Fatwood is GREAT for starting fires, especially in wet conditions. This video has tips for finding fatwood, a.k.a lighter knot or lighter pine, in the woods. Joshua Enyart teaches you what to look for to easily find this valuable resource.

Fatwood is found in pine trees and will light even when wet.

I am a 67 yr old newbie at finding fat wood. But because i watched this video 3 days ago i found a dead stump today with part of it not being decomposed yet. I started working on it and got about 15 pounds of fat wood out of it. There is a lot more in the most solid piece of the root but it will take a lot of effort to get it out. I may leave it there. I want to thank you very much for this video. Want to add that i have walked within 5 ft of that stump at least 8000 times in the last 12 years. Thanks again Joshua I have been watching several survival videos in the last couple of months and you are one of the best. You do a good job of explaining the topic you are teaching, even for a newbie like me !!!!

You know, I've always looked for fatwood in the bases of branches laying on the ground like the one you found there, but I've never thought to look at rotted out stumps. That one stump probably had all the fatwood I'd need for the rest of my life! Great info again! Thanks!

I live in northern Ontario..I'm lucky enough to have almost everything in arms reach...birch bark, pine resins, fat wood. almost anything you could ever need to light a fire...which is a good thing...cause with 6 months of snow and cold...its pretty handy..

After watching this video I went outside to a 4 year old pine tree stump in my yard and found beautiful fatwood that I never knew was there. Thank you so much for another good video!

We have that stuff lot in Finland and finding it it’s one of the most important skills. It works in every weather and saves lot of time when starting a fire. You just need to remember to take only what you need so that other people can use it too.

☑️ FINALLY, someone used the term I always heard as a kid growing up in eastern Piedmont region of NC, which was "lighter knot"! 🙂

In the northwest, we just call it pitch or tree sap for live trees and resin is the crystallized material in deadwood
