You should pick some up. You can use it in place of lighter fluid and put that axe and a knife to work.

I’m not buying kindling

Actually I read up on it a bit the other day and got that it’s the sap turned to resin that makes it a fire starter vs just plain kindling

But I don’t ever use lighter fluid in any case, so I’m still thinking nope.

Of all the other names it’s called I’m not sure why fat wood is the common term? I’m gonna go with pine knot from now on.

I’m read it comes from the old days when folks kept kindling steeped in grease/fat near the fire place for fire starting... The resin rich wood burned similar, etc

I do like the smell of pine resin and pine tar...

This isn’t quite as good as beaver castor, but it’s more socially acceptable to shower with, lol

The one on the right is from Finland if I’m not mistaken

That makes sense. I suppose I should have looked into it more. I’m still going with pine knot. Sounds more woodsy.

We've just always called it kindling

I finally thought I was going to get a nice photo of her! All set, she was still, looking at me, then here comes Mr. Black hopping onto the scene (he already has his turn!!)

I think I’ll do better trapping this year if I get this knife. It will go along nicely with my trapping axe. That will complete the ensemble. Don’t be shy folks. Christmas is right around the corner and beaver season opens the 26th.
