Love it...but sometimes we find ourselves in areas where there aren’t any Pines or Firs...I live in SW Texas where there are only old Oaks, Elms, Junipers and Texas Black Persimmon trees..

Nice, this was randomly linked, on some web page in the comments, by an arborist.

No need to go buy it when you have miles of forest to pick from here in the Pacific Northwest.I've got tons of it.

Omg ever since I’ve started watching corporal corner, , during COVID, I’ve learned so much, now my home is full of fat wood, knives and silky saws, firewood, and ferro rods, It’s time I went back to work. My friends are getting worried, I’ve enjoyed every minute in my favourite pine forest here in south Australia, thanks for you’re awesome chennel

I always wondered what fatwood was. Thanks for clarifying.

This is a great Fatwood video. We’ve been getting it from rotten Doug fir stumps for decades and it’s always reliable. Thanks for the great content!

I see the old grunt in you my friend. Always searching for the potential threat as you move. Sounds, movement, especially people. I still do it and I have been back from active combat since 1971. Probably will never go away and I think that isn't all bad. Whenever I go into the woods I look for booby traps and ambushes. Bless you young man and thank you for your service.

Not the new pine trees that are planed for pulp production. The are bred to have very very low resin content. The will be ready to cut in I think around 10 years. When you cut one of them down, the root will rot in the ground. These pines will have very short needles around 4 - 6 in. The long leaf yellow pine, needles approx 8 - 12 in. are the old pines that can take 100 years to full grow, that you can cut, and the sap will flow out of the cut. The are the trees that were used in Turpentine business.

Hello from Oklahoma! Great Stuff! Its always good to pass this stuff on. I had the privilege of showing a young man this and other stuff last year at deer camp. We use a lot of pine knots here. The area I go to is logged and burned regularly. Thanks for the videos. Even tho I've been doing this for awhile, I'm 59, I still learn from your content. Thanks!

I stumbled across the biggest deposit of Fatwood today. I have harvested some small limbs, branches and such, but this was a big tree trunk full of it..It rained a lot last night and this fatwood was rich with resin, it lit on the second stroke of the rod..I will be storing some for future use..

Good video. I'm hunting for fat wood this weekend!

[the_gilded_age_phoenix]

I used sticks of this to light my grill. They sell these in Vietnam...I thought it was just wood soaked in some sort of accelerant. Just didn't think of it coming from pine trees, but it makes sense when I think about it.

[raywalter]

a life times supply for sure. sweet knife. Been thinking of getting it. thanks again!!!

[ibmoosed]

That looked soaked in resin.
Good score

another great video from Corporals corner!, I thought I found some fatwood today when out walking, I later found out it was red oak which would explain why it wouldn't light very easy. is that an Opinel saw you are using? it might be a nice small alternative to my big old Bahco Laplander. all the best from mountain bear outdoors in the UK.
