Fatwood and Ferro

By processing down your fatwood into shavings, it is easily started with a Ferrocerium Rod.

I didn't realize how hard it can be to get wood to catch fire until we switched to burning hardwood in our fireplace instead of compressed logs.
Fatwood burns steadily enough to get it to light. Nice to know it'll take a spark, too.

Hey John! Just wondering where do you source your fatwood? Can you source it in the wild in Australia or do you have to buy it? Thanks mate and loving your videos!

I have got it from a pine plantation at Belangalo state forest but it's much easier to pick up a bag at Bunnings. Appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching.

@@OutdoorAcademyAustralia Awesome! Will give Bunnings a try. Thanks for the reply!
