Pine Resin Fire

Old bushcraft books describe pine sap as flammable. It's not just flammable, it burns like napalm. In this video I hike up to 4000ft. elevation on a rainy day to harvest some sap and show you how to use it to make a fire.

Can you use birch resin from those little bubbles on the birch tree? Also can you light resin in its liquid form? Or do I have to wait for it to solidify?

@BushcrafterPro I've never tried birch so I can't say. I just collect it as a liquid and use it straight away. I've tried saving it before to solidify and it can light, but when it is fresh it lights off like gasoline. I just used this technique a few weeks back in a wind/rain shower and it just is phenomenal how well it blazes.

Birch is also flammable so yes you can use birch resin!!! You can light resins in their liquid form but it will be more difficult than if the resin was solid because liquid resin has WATER in it. Hope that helps
