  • Pine Cones are everywhere in the Sierra Nevada foothills where we live. We use them in our wood stoves as kindling, but I've never really stopped to think about what they really are, what their purpose is or why they're so dang sharp. Today, I learned more than any one person should about the common Pine Cone. Turns out they're actually very interesting.

    Our channel is amazing. It's true because I wrote this statement and I also make the videos. The channel is all about ditching the comforts of home for adventure, travel, outdoors, and life lived in whatever way suites you best. We (my wife and 3 kids) sold everything we owned a while back to travel full-time in a small travel trailer. After that we moved back into a regular home to find more adventures in new ways.

    When they are still full of seed you can throw them into areas where the ground is bare. You will spread pine seed all over the place as the cone flys through the air. If you give the cones plenty of arc you can plant a small forest just by chucking a few cones.

    You can actually eat this when it is still on the trees and gets a red/brown color. You will need to remove them from the cone and put all in a pot with water, boil it for 30 min or so. You can do in the instant pot as well.

    Also, you can make a very tasty and healthy syrup out of them if you harvest the young red-ish cones, it's something that's done only in parts of Romania from what I know, the syrup can help with sore throats and colds being high in vitamin C.

    heres some interesting facts about pinecones that ive only recently found out, if you hold it pointy side up and count the spirals going to the left there will be 8 then if you count the spirals going right there will be 13 then if you count two of the rows starting from the bottom when you reach the middle stem on top youll be at 21, so just like most other things in nature the fibonacci sequence is visible, it blew my mind when i figured this out......1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233,377,600

      I'm 47 & have been fascinated by my pine trees these past few years. They make great mulch. The parts of the cone stay hard long enough to keep, but will degrade (yet keep their shape) after a handful of years.
      I like stacking the cones whole in corners, around/atop barriers, and all around my trees. Lizards like to sun on them, and they can easily scurry under to get away from my dogs. 😏 They open & close, so it allows for enough drainage that the mosquitoes don't take up residence. They change colors & texture depending on wherever there's sun & with age. The different shapes are fun to play with too.
      I hope you enjoy your cones!💞

    Most people don’t know that pine cones have cash value.
    You get a bag of dry pine cones from the forest, and then toss them into a kettle of melted wax. It doesn’t matter which kind.
    Then you pull the pine cones out, and let them cool. That’s a pile of fire starters.
    I suppose they’d be worth about ten dollars a dozen. The nice thing is that they’re waterproof.
