What do you do with all your fatwood Bushman5? You collect a great deal. I'm jealous!

too much from canada, you'd be better off buying from fatwood dot com in the US.

the trimmings from cleaning up the fatwood get burned. Then i cherry pick the heartwood pieces (Grade "A") and tuck them away as premium survival grade firestarters. The Grade "B" pieces get used daily for fire making, fire making demos, giveaways to local hikers, Rangers, etc etc. The Grade "C" stuff gets made into shavings and burned in a can as a tiki lantern :D

Only here on this forum would you find grown men droolin' over a resin saturated piece of wood they found layin' out in the swamps.
 
HAHAHAHA, how true!

i go hiking with the GF and her friends get all weirded out whenever i veer off the trail and start ripping apart a stump. Then she tells them, "oh he's getting fatwood". They get a blank look on their face and go "huh?"

:D
 
hehe, 60lbs will last you several lifetimes!

grab a 2lb bag of the stuff and you will never run out
 
Who did the mods on the Becker? Also, does anyone here use resin covered pine cones as fire starters?
 
the modded Becker BK2 is by me (Bush Lab Designs). Theres a thread here in WS&S "BK2 LandShark"
 
Great score!

I got some not too different from that except for color (pine tree) from a tree that broke in half in a wind storm a couple of years ago. I cut it off to a stump and had some seriously HARD, saturated wood.

Stuff is great, it burns FOREVER, and has that nice, bacon-sizzling sound to it as it burns.

Now, that gave me a good laugh! :thumbup:
Nice score on the fatwood!
 
I live in AZ and not much fat wood here but I did see some a Lowes. $8 for 5 LBS so my question is is it any good?
 
go for it! thats a great price.

take a few and drill holes in them, add some paracord and attach to your knife sheath

Probably the same stuff they sell at Wal-Mart.

Some of it is drier than others, but it all works.

It may look weird, but stick your head into the little opening in the box and buy the one with the strongest smell, it'll have the pieces with the most resin.
