed beneath this area. I remember this from my plant morphology science classes in college. Sorry I probably spelled that layer incorrectly.

I won't lie, I never thought of it before! Great video like always.

Hallo Felix, dein Wissensschatz ist unerschöpflich. Danke für die genialen Tips und schön, dass du wieder Zeit gefunden hast, diese mit uns zu teilen!!! VG Arno

Thanks mr Felix, love fatwood. Did not know this so happy to learn something.

I don't know much about this so that was brilliant. One of the best tips I have ever seen in fact! After your break you are on fire Felix!

...und wieder mal was gelernt! Danke Felix!

Hello Felix! Welcome back! Sure missed you! I'm enjoying your video on fat wood. You never cease to amaze me. Learned a lot, thanks again, good to have you back...😊

Great information...thank you! I've recently started collecting fatwood and now I can start looking for newer stumps.

Hallo Felix, schön, dass Du wieder da bist. Guter Tip! LG aus Hessen RIDG

Hi Felix, you did not lie! 👍 This is really a method, i've never seen before, but that's absolutely amazing, genious and very cool too! A real great experience and a new "gear" for the mental "Toolbox! Thank you very much for showing this absolutely great option to find tinder! 🙏👍 Have a nice weekend! LG

Thank Felix for an informative and useful tip/trick educational and entertaining,, good to see you back!!

Vielen Dank für den super Trick! Schön wieder was von Dir zu sehen. Hoffentlich hast Du Deine Pause genossen und viel Zeit mit Deiner Familie verbracht. Nachträglich auch noch "Gueds Nües!" von mir. Ich denke, der Grund für die sehr dünne Harzschicht ist der Tod des Baums durch das Fällen. In den letzten "Zuckungen" presst er verzweifelt seinen letzten Rest nach oben um die "Wunde" zu schließen. Von unten wird aber nichts mehr nachgebildet, so dass der Harzfluss versiegt. Er blutet quasi aus...

Bravo from DAZ in Australia, excellent video, keep well ,keep strong, much appreciated

Fantastic tip for the ol' wheel house, thanks Felix!

Nice to see you back. And thanks for another good tip.

Welcome back, fantastic videos! I'm reading this interesting old book (How Indians Use Wild Plants for Food, Medicine & Crafts Frances Densmore -available on Internet Archive) and it made me think of how you are always teaching us tricks to outwit the enemies of life! "The birch and the cedar were regarded as " sacred " by the Chippewa. The two reasons for this " sacredness " are closely connected. One is the great usefulness of these trees to the Chippewa and the other is their connection with Winabojo, yet these two reasons are really one, for everything that is a benefit to the tribe is traced to Winabojo, the mythical character who, it is said, taught the Chippewa to live in their natural environment and yet, by his apparently witless actions, gave them an endless supply of humor. The amusing stories of Winabojo are told and retold by the old people around the winter fire. A misunderstanding of these humorous stories has given to some students an impression that Winabojo was a fantastic deity, but the old, thoughtful Indians understood him to be the source and impersonation of the lives of all sentient things, human, faunal, and floral. He endowed these sentient things with life, and taught to each its peculiar ruse for deceiving its enemies and prolonging its life. His "tricks" were chiefly exhibitions of his ability to outwit the enemies of life. He was thus regarded as the master of ruses, but he also possessed great wisdom in the prolonging of life. It was he who gave the Indians their best remedies for treating the sick, and who taught the animals the varied forms of protective disguise by which their lives can be extended. His own inherent life was so strong that, when apparently put to death, he reappeared in the same or a different form. This character, under slightly different names, appears in many Algonquian tribes, among the spellings of his name being Nanabush, Minabozho, and Nenabozho."

Felix, it was simply awesome! 🤝

Just heard about fatwood and the tricks to find it. This makes so much sense. A great way to collect a bit in an emergency to get a fire going.

Fantastisches Video 🎉 Herr Immler, ist ein Könner ⭐

Hi Felix! Thank you for sharing this very practical technique.

Ja lieber Felix, genau so wird's gemacht!👍👍👍 Schön, dass du wieder da bist! Willkommen zurück und ganz liebe Grüße aus Wels!

Great video Felix , thanks for sharing YAH bless my friend !

Wieder was dazugelernt,danke Felix.😊😊😊

Welcome back. :D

I like your style. I have sappy stumps in my area. I never thought to scrape the resin into a dust. Nice ferro rod striking method. You strike so smoothly. Cheers!

Good stuff, useful! Never thought of getting the shavings in this manner. Been a while since I learned a new technique on youtube!

Hallo Felix. Absolut genial! Ab sofort fester Bestandteil des "mentalen Werkzeugkastens" Freu mich schon das bald auszuprobieren. Merci vielmal!

Absolut genial! Eigentlich logisch und nachvollziehbar, aber trotzdem hab ich noch nie so ein video gesehen, oder wäre auf die idee gekommen (und das auf über 10'500km wandern durch europa und "schlag mich tot"- wie viele feuer in den letzten 8-10 jahren!!)😂🙈 Liebsten dank für den tipp, bester youtube channel ever (beweise dafür gibts ja meist wöchentlich😃) Schöns wochenänd🤘🏽

Thank you, Felix, I live in the Pacific Northwest of the USA and we have lots of Spruce and Douglas Fir Stumps from Logging. So I will use this tip for sure,

Welcome back Felix.

Servus Felix, habe mich immer gefragt, wie man dieses Harz wohl am besten ernten kann, jetzt weiß ich es... Muchas Gracias, schöne Grüße, Marco

Welcome back Felix, another good trick!

Great video. Thanks for the info

See you in the woods my friend👍

Excellent video Thank you

Danke für diesen tollen Tip - wieder was gelernt!

I just love the term “fat wood”!

Thanks 👍

Thank you Felix! 😲☺👌👍🤘🤘🤘

Great video, as usual! Thank you very much, Felix.

A new trick for me, but finding fatwood here in SC USA is easy. Pines make up much of our forests and the more common varieties here have lots of resin, so just take a stroll in the woods and you'll smell the fatwood. Follow your nose right to it. Chances are you'll see the resin oozing out of the trees. This is why the State nickname was once "The Turpentine State" since it is is based on pine sap.

super idee. ich denke die meisten von uns haben die Schicht schon gesehen. aber sie so zu nutzen, da muss man erst mal drauf kommen. 😊👍vielen Dank!

Great video, my friend!

Thank you for this excellent video 👍
