For a repellant I mix birch oil with moisturizing lotion, works for me.

Good bit of info. Thanks mate. Have a good week.

You're welcome buddy You too

I trust a person who has used his own medicine more than I’ll ever trust a government report.

Yes I live at 55 latitude N in birch colony neck I want to try it is to boiling the bark and neck to distill it like I do for essential oil but scare of the mess in my equipment …

Try some alternative gear if that's a concern

Uses: 1. Antiseptic 2. Perfume 3. Soap making 4. Insect repellent 5. Lamp oil 6. Leather and wood treatment 7. Lice, fleas, scabies treatment 8. Wound/burn treatment 9. Skin treatment

Awesome vid as always, Des! A quick question... when you make the oil, is it from recently harvested birch bark or do you use “old” found in the woods as well? Thanks buddy, for all your great vids and keep’em coming!

Thanks mate The bark is always the last to rot but I gather whatever I can find to fill the tin I'm using hope that helps 👍

do i need fresh bark or can i use some form wood on the ground?

I would refrain from using fresh bark as this could damage the tree, but bark of decayed trunks etc will be fine from my own experience

Des, how about coconut oil as a carrier, personally a bit more user friendly!
