Sorry if asking this is a pain, but can you just get sap off a pine and chew it? And can it be off any type of pine? (: Thankyou for the video though! Brilliant! :D

[trapperjacksurvival]

@brainstillloading chewing just sap will stick tp teeth so add bees wax. any pine sap can be used

When I was very little, I read that this resin was used as chewing gum, so I tried chewing it. It took almost a week to get it all out of my teeth, haha!

@Willard5991 wet sand is a great way to remove pine sap from anything. shells, skin, pots and pans exc

@specioss

Most pines I know of in the northwest USA are edible, but I'm not sure where you are. Search the Internet for it, I'm sure there is a wiki on it. I eat pine needles, drink pine tea, and I'm sure melting honey with pine pitch will be damn good!

[Willard5991]

how do you clean your shells after the pine sap gets on them? by the way, love your videos, keep it up!

Thanks!

@trapperjacksurvival Thanks for the tips. I tapped resin yesterday from Pinus sylvestris. It taste a little bit bitter, is that right? For how long must it cooked to get the terpentine out of it?
