A few flavors of fatwood.. premo natty fire starter

Shout out to Kenneth for the Piñon pine and Brian for the PNW drift wood fatwood.
For me it's the best fire starter in the area. Once you know where to find it it's everywhere. As for the performance it speaks for itself, you will be hard pressed to find something more abundant that lights as good in the SE USA.
Next up will be what to look for or what I look for when trying to forage that fatty fat.

I'm in South Carolina and I've always called it.. lighter..use to chop plenty of it and start fires in the ole wood stove to cook and heat with 😊.. and it does get hot and burns really good

[@bushcraftkelso2013]

Yep, it burns hot, that's for sure!

Great stuff. I haven't had luck finding it in Vermont, but luckily the birch trees there make up or it. I'm camping in the Florida panhandle now. This place is loaded with it. Some people load their truck up with it and have fatwood campfires. Man, does that burn bright. They call it 'lard lighter' here.

[@bushcraftkelso2013]

Yep, or fat lighter, heart pine, lighter knotlots of names. I wish we had white or silver birch down my way

What Is a Microphone Wind Muff & How to Use It. The synthetic fur covers on microphones in video production are often referred to as a “dead cat” or “wind muff”. These funny looking covers can block wind from hitting the microphone, therefore reducing the wind noise from being recorded.Feb 14, 2023
