Spent a month alone last summer by the Canadian border, Washington state. We have lots of pines up here. It rained hard pretty much every day the first two weeks. If it wasnt for birch bark and pine resin I would of had some dark spooky nights.

@aufheben5 That sounds fun. I'm envious of the birch in your area. We have some river birch here, but they are few and far between.

Thanks for the coment.

When I first started watching your videos, I thought, man this is so stupid, but then I ended up watching 10, subbing, and letting you know that you are doing a great job :)

@XdamoneyX Thank you very much for the kind words. I believe everyone has something to offer. Sometimes we just need to step away from the anymosity enough to listen to others. As for me personally, I am one of the worse in doing this. I always seem to approach things with negative intent before I realize what I am doing.

I honestly appreciate the support and comment. Thanks again.

Man, that broght back some memories. As a former paratrooper with the 82nd we spent half the year in the woods. North Carolina was full of Loblolly's and a lot of them had resin just waiting to be picked off due to the fact that tanks would brush up against them ripping some barl off. Every place the bark was off was resin. Like you showed in the vid, you only picked it when it was dried and stay away from the gooey stuff. We all used it for heating our C-rations. Sterno from God. Thanks Guy

@Punxsyjumper A very close friend of mine was in the 82nd in the early 90's. I wonder if you two may know each other.

[Punxsyjumper]

@Heavyb2u I doubt it. I was there from '78 to '81. Ask him if they ever found the keys to Area J yet.

@Reallybigmonkey1 My brother is and my father was a printer. I bet they both have used products you've produced. Especially if it comes from International.

@Punxsyjumper I love hearing things like this. It's great that you've had to use resources like this out of necessity.  I've always just used them because I think it's fun.

Thanks for the comment.

@Heavyb2u I think its because the fibers last for about 7 or 8 recycles. Other pine trees the fiber turn to mush and long longer bond after fewer recycles. Round here they call them Tennessee Loblolly Pine. I work in a paper mill, can you tell? Ha Ha.
