This is the most comprehensive and clear video on locating and processing fatwood I've seen. Thx! Will add this to my birch bark fire skills for sure 🤜🔥🤛
Having a bad day? TH-cam with bushcraft tools has solved your troubles by bring you adorable British Dude and dog (Amber). Seriously, I grew up in the woods in Oregon and learned this stuff as I went but suddenly 25 years later I actually care about it again because of this guy. Please don't read this as sarcasm, yah boy does great work. Like and subscribe and comment like mad. Someone who cares this much should be at the top of the algorithm.
@@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS any time. It takes a lot of guts to put what you love out there for everyone to scrutinize. Too many people silence themselves. Keep doing what you're doing it's inspiring.
Great educational and informative video on finding fatwood and how to use. Had a great sound to it when you tapped it, almost like glass. In a kind of way it's like finding amber in the wood, just not as old. Great vid Dustin and enjoyed. Thanks.
Great video bud! Thanks for sharing the knowledge and the explanations, this's awesome! I love fatwood, I'm always carrying it in my fire bag, great resource!
Tree sap and fatwood are my favorites. I always have a lot of pitch ointment with me and it's good against injuries, sprains, cracks and splinters in the skin, a perfect companion even for making a fire. Made from resin from conifers with lard or olive oil and beeswax in a ratio of 4 parts resin, 2 parts oil and 2 parts beeswax. There are sure to be many recipes on the internet
Reminds me of all the experiments we did years back. You should do a video covering all those random other things we tried for tinder, like shavings from your jeans or the back of a door panel in the car.
Xoxo, love demonstrating firelighting with fatwood to ppl and then showing them photos of the decaying trunks I got it from 😂 *sound of dropping jaws hitting the floor*
Excellent instructional video. Great presentation. Did you script it before shooting the video? There obviously are portions that can’t be adequately scripted and ad libbing is the best way to handle it but even then, you stayed on point and gave superb explanations along with the visual content.
For your next trip think about taking flour tortillas. Easy to pack in a gallon plastic bag which can be placed in a pack flat or rolled up unlike bread.
I was just in the woods finding fatwood and I swear I thought to myself that the pile I have in my back yard would make Dustin at Bushcraft Tools proud😂
I wish I had watched this video before I went out this week looking for fat wood for the first time, I spent ages looking in living pine tree 🤦♂️ I found a little (i think 🤷♂️) always learning 😊🤙 Dong Dipper P.S your videos are awesome 👌
nice one dustin very good video on how to gather fat wood .this will save a lot of people from buying it off ebay now they have been showed where to look for it ....give amber a tickle for me and stay safe mate take care be happy and have loads of fun ..until the next one DONT FORGET TO LIKE SHARE SUBSCRIBE AND HIT THE NOTIFICATION BELL FOLKS ...NEVER MISS ANOTHER VIDEO OR LIVE STREAM....
How is it possible that I can’t get the fatwood scrapings to catch a spark? I’m throwing good sparks and fine scrapings from the back of my knife… any help?
Very educational. Can I ask you to do a video about the same subject only with apsolutely no tools. Imagine you survived a plane crash and you didn't have any tools on your person. You need fire to survive in a mountainous area. Let's also imagine it was a damp climate like Ireland and 90% of the time things are damp or wet. So no tools and everything is damp or wet. I'm just interested to see techniques to survive a situation like that when you weren't prepared for it, have no tools on your person but need to survive.
FYI, you can find fatwood in any coniferous tree (Spruce,Pine, Fir). It is just not as potent in Fir and Spruce as these trees don't have as much pitch as a Pine.
i carry some in my packs nice and dry. just in case. people get lost and die hiking in california. eve when i go look for gold. i have a couple of pieces. have a good day boss.
I usually find the richest fat wood deposits in roots and stumps and only moderate deposits in limb joints, but sometimes I will luck into an above-average deposit in a joint. I’ve been wondering if how much resin a tree produces is in it genes, and I’m not sure yet of the answer. If true, it means if I find a great deposit in one joint, then I should harvest all knots in that tree, and if I find a mediocre deposit, then I should probably save my time and move onto the next tree. What do you think? I’ve also wondered where it was better to check a tree. Is there likely to be more fat wood at the tree top or base? The underside of a fallen tree and it doesn’t matter? I don’t know.

Thanks for watching 🔥
This is a great video. For a second I actually thought I could smell the Fatwood while you were cutting into it. Nice work!

You are not alone in that response lol.👃
Very interesting and well presented video mate 👍
Beautiful axe
Best, most concise description of what fatwood is. Good overall video and camera shots as well.
THANKS for a good demonstration of fatwood from sourcing to prepping to firing.

Thank you, you channel is amazing. Love you mate. From the states
Wow thank you

Thanks for resin recipe. I’ll try it.
Be careful not to set your fingers on fire when starting a fire with pine resin.
tips make a great and refreshing tea too.I used to curse forestry,but if things go ties up then it becomes a resource,and saves using hardwoods
Well done. Educational
Thanks for watching
Nice video. Thanks for the great content. Really enjoyed the multiple angle and close up footage.
Great informative video mr Dustin! I’m going to go out on a fatwood mission soon after watching this
Hope you’re well mate

Danny
🔥🔥🔥
good one
Brilliant Video mate... great axe, what is the make of your axe ?
Thanks!!!!🪵🪓🪤✝️💜🙏🌎🕊️🕯️😎👍
En México se le llama OCOTE. Y es buenísimo para iniciar un fuego.
How long will fatwood last after cutting it and processing it into kindling and parts for bow saw.
That was a great find. I love using Fairwood it’s my favorite way to start a fire. Hope all is well. 🔥😁
Great film I am looking forward to getting back in the woods to find some.
Is the wood yours?
That's a nice jacket. What brand is it? Good video. Thanks.
subbed, Happy New Year
Very good Dustin, Greg in Kentucky 👍🏻
👍🔥👍

Should have a link in the description for the folding saw.
Excelente.
Withs model is that ax?
Regards 👋🏼
Check my Instagram for details
Dustin - could you do an axe and knife sharpening masterclass please? Struggling with both 😕
That's a great idea👍👍
instead of pine tree, what other tree produced fatwood?
What species of pine is that? It looks alot like our cedar
I am in America and would love to know about the saws you use do you sell them?
where i live we d ont have pine trees but we have conifers and other ever green trees, will that work too or does it have to be pine trees?
no answer.... :'(
I wish I had watched this video before I went out this week looking for fat wood for the first time, I spent ages looking in living pine tree 🤦♂️ I found a little (i think 🤷♂️) always learning 😊🤙 Dong Dipper
P.S your videos are awesome 👌
Thanks, Dustin, subscribed. That's a mighty nice axe you have there, where did ya get it? :)
I've done this and watched other videos. When I cut the pine tree there's never any fat wood. I have to be doing something wrong. Any suggestions?
Also use resin filled bark
nice one dustin very good video on how to gather fat wood .this will save a lot of people from buying it off ebay now they have been showed where to look for it ....give amber a tickle for me and stay safe mate take care be happy and have loads of fun ..until the next one

It's always cheaper to find your own!! Cheers👍🔥
yay for fatwood! :D
So is it just pine that fat wood is in? Or can it be found in other species?
It can be found in other species as well.
What saw you use there
Silky
I always pocket a few pieces of a fatwood when going out into the woods. I find myself using it almost every time.
Tell me about it! 🔥🔥🔥
What saw is he using? anyone help me?
It's a silky saw
What brand is the axe you use?
It's by fadir tools 👍
How is it possible that I can’t get the fatwood scrapings to catch a spark? I’m throwing good sparks and fine scrapings from the back of my knife… any help?
When are you going to sell those hatches?
Maybe one day....watch this space!!
I would totally buy one, possibly two...
@@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS I'm always watching yours and TA's channel. The only time I can comment is when I'm at work using the companies computer.
2:06 here comes the Silky!
What kind of dog do you have?
That was literally one of the prettiest pieces of fatwood I've seen on YT...
Seems really weird to type that out and read it back
Nice, haven't thought of using my saw as a scraper
That's a nice axe man where did you get it can I ask?
Check out fadir tools
@@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS I will indeed thanks
It sure beats buying it by the bag or box at the hardware store!

why did you scrape the rock at the end
then the best, absolute, is the resin, but if you put an oxidizer, like rust, its even better
Hit the gold their love fat wood and maya dust ace stuff for in a rush

LOVE me some good fatwood !!!!!!!
Awesome, if you cant find fat wood, in these days you can always soak your used face mask in hand sanitizer, works perfect to start a fire;-)
Hi dustin , actually I've just found a lot of fat wood in a pallet I broke up 🤗💥💥🔥👍
Great find 👍🔥
Pine cones
i love to go out hunting for fat wood
