Gransfors Bruk Wildlife Hatchet Fatwood Foraging
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 май 2020
- Lately I have been having a bunch of camp fires...and everytime I start my fire it is using FATWOOD...but for some reason I have been using pre-processed and store-bought sources. In this video I head out to the woods with my Gransfors Bruk Wildlife Hatchet to search around and forage for fatwood sources. I had some reasonable success and started my fire, learned some lessons, and go to play with my gear!

If the tree died in the winter when all the sap would be in the tree trunk and not in the branches and needles. What you are looking for is a dead tree where all the sap was still in the trunk and roots of the pine tree. I always liked to find a tree stump that had been in the ground for a few years, allowing any remaining sap to crystallize.
Excelents advisements
Really hope you have learned more about fat wood since you made this video Dead pine heart wood and the stump is where the fat wood is located in bunches
Awesome..!! Thanks for the CLASS...👍
It went fairly well...Still learning and on the hunt to find that sweet find!
Good video. I know you always have more than one option with you. Thanks for the hatchet review. & good Fatwood Foraging.
I found some...I hope to learn more and find larger sources. It was definitely enough to get a few fires started though.
Good learning experience Eric and good lessons for all who watch. For me in Australia going for the base of felled trees or even dead standing around the the upper roots has worked in the past, I hope that helps. Thanks for the video mate, always appreciated.
I searched some root areas off camera with no luck...I thought the roots would be the key find, but not yet. I'll keep searching!
G'day, I'm in Aus too, are you talking about pines in general or have you found something similar in our native hardwoods?
I am certainly not an expert but I know enough to be dangerous.
🤣🤣 Best thing I've heard all day! You're a righteous dude. 👍
I wish I found better sources...glad to at least find what I did, but I just couldn't find substantial sources. Thanks for watching!
This was pretty cool. Seen plenty of people use fatwood in vids but not really seen it harvested before. Seems trickier than is usually made out
It was tough...I think i was on the right track, but I just need to find that larger source...maybe closer to the roots? Practice and patience I guess!
Dude, Unless you're in a Fatwood harvested area, Forget the branches! The Famous GEORGIA FAT LIGHTER came from STUMPS. Go to the stump end of downed pines and work up from there. There will be straight grained Fat lighter in the center. The reason Heart of Pine board floors are so valued is because that is the hardest part of the live pine, and over time the residual sap hardens. Fresh sawnn unfinished boards, it can be burnished into a s super shiny and very durable surface. Now, when you are out in the pine woods and you trip on a piece of very hard wood sticking up, you've probably found a stump. Dig my boy for it will be a gnarly golden amber and red mass of twisted fat lighter you should cherish.
I need to spend more time looking at the stumps. I did go back a second time in this video to look at stumps but yielded nothing and decided to scrap the footage because the video was too long. But yes, I am interested in investigating stumps.
@@outerlimitless I was on the woods last weekend and photographed what I mean, but have no idea how to send the photos or append them here. BTW, I read my post and it came off a bit "smart-ass". That was not intended.
Great video, been looking at getting a new hatchet, ive been checking out the Tops Hammer hawk thoughts?
Personally the TOPS Grandpa's axe has really impressed me. Comfortable, hits HARD and chops much larger than its size. Full tang, and a good fit for my needs. Sheath is a bit lacking, but definitely functional.
Try looking for a pine stump, I can usually find good fatwood there.
Young man learning firemaking is awesome!
Yeah, I struggled with the pine stump...couldn't yield anything worth filming unfortunately . I like passing this onto my kids...they do enjoy it and have learned a lot in a short amount of time!
so whats your opinion of the wildlife hatchet?
I have their forest axe small forest axe and wildlife hatchet love them all persons easy to sharpen to scary sharp comes really sharp great looking.
They are almost intimidating sharp! Amazing equipment!
I just came across your channel and I did subscribe.... so seeing how you get out and use your tools I greatly appreciate your opinion. I was going to buy a hatchet but thought I'd rather a decent large knife instead.... for now. Can you recommend 1 or 3 in the 200 ish range
What's your typical task for a knife? Belt knife, survival class? Chopper? What you think you'll be using it for mostly?
@@outerlimitless i have a Scandinavian forest axe so need something smaller and I carry a Bradford guardian 3 so need something bigger for camping clearing small vines and branches processing small firewood making stakes. I was going to get a small hatchet but feel a large knife is more versatile. I just don't have experience with any. I think esse 6 ish or larger.....
as an aside, the only suggestion I'd offer is to remove the hatchet head after the strike into the wood at the same angle it went into the wood, without twisting the hatchet. GB hangs their heads onto the handles super close and tight, but why tempt fate by loosening it unnecessarily?
I twist and torque on all my tools...all bladed tools, and hatchets and axes alike. To be honest, I spend HUGE money on my tools and I just use them...bend em, chip em, break em...if it happens to break it will definitely be a bummer, but I will accept the outcome. I do understand your point...and if it were a "survival" scenario I would definitely be more careful overall.
Great vid, IMHO failures can be just as or if not more educational than successes. Your next time out will be much more efficient than this one. Well done!
Thank you...I like to truly demonstrate how things go. I would LOVE to hit the jackpot...but reality prevails! Thanks for watching!
There is not a lot of work if you know what you’re doing I hope that you have learned what fat wood is and where to find it dead trees and stumps is where to start
I think.... pocketboy would have worked better hehe
To utilize fat lighter, you bash it to break into fibrous 'shavable' strips. Yes, the central heart is where the resin concentrates. Gravity impacts the lightening killed trees and they make the best fat lighter stumps.
FYI...you lose me running ads in the middle of your videos...I have enjoyed much of your content. Thanks, This particular video ran about 3 minutes and popped up a 5 minute ad...then again just minutes later another ad. I’m all for you making money for your content, I’m even a patron on some channels. I’m to the point that when an ad pops up in the middle of a video...It’s just frustrating enough that Im off to other videos...Just Say’n
I hear you...I'm not sure what happened on this one...for some reason this video had more ads than I intended and it ran differently than I expected. I went back in and edited it...that was my fault...and thanks for the comment. I do appreciate it.
You can literally skip the ad in 5 seconds, quit crying about trivial things...Just Say’n
Something tells me that it’s not worth explaining...as they say”Ignorance is bliss “...Just Say’n
@@dlrmon1 have your cake and eat it too big guy.
I usually hear that accent and assume the person probably doesn't know much about axes.
I'll come back to the video later.
What accent is that?
@@rmf9567 I'm afraid a lot of Americans like to make videos on subjects they know very little about.
Honestly, have to agree with you. It’s not just Americans, it is everywhere. RUclips has become a cesspool for unreliable and dangerous information. 👍😃
There is a gentleman that makes excellent videos that lives in my state. (Far north Bush Craft and survival) check him out
Do you know a lot about the forest living in UK.
