Colorado Lodgepole and Ponderosa Pine Fatwood\Resinwood firestarters

[coloradowildman]

Hi all, I'm blessed to live in the Colorado high country and have good access to fresh resinwood\fatwood from Lodgepole Pine and Ponderosa Pine that burns like it's soaked with gasoline when lit and it also burns in the rain. Makes excellent all weather firestarters for hiking, backpacking, camping or to light a fireplace or woodstove. I hand chop and cut it with a Wetterlings axe so I value it at about $10 a pound for trade if anyone's interested. It's also great for those wanting to stock a bug out bag or car survival kit, as it's smells great and doesn't contaminate things around it. I don't know the ultimate shelf life of it but I've carried some around in a ziplock in my pack for over a year and a half and it worked like when it was fresh.

I'm interested in knives, wilderness books, camping\hiking gear, etc. Will also sell some if you don't have something for trade.

Thanks
