Pine needle tea and pine resin are a couple ways to get nutrition from the Pine tree even in the winter in a possible winter survival situation.

  • We have Lodge Pole Pine in South Eastern Ontario. Red Pines have three needles per cluster, right?

  • @richardhummell2497 Thanks for watching. Red pines have two needles per cluster the same as lodge pole pine. You may be mistaking the lodge pole pine as it is typically only found in the western Americas. That being said, trees do get transplanted.

  • @thejourneyoutdoors Go to Google Maps and key in "400 Hunt Club Road, Ottawa, Ontario Canada" into the search box and go to street level and look due south. There is a copse of lodge pole pine that have grown naturally there. The Ottawa tribe of Amerindians lived in lodges in the winter months and used the Lodge Pole Pine as their lumber.

  • @richardhummell2497 Sounds good, I'll take your word for it.

  • Nice. I'm from lower MI. I love our state.

  • @JEHIAHL Michigan is a great place! Sometimes a bit colder than I like.

  • I dont know if you did this or not but you should try putting honey and cinnamon in the tea as well

  • @JMMELGRATTI Yeah! And it makes a great metal polish

  • @PyR0Star The Mohawks used to use dried sphagnum mosses as lining in the loin clothes of their babies. It would absorb much like the disposable diapers made today. and would save the rest of their clothing from getting soiled.

  • @heapbigtalk We make Bannock from the white bark from pine trees and flavour it with roasted acorns and pine nuts. Hmmmm!

  • the white part right under the bark can be roasted ..it reminds me of bacon ~

  • stay away from hemlock as well
