Dan it wood be cool to see you do a fat wood video on pine knots from old rotten trees that have decomposed almost entirely on the forest floor. Also the branches close to the trunk on fallen pine. I also live in central Oregon and in certain areas the ponderosa doesn’t always have a fat root ball. I know you could do a great job expanding identification of fat wood.

Yes! Gotta love the fatwood! It's not quite like that in my area but on conservation land they have alot of pine trees, so it is available just not as plentiful as it is there. Thanks for showing!

My dad was a sawmiller in 1930s till WWII got him . He told me about fatwood ,but he called it "rich pine." I guess this was a local term in East Tennessee .

Thank you!!! I'm in Western Washington, and have (unsuccessfully) looked. This is the first video I've watched using the root system for it. Great info!

Glad it was helpful. Would enjoy hearing back when you find and use your first one.

It is amazing how many people I have talked to that don't know where to get the Atwood or even what it is!

@ochocobushcraft1742 2 ай бұрын

Same here. People who've worked out in the Ochocos logging have had no idea it was in the root wads.

Thank you so much for this information. I’ve just started bushcrafting and this information helps so much. If you don’t mind me asking what kind of knife and hatchet do you use? Keep up the informative videos and wish you the best out there in the trees

Thank you! Architect Knives 5.5 is my favorite knife to carry. Check out there website, it allows you to build and customize your own knife. I recommend 1095 carbon steel as your blade steel option The hatchet is a Gransfors Bruk hand hatchet, available on Amazon. Spendy, but the best. Good luck in bushcrafting! Hope you find lots of enjoyment!
