i love xmas I take everyones xmas trees till my entire backyard is full then i chop off all the branchs, and harvest the needles and branchs for charcoal and firework making. The needles make great natural cat litter, preventing them from shitting all over your yard, they just love the needles.
- The cambium layer under the bark is edible, packed with carbohydrates, although bitter and tough to chew.
- Pine boughs as a building material, raincovers etc...
- Some isolated pines have all their branches, that are easier to climb than other tree species (like a ladder), for height advantage to situate yourself.
Actually the branch he is holding is not pine, it is larch which is fundamentally different as it loses his needles in winter. He also hasnt mentionned all the uses of the pine :
- The running roots of this tree can be used for cordage and shelters binding material.
- We can also eat the little fruits hidden in the pine cones when they haven't popped out.
-The sap is great for firestarting, and can also used as a wound sealer/antiseptic like a balm, for skin diseases.
@Rhinoch8 you are correct the branch is from a Larch, however Larches are conifers in the genus Larix, in the family Pinaceae (the pine family). The info in this vid describes all members of the pine family, which includes the Larch. Some of the other uses that you mention are included in the two other videos in this little series which I believe will be posted shortly. The members of the pine family certainly are a great resource.
Good to know, with the way food prices are going up!!! We need to relearn a lot of plants different uses again!!! Both for foods and medicines. Thanks, and God bless!!!
@lordraveneyeofra And its only the beginning of the agricultural fallout due to excessive erosion of fields! Permaculture is the solution. You should check out Sepp Holzer, and the paulwheaton12 channel on youtube. A positive attitude to get benefits, instead of destroying everything you don't want.
you show the men face more than the leaves i can,t see the leaves properly

The DRY brown pine needles are great to grind up small into tinder for bird's nests when making fire with ferro rods or friction fires. : P
