Wasn't aware of the 45 degree angle to find better Fatwood. Always grateful to those that teach me something. As for camping on a frozen bay...you are a better man than I, Gunga Din.
So now I realize I have six acres of fat wood and have been using it for years. But didn’t know about the shaving. Great video, I can’t stop smelling freshly exposed fat wood either.
I burn firewood all winter. As I’m splitting I encounter fat wood and have made a stash as I don’t burn it in the wood stove. I probably have a half chord of the stuff. I keep a couple pieces in my day pack and some in my truck tool box also. Pitch works well also to start a fire in the rain, I usually grab some of the hardened balls as they pack well.
@@hardwatercamper I know exactly where Bridgetown is....about hour or bit more drive away from my town of, Bridgewater. Welcome to the Maritimes friend !! 💯👍🤝
Thanks for posting! I appreciate you taking us through the whole process of what to look for how to find prep and use it. Can’t wait to get out there and try.
Anytime Issac. Thank you for taking an interest. Cheers brother. I literally just used a piece of this very fatwood tonight at a cabin my wife rented for my birthday weekend of ice fishing. It really does work well and is easy to find.
new here i think i found some the other day. We have some scotch pine. This harvest and process is helpful. Smashed the red button. I just started wood stove with some fatwood in my last video. Nice stuff hardwater camper. Have a great week
Glad to hear it :) It really is great stuff and goes a long way. I always keep 1 or 2 sticks in my fire starting kit and it never let's me down. You enjoy your week as well.
Very impressive video!!!! Xoxoxoxoxo Here in Ohio we are having problems with permits to collect our Natures Gold!!!!All the state parks now are banning even getting firewood for camping!!!!Go figure!!!
Thank you. We actually have pretty strict laws in all of our provincial and national parks as well. Luckily we do have access to unlimited Crown land. I always thought that America had this same access? ...... public land! Thank you for taking an interest.
It's happening allover the developed world , leaders and the rich are buying up all the land and selling the resources whilst banning the rest of us from using earth's free resources .
GREAT video Sir!! You did a fantastic job 👏🏻 I love making the videos when out exploring and find the editing side od things relaxing also. Gotta love a bit of fatwood!! My favourite tinder. Ive thrown you a Subscribe from my channel mate to support your channel. Will check out some more of your vids too bud 👍🏻 Hope you're well and having a great week. Take care, keep safe and keep enjoying the great outdoors friend 😊👍🏻✌🏼❤
Thank you. My axe is a Scandinavian forest axe made by gransfors bruks. I purchased it at my favorite store on planet. It's called " The Canadian Outdoor Equipment Company " and is located in Mississauga, Ontario.
I figured fatwood would be from some kind of fancy tree way down south in mexico and areas like that. Didnt realize I have potentially hundreds of pounds of it sitting around my house waiting to be found. Going to go looking for some dead tree limbs and stumps.
Not too sure how I came about this channel, but greetings from West Palm Beach Florida! Thanks for the great information.

That's called butchering not processing
Wat?@@thethiefonthecross9092

Thanks for the 45 degree angle broken limbs tip, never thought about that.

That's a great analogy 🙌
Thank you

Nice haul! Fatwood is king!!!
Don’t put yourself down! Excellent video, very informative.
Love it. I'm off to find some in the forest tomorrow. Great video.
Thank you.
Thank you for clearly explaining what fatwood is and how to harvest it. Great video 👍
Thank you. I appreciate 🙏 your words
Great video covering a great fire starter. Thanks for the content!
Thank you. I really appreciate it.

Keep up the good work ... nice to see someone put out an honest vid..
You got this brother, just have fun!
Just found you while checking out videos on fatwood processing. Happy to subscribe.
Thank you for taking an interest. Cheers 🍻
Great video
Thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing this video, keep it up . . .
The only place I've been able to find fatwood is the outdoor section of my local Home Depot store! Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Thank you. 🙏
I appreciate it
😂😂😂
Almost as fun to watch as it is to do. Fatwood is probably my favorite smell, even better than cedar.
Ok, I am going out there and getting some for myself!
Chaga and Fatwood what could be better😊
Great video!
Thank you. Much appreciated
great info thanks
Anytime
Thats really neat! 👍ty
Thanks for watching. Fatwood is probably the best natural tinder you can get. Works very well. I always keep a stick or 2 in my firekit at all times.

None provided in local campground these past 2 years in sask. Canada..not one stick...not too surprising..kids couldn't play on swings either...

I have red pine on my woodlot. I will look for fat wood in the morning. Thanks
I see you spent the money for the high-end axe. Hope the RUclips thing works out for you.
Thank you. That axe was stolen from me out of my truck. Now I have the bigger version of same axe 🪓
What can you put on lighter not to seal the sap from coming out other than superglue?

Thank you. I appreciate it. Fatwood is definitely my go to tinder as well.
@@hardwatercamper Good stuff.. Im actually going to try and find some more on Friday I think in a local Pine Forest 💯🤞🏻
Good video! Where'd you get that ax?
Thank you.

Have fun with it. It's pretty satisfying, I think.
Curious, are you legally allowed to go into the woods and harvest stuff?
Yes sir. But, definitely depends on where you are as well.
why go into the woods for this when i can reach in my pants and find some fat wood right there? ZIIIIIIIIIIING
Lol
Videos like these must be without background music
Where did you buy that left handed axe
Left-handed axe??
Dang that wasn't processing that was butchering those were beautiful pieces they could have made some nice rods
Yep! They work perfect for me. Thanks for watching
@@hardwatercamper to each their own I guess LOL
It should be translated also
Fatwood is a great topic.
Yes sir. I love the stuff and the fact that it lasts indefinitely.
Thanks for checking out the video.
@@hardwatercamper its potentially life saving knowledge
@@doyrayburn2668 absolutely 💯
Leave the background music out.
