Hi, very interesting video! I ate pine bark raw, roasted over an open fire or fried like potato chips, but I'm does not made flour from it yet. In the forest are a lot of uprooted trees after whirlwind, so I try it. Thanks for the tip. Honza
Great video mate, I'm subscribed...but, could you please show the roasting technique and maybe "make a bread" or something with the flour as well. I knew this type of flour existed and it could really be a game changer for northern based survivalists but I, and I suspect many others as well, have never seen the selection-collection-processing-cooking process in full. It could be a winner of a video for you if you make it first. Love your work mate and good luck with the channel.
my husband and i loved what you did.i would have liked to see how you did it.you were to far away.we like to learn how to use the pine tree,we live in arkansas. i tried the tree,it had no flavour,
Olisi ollut mielenkiintoista nähdä tuo paahtovaihe ja miltä näyttää ja millä pihka otetaan pois liinasta ja minkä näköinen liina on paahtamisen jälkeen.
Thank you so much for this beautiful video. Can I ask if you sell this product at all? I would love to purchase some. Also if I were to forage for some myself, can you please tell me what taste do I look/ look out for? Thanks again!
Ikka's answer somewhere here: "Hello. I think You are not very familiar with Finnish forests in areas where I live? =) That´s ok. I can explain; I live in the middle of woods with my family. We use trees for warming our house and also almost everything I build here, I build with trees I cut down by myself. In Finland we know how to harvest woods so, that the forest still goes on and grows. Actually the woods are growing faster than we harvest them. I know that this is not the way to act in many other places in world and that´s why I every now and then get messages about "killing trees" and "destroying nature" etc. But I understand that, totally. It´s surely difficult to understand how we really act here, if you have never even visit here. Pine I cut down in this video, went in full use. Bark for flour and wood for warming my family´s food. Cutting down with axe and carrying to my home by myself. No pollutions, no electricity, no oil, just me carrying the wood. I think quite a many trees is saved and a lot of nature is still in great condition, because there are still people who takes their warmth, food and shelter STRAIGHT from the nature. The birch I collect the bark in this video, is still growing and is in exellent condition. There is a certain way to collect birch from birch that does not make any harm for the tree itself. I have in my yard many birches, I´ve collect bark over 15 years ago and they are in perfect condition. I hope this answer makes thing a bit clearer. And if there is something You want to ask about this way of living, be free to do it. =) I wish You all the best! -ilkka"
If you strip bark from a tree it kills it anyway (except birch, see the author's reply) so you might as well cut it down. Trees have many uses including fire wood. Sounds like they know how to take care of their forests in Finland. Gifford Pinchot, first head of Forestry in U.S. knew how to do this (sustainable forestry) but apparently was not successful in making the idea stick.
@@SeganHealthHacker Honestly after this pandemic happens that person will be thanking you for saving their life from starvation one day. I believe we are about to see some major famine in the world if China is too greatly effected by a virus, just economic collapse globally. People should be very aware of what they can do to stay alive through hungry times. I for one thank you - if it comes to that. I thank you for passing information along that could really help someone someday in a pinch. I had no idea.
Aren't you basically eating wood? How can that be good for the human body? I know people eat pine nuts in foods but those are soft and seem digestible. How can wood be digestible? I think I'll stick to grain & nut flours for now. But I won't discount the idea of any survival foods, if ever needed. Wood just seems harsh. My Dad was a woodworker & woodshop teacher, and I used to like how the air smelled of cut pine. But I don't remember ever thinking, "Hey, that smells good enough to eat." Who knew? Interesting info.
Within the pine cone are what are called pinyons which are small nuts like sesame seeds (sometimes they can grow larger and longer than a peanut) which is great option for you. The pinyons are seasonal though and you will find that the pine cone starts out closed up. You need to bake it over a fire to get the tines to separate out and you will discover a "fly's wing" behind every tine. Pull the wing out and on the end of it you will find your nut! Tastes great, protein and filling! Unfortunately it is seasonal but when those cones are in season, those nuts will definitely satisfy! On the pine bark, the best cooking method I have seen so far is a combination of frying/semi-boiling until they become browned & crispy. Then they are like chips Also keep in mind this is NOT wood, its cambium which is a sort of membrane that is used to funnel nutrition throughout the tree (360 degrees around) and therefore nutritional value is high.

When harvesting birch bark or pine, please don’t cut all the way around the tree because it can kill them. I see people do this to birch and they usually have a very hard time recovering. Other than that, amazing video!
The guy killed 2 trees making this video.he could have skinned the birch just on one side so it could have continued to live. Once you take the bark off all the way around the tree can no longer take up water.
Godsrealwaveoftruth actually, as long as you take only the outer bark of a birch, as he did, it'll survive, because the inner bark is still intact. now, it'll be more prone to disease and damage without its protective outer bark, but only on one side or all around wouldn't make much of a difference. most any other tree you wouldnt be able to separate the outer bark like that and you'd be right, but you can with birches.

Thanks, more people need to learn this.
my husband and i loved what you did.i would have liked to see how you did it.you were to far away.we like to learn how to use the pine tree,we live in arkansas. i tried the tree,it had no flavour,
Americans could learn much from the Finnish regarding land stewardship. Thank you for your video.
Killing 2 trees for a meal is stewardship?
Olisi ollut mielenkiintoista nähdä tuo paahtovaihe ja miltä näyttää ja millä pihka otetaan pois liinasta ja minkä näköinen liina on paahtamisen jälkeen.
What taste do you mean? Are some pine trees poisonous in Finland?
Thank you so much for this beautiful video. Can I ask if you sell this product at all? I would love to purchase some. Also if I were to forage for some myself, can you please tell me what taste do I look/ look out for?
Thanks again!
I can sell you pine bark, if you need it. Also, the inner bark, as well, if you're still interested.
How much would you want for a pound of your home made pine flour
I just wanted to see the bread being made from this
Love this! Thank you!
Must try... thanks for sharing!
You should redo this video with the new tech of today - what a difference 5 years make! And add the bread recipe. :-)
You're right. I'll try to find some time to make a new video and I will add bread making in it too.
@@hurulumpsis1088 Ok then I'll Subscribe to make sure I get it! (Feel the pressure?) 🙃
I thought the whole idea of using pine was because u can strip of a thin layer w/o killing it. But u chopped that tree dwn & wasted the rest of it
No

Hey, Justice 60! Actually that's not wood. It's inner layer of bark.
If you eat taco bell at all, you've eaten tree.

Ilkka Seikku Hello Ilkka could you please reply to message I left on Facebook concerning Bushprowler many thanks and excellent video my friend
Shane
Godsrealwaveoftruth you owe an apology. man up and apologize man
@@hurulumpsis1088 Good thing it was (so well) clarified. Thank you for sharing this nature wisdom with us.
2 trees dead for a video? C'mon. If you know to make this than you know better stewardship than this too.
