ABOUT TREE BARK
Cambium contains about 1000-1200 calories per kilogram. As well as being fried, it can also be dried and pounded into a flour or added to stew or soups.
Traditional diets of Indigenous peoples of Canada show that they ate about 35 species of plants with inner bark, cambium and sap.
The most common are in the Pine Family including True Firs balsam fir, or Canada balsam, grand fir fir, and Pacific silver fir. Other include Slippery Elm, Black Birch, Yellow Birch, Red Spruce, Black Spruce, Balsam Fir and Tamarack. Of all the contenders, Pine seems to be the genus of choice.
The most important food derived from lodgepole pine, however, was the inner bark, including cambium and secondary phloem tissues, which was an almost universal food of the
Interior peoples of British Columbia. The edible tissue is said to be at its prime for harvesting only for a very limited time in spring, the exact interval being determined by elevation and local weather conditions. It was and is usually obtained in late May or early June, when the sap is running and the cambium and surrounding tissues are thick and juicy. This is about the time when the new needles are expanding and the pollen cones in full production. Sometimes local testing is required to determine whether the harvesting time is right. For harvesting, the bark is removed and the ripe cambium tissues scraped off the exposed wood in long, fleshy ribbons 2-3 cm (about 1 in.) wide and up to 60 cm (2 ft) or more long. Special prying implements were used to remove the bark and scrapers, traditionally made of caribou antler, deer ulna or rib, or shoulder blade of deer or bear, were used to harvest the edible tissue.
More recently, a sharp knife, or a tool cut from the curved side of a tin can, has been used as a scraper. A basket or container placed at the bottom of the tree is often used to "catch" the edible ribbons, or "pine noodles" as they fall. Sometimes, if it were later in the season, the edible portion is scraped from the inside of the bark after it had been removed. Usually only a rectangular portion of the bark 1 to 2 m (about 3 to 6 ft) from the ground is removed, and the tree will continue to grow, the scar gradually growing over.
The edible tissue was usually eaten fresh, as it was gathered, or shortly afterwards. When freshly harvested, it is sweet, juicy, and somewhat resinous, but when left it is said to discolor quickly and
"go sour." Sometimes, however, it was dried for winter, when it would be soaked in water before use. Some people like to add sugar to this food, making it even sweeter.

I love you guys!!! Keep up the good work!!!
"Tree bacon" ... I bet monks and beavers must love it.

Ahhh brotherly love.. Chris carry’s the camera and Kevin totes everything else lol😆
Payback for all the logs I put up on his log cabin !!! :)
@@TheWoodedBeardsman I hear ya!😁
@@TheWoodedBeardsman that looked like real work!
Just like Don does on Kevin's channel.
Great stuff I have just finish watching every video from start to finish, so Ultimate Full stop. At 63 years old you and the others has rekindled my Love of being in the forest. Thanks you, Chris, Kevin, Zack, Greg and Jeremy.
"If you chew it long enough it tastes like wood again." :D
Been watching you guys since the cabin build! You gotta have Kevin in your episodes more often! Love the both of you! Keep it up!!!
Agreed, more Kevin on channel plz, great dynamic.
Teehee you two are hilarious together 😁 .! Need more videos like this .
Liking that tent.
Chris you aught to be able to talk Courtney and the boy into joining you on a trip in that kinda luxury😁.
Oh yeah, that's an easy sell!
Listening to Mr. Beardsman go on about the possibilities of the tent reminds me of when my brother and I would build a pillow fort. Honestly that tent is really cool.
When I sleep at night I go into your channel and put UA-cam on auto play, means that it plays through ALL of your vids , even if I’m asleep it’s like ASMR to me , I read a comment about this on a video from 3 months ago decided to try it , I fall asleep watching these vids, it’s my way of supporting your channel , everyone else should try this puts you right to sleep, especially the ones with no talking
I just can't laughing to myself when you both film together I love your brothers reactions and sayings sooo funny nothing beats brotherly bonding ❤
You, Ovens and now Zach are the videos I really loom forward to watching.
Agreed. 2 years ago a friend of mine and Greg's got me watching the Rocky mountain challenge. Now I wait for Kevin, Chris, Greg and Zacks new videos. In that order. Lol
Love G.O ❤️
Lol, your Mom & Dad are shaking their heads, this is Not how we raised them lol.
Very cool video..👍🌸
OMG! I lobe Kevin and you also! Of course!
"Cow eats grass...maybe u should eat grass..." Kevin is funny.. Lol...
a human digestive system cannot breakdown cellulose fibers, beavers have an enzyme in their stomachs that breaks it down and Cows have several different stomachs to digest grass.
I know rite lol
Pine mono culture, high acidic soil, no under growth.
Well done, forest managers; you sure are doing the world a favor!
Mistakes were made in the 70's...
I must be the only with a mind that belongs in a gutter. I cracked up laughing when Chris started babbling about eating beaver.
Wooded Beardsman eats everything in the forest. He even eats the forest.
That tent is a game changer, pull it in a sled- for winter camping. Its nice .
That tent looks a real beauty. I had a good giggle bout that beaver, fullstop. 💯❤👍
I love when you guys collaborate
That a wicked tent! Had a good giggle tho "you could spend all day eating beaver" n thought yup fella sure could. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
That tent was amazing looks like it would be the perfect hunting blind
Luxury blind! Set up cots, wait!
Chris , I am a front line worker. I didnt do to much you tube surfing . until i caught Covid 19 .But Dude you pulled me through it . i found you while i was 3 weeks on my back . BINGED watch you. Fowler , your brother all your Friends . Have not heard much from your Texas Connection !?? whats up with that ? Any way I am THANKFULL ... for what you do KEEP UP the GREAT WORK . I have been watching from my TV , Not my pc , but on the pc now and Want to sat THANK you again for the fun. insight . and lessons RESPECT fellow CANUNK !
Hilarious, LOVE that tent!
brings back memories of the old vid
That tent is going to be awesome for ice fishing 👍
That was hilarious
Full stop
I'd love to see more Beardsman and Modern Self Reliance adventures!! Like a 5 day survival style mash up. Who eats better and easier? Store fed or forest found.
Brothers make things better,very funny video more of this😍
Your bro is dope 🔥 you should bring him along more
One of the best videos. You just do you friend.
I think a worm bin/farm would be a good video idea. You could use Kevins DIY skills and then use the worms for bait or to feed your trout; they multiply quick. The worm castings are also some of the best natural fertilizers you can get if you decide to start a garden at the compound.
I love watching you guys makes my day, seriously lol, so friggin funny :D :D :D
Yours and Kevin’s channels are the perfect combination 😀
I really do enjoy using there tents
Their**
@@philipkloet2669 good job because that’s what really matters
It is such a treat to see the two of you do a vid together - now and then. You guys are funny in your own right but some of your brotherly interactions is TO DIE FOR.
Chris, could you try using a wood plane next time, and make them literally paper thin, then try making chips out of the wood. Love your videos!
Yeah that’s an awesome idea I wanna see that
😂😂😂😂 Kevin's disgust when you first bring up the bark.
If it’s a great grind then yes. I like it rare.🐸
Bugs and bark, the 22nd century’s gourmet food. Might as well start conditioning your stomachs sooner than later!
When they were designing that stove they were like “what do you want to use to make it”
“Idk we have a ton of sheet metal”
“Let’s do it”
Seems super portable and light
Chris: A beaver makes his whole living on bark. If it's good enough for a beaver it's good enough for you.
Kyle: A cow eats grass but we eat the cow.
Cow: GOT'EEM!
Your bottom stove pipe....should be at the top. The stick out parts, 3 I think, with a hole in each is for guying out the top of the pipe in high winds. I have the UP2 with the small stove, just love it. Glad you will be enjoying this more than overnight.
Great vid guys TYVM ...
Subscribed to Kevin's channel......I hope he ends up as successful as you have bro your both great guys 😉
I must of fell asleep at school when they talked about the pine tree famine 🤣🤣
Tree bacon is the one weird trick that survival shows like 'Alone' keep forgetting about.
THIS SURE BEATS TV BRO!!!💯🔥👍🍻
I loved that you call it tree bacon, I call it wood noodles lol
Haha you guys are so funny together.
Love you brother, love from India 👍❤️👍
Shelter is rad!🐸
I think that cap on top of the chimney acts as spark arrestor. Also I think survival Russia has this same tent. Glad to see you and Kev in another video. God bless
It is both a wind break so it doesn't back wash down the chimney but it is also a spark arrestor
To be honest I new Kevin wasn't gonna eat that tree bacon 😆 🤣
He's been a good sport lately!
He likes normal food.
@@BlueTardis70 You're one of those kids who sit inside all day and eat junk food and call it real food
@@aprilcastanon3752 you know nothing about me child, go play on your phone.
Love your videos!
you seem to always be in a better attitude since subs/income increased quite noticeable. Glad you are having more fun now. congratulations.
They have actually been down about half this month. I've been sick dealing with some reflux issues...family problem it seems to run in the family. Trying some things to get over it.
@@TheWoodedBeardsman hey man I’m not sure what you’re trying with the reflux but I was taking Prilosec at 29yo. Someone turned me on to apple cider vinegar. I haven’t taken one since and I’m 45. In turn I have helped a lot of people as well. It’s got to have the mother in it. I’m sure you have heard of it but maybe not.
@@TheWoodedBeardsman sorry to hear about that. I do enjoy the videos where you are in good spirits. Hopefully you recover quickly and you can get back to it. Crazy to hear the guy that eats most anything has reflux though!!
so funny! You two make such a good team. We just left you on all day today. In fact you are still on at 1:30 in the morning. It is 4 days Bushcraft in the wild right now.
Oh MY god ... THAT is a huge tent!
Definitely useful for guides and ice fishing with a whole CLAN. The heat will melt too much ice and make it soggy though ...
You bring out the coolest gear sometimes!
I think in case of a famine ... the squirrels will be the first to go, then the pigeons/sparrows/starlings/anything with wings, then raccoons (in the cities) ... bark will stay on trees and nobody in the city will touch skunk.
The insulated floor and the fire mat will keep 97% of the heat off the ice, so there's basically going to be zero melting if you use it properly.
cool .
You should try doing some cool things in Michigan !! You have good luck in suburbs!! I hope you like it!
Always a pleasure to watch your videos, Canada is beautiful.
Cast iron pans are awesome for cooking on campfire
Awesome
Top quality.
puts lots of effort into getting stuff off burgers, proceeds to put bread literally in a pile of ash..
but seriously, love the content keep up the amazing work!
Looks tasty gotta try the barkon (tree bacon)
2500 hours is 104 days of use so a fairly long life.
Also I suggest removing the glass it is notorious for breaking in those little stoves which is why they give you the replacement metal sides. Which is nice because most companies don't even give you that option and you have to make your own or break down and buy new glass.
Lars at the Survival Russia channel really likes these Bear tents.
So I see you've been watching Survival Russia, or did the companies contact you?🙂
As for the baffle/spark arrester, I think you're brother would find Russian brick ovens/fireplaces really interesting, and make a good project for him. They have chambers that make the fire go around inside to give different heated zones, and use lots of bricks for mass. Very efficient for heat, and the bigger ones are for cooking too.
I can find a link to some free (though difficult to follow) plans if he wants.
But be careful if you put that behemoth on the ice. It'll catch A LOT of wind!
I've had the tent for a loooong time, just didn't get it out sooner! I'll pass that along to Kevin!
У брата моего такая, он берёт её на рыбалку, говорит что в -30 градусов в ней камфортно и тепло внутри +15градусов
Some good ol' beaver eatin camp fire talks 😆
23:00 are we really gonna talk about the beaver eating wood? xD
I like camping videos so much but is rare
Kevin can do standup or slapstick!
awesome
wow that tent is amazing lol i wish i could spare some weight for something like that!
fun episode and cool gear
That looks like a really nice turn I had two different kind of pop out one's one was like I like a metal frame in it and it expanded like just the roof covering ones but it was a full ten the other one was a pop out like yours but it was a cheaper one and whenever the wind blew it pop the sides and not you if you had a tide out it rips I didn't try that on that long
❤️❤️❤️
Great video
Nice tent. You can keep your bark. I always have my bow and fishing poles/takle with me lol. Full stop.
you look like the pirates first baseman Colin Moran
❤❤
So nice to see more of you guys in each other's channels ❤️
Lol I just watched the old tree bacon 🥓 video... Kevin needs to get a rake attachment for the tractor to rake the needles... also people here in NC pay for pine needles in their yards. Probably on of the best camping/tent stoves on the market, has everything including see through functions!
He was saying they would use it for mulch! Yes, a big rake would do it.
I’d be more worried getting a sliver when it comes out the other end. Great video 👍
a splinter in yer sphincter? haha. holy hell! Literally.
@@lonewretch lol 😂
It is lovely to see the two brothers out camping together.
Tree Bacon!! Sure it's a thing, really it is. It's like... this ain't a thing, I'm just trying to get my brother to eat tree bark.
That's what my brothers would do.
LET'S GOOOO
love the video guys. love the tent too... gonna definitely buying one for moose hunting this fall
It's worth it, you'll love it! Make sure you use the links in the description.
@@TheWoodedBeardsman Already have lol
Namaste 🙏 wooded beardsman love ❤️from india
👌
Greetings from Bali👋
I want to see the segment of you pooping the bark out, ROTFLMAO.
When is the beard coming off?
This was a fun episode 🙂
Try the cambium layer of a NON evergreen, like birch or maple. It's a little better. The other thing to do is to boil it like pasta first and it will help to soften the fibers some.
I am pretty sure Survival Russia had that same tent and stove on a recent vlog😊
Would be great to see you hunt from this tent
😌
Use some of the spare mirrors and put them under the stove it will reflect the heat up preventing the ice from melting.
Sounds dangerous!
