What happens here
While pruning, the narrator notes the presence of 'fatwood' within the lower portions of the pine branches. He explains that fatwood is densely rosined pine that is excellent for starting fires. This step involves identifying and collecting pieces of fatwood from the pruned material. The narrator mentions he will show how to use it and will even conduct an experiment by leaving some pieces in place to see if their resin content increases over time, making them 'juicier.'
Goal: Collect the resin-rich wood (fatwood) from the pruned pine branches, which can be used as a natural fire starter due to its high resin content.
