    thanks for being honest, it’s a lot harder to find fat than most channel’s say

      Yeah unless you live around a ton of pine or spruce it’s not as common as on the CZcams’s lol.

      @@mountainbond1743 I've got a really good eye for this kind of thing, I hunt, walking sticks, burls, and Spalted woods. I'll take time,, to find some "fat", but, don't care, just being alone in the bush is reward enough.
      May you continue to enjoy your bush, "boogies".

    Great vid! Thanks for sharing, I wish I would’ve seen it sooner. Was out this pm looking for resin wood, aka fat wood. I found a couple of small pieces off some dead pine tree but nothing like your monster piece! I’ll definitely do the fat wood God call next time I’m out in the woods. You got a new subie…

    I keep finding fatwood in pallets I sometimes have as a firewood, cutting them planks into short slabs and then shaving them with a hand plane set for thick shavings.

  • @theyearwas1473
    @theyearwas1473 Před 2 měsíci +1

    I've never understood how people struggle to find this stuff.
    Look for some dead trees. Gravity based low points.
    Look for dead pine, spruce trees.
    Search for sap covered end, cut. Tah dah
    You can even make your own if you're patient want to wait a handful of years

    Once I've found a log that's 20 cm in diameter and 6m long. Me and my friend jaws just dropped. It was on small island on water reservoir. I've noticed lot of pine trees there have covered bark in resin.

      I don't see the point of your comment, their video showed how to find fatwood and it showed how easy it is to start on fire.
      The video set out to do exactly what it was supposed to and people in this comment section clearly learned.
      Just cuz you from the hills doesn't mean you got to act like it bud.
