How to use a pine sap in a survival situation.
Pine pitch is made from the thick amber deposits that ooze out of
a pine tree. This sap is the pine's natural defense against cuts
and it helps the pine fend against animals, insects and the
elements. Think of it as the tree's own antibiotic!

Cuts happen to the pine from animals scratching, man cutting
into it or when branches fall off and injure the tree. One of the
best places to find the sap to make the pine pitch is to look for
knots in the tree. This pine sap hardens over time and becomes a
resin in a beautiful amber hue. When you collect enough of these
jewels you can make a pine pitch. If you're in a survival situation,
you'll want to harvest pine pitch ~ the jewel of the forest!

Pine pitch is a firestarter and it's also a natural ingredient for
making medicine, soap, glue and more. Learn how to harvest pine
pitch and use pine pitch for survival. It just may save your life.

Pine pitch or pine resin, has many survival uses:

#1: Pine resin is an accelerant.
One of the most important parts of the pine is the pine resin that
the tree secretes ~ this is gold in terms of survival if you're lost
in the wilderness and need to survive the night ~ and one of the
primary ways to use pine pitch for survival is to apply the sticky
substance in your firestarting routine.

Pine pitch is not a fire starter per se. It's actually an accelerant.
An accelerant is anything used to aid the spread of fire. In short,
it will help get your fire going. As with all resins, exercise caution
when heating this product. Resin is very volitile.

strength.

which has its own healing benefits. Pine pitch can also treat
skin rashes and eczema.

making fabric wax, such as

Fabric "beeswax" wraps for wrapping bread. Traditionally

Whereas sap is the naturally produced sticky or hard stuff, pine
tar comes from high temperature carbonization of pine. It's a
distillation of pinewood. Produced by slowly burning pine roots
and branches, you can create pine tar for survival purposes, the
way manufacturers use it for creating soaps and shampoos,
including skin conditions (dandruff).
