In this lesson we learn how to use pine as a survival resource. Pine is widely available and provides us with food including protein, fats, vitamins A,C, E and minerals. We can also use pine to make fire (even in wet conditions) and harvest resources for shelter building.

You'll need the following items for the practical:

• A ferrocerium rod/fire steel.

• A fire steel striker or a knife.

• Fatwood harvested from a pine tree.

• Some small twigs or materials to add to your flame once it starts burning.

• A few closed pine cones.

• Green pine needles, the older ones contain more nutrients.

• A cup or container like a kettle that can be placed on a fire.

• A handkerchief or similar item for filtering your tea.

Don't forget your survival game face!

Enjoy the tutorial.

Everything is permissible for me, but not all things are beneficial. Everything is permissible for me, but I will not be enslaved by anything [and brought under its power, allowing it to control me].
