Yes and according to that camper, theres nothing like SC fatwood, you win again pool man......

Hey Paradise, what can I say?!

I usually take the 4 wheeler and a trailer out to those piles of tree tops left after harvesting a tree, and collect the small stuff. It's very dry by that point and burns hot. Birch bark works great too, but I don't cut a lot of them, so rarely do I have much. Really any dry bark around here will work. I also clean up the piles from under the splitter, it's bits of bark and small slivers, that stuff burns great too.

But the fatwood is loaded with resin, like soaking it in paint thinner or something.. lights when wet even.

Yes, this I understand, but I don't store my kindling outside, if I do, I keep it covered. So it's dry when I need it. If I start to run low, I reload in the woods and then bring it inside to dry near the woodstove, then its ready when I need it. I have very few pines here, and all are alive. I lost a bunch of cedars but they don't seem to qualify.

I get by with scraps of wood and cardboard boxes. I am not going to spend time harvesting fat wood. Many times, I do not need anything if there are coals from last nights fire. I can count on one hand the number of times I had to use a hatchet to make a few pieces of kindling last winter.

A guy from Ohio has property about 3/4 mile from me and I give him my used oil to start his campfires. He has no clue how to start a fire and refuses to learn.
We are next to thousands of acres of state land and one would think he could walk out 10-15 yards and find dead branches but that must be too much work. One time I saw him use half a gallon of oil to get a fire going...LOL

Oh goody my internet is back....Someone pulled a fast over me that needed further examination and reloaded and when they list several brands as their tractor it can be hard to catch until you put them side by side and zoomed in. On the other hand I could be slipping cause usually I notice things, maybe I'll try cleaning my glasses, there now I see the differences.......

Yeaaa, I guess I haven't posted a pict. of that tractor before that post, here's another,

I've had great service out of those AGCO tractors.

SR

I first thought AGCO was a Northern tool off-shoot tractor outfit based in China but that didn't sound like SR. So I had to do some investigation, looks like a new fast growing company with big dreams of taking over the tractor industry but if they want to do that they better come see me for some superior intellectual words of wisdom on 4x4 tractors. The first thing were going to do is make sub-compact 4 wheel drive tractors 4 wheel drive TRACTORS and both ends the business end, that means NO freaken blanking FWA,and and and without these tiny dinky peony tiddly front tires!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There that felt good as good as jumping in a pool.

I could count on one finger how many times I used a hatchet to cut up kindling, I just use scraps from all my woodworking stuff. And yes , once the fire is started for the winter not much is needed.
I’ve started many fires with flint and steel and such, no problems here starting fires.

Gee Hunt, I can send you some matches.
I have a nephew that started a first rubbing sticks. It only took him 3 days.
But here, we have a lot of pine stumps and call it lighter pine. I don't heat with wood anymore but have started a lot of fires over the years. I keep a lighter in my truck.

Same here, I keep them right here in my pocket along with the butane tank in my lighter.
