Spruce Bark Tips For Harvest And First Aid

- This video is in response to a request to show how I harvest Spruce bark. Spruce bark (inner bark) can be eaten in an emergency. It is nutritious. Also I show how to use spruce bark as a band-aid as well as using the spruce resin to help keep infection from becoming a problem in a cut or injury.

Great information on wilderness first aid Lonnie. I hope I never have to use it, but it's nice to know that spruce is an option if needed.
Thanks,
Roosevelt
very interesting, thanks for putting this info out. :)
Great to see you again Lonnie, excellent instruction. Will hopefully be heading out to do some remote camping by canoe in the wilderness next week and will definitely bring this advice along with me.
Howdy,Lonnie. great first-aid in deedFather & I had an apisode 1 hunting trip,not a real bad cut,but Paw set to getting some sap for my small cut.I had to fashion the bandana around the cut,'till we got back to camp. yes it was a bit messy,now I have another reminder of the wonderful hunting trip spent out all day.scars are great story telliers. Thanks Again For Sharing This Great Vid.

Thanks for the video
awesome, thanks for sharing!
Good stuff!! Going to try that out on my next boo-boo!!
Greetings, Did not know about this. Thanks. And here is hoping no one needs to use the info. pax
Thanks for the info. Not only is the sap good for injury, sap / pitch is also good for fire starting. Think you did a video on that as well. Really like your posts!
That's good to hear. From what I understand the plants in that family that are used to repel mosquitoes are heavily concentrated, permethrin and citronella. So, making a stronger infusion might be the way to go as permethrin certainly works
One thing about that test I did is the following day the bug bites I got did not itch nearly as much and there was no redness or swelling, so, perhaps the Yarrow works to heal the bites.
Take care, and it's good to see you making videos again.
Roosevelt
thanks
My dad told me to check you out, I'm into bushcraft and survival tactics. I'm a hildre.
Man I love your videos... for some reason you look familiar... I too live in South Central... if I ever see you around town I hope you wont mind if I come up to you and shake your hand. I'll be putting the things I have learned from you to good use. It's great having someone that lives here share the knowledge of the land I grew up in. thanks again
Father & his Brother always conjuring up something.some times at my expense,Here Lets give it a try on the 'yungin,see if works? don't know how many times I heard that growing-up.sure glad the lady got the help she needed in time. T.T.F.N.
Thanks man, another piece of knowledge , which is always great. I know you can take the twigs from a birch and make a tea from them, to actually act as a energy boost. So i read lol.
I have eaten birch inner bark and wow that is nasty raw. lol I have heard fir, spruce, pine also has eatable inner bark. Great vid man, that is a vid that should be seen. wild eatables is always good to know.
my grandma showed me this im from new brunswick canada she would be 110 years old and it worked for them
welcome back! i like your hat, where did you get it? currently shopping for one in anchorage.
The trouble with doing this (excellent idea) is that if you've cut yourself, it'll be mighty hard to find and harvest the bark for the bandaid, plus it has to be spring when the sap is running, eh.
Yes it would need to be Spring or the first half of the summer,
lol then again, i dont get a boost from energy drinks either lol.I'll have to try it sometime and see what happens.
Can you make baskets out of the bark? Why is it not common?
Yes you can but around here, birch bark is much more favored for it's ease of working with. I have never tried to make any closed vessel using spruce bark but I wonder about the ability to make holes in the bark for "sewing" the seams together. I do know that spruce bark is quite durable.
What kind of spruce trees can you eat this inner bark from?
I knew I could eat it. But never knew it was a bandaid I have a question can old man beard grow on a tree fallin down
I do often find it on down trees but I do not think that it will continue to grow there. In other words, I believe it will die off. The humidity is different on a tree laying on the grtound then from a tree that is still standing. Because of that different level of humidity, there will be different lichens and fungi that will begin to grow on the fallen tree. That change in environment will eventually displace the old mans beard.
+Far North Bushcraft And Survival that's what I was scared of bc I seen you eat it but if other things grow with it I may get sick.
