I had done a lot of reading about how they made wooden boats back in the day, and the ropes and knots they used.. The term "Pine Tar" came up a lot, but I was never sure what it was. Thanks for the education!
Thank you so much for this. I live on 11 acres of mostly an old growth pine forest. Lots of downed pines, and this is a great weekend project for me to tackle. I appreciate your work to make this video!
I saw the words “old growth and pine.” Wanted to be sure you were also aware of pine pitch salve and possibly Usnea. If you have Usnea, it just upped your game in antibiotics. 👍 Have you learned what plants grow on your property yet. I really enjoy harvesting them. We enjoyed extracting pine tar around the fire pit last night. It smells really weird/aweful 🤢. Lol 🤷♀️✌️
Dig out the roots and bole. That's where the really fatwood is found. You should fill the container with fatwood and seal the top before building the fire. I have been digging up pine boles and making pine tar for at least 50 years. .
This video caught my eye, because I wanted to see if the way I make pine tar was the same as you (it was). I figured there wouldn’t be much to learn from this channel, and then I began to peruse the uploads. I apologize for even thinking such a thing. Your channel is quite a find. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. There is coming a time when this will save lives. Good stuff. You’re one of the good guys.
Because of the antimicrobial properties, pinetar-drenched cloth/fibers are great for wrapping food, and for sealing off (clay) jars with consumables in them.
I absolutely adore primitive living and that good ol' Native know how. I've been practicing this for about 5 years now and started in 2012 with old fashioned lye soap making, which grew into my obsession with honoring my ancestors and continuing on with their lost skills. Now I travel annually to Oklahoma to share in Primitive Living Classes and learn new skills. There's nothing better than being a leader, especially for our youth who lose so much to the tech era.
I’ve been making pine tar soaps. They are absolutely wonderful for sensitive skin. It’s been used for over 3000 yrs on farms to disinfect and heal wounds on animals. It smells absolutely wonderful. Rich earthy, soothing. My favorite soap. Some of my customers exclusively buy pine tar soaps and not interested in any other soaps. Awesome video. Thank you so much. ❤❤
In Carolina, it was used to waterproof the canvas tops and wagon covers with. The British had a place set up in New Salem NC called "Tory Pond". Its on some old maps. They dug pits, filled them with what was referred to as "lighter knot stumps". A lower pit was used to collect the product.
I am very, very, impressed with your knowledge and mechanical know how on this lost art. People in today's world forget that we were making pine tar for probably thousands of years. Keep up the extremely good work, I am so glad that some of the old art's are not lost and forgotten.
@@woodspirit98 One would use a tar kiln. dig round kiln pit and from center of build a drain (made from a hollowed tree trunk), cover the drain( with a lead in from center of the kiln), seal the whole floor of the pit with clay and moss(except the drain hole). Pile in the fatwood in the pit.cover the fatwood with extra wood for fuel, cover that with earth, moss, peat and soil. At the edge one would leave a gap to light the kiln from all sides and then cover. Let it burn, making sure the fire doesn't breach the coverings (oxygen gets in and the fat wood will just burn) and also pack it in as the wood inside diminished (again to prevent straight burning). Some large kilns could take week to burn. It is very similar process to charcoal making. Only difference is one uses fatwood and the kiln bottom needs to be lined for water proofing so the tar will run at the bottom, instead of soaking to ground (then one would get tar sand.......)
That’s a great tip to harvest the roots of downed Pine trees because the Native Americans knew that the sap of the tree would flow down to the roots during the colder months(during the dark of the moon) and they chose to harvest wood for their bows during this time so the sap wouldn’t be inside the bow wood plus it wouldn’t rob the tree of its life giving sap and the tree would heal grow back.
Pine tar was one of the greatest exports of Sweden in the past. Since it can keep wood from rotting it's quite useful for keeping ships afloat. It fell out of use when metal ships came into fashion though
I love you, thank you very much for sharing. I'm a Woman. Living in the woods and I have a big Pine tree that I love in front of my house. This is very useful, for me. Thank you, for real!
I had the most terrible sprained ankle; black calf muscle, knee pulled aside and swollen, ankle black and swollen. I elevated it for weeks, used and did everything doctor at hospital provided. It only changed in that the black area moved. Still tons of pain and swelling and black. I rubbed some of this pine oil into it. 5 seconds later, NO pain. 20 seconds later, NO swelling. Next morning, NO black. I rubbed it in a couple more times. I continued elevating it but I did NOT baby it. I walked (hobbled, limped) on it more than before. I had stopped taking the percocet pain pills they gave me so I could feel what I was doing. Fact is; within less than 12 hours - no pain no swelling no black. It's amazing stuff. That was an extremely severe sprain. Miracle medicine.
The whole thing takes time to heat up, so he's actually saving time by putting the bucket first, so it has a head start to heat up, while he fills it with sticks, otherwise that bucket is sitting cold and idle while he fills it.
AL Martin filling the bucket first is much more efficient. Preheating a relatively thin steel bucket doesn't speed up the process much. I use a 30 gallon drum of fatwood inside a 55 gallon drum. Mine is plumbed with iron drain pipe. I just set up the drums fill the inner drum with fatwood and fill in between the drums with the fire wood. A 30 gallon drum of fatwood makes about a gallon of pine tar. I use it for wood preservative and making soap.
Hi yes well done this pine tar call in my country KAtran and smells good, people for centuries In north Africa Algeria Morocco and Tunisia they were using it and still to cover the new clay containers to preserve the genuinely and cleanliness of the water, prevented malaria and other deseases, also used to flavour water and keep it cool, its antifungal anti bacterial and kills virus, proven. Thanks for sharing
I am so excited to do this tomorrow. Thank you so much. I enjoyed watching. I've been suffering with Lyme disease for years. I really think this could be an answer. I'm not even going to be able to sleep. Headed to my property to try it early. God bless you.
Personally I'd go for the stumps and roots they usually have the highest concentration of heartwood which is gonna yield the most pine tar. Also a slight dish shape to the bottom of the metal container with the little holes in the center at the deepest point to help channel all the tar into your catch can. Also what your left with in the container after the distillation process is charcoal which has alot of uses as well.
We enjoyed trying this out around the fire pit last night. We neglected a tight lid. We were still able to extract some. Smells aweful! Lol 🤢 This was terrific to learn about. Thanks much! 👍 Bonus: had a personal stove/heater when we were done. Since we neglected a tight lid it ended up catching fire inside the can. Great personal heater and got a couple of tbl spoons worth of tar too. :) Now we’re keeping extra cans around just for that. ❤
I live on the site of an ancient Indian village in Oregon and I have found small stones and pebbles mixed together with pine tar (also called asphaltum). They used it for an adhesive and inside these tar blobs I found small semiprecious gem stone pieces and even someone’s front tooth. These objects vary in size from the size of a golf ball to the size of a basketball. They fall apart in hot water and can be dissolved with turpentine.
Great info on finding fatwood. i do the same thing even on live spruce trees. Pine trees are up here but not in the areas i camp so i have to look toward the spruce tree. Splitting wood like that is a great tip, i use it many times or baton , this will help a few people out, always good to show axe /hatchet/tomahawk safety. lol I think i would fill the bucket and then when all ready, start my fire. tho hey this worked and you didnt burn yourself, so grats. Very good video man, thanks for sharing.
Kullcraven Bushcraft Thank you and I agree. I wish there were spruce trees here. It's my favorite tea. Got tons of them in Michigan, but none here. Yea probably better to teach putting the wood in first. I just kept the fire down then let it rip after. Thanks again my friend.
I understand what you're saying. To put other words on this; make sure there isn't a vacuum otherwise you're going to see tar in your face when you look in the mirror.
Great advice so don't get me wrong, but I think is funny how everyone that does survival tips in the woods seems to always use temperature for fires and liquids as if you will have a thermometer with you. I think color, viscosity, smell, etc. are your most accurate indicators in a real life situation for where you are at temp wise.
I've used this tactic to patch a canoe on a fishing excursion I went on and I boil pine little branches with needles boil use the water after it cools mix with water base paint and it is a good extra resin with latex hardener
It's simple heat melt and collect the pine sap use that way or distilled for turpentine hundreds of uses for wood or metal or medicine thousand year old knowledge thanks I just thought everybody already knew but many have been born since the forties when my family did everything from scratch great grandpa love and learn
I like the way you do your video and it was very interesting thank you for staying down to Earth in your video I love to watch more of your videos this Pine Tar Now i know when in the 15th a and 16th century castle they used Pine Tar torches.
Excellent video the one question i would have is how long or what is the window time wise. Do you have after a pine tree is down do you have to harvest the Wood ? I used to do a lot of Backpacking and hiking and i would use Sappy pine tree parts as a fire starters because it was free and light to carry. In Ziplock bags in my pack i lived in the NorthEast United States and did a lot of my hiking through the Appalachian. Mountains in Maryland , Virginia, and West Virginia as well as a little in Pennsylvania Knew that the old boat builders used to use Pine Tar to help seal and protect the finished boat thanks fo sharing i did Sub to the channel and i hope to “ Bingewatch “ any other videos you may have posted. As this stuff is right up my alley in liking
nice one ,great job with making pine tar very cool method , great uses indeed 1 thanks for sharing and i agree with Marc Scouting Free you deserve more subs my friend ! look forward to the next vid atb john
you get a fire started real quick with that stuff I've done it is when you go out and you're going to a Hunt Club that's what we use on the campfires getting started specially in the winter
I'm makin tar exactly the same way, at the moment:D Just found this video to ensure myself that it's not a danger method cause of pressure cases.. glad to watch this as i use the same sort of cask:P usefull stuff - thumbs up!
Thanks for sharing this video! Very interesting. I see someone else already mentioned using it to make soap. I was just watching a video on how to do that and ended up here, which I am glad I did. Will subscribe.
Super awesome, thank you! Do you have videos how to make lye from ash for soap? I live in the Pacific Northwest and I have been trying to find people who are interested in making trips to the mountains with me to learn survival skills like this, and to my amazement I havent found a single person. Where are all the people like you hiding??
Cori Jo McGraw where at in PNW ? I'm sure there are plenty ,but they may not have media access . Lots of people living in the woods around here ,trying to stay under the radar . Mason County
Log builders used to use oakum (rope saturated in pine tar to fill the gaps between logs before chinking the gaps. The pine tar helps to reduce bugs and drafts
Thank you very much for the video, very cool. I'm going to buy resin because it's cheaper than paraffin (which left me very surprised), I'll see if mixing the rosin with water makes it more similar to this product, if so, it would be even better, we don't always want something so thick The hatchet thing is very good and useful, I didn't like it until I saw it a while ago, but it's still not worth it, the machete is much more useful
SOG tomahawk for chopping wood ? Eh ok . My fighting united cutler tomahawk only touches wood when I'm throwing it. Regular hatches are way cheaper and more effective. That being said COOL VIDEO , darn interesting and useful . THANKS
Hi, thanks for the video - really helpful. Does the pine tar go solid when it cools? Can it be reheated to use at a later point? Will it still be 'good quality' if the tar is collected over time as and when? Please forgive all the questions - I'm very new at this :-)
Sheena Guthrie Hey thanks for watching. I don't mind the questions, sorry for the late reply. Pine tar will remain like an oil. I haven't kept any for a super long time, but it never went bad. I suppose like anything it breaks down over time, but I feel with this it will be a while. You can use pine tar and reheat it whenever you like. Any other questions with anything feel free to ask.
Great job on the video. very clear instructions. I have been looking for a way to make resin for my art. Native jewelry, medicine wheels, etc. Willi it harden or Is there any thing to add tat would make it harden after it dries?
Was that the sound of a highway that I heard in the background? It took balls to film your pine tar lesson deep in the woods behind the rest area. I found myself looking for a recipe to make Birch tar, and you appeared It was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for what you believe in. How have the skills of 2015 found you well today?
I loved the video. Does what you don’t use immediately harden being stored in the glass jar? Any recipes for making this into a salve with say coconut oil etc? Also can you put it in soap somehow?
Great video man, does this stuff really evaporate and burn like candle wax? I would imagine it being too viscose and solid at colder temperatures? Thanks for the info dude I'm going to have a look at this 👍
About your black can whit a wick ...here went I made pine tar it get thick it will not run the wick ...birch oil it is more liquid.... As the comment said pack your contender very well ...here up north Bc it is not as common as the south but we have some Thank you and do it again so people's will learn it whit the improvement........
Could you use this process even if you dont have a lot of fatwood? Got a few downed pines but very little to no fatwood. Could you substitute fatwood with “green” wood?
You just got a new subscriber homie, nice work! Also I spotted your hawkes helllion? I noticed the micarta handles and the handle shape and I used to have one as a teen, and I'm bummed I gave it away (eye roll lmao).
Aw sausages, no subtitles on something I really wanted to learn about because I wanted to make some tar for the fence posts but wanted to know what else you could use it for as well as fuel for light.
Hi there, and thanks for the video. What would you do without a fancy container like that one? What would you use in a more primitive/survival like situation?
Paguro traduzioni It would be some work but I suppose if you could get some soapstone and carve it into a bowl that would work. Or, make a large clay pot with a removable lid. Metal is definitely the easiest but life is good with challenges.
I want to get some pine tar as an ingredient for making grafting wax. I'm happy to find out that it's not the same thing as the pitch you find solidified on tree wounds. Thanks.

Another great video! Thanks a lot, Cheers, Marc
Scouting Free Thanks again Marc!
The secret to that jawline is chewing the pine tar like gum
Thank you very much for the video, very cool. I'm going to buy resin because it's cheaper than paraffin (which left me very surprised), I'll see if mixing the rosin with water makes it more similar to this product, if so, it would be even better, we don't always want something so thick
The hatchet thing is very good and useful, I didn't like it until I saw it a while ago, but it's still not worth it, the machete is much more useful
SOG tomahawk for chopping wood ? Eh ok . My fighting united cutler tomahawk only touches wood when I'm throwing it. Regular hatches are way cheaper and more effective. That being said COOL VIDEO , darn interesting and useful . THANKS
Never know when you're splitting wood and need to take out an elk from 30 meters away with your native american tomahawk skills
Hi, thanks for the video - really helpful. Does the pine tar go solid when it cools? Can it be reheated to use at a later point? Will it still be 'good quality' if the tar is collected over time as and when? Please forgive all the questions - I'm very new at this :-)
Sheena Guthrie Hey thanks for watching. I don't mind the questions, sorry for the late reply. Pine tar will remain like an oil. I haven't kept any for a super long time, but it never went bad. I suppose like anything it breaks down over time, but I feel with this it will be a while. You can use pine tar and reheat it whenever you like. Any other questions with anything feel free to ask.
Great job on the video. very clear instructions. I have been looking for a way to make resin for my art. Native jewelry, medicine wheels, etc. Willi it harden or Is there any thing to add tat would make it harden after it dries?
You want cave man hot glue. pine sap , charcol , bunny poop. tons of videos on that.
Was that the sound of a highway that I heard in the background? It took balls to film your pine tar lesson deep in the woods behind the rest area. I found myself looking for a recipe to make Birch tar, and you appeared It was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for what you believe in. How have the skills of 2015 found you well today?
Awesome video. Good explanations.
I loved the video. Does what you don’t use immediately harden being stored in the glass jar?
Any recipes for making this into a salve with say coconut oil etc? Also can you put it in soap somehow?
Great video man, does this stuff really evaporate and burn like candle wax? I would imagine it being too viscose and solid at colder temperatures? Thanks for the info dude I'm going to have a look at this 👍
making tar to brushing your teeth I've watched 4 of your videos i really like you.
This is actually a very good video. Nice work.
Thanks brother
like your hatchet tool. nice job as well.
SOG makes great and affordable products
Newbie question: Since you are sealing the container, isn't there a danger from explosion due to the building up of gasses inside of it?
It has holes in the bottom though
Very good ! Thank you so much for the video.
About your black can whit a wick ...here went I made pine tar it get thick it will not run the wick ...birch oil it is more liquid....
As the comment said pack your contender very well ...here up north Bc it is not as common as the south but we have some
Thank you and do it again so people's will learn it whit the improvement........
Could you use this process even if you dont have a lot of fatwood? Got a few downed pines but very little to no fatwood. Could you substitute fatwood with “green” wood?
Very good video. Appreciate it.
I have that exact same hatchet..When I bought mine it was for throwing too..deadly
Great video 👍👍👍
You just got a new subscriber homie, nice work! Also I spotted your hawkes helllion? I noticed the micarta handles and the handle shape and I used to have one as a teen, and I'm bummed I gave it away (eye roll lmao).
New sub... Enjoyed the video ty for the knowledge
great info thanks for sharing always learning
+Amra survival That is great to hear and thank you as well.
Thanks for the video and information, I live here in the Philippines, is there any other wood beside pine that you can recommend, thanks
Right on. Straight forward and simple. Excellent video.
Really good video.
how much time did it took all the pines to burn and all the tar to be made with out the chopping and getting the pines and etc.?
Excellent. Thank You.
Thanks for the good information
Aw sausages, no subtitles on something I really wanted to learn about because I wanted to make some tar for the fence posts but wanted to know what else you could use it for as well as fuel for light.
what was left in the sealed can? Would the wood left behind make good tender seeing as how it is dried out nicely, or is it more like charcoal?
its charcoal.
Thank you, Billy Corgan
I wonder how much pine tar is found in the needles and if a larger barrel could heat up the fine twigs with needles.
Thanks! Pine tar is quite useful stuff.......
ba a good idea to clean the debris around your burn site and have an fire extinguisher handy
Thank you for this great video, I like your natural approach. Pine tar is awesome stuff.
Hi there, and thanks for the video.
What would you do without a fancy container like that one?
What would you use in a more primitive/survival like situation?
Paguro traduzioni It would be some work but I suppose if you could get some soapstone and carve it into a bowl that would work. Or, make a large clay pot with a removable lid. Metal is definitely the easiest but life is good with challenges.
I'm curious as to why you added the sap wood after getting your fire going. Why not fill the larger container with wood first?
I want to get some pine tar as an ingredient for making grafting wax. I'm happy to find out that it's not the same thing as the pitch you find solidified on tree wounds. Thanks.
Yea you can buy it if you don't feel like making it just to let you know
Yes, I may do that. But making it looks cool, too. Thanks again.
I agree, Always is better and means more when you make things yourself
Does it matter what kind of Pine tree? White, Red, Jack Pine all in my area. Which one is best?
