You can't burn lots of calories and be very physically active while fasting for a whole month, unless you were really fat. If you are active, you can start losing muscle mass while fasting within a couple of days. Eating small amounts of pine, with the sugars and nutrients, will slow that process down. Last thing you want to do in a survival situation is turn down calories or nutrients....unless you plan to just sit under a tree and hope you are found before you starve to death after about 40 days, or a few days with no water. Also, if fasting for extended periods of time you can't jump right into eating regular again, which would not go well if you were in a survival situation and came across a bounty of food.
In Finland We have a long history whit this type of food. When the weather ruined your crop harvest, you would use this and dry it, and ground it up to makesift flour. And we would use it to stretch the bread whit that. If the tomes were really bad, you would use only the tree bark flour to male some sort of bread. Its called Pettu in Finnish.
Hello I'm first Nations from Canada my people have been doing this for generations and generations and generations. Any way to harvest it properly is to harvest it in the spring when the sap is running it would be easier and it tastes sweeter then you dry it then pound it in to a powder and you can make a typical of bread out of the powder that is how we used it.
My 8 year old daughter wanted me to write you thanking you for this video. I have been teaching her not only how to shoot since she was 5 but also survival skills and she watched this video with me and she got all excited telling me we can try this since we have pine trees were we live in northern California. I wanted to ask you if you might be able to give me some advice on any shooting or prepper related skills for children? As a single father i try and teach my daughter everything i can about prepping and how to take care of herself no matter the situation. I always say when i get older i can die happy if i know my daughter knows how to take care of herself if something were to happen be it an EMP or natural disaster. Thank you so so much from the bottom of my heart and my daughters heart for making these videos. You are truly an inspiration to many people
Tree soup is what the old timers called it. That some water steal some hazel nuts and rose hips from the squirrels. Never done it myself but my grandfathers and their friends talked about it.
Good to know. I'd heard of people eating the inner bark of pine trees in emergencies and I knew about boiling pine needles for vitamin C, but I'd never head of pine flour, pine cakes or anything like that. It's always really nice to see someone sharing this sort of information rather than just reviewing products all the time.
I haven't heard about this stuff since survival school back in the seventies. You know I think about it when I'm out in the mountains. I say to my self, I learned how to survive off of trees. And we were happy to have it. Thanks for the great video!
Great advice. In school, you learn about people surviving on "bark bread", but with no explanation. Your video gave a totally different perspective making me want to go out and harvest to make cambium flour.
Just showed my daughter this last weekend when we did a little hike in woods. Not to many folks knows this trick of the trade, I learned it from a Cherokee Indian when I was around 8. Good video to share for those out there that may find them self's Lost.Keep up the good work!
Great advice to those who live in the proper environment. While Arizona _does_ have coniferous pines - the majority of the landscape is hard desert and requires an entirely different set of skills for survival. Out of the limit trees that can be found in the desert, some can be toxic depending on the method of ingestion/exposure. Proper preparation is necessary to avoid any negative side effects. Fun Fact - The Palo Verde is the State tree of Arizona and it is also a lesser known hallucinogen. The pods and seeds are edible and have been used to sustain life for centuries. Excellent video and presentation as always. Both channels never cease to amaze me. Keep up the great work my friend.
Well, that's interesting, never heard of this before. My grocery store is all around me now lol. This video reminded me of Euell Gibbons from many years ago,,he would always say "Many parts of the pine tree is edible" Awesome video Brother, Thumbs up!~John
It can be fried in a skillet with very little oil to make a pine flavored chip. If a storm knocks down a pine tree you have tons of tea, chips, bread, as well as wood and resin for fire and shelter material.
Fry in butter for tasty chips! Not survival food per se, but if you have to fell a pine in your yard it's a tasty snack. Much easier to harvest when you cut the whole tree too.
Should have mentioned the medicinal properties of the sap as far as being anti-septic and can also be used for making a glue when combined with charcoal.
Thanks for the info. Just a quick comment. The cambium layer is the only part of the tree trunk that's alive the bark and heart wood is not. If you cut all around the tree it is called girdling and it will kill the tree. Stay safe eh:)
I love it boiled as pasta !! and the pine needle tea is VERY high in Vitamin C and good to avoid colds in the winter months... great hot tea but too much resin for use as iced tea for me anyway.
Also Thanks for the Olight thumbs up, gave 3 models as gifts, Got Dad S2R with charge dock an extra battery. All of them Love em!!!!! Santa left me S1R, M1X!!!!!
Hey buddy nice video forgot about this cambium stuff, when I was a kid growing up in Michigan we called it Indian gum! I am sorry Native American gum... Merry Christmas
Thank you. The book "Nothing to Envy" says that the North Korean common people were eating the inner bark of pine trees to survive starvation during the 1990s.
hey sootch huge fan recently got a food saver for christmas was wanting ur advice\ideas on things to do with it. i was not able to find a video of yours on it so if you have one let me know if not please make one you have so many awesome sensible prepping ideas i feel the food saver could offer.
Great advice! Thank you Sootch....
Thanks Beth! Hope you guys had a Merry Christmas!
Were working on that in Central Oregon. Love the snow this time of the year....

I learned something new today! Thanks, Sootch!
I've heard that it's best to do this during the fall or Autumn time if you're going to make Pine bark flour is this true? Or does it matter?
In Finland We have a long history whit this type of food. When the weather ruined your crop harvest, you would use this and dry it, and ground it up to makesift flour. And we would use it to stretch the bread whit that. If the tomes were really bad, you would use only the tree bark flour to male some sort of bread. Its called Pettu in Finnish.

This is one of those survival tips that is actually worth knowing! Cheers.
Thanks Badger!

Thanks John. I appreciate you watching
Merry Christmas! May GOD bless you always! GOD bless American long live the Republic!
Thanks Naj! God Bless you Brother!
Adirondack tribe of native Americans were well-know for eating this! Great vid, Sootch!
A little bark on it is ok too. you can slice a border around the section and it will easily peel off in strips. Kind of like eating licorice when raw.
It's so Hard to find people like minded people. Great vids.
Exactly. These people hate God, there’s only a few of us connected to the source
Woo hooo my like put it at 1000! Great video, I make white pine bark tincture for colds and chest congestion. Great stuff!
My mind has just been blown!! This is amazing! 😮
I didn’t know that but isn’t that the joy of RUclips. Thanks a really useful tip.
Thanks for watching!
I've lived in the south all my life and have never heard of this. Definitely gonna try some. Thanks for the info.
Learn something new every day. Great video, Sootch! 👍👊
Wow, great to know. Pine needle tea is great of course. Fatwood, pine nuts....those trees are so valuable.
I remember something about Cambium on dual survival on the discovery channel, but it's been a good several years, thanks for the refresher!
I haven't heard about this stuff since survival school back in the seventies. You know I think about it when I'm out in the mountains. I say to my self, I learned how to survive off of trees. And we were happy to have it.
Thanks for the great video!
Thanks for stopping by Kid!
I can say sensible..almost every video you publish is a learning lesson!
Great advice. In school, you learn about people surviving on "bark bread", but with no explanation. Your video gave a totally different perspective making me want to go out and harvest to make cambium flour.
NoC ... I have heard some of our packaged food has wood fillers. This might be the filler.
Just showed my daughter this last weekend when we did a little hike in woods. Not to many folks knows this trick of the trade, I learned it from a Cherokee Indian when I was around 8. Good video to share for those out there that may find them self's Lost.Keep up the good work!
We’re not Indians. Go to the Middle East for that.
Here in Scandinavia it was a lifesaver to make bread made of this when food was low back in time. Great tip and love your videos.
Thanks for watching and the comment!
Excellent survival info. I'll add it to my mental list. Thanks Scootch !!!

Keep up the great work my friend.
You sir have earned a new subscriber!
I got a spiral I'm filling with bushcraft survival info. This earned a page in that book.
Nice chopper brother! +1 for the many uses of Pine!!
Thank you my friend. Hope all is well!
SensiblePrepper all is well here brother. I moved the family out to a few acres in Alabama and we're working towards a completely off grid homestead.
Never thought I’d ever watch this on youtube but I gotta say that it actually looks delicious.
This is great... Been waiting for you to make a wild edibles vid!!!
Thanks for watching Brother!
Well, that's interesting, never heard of this before. My grocery store is all around me now lol. This video reminded me of Euell Gibbons from many years ago,,he would always say "Many parts of the pine tree is edible" Awesome video Brother, Thumbs up!~John
For all I know you just potentially saved my life. Great video!
Thanks Tristan!
Learned something new. Never too old, I guess. Thanks
Thanks that’s a awesome tip. Man you just never know you lose or use all your food, this tip saves you one more day! Thanks
Thanks Daniel!
It can be fried in a skillet with very little oil to make a pine flavored chip. If a storm knocks down a pine tree you have tons of tea, chips, bread, as well as wood and resin for fire and shelter material.
Thanks for the comment C!
Great video! I grew up on a farm with a ton of pine woods and had no idea. Definitely going to try
Mmmmm...yummy. I love a plate of cambium with a cup of pine needle tea.
Most people will be busy looking under logs for big macs when SHTF walking right past this resource, thanks sootch
You're probably right : ) Thanks Brother!
Lol so true
Great reminder. This food source is overlooked by most people
Thanks for watching!
Awesome knowledge sootch! Always wondered on winter options
Thanks for stopping by Brother!
Fry in butter for tasty chips! Not survival food per se, but if you have to fell a pine in your yard it's a tasty snack. Much easier to harvest when you cut the whole tree too.
I did this as a kid growing up in the SC summers.
Lost of pines in the Carolinas! Thanks Reynoldo!
Great video, Sootch. At a reenactment of a Soviet Army camp, I ate some pine and birch bread.
Thanks Brother! Sounds like fun.
Good to see foraging on this channel
Great information! Thank you Sootch!
Should have mentioned the medicinal properties of the sap as far as being anti-septic and can also be used for making a glue when combined with charcoal.
This was only about it being edible. There's a lot more that Pines offer that we'll get into.
thank you for the video
Thanks for the info. Just a quick comment. The cambium layer is the only part of the tree trunk that's alive the bark and heart wood is not. If you cut all around the tree it is called girdling and it will kill the tree. Stay safe eh:)
Thanks Rodd! I appreciate the comment.
Ty for the info sootch keep up the good work. Gods blessings on you and yours in the new year.
Thanks John! God Bless you my friend.
Great video, please do more like this on using plants to eat and survive.
Plenty of that here in SC! Thanks for the video Don
Love your vids!! Keep up the great work!
Great information Sootch. Thanks for sharing and MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄!!!
Merry Christmas to you Jack!
Great video!!! Long live the republic...
I love it boiled as pasta !! and the pine needle tea is VERY high in Vitamin C and good to avoid colds in the winter months... great hot tea but too much resin for use as iced tea for me anyway.
Pine Bark is used to treat erectile dysfunction, which is not a problem and is certainly not a problem since I started taking pine bark supplements.
Thanks for the video Sooch.
Great video as always, Sootch!
Thanks Brother!
Great video sootch.
Thanks Walt!
It has kind of a pine flavor to it. LOL. Thanks for the video you can always trust an older Father Figure type of guy they would not lead you wrong
Great information. This is the firat I heard of it.
Great info, thanks!
Thanks Brother!
Excellent tip. Never knew about that! Thanks!
Awesome tip!!!!! Good to know and thanks for sharing!
Thanks Carlos!
huh, that's cool. Learn something new every day.
Hey brotha sootch. Remember, since youtube has stopped monetization you have to improvise to survive. As you have been. Keep it up
Learned from this one, thank Sootch
Can't wait to get and try it out
Great survival tip. Thanks.
Thanks Nick!
that you sir for helping humanity to survive post 2030
Great survival tip!
Thanks Michael!
hi: i heard you can eat leaves of legum such as pigeon peas and peanut leaves. Should you puree it and make it into a flour to be palatable?
Great video! More like this would be nice
Thanks Mike!
I once saw in a website where they fried these in strips. Looks like there is a video about it too.
Just finished up target 22 build with Boyd stock, Christmas gift. . Thx Sootch.
Sounds like a joyful Christmas! Thanks Brian
Also Thanks for the Olight thumbs up, gave 3 models as gifts, Got Dad S2R with charge dock an extra battery. All of them Love em!!!!!
Santa left me S1R, M1X!!!!!
Happy New Year All,
from Molalla, Oregon
True, you don't want to go all the way around. That's known as "girdling", and it will kill the tree.
Thank you for this very valuable information
Hey buddy nice video forgot about this cambium stuff, when I was a kid growing up in Michigan we called it Indian gum! I am sorry Native American gum... Merry Christmas
Thanks Scott!
Awesome tip. Could save a life. Thanks for sharing. God Bless
Love these kind of video's! Keep them coming God Bless
Thanks Sean!
Great information!
I can advocate on the discovery
You referenced pine needle tea. They say don’t use ponderosa pines. I wonder if the same holds true to cambium?
Thank you. The book "Nothing to Envy" says that the North Korean common people were eating the inner bark of pine trees to survive starvation during the 1990s.
Thanks Laura, That's interesting and I'm sure happening today.
Good video, as always.
Thanks Highfive!
WOW. I never knew this! Zombie Apocalypse I'm ready! LOL
Excellent video, you've gain a subscriber

Useful information. How would fiber cause constipation? Could you render it down to a soup?
Very interesting for sure could you do a few more wild editables videos thanks
Thanks for the share ✌🏽️🎬
Thanks for the great tip
Thank you, very informative!
Love your videos brother I've heard alot about people making pine needle tea but I had never heard the Cambium was edible
Interesting. I've never seen this. Thanks

Pineneedls make a great tea
