It's awe-inspiring how many uses a prepper can glean from one tree.
A pine tree is one example. When SHTF a pine tree can be utilized for many purposes all thanks to its natural resources.
In fact, if a prepper were to get lost or stranded out in the woods without a survival pack or anything else to keep them alive, a pine tree can help them when they need it the most.
A pine tree can keep a survivalist alive because of its resources such as its pine needles, edible bark, sticky sap, and more. As a prepper not only should you learn how to identify this life-saving tree, but know what you can use it to stay alive!
You may want to consider planting a pine tree near your bug out cabin. Benefit from pine trees now and learn how to utilize its resources. That way if during SHTF you'll be ready to face critical survival circumstances with the help of a pine tree or two.
After the break continue to learn more reasons why this tree is one of the most valuable resources for a survivalist. From knowing how to make nutrient-rich food from using it to create shelter, a pine tree can get you through SHTF!

Pondo pine and bull pine needles are toxic?
And cattails
In most cases the only difference between medicine and poison is dosage.
I’ve eaten sugar pine, roasted near a fire. Yum!
Try TEOTWAWKI. Jim
Poke requires at least three boilings with fresh water each time before it’s safe to eat. Then I recommend it sautéed in bacon fat.
Acorns need to be leached of tannins before they’re edible. Wash the mash several times before making cakes of the flour.
Daylily roots, good n easy to grow, tasty roasted like taters.
Pine tar, baked out of pinewood, is good for coughs and throat ailments.
Roger that. The vikings were known to do this when winters were bad.
Tightly pack pieces of pine into a heavy pan or dutch oven (no lid ). Place this upside down over a board grooved to catch the run off in a mason jar.
Cover the pan with clay n build a fire on top of the clay. Foamy sap will start out, followed by the thicker pine tar.
Mix this with alcohol n honey for coughs n sore throats.

No way in hell! burn it. Use it for cordage. Make tea from the needles. Eat the nuts. Make a bed or shelter with the bows. That is it. It is not a grocery store.
Wow

Nick Snyder II ! The Pine TREE
I just carry around a dollar store jug of knock off pine Sol
I will just hunt and eat meat. Ever heard of a grub? most “PREPERS” will die in the first month of a SHTF scenario. I will jut take their$#%&!@*
I remember back when I was a lad, (well over 60 years ago )I was NOT allowed to drink or smoke, so after we’d done the deed, we would chew Pine Needles to cover the smell.
What’s that you ask?
Why didn’t we just use breath mints?
Good question, as best I can remember, breath mints hadn’t been invented when I was a boy!
Ponderosa pine is toxic? I burn it every winter and I sometimes inhale the smoke from the sap and bark…..I’m still alive. We even made tea out of it
Chris Strain
If you take a pine needle, smush it with a rock then put it in water for 46 minutes, it will grow into a beautiful woman to keep you warm at night in the woods!
I can just make stone tools and eat meat…lol
How do you know.what end of the needle is north
I usually just walk up to a pine tree and start eating it like a corn cob…..tastes like a ribeye medium rare
Tara Haines
I would buy it. Include pics of what youre talking about and be very specific if there’s poisonous plants that look like their edible counterparts.
Pictures not drawings

Keith Kehrmeyer ok. How bout AHBL.
That’s ‘all hell breaks loose’.
Donnie Sandefur
Rich pine is great for starting fires
I’ve been saying it for years
Polk does not require a certain amount of boiling. It will just be bitter if picked at maturity. I’ve eaten it all my life. It’s the best tasting green out there. It’s not poisonous at all.
You should not eat mature leaves, the young leaves should be parboiled. If you are that hungry and desperate then parboiling the mature leaves will reduce the bitter taste. But eating the mature leaves can cause severe stomach problems.
You are so right because if the tip of the needle is pointing south, it becomes a guy. I’ve never chanced it!!
Wendy great song!
Not uh. My Daddy told me it was a single engine, Cessna. Don’t lie
Ya. Nearly 150 of them is my guess
