Hi Felix ! Greetings from Florida. I think your are by far the most articulated teacher on TH-cam 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!
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
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.
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...😊
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...
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."
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
Anyone who has spent even a single season working in the wilderness knows this.. Who in the world is actually digging up tree trunks & roots? No one that I’ve ever met out there..
@@AnAmericanFather Hello, nice to meet you! ☺ (Once is allways the first time. 😉) We do so here. Because there are not only big and heavy tree trunks in our woods, but also smaller ones and also roots, that are full of resin and relatively easy to remove out of the ground. LG
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!
In love that trick. All over the southeast USA, especially Georgia and Florida (which I'm most familiar with) pine is previlant and resin rings, fatwood and dried sap is easy to find when you know where to look. It damn sure makes it easier to start a fire with wet wood when you get caught in the rain in the middle of a hunt or hike.
Hallo Felix klasse das du wieder da bist ich hoffe du konntest dich etwas erholen 😉 ein super Video wie immer das wusste ich auch noch nicht das es so einfach geht cool danke
Brilliant tip Felix. All the forests I camp in are managed forests and there are stumps everywhere I will definitely be trying this one out. Hope you had a good break 👍🏻
Halli hallo Felix, 🙂 it's a cool trick, not often to seen. Thx. Bonus is for us the art, how You transmit all the knowledges and infos. Awsome! 🙂 Bye, Andrew
Grandioso volver a verte Felix! Espero hayas disfrutado tu receso, gracias por tu energía y conocimiento. Aprendemos mucho gracias a ti! Un abrazo desde Argentina
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,
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🤘🏽
Hi Felix. I think it's always good to see alternatives. I don't use birch bark because you can't find birch in the area where I travel. I usually use the variant with the broken branch. That's enough for one fire. Otherwise just fine shavings and resin. And always have a hand disinfectant wipe with you. It doesn't work as tinder. But it's great for removing resin from your fingers. 🤣
@@FelixImmler I haven't managed to light them with the firesteel. But maybe I'm doing something wrong or some of them don't work while others burn well. I tried it with the M-Plast ones from Migos.
Lord of the Resin-Rings 💍 😂 - Today I learned a new trick. Thank you Felix! 🙏☺️💜

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

Great video and a possibly life saving tip in a survival situation. Thanks for sharing.
I think we all appreciate Felix, however, I would include (or argue, Andrew)from Ranger Survival and Fieldcraft is one of the best teachers.
