    This article is about Pine trees. Why does it show a picture of a Spruce tree (branches and cone)?

  4. Darren Vanderzee said:

    The article should probably speak of conifers in general . . . their uses are pretty much the same

    Pine meal has been eat by humans as far back as 39,000 B.C. And pine nuts are a great source of fiber and is considered a super food so try again.

    I personally would not eat the bark. I would however use it as a firestarter. Roasted pine nuts actually taste good. Never tried the tea. But in a dire situation and needing nutrition..

    You better know your trees! There are many types of pine. Some are toxic. This site is gonna get someone hurt if they aren’t more specific to the type and the region they grow in. And isn’t there a better term than “SHTF”.

    As far as I know certain pine will actually kill you or make you very ill……. Don’t think I’d roll those dice

    I can’t believe they left out the most important 1. A pine needle when dropped into a pool of water will Point North and is a compass. You see the magnesium in the resin that courses through the entire tree becomes magnetized from the Earth’s magnetic field.

    Well that’s the problem, sometime. Fitness Guru Jim Fix (spelling may be incorrect,) drops dead of a heart attack while jogging in his 40’s but Keith Richards is in his 70’s shooting heroine through his eyeballs and still making millions touring with the band lol.
