    Nice technique and seeing the cedar stumps reminded me of when I used to work in a sawmill. I could tell what the wood was just by the smell of it when it was being sawn and when cedar or douglas fir came in it would fill the whole building with an intoxicating smell.
    The only thing which rivaled that was when I was burning heather on a grouse moor (before they started using brush cutters to cut the square shapes out). Back in the day you had to patrol the sides of the burn and beat it with a long stick with rubber flap on the end to keep the burn straight and you always went home smelling like burnt honey - it was a shame to have a shower to wash that smell off.

    • @Zedoutdoors
      @Zedoutdoors  7 лет назад

      Oh wow didn't realise you worked in a sawmill, must have learnt loads in that environment and handled some beautiful woods. Hope all is well your side of the country dude and that you're enjoying the sun ~Peace~

    If you take a short stick , 12" or so , split most of the way. Wrap some cordage around the end ( unsplit part) This is where you hold it. Put the root in it and pull it through. With spruce root I use my thumbnail to finish peeling off the remaining root. Fresh root or soaked in hot water works best for peeling and late spring early summer is best ( for spruce ) . I've never done cedar , gonna give it a try.

    You can't beat putting your root into the grove, everything will burn its all a matter of temperature, Manse is very eloquent and erudite, I didn't mean any harm when I mentioned he might be your GP, just my Lancashire sense of humour - ATB

    might be easier to strip if ceedar roots were wet first. I usually put in water to soften the outer part. Easier to strip.

    • @Zedoutdoors

      Works well for Spruce and Cedar roots, other roots vary in their quality to be use as cordage ~Peace~
