Fatwood (fire starting). Wet wood? No problem. [4K]

Finding the right natural materials to start a fire in adverse conditions can be a little difficult.
One of the best, in my opinion, is fatwood. Fatwood is also known as lighter wood, pine knot, lighter knot, or heart pine.
Fatwood is the resinous remains of a pine tree that has died. When a pine tree dies, either upright or fallen,
the sap settles into the heartwood of the branches and trunk.
As the tree rots the sap hardens into resin soaked wood, this is the fatwood.
The best spots to find it is where the branches attach to the trunk or the roots if the tree remained standing for a while.

good test, I would have liked to see the fatwood wet as well, just to see it really tested to the limit.
I think it will take a spark despite being wet.
