BIG NEWS: I have designed my own Survival Knife called “APO-1”. You can get it now at my online store: www.survivallilly.at/ Thank you so much for your support
You might have had the oil in the heat for too long. The oil was burnt. Birch oil should be clear. Maybe next time try cooking it for less time.

Hi Lilly, birch oil is also a great tick repellant. Rub the oil on shoe laces or thin elastic and wear around your ankles and wrists when foraging in the woods. Also rub on the dogs collar. If you take the ashes from the birch after oiling and sprinkle them around the bug-out camp, you will be tick free for a long time. I learned this from a Russian friend of mine. She showed us this same process at my own fort/camp a few months back. You are awesome!
Oh, thanks for this
Good to know!
When you split wood with the ax, turn the ax upside-down after it bites a hold in the log. Then the weight of the wood will split it over the ax, rather than your muscle-power.
Thanks for the recipe on birch tar. You can also make "tea" from the birch bark, and use it to relieve headaches and menstrual pains. The sap from the birch may help against dandruff and eczema. Further the leafs contains vitamin C.
It's surprising that the bark burns so well but not the oil. Thanks Lilly
This is really cool! All the years I spent in jungles and woodlands it never occurred to me to rendef oils out of tree barks. I have extracted oils for medical use. You have changed my paradigm.
Another great video Lilly!
Birch oil is called tökötti here in Finland and and I'm going to make it to treat wood against rotting in near future. Like Your channel, it's so real... :)
If you didn't know (I guess you probably did, but whatever :), birch oil is a good antiseptic, it was actually used in hospitals some time ago. It also helps to heal skin problems (but it is very hard to wash from clothes and so on).
Interesting. I always like watching your videos. They tend to be clear and to the point. I would be interested in hearing additional uses for this stuff.
That's so kool,thanks,Lilly.I will try that sometime.
so cool i realy want to try it! thanks for all great videos!
Nicely done - I loved the way you handled that big chopper, perfect
absolutely awesome!!
scraping the birch bark to catch the spark is so simple and so smart. I've always just shredded it. thanks mam
So simple, and cool butterfly at the end.
Good video; thanks for sharing!
Love your videos very informative.
thanx for making it simple and easy...very helpful...peace and love
Super Arbeit! Ich mag deine Videos!
Very interesting. Thanks Lilly!
MAN ON VIDEO LIKE 6 of yours and had to say WOW. super cool stuff. I do some hiking stuff mainly not to Much survivaly type stuff but the adventure archive guys sent me your way and like I said love the channel. I'll be beng watching this weekend for sure. thanks again..
Short, sweet and informative 👌
That is very interesting, Lilly. Thank you.
Thanks for the video. I never knew about birch oil before.
Thanks for the video! I wasn't familiar with birch oil before.
Love your videos
Good video, thank you!
Nice video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge :)
I learned a lot. Thanks!
soo glad I found this channel
Awesome Lilly. I'm goingto have to try this. No birch where I live, but lots of pine. You are very good at explaining this kind of stuff very simply. Keep up the good work and I look forward to your next tutorial. Peace :)
Your`e awsome Lilly Keep up the good work!
Great video... just wish it was longer.. could watch all day
Wie immer, saubere Arbeit Lilly. LG Carlos
something new learned...thanks lily!
Cool Video 👍
Moin Lilly, klasse Video!!! super gezeigt und ist ja wirklich einfach. Das mit den Pfeilen kam mir auch gleich in den Sinn.
Danke fürs zeigen
LG Toffer
Thanks Lilly for sharing your knowledge, Have a wonderful Merry Vhristmas
Clear explanattion. The best I saw. Tanks Lilly ->->@ .
Great work, great little dwelling there too
Thank you! I never knew about birch oil before.
great job on starting the fire too
Fantastic, so thats how it's made! Nice one, danke.
awesome!!
Some potent power stokes with that axe! Really good stuff! Thank you for the video - Martin
Excellent idea.
we use pine tar. i mix it with boiled linseed oil to treat my axe handles. birch oil or tar would most likely work as the same as pine tar for making soap and treating wood as a preservative . thanks for posting
Nice video.. good information .. but the WING pattern on the butterfly was AMAZING! and spectacular...
Thank you so much for your knowledge of survivor skills .
Awesome video
thanks very helpful
Cool video. Didn't know about birch oil but I do now.
Nice job Lily!!! :-)
I'm a new subscriber from Winnipeg, MB, Canada. I am an old bush whacker and pilot turned therapist in my later years. This was a great video. I never heard of birch oil before although I had an uncle who made birch sap wine.
I really enjoy all your videos. You have a lot of experience and it shows. It's interesting that that the bush area where you make the videos is very similar to where I plan to build a bug out camp north of Winnipeg about 50 miles in the Interlake district. The wood is mostly poplar with some pine and a local variety of oak (the best firewood besides birch). I hope you continue the good work.
Good video Lilly. I love the woods. I've got 99 problems but a birtch ain't one!!😉
Very good work Lilly :) Thumbs up! :)
It did not know these uses. Thank you ¡!
actually,birch oil is not flammable so if u want to make a wooden pot,plz cover the exterior with birch oil for cooking purposes so your pot won't burn
Wow much better ratio then I had when I tried making birchbark oil!
Love the slow-mo axe wielding!
that's pretty impressive with the axe. Rock On Lilly!!!
Very cool!
Hi lilly thanks for all my skills :) your awsome
Birch bark has so many use but especially to assist starting a fire, even in the rain.
very good!
hey Lilly, when you chop large pieces of firewood, turn the ax up side down after the first chop. when you chop the ax in the stump with the log above, the log will split at once due to its on weight
Sauber! Tolles Ergebnis Lilly. LG Sepp
Great video. If you come across any more uses for birch oil, please share!
Also, Joe is awesome.
great job
very nice :) i have made pine tar the same way but i used a 200L oil drum with fatwood and a 10L bucket to collect the tar in.
I hear it's a good bug repellent as well. Another great video!
Hi Lilly, new subscriber! My last caming spot was Killarney, Muskoka......great canoeing!! I really want to do the La Cloche 7 day hike there...that's the next challenge soon I hope! Prost!
You made "birch" tar like the Swedish pine tar (one of my favorite products) - great wood finish with linseed oil, also used as a topical for psoriasis and as a bug repellent (saw on a movie from the Siberian Tiaga). Makes great soap and lotion too.
Great video! Do you think this could be done with pine in the form of fatwood to extract pine resin/oil? Keep up the great work!
great video(s). you're more comfortable in front of the camera now. keep up the good work.
that was pretty successful, well dne Lilly! :)
Wow...super strong with that big Axe you gots Lilly..awesome !!
Good idea.
You can use birch oil to make birch tar that can be used as a glue for building shelter
Very good to know! Thanxalot :-)
great video lily, if you refine your oil it will burn better and you can run a generator wit, great job x
I would like to see you maybe make some videos showing the uses of birch oil. I have also heard of putting it on wounds but have never had the chance to try it. Can it be used like pine pitch tar as a binding agent on containers and what not? Thanks Lily!
Good skill to know. well done
All of your vids are amazing ☆☆☆☆☆
good video thankyou. ps maybe a daft question but if its a oil can u cook with it?thanks shaz
thank you is very interesting ciao lilly
Great how to vidio. I never heard of birch bark oil. I have seen a few documentaries mentioning birch bark tar used as an adhesive. Some anthropologists speculate neanderthal did this. Thanks Lilly.
You know if you had a tap syrup spigot you could use a live birch tree as a secondary source of watery nutritious birch sap.
I've seen several YT videos on this subject, but this one was the first I seen that used a hole in the top. It must make a difference (whether good or bad). I have a can of birch bark ready to go to try this method since spring, but keep forgetting about it!
Maybe tomorrow!
Nice video - even without Daxs......
Hy Lilly,
klasse erkärt, wünsche eine schöne Woche,
Grüße Michel
That is so cool
We use the oil to treat our old church ( 860++ Stavechurch). It smells really good.
Cool!
where I live in Canada we make birch beer, it's sweet and bubbly like champagne.
I think Far North Bushcraft has more videos on the uses of birch oil. Well done Lilly!
Hi Lily. Nice video. Have you ever tried flipping the log upside down on your down-swing? I do this by embedding the axe head deep into a log as you do, then swing up both the axe and the log as you do in the video, then flip the axe-head upside down before I drop the log; thus the axe head hits the stump first, and splits the log like presto!
Survival Lilly is ace!
In Sibiria they mix the oil with fish oil (can't remember the ratio), as a mosquito repellent. If it is anything like pine oil, you don't want to use pure oil in the sun (it can burn the skin). I mix pine oil, beeswax and woolfat (lanolin) for the Swedish summer. When I go to the far north of Sweden I add a little "Djungle oil" (20% DEET). Super effective and last a long time. I made about 40ml without DEET a year ago and till got most left.
Interesting Lilly...Did the oil stay in a liquid state or did it become a solid?
Hi lily you are amazing bushcraft teacher and please make more videos
