2 weeks ago in the BWCA I used melted spruce resin to attach a broken silky saw blade to a stick. Cut a notch in a birch limb insterted the blade then wrapped it with paracord innards. Found an old can to melt some resin and poured it over the lashing and let it harden. Suprisingly it held up to cutting some wrist size limbs for a nice fire. Now i have a primative looking saw as a souvenir of my trip. Good video.

over the weekend, I used some sticky resin as a dressing for a small cut until I got home. I'm honestly in awe at how much good medicine, like this, is just right there if we know what to look for.

My grandfather would collect and use it on the hay bailer belts to keep them from slipping. Kind of like store bought belt dressing. Great video. Hoping to see that salve video. Thanks.

So glad I found this channel!!!

Great tips. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Incredible video! Thank you for the information, I'm going out later today to look!

@@sagesmokesurvival I found some! Going to go back and collect it with a tin of some sorts tomorrow and figure out what I want to do with it

Honestly, I knew all this, but I watched it anyway. Tons of useful info. Gotta say though, that the "l" in "salve" is absolutely silent. Just like "caulk".

Great information... thank you!

Another great video man keep it up 👍

I've never tried it, but I've heard that pine resin makes good chewing gum.

I’ve been cutting into some pine trees near my house to try and get some of the resin. It isn’t working much for me, I’ve tried cutting branches and the body.

If I remember correctly, I think pine trees make more resin in the spring.

Are there any toxic resins to be worried about? Some conifers are more toxic then others when eaten so I am concerned if their resin is also toxic.

Scatt mixed in...I'll stick with ground tinder fibers. Also, gastric acid compromises lignin, yes?

I tried making a salve with a 1:2:2 ratio of resin:castor oil:beeswax and as it cooled, it seemed to separate to a jelly-like substance at the bottom and a waxy layer on top. Are my ratios off?

do you have any ideas of a natural oil/ substance that can prevent rust on tools? is beeswax good? because eventually all of the wd40 will run out, what will we do then? thanks.

May I ask why you use deer poop instead of rabbit poo? You still have the rabbits? Just seems easier to harvest rabbit poop rather than looking for deer poop. Hubby is in the logging industry and he asks for the fat wood logs and stumps when he sees them laying in the woods. I'm not good at making fires and that is a huge help for me.

Dude nearly lit the forest on fire there, careful with that fire.

I think it looked like that torch was closer to the foliage than it actually was.

Makes sense that God is using pines to display His Wonder ~and many healing visions. Thanks

Really? You, mortal creature of dirt, claim to understand God's divine plan and intentions? Blasphemer.
