Nice cross cut, glad you held it up to the light. Not everyone would have had the inclination of doing so. Your content is too shelf. God bless you and yours!
You're very kind, thank you!
VERY NICE
Thanks!
Thanks David for the tutorial. Fatwood is a beautiful thing; smells so good!
Beautiful!
I recently discovered that Holly burns extremely well. When placed in a fire Holly branches will flame up as violently as an old Christmas tree. I'll have to make some fire starters from it next time I cut some.
Interesting!
Thank you for another great video! That wafer was stunning in the sun.
Awesome ambers.
David is the guru. The man loves making fire! 🔥
That fatwood was gorgeous, almost too pretty to burn -- almost. :)
Today I saw an old pine grove, took a walk through it, and found a lot of knots like yours. Excited to process it. Thanks for the tips. As always, enjoy your vids.
I'm glad, TY!
That is some Sweet FATwood!!
Sweet!

Thanks for another great informative video. I totally enjoy your videos with your simple to the point approach. Thanks again!
I edit out a lot of good commentary because most people want short videos.
Very nice and helpful info. Thanks
My pleasure!
Oh boy, best I’ve ever seen!
Thank you!
Thank you sir, very helpful and informative
You are welcome!
Awesome video
Thanks!
Nice Corona pruning saw. I love mine and use it a lot when I go fat wood hunting along with my 511 mora. Kudos
Never tried the 511...

Impact-resistant, ergonomic TPE rubber handle for optimum grip; included finger guard provides additional safety
Hard plastic Combi-Sheath features a quick-connection for the addition of a second knife and sheath
Blade thickness: 0.08 in (0.2 cm), blade length: 3.6 in (9.1 cm), total length: 8.25 in (20.9 cm), net weight: 3.9 oz (110 g)
Made in Sweden; limited lifetime manufacturer’s warranty
Such great advice Mr west thank you for sharing 👍👌🔥
Thank you, Joe!
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl very welcome Mr west
another trick up your sleeve for making fire my current favorite is keeping 1 or 2 candles in my backpack so far works without fail
Good one! Thank you!
One Your the best video .
,, , 😊😊😊 , ,,
I appreciate that. TY!
More pressure was the trick, worked great.
Awesome!
I like bug and tar remover for cleaning like that. I park under a tree so I always have it for using on my car. It also great for sticker adhesives on a hard surface. Much better that rubbing alcohol
I've got some of that stuff around here somewhere and Goo-B-Gone too.
@DavidWestBgood2ppl Goo-B-Gone is the best. A little more expensive but worth it. I have used it to get sticky stuff out of carpet.
Looks good enough to eat.
I know.
yup, I got just the one doing it on the side of one of my numerous trails...right now I just collect the beads of dried up resin from it
A great resource to have around.
Cool I didn't think of using the WD 40 to clean the knife.
I've been using the 6" bayite rods. Got some of the 3" on your recommendation and these are great! Thanks. Learning from you.
I oughta get a 6” and see how it does.
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl You will be pleased. They are good rods. I copped two 6" for about $15
You gotta love the turpentine smell!
Gotta!
My dad was born on a 100 acre farm in North Carolina and was well acquainted with 'fat wood' or 'lighter wood' as we called it. I have awesome memories of finding it in the woods behind our rural home, and using it to start camp fires when I'd go hike in the woods, or to start a fire in the burn barrel! I just love the smell and the feel. I'm wondering if a person can purchase it online?!
They sell it at the home improvement stores.
Dang, did you spark that pile of FW shavings with one strike? Nice work!
Thank you!
🙏
👍
Save your saw dust off your fatwood too, You see where I am going with this, Thanks Dave
What about a pine tree that has lower branches dying but it's green above. Is there fat wood in those branches? We have eastern white pine that does this where I work. Other than that, there just isn't a lot of pine in my area
Thanks BB!
Dave, what's your fire table material? Looks like thin plate steel. Is it painted?
Yes, yes. TY!
Great looking fatwood! How many full fires do you estimate you could start with just one of those sticks in its finished size?
Only 1 piece for 3 dry tinder, kindling, and fuel wood fires, but 3 pieces for 1 wet wood fire.
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl Awesome. Looks like a little bit can go far!
Do fatwood sticks get less useful after storage and need to be discarded?
No. When they eventually get bone dry and no longer have that Pine smell, they will still fire up nicely!
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl Thanks for the info!
Can you get fat wood from dead lower branches in live trees. I can’t seem to find any dead pines in my area
Yes. I just made a video about it. Find Abundant Fatwood In Small Dead Branches! ua-cam.com/video/7i5v-uenL2w/v-deo.html
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl 👍
I just asked the same question. Glad to see David's response
Here in the Southeast, we always call this " Pine Lighter". Not sure we're Fat Wood came from, I think that's a Northern term.
Mr.West,
Where i live in south Texas there is no pine trees and very little ceder /evergreen trees what other wood is suitable for fat wood? I have live oak and post oak trees on my property with areas of yupon undergrowth yet to be cleared out from the oaks. Is any of these usable as fat wood none are very resinous. Also a quick fire roll question? I'm using 100% cotton balls toske them why cant i get them to ignite using wood stove ashes? Am i rolling them to tight or what? They get warm but wont turn into embers is it humidity? I live neargulf if mexico and its very humid here?
Thanks
Michael from south texas.
You'll have to buy it from home depot. Watch the tutorials in my fire roll playlist and let me know the title/s.
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl in reguards to fire roll question is there anything in specific brands of cotton balls that make them better or no good to use for fire roll? And if i can get pure just picked cotton would this be better? It grows all over down here in farmers fields
Any 100% cotton will work. See the playlist these details are in there.
A bag full of cotton balls with some Vaseline on them start easier, burn hotter and are easier to start!
Looks like gold in them there sticks. LOL
LOL! TY!
Ecclesiastes 10:9 He who quarries stones may be hurt by them, *And he who splits wood may be endangered by it.* .....@ 2:15
I thought you would have referenced 3:40 where striking the ferro rod propelled a piece into the air, it landed on my shoulder, dropped back down onto my knife, and then onto the table.
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl
Psalms 91:4-5 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; *nor for the arrow that flieth by day;....* 😀
Lol! Good one brother!
Fatwood and WD40. Now there’s the most masculine cologne ever invented.
I like that idea.
Man you cut yours very thin. I usually stop at about 1” thick. That way each stick can products many fires of larger tinder bundles and plenty of larger shavings.
I like to use one per fire in scrapings, shavings, and mini batonings.
I discovered that GOJO hand cleaner will get the sap off your hands and knives/tools. Works fast.
Also carry some in a small round tin with screw off lid in my rucksack
I believe it.
@@DavidWestBgood2ppl You're still up?
Almost.
Hi David. Can you please tell me what model Morakniv you use in this video. Thanks
Mora Companion Stainless. It is not the Mora Companion SS HD (Stainless Steel Heavy Duty)
