Another sneak peek from one of two upcoming films that I did! The first film to be released will be "Into the Woods: A Wilderness Survival Film" Here is another great clip called "Finding Fatwood", which is an incredible fire starting resource that even works well for making a fire when it's wet and nasty outside. This talks about how to find fat wood, process it, and use it.

Music sounded like Rocco Deluca ?
I just scored after several unsuccessful attempts, your video made the difference.
A lot of people would’ve edited out the “fail” where you didn’t find the fat wood. I like how you explain why it wasn’t there and why you’re moving on. Thanks a bunch.
I was pretty shocked that it wasn't there, but that's the reality. It's important to show the whole picture so people don't get frustrated when they are out looking. It was also important to show the three examples of different states of decomposition as a teaching point. I am glad to hear it was appreciated.
The beard NEVER lies⛺😑
Too many experts on UA-cam leave out the common fails that most people will experience when trying skills for the first time. That leads to frustration and giving up on that particular skill. I like to show these realities in our films. Josh is all about it too cause he is an actual educator and instructor. Loved working with him.
I never leave out a fail on my videos, it humanises everything, even though there are no experts , there appears to be many on UA-cam 👍
Im glad you left it in too. thanks. you learn from it!
that log is a lifetime guarantee of having fire in any weather condition, great stuff.
Looking forward to watching this with you all Tuesday evening! I can't overstate the quality of the work The Survival Summit did for these films. The video and audio is outstanding. If you saw the video prior to this on the Elevator Fire Lay, you will likely agree.
Hey GrayBeard I've always followed and watched your videos dont know why or how i wasnt subbed, love your channel and insight brother thanks for sharing. God bless
Thanks for another great video. As always, the information is presented clearly, without any BS. I can't count how many videos I've watched on Bushcraft topics where they spend the first half talking about something entirely unrelated (i.e. if the video is about fire craft, I don't want to grind through 5 minutes of how great they think their new knife is).
@@Crusty_Otter Can't agree more! It's one of the reasons we wanted to work with Josh. We work really hard on our films to keep the knowledge concise, fun, and easy to replicate so it was a natural fit working with Josh.
You gained a huge fan and admirer. From Bo Gritz to Randy Weaver, or Rex McCoy, I have TONS of respect for GB's. Tough as nails. Surface pain is non-existent. I trust and believe anything a GB tells me about survival, combat, and weaponry/tools. God Bless You, Sir. I plan on binging the channel and look forward to more videos. Your bugout suggestions are awesome, and I was happy to see that I had most all of the items you referenced already in mine. The issue I have is I am in the Rockies. And winter is a brutal b****. I would like to see a cold weather survival video from you. Also a navigation video teaching how to read maps and identify position. If you have not already of course. Thanks again. Blessings to you and your family.
That was probably the best description on finding fatwood I have seen.
I get fatwood every morning waking up
By far my favorite natural fire starter
I'm sad to say I have forgotten so much of this .... 10th SFGA 1976-1980. Thanks for the video.
Well done. No wasted moment or movement. Music quite & country. I usually snatch a 8" cedar tree in the spring when the ground really wet with a chain & tractor. With the root system out of the ground I stand it up against a larger tree & season it till October. Then I limb it & cut with a chainsaw just above the root then cut 3' higher up the trunk. Split it in half then cut it into 2" x 2" x 12" plank of red, resin full, fat wood, drill a hole on each end for a lanyard. Give them away at hunter safety course before hunting season.
My new favorite thing is harvesting fat wood. I have quite a bit, but will continue to collect it. To me it's just one of Mother Natures little gifts.
This is the best Fatwood tutorial I've seen. Thanks you for all the great information you put out.
Thank you! I have heard many people talk about fatwood, but I had no idea of what it was until I saw this video, and it was a big help. You have the rare gift of not only being very knowledgeable, but being able to teach what you know in a way that gets through to people. Oh and I subscribed too.
What a trip, I just rewatched your old fatwood video today and now you upload this one. Thanks. This one is going into my survival playlist along with the other one.
Growing up in S.E. Oklahoma picking up fatwood or we always called it one knots, these where and still are what we gathered for the winters. And like you said it doesn't take much. Good video. Thanks.
CPL Kelly from Corporals Corner sent me! Excellent break down of fat wood. I look forward to viewing more of your content.
Grew up knowing this resource as fat-lighter, and being taught to look for and remember where "lighter-stumps" were just in case.
Stubbed my toe many times kicking yellow pine stumps as a kid. The fat lighter we got from those stumps was dark red, a lot darker and more resinous than in this video. Not taking away from this vid, but I'd consider old dead pines on the ground as plan B.
Most of us in my neck of the woods have always called it lighter wood.
Fatwood has NEVER failed me! Good vid.
Damn dude. Nice production.
Glad you like it, we have a lot more content with Josh coming out soon.
There are three scents that I can't live without. The incense at High Mass, fresh brewed coffee, and fat wood.
Just found some fat wood in a fallen pine...so excited to have this in my survival kit.
Thank you for one of the best fatwood bushcraft videos i have ever seen
Wow. Im not going to lie. My mind is blown. That was fantastic.
Another incredible video from The Gray Bearded Green Beret! Thanks for the class Joshua!
I worked in the woods as a chainsaw hand , and we looked for this all the time , I have a barrel full of it , when I see it I can't help myself from getting some , it is always a game with myself to see if I can get a more dense piece , good video , I am sure once people learn the craft , their bins will be full also
Awesome video sir, keep them coming .
Badass man this stuff is like gas of the woods. Keep pumping the vids I've been spreading your word.
Good deal brother!, yes! all you do is top shelf! Hope all is well.Always great therapy, the woods and your wisdom! Many thanks for your loyalty. Prayers to you and yours!
Greg Jones ... amen.
Excellent video Josh! 💯🤛
One of the best fat wood Bushcraft videos. Thank you!
Now I need to go look for some. Thanks for sharing.
I have to say , really enjoyed the video, and your explanation of the pooling process was the best I've ever seen.
Not only are your videos an amazing learning resource, they are relaxing, calming and very beautifully shot
Thank you for sharing, sir
Fantastic instructional, in a great video. I've had a look round for some good advice on fat wood finding, and I've finally found it. Cheers! Jim
These videos are very useful. Thanks for sharing the knowledge!
Great video. Thank you for the knowledge!
Totally valuable infos! Thanks a lot!
Stay safe and keep having fun out there!
Fantastic video Josh, excellent tutorial if that was you're aim and also makes me want to expand my botanical knowledge. Job well done!
Exelentnt video brother!!! I learned about fatwood from an old timer 28 years ago but he called it pitched wood! I learned more in your video about finding it than I learned in the field from him!!! Thanks great vids!!!!! marty
You not only know your stuff, but you explain everything fully and in a way that is easy to understand. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍 great work, as always.
I appreciate that!
Thanks from a gray headed 19 Delta!
Like usual you have did a great job explaining to us about finding fatwood. I wish you had this video out 15 years ago but, after my boys watch it they will be that much better at finding it too. Thank you for all the time you put out to help us out. God bless you and your family.
Excellent class on a seldom spoken wilderness survival consideration.
Excellent video as always.
9:40 - That's an amazing shot, bravo!
Thank you very much, I watched this last night, woke up this morning and went out and found some fat wood and used it to restart the fire in my woodstove. The fatwood looks like the tree's skeleton.
Fat lighter is absolute great at starting fires. Glad ya showed how to find it I normally just came across it but I never knew how it was actually made and the processes of how to find it. Thanks.
Love your channel Josh! Looking forward to more.
Thanks for the video. It makes me want to go out and start a small fire (after I finish work). Looking forward to more of your knowledge!
Excellent video!
Thanks for explaining this and how to find it. I’ve used it and it works great, but I’ve always bought it.
Joshua, very crisp video and audio . Thanks for sharing your knowledge, God bless !
Very well put together video, I do enjoy your videos keep up the excellent work.
You've really upped your game in terms of production quality. Well done.
Outstanding
Another great video. Thank you again for sharing your wealth of knowledge and keep doing the outstanding job you do.
Great educational video. Thank you for shring your wisdom with us!!!
thank you for the knowledges.
Brilliant video. I've never heard of Fat Wood before but now I know, it makes perfect sense. I have heard of people selling a similar product in the UK as infused kindling or impregnated tinder but having watched this will now know. Your videos are the most informative I've ever watched and I'm really enjoying and learning from your channel. Thanks
Great demonstration.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us all.
Atvb.
Take care,
Steve. 👍👍
Awesome!!! Thank you for sharing it with us. Cheers!!
Great video man!! I live in NE Florida I'm in Fatlighter heaven!! Love this channel!!!!
Thank you for the lesson...
Outstanding instruction, sir. Thank you for a great video.
Nicely done 👍
Really great info on fat wood- thanks for what you do! 👍
Another great video, thank you.
Great video! I took your advice, found a decaying red pine and got enough fatwood to start a thousand fires! Seriously, I think I've got that much. Lol.
Another great video, always no BS and straight to the subject at hand, PERFECT!! I believe you and I would get along really well and I hope to meet you someday!! By the way, THANK YOU FOR YOUR CURAGIUOS SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY AND YOUR CONTINUED COMMITMENT OF PRICELESS INFORMATION, MY BROTHER, FROM A DIFFERENT MOTHER!! KEEP ON KEEPIN ON!!
That helps a lot thanks.
Great video 🥳👍
Awesome. Loved it. Learned a lot. Thanks.
Excellent upload.
"Wouldn't be a survival video if we don't baton" lol experimented guys like you know that batonning appeared in the recent years and UA-cam just went completely overboard with this. Nobody ever baton in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, etc. We used hatchets. But kids nowadays want to take down trees with a 5 inches knife and complain when it breaks. Strange times.
Thank you very informative.
Thanks for the information.
You got yourself a good piece there! Finding fatwood is fun to me. I give it to my cousin for their fireplace. I have never found it in a stump, just limbs. Stumps are dirty work anyway. Anyone going into the woods should have a piece of fatwood for emergency fire lighting. It works every time, even when wet. But a box at Walmart if you have to ($4-$5). It even smells good. Thanks for the insightful video. WD40 will keep the sap from building up on your saw. I carry a very small can for this. Hand sanitizer is supposed to work as well.
Nice, thank you, informative.
thanks for your explanation it will help more than one!
Love the video and how you explained how and what it is. Unfortunately where I live I don't have pine trees to gether fat would. So last year when I went on my trip way up North I collected quite a bit to bring back with me... You can buy it online and in some stores.
That. Is. Solid.
Good to know thank you!
This was good information. Thank you.
GBGB, you might want to add the Red pines have two needles per cluster and the white pines have five to help differentiate live trees in an area.
Thanks for this! Now I gotta go to the backyard forest to find some fat wood.
Finally a video where the heartwood is mentioned.. Thanks
Excellent explanation of how to find fatwood. I notice in my research that no one mentions the Balsam (what was a tree frequently planted by Christmas Tree Farms). Balsam has quite a bit of resin in it evident by its "blisters" of resin that you can remove for fire starting. But I never hear anyone mention the Balsam as a source of fatwood. Thanks, again, for your excellent videos and explanations of issues on bushcraft and survival.
Definitely a lot of resin found in the “blisters”, I’ve just never found it infused in the wood. I look for it all the time. A lot of fir where I am
Love me some fatwood! Great videography!
Great tips on how to identify and collect fatwood.
One of the best fatwood videos I have ever watched!! Great job!!
The best fatwood video I've ever seen.
Living in lower Alabama, North of the Florida panhandle, they call it lighter or lighterknot.it works great for Firestarter
Very informative video on finding and identifying fatwood!! 🔥=survival
Trees if you please..😊
Dave Canterbury talks about trees instead of plants as the outdoors supermarket.
This is a great example, let's have some more tree benefits in future
flix.
All top notch grey beard as always .
You really light my fire⛺♨️
Thank you for these tips❤️🌎✌️
That's a nice hunk of fat wood you found.
I was hiking in the mountains last fall and came across a pine tree that had broken off at the base. It was mostly fatwood. The tree must have died first and then was blown over some time later. I pulled my trusty Garberg Carbon out to break off a piece. NO WAY! That fatwood is so dense that I couldn't do much other than slice a thin strip off. I didn't have a saw with me. Gonna have to fix that.
Very nice. I think fatwood dust sometimes is difficult to ignite with firesteel (but still works as an accelerator) if it is wet everywhere. But it also depends a bit on firesteel type.
This Marine would back up to that beautiful fatwood log, pop it into el trucko, sandblast it at home and display it in my man cave ! It would give my cave a righteous smell and another trophy to talk about ! No intoxicants allowed in the cave !!! Thanks for your wonderful video my graybeard friend ! God bless you and those you love !
Awesome video, I live in the Gladstone region in Queensland Australia, not much pine around these parts, but we do get the odd Bunya and Hoop pine, finding them in a decaying state is rare, but rest assured I'll be on the hunt for them.
I'm going to start looking at other species as well.
Thanks for the video Josh.
Very good, Thank you very much
Great channel
Thanks! great information, love fatwood. Wouldn't think to look at deadfall that looks so long gone.
Not exactly that much of a beginner but this was still a very good video thanks for sharing friend
Ponderosa Pine makes good fatwood too. We called it pitch wood!
