I had done a lot of reading about how they made wooden boats back in the day, and the ropes and knots they used.. The term "Pine Tar" came up a lot, but I was never sure what it was. Thanks for the education!
Thank you so much for this. I live on 11 acres of mostly an old growth pine forest. Lots of downed pines, and this is a great weekend project for me to tackle. I appreciate your work to make this video!
In Carolina, it was used to waterproof the canvas tops and wagon covers with. The British had a place set up in New Salem NC called "Tory Pond". Its on some old maps. They dug pits, filled them with what was referred to as "lighter knot stumps". A lower pit was used to collect the product.
Dig out the roots and bole. That's where the really fatwood is found. You should fill the container with fatwood and seal the top before building the fire. I have been digging up pine boles and making pine tar for at least 50 years. .
Because of the antimicrobial properties, pinetar-drenched cloth/fibers are great for wrapping food, and for sealing off (clay) jars with consumables in them.
This video caught my eye, because I wanted to see if the way I make pine tar was the same as you (it was). I figured there wouldn’t be much to learn from this channel, and then I began to peruse the uploads. I apologize for even thinking such a thing. Your channel is quite a find. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. There is coming a time when this will save lives. Good stuff. You’re one of the good guys.
Pine tar was one of the greatest exports of Sweden in the past. Since it can keep wood from rotting it's quite useful for keeping ships afloat. It fell out of use when metal ships came into fashion though
I’ve been making pine tar soaps. They are absolutely wonderful for sensitive skin. It’s been used for over 3000 yrs on farms to disinfect and heal wounds on animals. It smells absolutely wonderful. Rich earthy, soothing. My favorite soap. Some of my customers exclusively buy pine tar soaps and not interested in any other soaps. Awesome video. Thank you so much. ❤❤
I am very, very, impressed with your knowledge and mechanical know how on this lost art. People in today's world forget that we were making pine tar for probably thousands of years. Keep up the extremely good work, I am so glad that some of the old art's are not lost and forgotten.
@@woodspirit98 One would use a tar kiln. dig round kiln pit and from center of build a drain (made from a hollowed tree trunk), cover the drain( with a lead in from center of the kiln), seal the whole floor of the pit with clay and moss(except the drain hole). Pile in the fatwood in the pit.cover the fatwood with extra wood for fuel, cover that with earth, moss, peat and soil. At the edge one would leave a gap to light the kiln from all sides and then cover. Let it burn, making sure the fire doesn't breach the coverings (oxygen gets in and the fat wood will just burn) and also pack it in as the wood inside diminished (again to prevent straight burning). Some large kilns could take week to burn. It is very similar process to charcoal making. Only difference is one uses fatwood and the kiln bottom needs to be lined for water proofing so the tar will run at the bottom, instead of soaking to ground (then one would get tar sand.......)
I absolutely adore primitive living and that good ol' Native know how. I've been practicing this for about 5 years now and started in 2012 with old fashioned lye soap making, which grew into my obsession with honoring my ancestors and continuing on with their lost skills. Now I travel annually to Oklahoma to share in Primitive Living Classes and learn new skills. There's nothing better than being a leader, especially for our youth who lose so much to the tech era.
What’s crazy is the despite doing this for as long as we have as a species and have manufactured much stronger adhesives, this stuff is still one of the best that you can personally manufacture from nature. I’ve used it in so many projects that I’ve made over the years and have ZERO complaints. Affordable, easy to use, easy to make, and it even has medicinal properties as well. It’s a powerhouse.
I love you, thank you very much for sharing. I'm a Woman. Living in the woods and I have a big Pine tree that I love in front of my house. This is very useful, for me. Thank you, for real!
Hi yes well done this pine tar call in my country KAtran and smells good, people for centuries In north Africa Algeria Morocco and Tunisia they were using it and still to cover the new clay containers to preserve the genuinely and cleanliness of the water, prevented malaria and other deseases, also used to flavour water and keep it cool, its antifungal anti bacterial and kills virus, proven. Thanks for sharing
I had the most terrible sprained ankle; black calf muscle, knee pulled aside and swollen, ankle black and swollen. I elevated it for weeks, used and did everything doctor at hospital provided. It only changed in that the black area moved. Still tons of pain and swelling and black. I rubbed some of this pine oil into it. 5 seconds later, NO pain. 20 seconds later, NO swelling. Next morning, NO black. I rubbed it in a couple more times. I continued elevating it but I did NOT baby it. I walked (hobbled, limped) on it more than before. I had stopped taking the percocet pain pills they gave me so I could feel what I was doing. Fact is; within less than 12 hours - no pain no swelling no black. It's amazing stuff. That was an extremely severe sprain. Miracle medicine.
Personally I'd go for the stumps and roots they usually have the highest concentration of heartwood which is gonna yield the most pine tar. Also a slight dish shape to the bottom of the metal container with the little holes in the center at the deepest point to help channel all the tar into your catch can. Also what your left with in the container after the distillation process is charcoal which has alot of uses as well.
I live on the site of an ancient Indian village in Oregon and I have found small stones and pebbles mixed together with pine tar (also called asphaltum). They used it for an adhesive and inside these tar blobs I found small semiprecious gem stone pieces and even someone’s front tooth. These objects vary in size from the size of a golf ball to the size of a basketball. They fall apart in hot water and can be dissolved with turpentine.
I am so excited to do this tomorrow. Thank you so much. I enjoyed watching. I've been suffering with Lyme disease for years. I really think this could be an answer. I'm not even going to be able to sleep. Headed to my property to try it early. God bless you.
Great advice so don't get me wrong, but I think is funny how everyone that does survival tips in the woods seems to always use temperature for fires and liquids as if you will have a thermometer with you. I think color, viscosity, smell, etc. are your most accurate indicators in a real life situation for where you are at temp wise.
I understand what you're saying. To put other words on this; make sure there isn't a vacuum otherwise you're going to see tar in your face when you look in the mirror.
The whole thing takes time to heat up, so he's actually saving time by putting the bucket first, so it has a head start to heat up, while he fills it with sticks, otherwise that bucket is sitting cold and idle while he fills it.
AL Martin filling the bucket first is much more efficient. Preheating a relatively thin steel bucket doesn't speed up the process much. I use a 30 gallon drum of fatwood inside a 55 gallon drum. Mine is plumbed with iron drain pipe. I just set up the drums fill the inner drum with fatwood and fill in between the drums with the fire wood. A 30 gallon drum of fatwood makes about a gallon of pine tar. I use it for wood preservative and making soap.
Great info on finding fatwood. i do the same thing even on live spruce trees. Pine trees are up here but not in the areas i camp so i have to look toward the spruce tree. Splitting wood like that is a great tip, i use it many times or baton , this will help a few people out, always good to show axe /hatchet/tomahawk safety. lol I think i would fill the bucket and then when all ready, start my fire. tho hey this worked and you didnt burn yourself, so grats. Very good video man, thanks for sharing.
Kullcraven Bushcraft Thank you and I agree. I wish there were spruce trees here. It's my favorite tea. Got tons of them in Michigan, but none here. Yea probably better to teach putting the wood in first. I just kept the fire down then let it rip after. Thanks again my friend.
It's simple heat melt and collect the pine sap use that way or distilled for turpentine hundreds of uses for wood or metal or medicine thousand year old knowledge thanks I just thought everybody already knew but many have been born since the forties when my family did everything from scratch great grandpa love and learn
I've used this tactic to patch a canoe on a fishing excursion I went on and I boil pine little branches with needles boil use the water after it cools mix with water base paint and it is a good extra resin with latex hardener
nice one ,great job with making pine tar very cool method , great uses indeed 1 thanks for sharing and i agree with Marc Scouting Free you deserve more subs my friend ! look forward to the next vid atb john
Thanks for sharing this video! Very interesting. I see someone else already mentioned using it to make soap. I was just watching a video on how to do that and ended up here, which I am glad I did. Will subscribe.
you get a fire started real quick with that stuff I've done it is when you go out and you're going to a Hunt Club that's what we use on the campfires getting started specially in the winter
I like the way you do your video and it was very interesting thank you for staying down to Earth in your video I love to watch more of your videos this Pine Tar Now i know when in the 15th a and 16th century castle they used Pine Tar torches.
Log builders used to use oakum (rope saturated in pine tar to fill the gaps between logs before chinking the gaps. The pine tar helps to reduce bugs and drafts
I loved the video. Does what you don’t use immediately harden being stored in the glass jar? Any recipes for making this into a salve with say coconut oil etc? Also can you put it in soap somehow?
I just grab big chunky Sap Knots off my pines. Then dissolve them in pure Alcohol. After a week or 2 of them siting I filter my jars. What’s left is a beautiful golden sap. Nothing gets wasted. I’ve been using the same gallon of alcohol for over a year. And as a bonus it smells so good if you burn the alcohol in an oil lamp. Nothing wasted. I find many uses for my product.
After I get. Batch done I fill silicone trays I made let them sit for a c I ole months and I’m left with nice pine pellets. I use them for making pine flux by letting them redissolve in Alc.
50/50 ratio pine tar mixed with rain water or water that's sat for 2 days wards off negativity, negative thoughts/ behaviour and extremely evil spirits. When used after war water to cleanse and then protect your home. The more you know 🤷♀️
Excellent video the one question i would have is how long or what is the window time wise. Do you have after a pine tree is down do you have to harvest the Wood ? I used to do a lot of Backpacking and hiking and i would use Sappy pine tree parts as a fire starters because it was free and light to carry. In Ziplock bags in my pack i lived in the NorthEast United States and did a lot of my hiking through the Appalachian. Mountains in Maryland , Virginia, and West Virginia as well as a little in Pennsylvania Knew that the old boat builders used to use Pine Tar to help seal and protect the finished boat thanks fo sharing i did Sub to the channel and i hope to “ Bingewatch “ any other videos you may have posted. As this stuff is right up my alley in liking
Great job on the video. very clear instructions. I have been looking for a way to make resin for my art. Native jewelry, medicine wheels, etc. Willi it harden or Is there any thing to add tat would make it harden after it dries?
Hi, thanks for the video - really helpful. Does the pine tar go solid when it cools? Can it be reheated to use at a later point? Will it still be 'good quality' if the tar is collected over time as and when? Please forgive all the questions - I'm very new at this :-)
Sheena Guthrie Hey thanks for watching. I don't mind the questions, sorry for the late reply. Pine tar will remain like an oil. I haven't kept any for a super long time, but it never went bad. I suppose like anything it breaks down over time, but I feel with this it will be a while. You can use pine tar and reheat it whenever you like. Any other questions with anything feel free to ask.
You just got a new subscriber homie, nice work! Also I spotted your hawkes helllion? I noticed the micarta handles and the handle shape and I used to have one as a teen, and I'm bummed I gave it away (eye roll lmao).
I'm makin tar exactly the same way, at the moment:D Just found this video to ensure myself that it's not a danger method cause of pressure cases.. glad to watch this as i use the same sort of cask:P usefull stuff - thumbs up!
Nice video pal I have been exploring pine and resin recently, it’s fat wood and tar making that I want to get in to do if you got any advice for a new you-tuber it would be awesome. Nice video very informative 👍👍
Great video man, does this stuff really evaporate and burn like candle wax? I would imagine it being too viscose and solid at colder temperatures? Thanks for the info dude I'm going to have a look at this 👍
Thank you very much for the video, very cool. I'm going to buy resin because it's cheaper than paraffin (which left me very surprised), I'll see if mixing the rosin with water makes it more similar to this product, if so, it would be even better, we don't always want something so thick The hatchet thing is very good and useful, I didn't like it until I saw it a while ago, but it's still not worth it, the machete is much more useful
Could you use this process even if you dont have a lot of fatwood? Got a few downed pines but very little to no fatwood. Could you substitute fatwood with “green” wood?
I had done a lot of reading about how they made wooden boats back in the day, and the ropes and knots they used.. The term "Pine Tar" came up a lot, but I was never sure what it was. Thanks for the education!

Is this your contact still David? I would like to ask questions😀
If you got some pine tar you made I'm interested in buying some from you.
Because of the antimicrobial properties, pinetar-drenched cloth/fibers are great for wrapping food, and for sealing off (clay) jars with consumables in them.
, like oil cloth?

Pine tar was one of the greatest exports of Sweden in the past. Since it can keep wood from rotting it's quite useful for keeping ships afloat. It fell out of use when metal ships came into fashion though

How much for soap made from human fat?
can I use it on making pine gel
You can waterproof your clothing with it ... Or your tent, canoe and remove human scent from traps ...
But is it flammable?

I do love treasure hunting for Fatwood :) It's exciting each time you chop into a log or a branch and you see that beautiful deep red/orange color.
And the scent 😍
Us soap makers use pine tar to make pine tar soap. This is so cool to see how it’s made. Very cool!

Vacuüm is the absence of air. That's underpressure.

Thanks for the video and information, I live here in the Philippines, is there any other wood beside pine that you can recommend, thanks
Thank you, Billy Corgan
Nice video pal I have been exploring pine and resin recently, it’s fat wood and tar making that I want to get in to do if you got any advice for a new you-tuber it would be awesome. Nice video very informative 👍👍
Love the video man.
How long do you leave the pine cookin for before you get all the pine tar out?
+John Wayne This was only on for 30 min. You can go longer and keep adding wood
Maybe I missed it but how long do you leave the pot of sticks on the fire? How do you know you've got all the sap out of the wood?
Great video man, does this stuff really evaporate and burn like candle wax? I would imagine it being too viscose and solid at colder temperatures? Thanks for the info dude I'm going to have a look at this 👍
Excellent video.
Thank you very much for the video, very cool. I'm going to buy resin because it's cheaper than paraffin (which left me very surprised), I'll see if mixing the rosin with water makes it more similar to this product, if so, it would be even better, we don't always want something so thick
The hatchet thing is very good and useful, I didn't like it until I saw it a while ago, but it's still not worth it, the machete is much more useful
Thanks! Pine tar is quite useful stuff.......
Could you use this process even if you dont have a lot of fatwood? Got a few downed pines but very little to no fatwood. Could you substitute fatwood with “green” wood?
Great video man new sub
Great video!!!
