Fat lighter comes from the heartwood of pine trees. If you find a fallen pine tree in the woods that isn't too deteriorated you can cut through to the heartwood and see if there is fat lighter. It has a really strong smell of resin. If the tree is really old, the roots often have resin packed cores same as the heartwood. Same can be said if there are knots in the wood. A stump that has outer resin on it also has fat lighter in its heartwood. Good video. : )
Henry Wiles I know it's difficult some times I just enjoy sharing my knowledge with people less fortunate to have friends and family that you go camping with
Those strikers are just 3/8 or 1/2" metal lathe tool blanks. The corners are razor sharp and that type of steel is easy to rust. You would need to keep it in a sealed case if you are bringing it to the outdoors.
The 'fire starter wood' is also called fatwood. It's a dense pack of sap infused wood. The square fire striker is to replace your knife. Use the edge of the square instead of your knife blade.
That wood is what we in Southeast Texas call Lighter Pine. It is the bottom of the pine tree that has most of the sap in it. That's why it's so flammable.
That kindling is fat wood. Essentially the resin sap in the tree gets collected in a section usually after damage to the tree. It is very flammable and a great tool to start fires.
the reason the fat wood burns so well is cause its harvested from the core or heartwood from pines and it contains terpene which is basically sap in the its first stage and terpene is very flammable
for the next video, you should try heating up one of the big strikers until its glowing red, then smack it with a screwdriver. It should blast like a firework but bright white!!
