When SHTF life can be unpredictable. Even if one day you have your bug out bag and are near civilization, the next day could bring something completely unpredictable, separating you from your cabin, bug out bag, and family.
If you are out in the woods without a bug out bag or supplies, don't panic. It just so happens that your natural surroundings are what's going to keep you alive. Specificially, a tree is going to keep you alive.
Did you know that a pine tree provides all the natural resources you need to survive SHTF for an extended period of time? Yes, you read that correctly. If you're out in the woods during a collapse without many resources, find a pine tree.
With its sticky sap, pine needles, edible bark and more, almost every part of a pine tree can be used for survival. If you locate pine trees when you're bugging out, you have a better chance coming out in one piece.
So if you're not sure how to identify a pine tree now, learn where to find one in your area and how to use it to your advantage when SHTF.
Keep reading to find out just how resourceful a pine tree is. Stay alive not only by retrieving food from a pine tree, but by creating shelter as well. You'll be amazed at everything a pine tree can provide!
After the break, discover why a pine tree is one of the most resourceful trees out there. Instead of suffering when all hell to breaks lose, you can take comfort in the fact that a pine tree can keep you alive.

Thanks.
I wouldn’t say ALL you need but, it will sure help.
If you can’t identify a pine tree without this article, forget it. You will never make it anyway
COLLAPSE!!!
Except that tree is a cedar.
Good info….
Won’t help me, I am allergic to pine lol.
It’s a southern yellow pine
“ever eat a pine tree?”
“Many parts are edible.”
You know what I wanna know? What knife that is in the picture!
And now I know and that think ain’t cheap!
I’ll look for a pine tree outside a Walmart then go inside and get the stuff I need
True.. i / we have tried this at my upstate property..specially the fire making capabilities..
I get all my vitamin C from the young needles of the pine
Isn’t it toxic to burn
Very good to know
its a condor primative i belive just google matt grahams knife i believe its around 40
its a condor primative i belive just google matt grahams knife i believe its around 40
Its about $70 right now. And I use fixed blades so infrequently it doesn’t pay for itself.
Wrong bark to be cedar
Only in the state of California
O
I get my vitamin c from Orange juice
that tree is not a cedar
I almost wish none would post this stuff because too many people will go out and scrap the bark off of the tree.
Yeap,
Spyderco. The only knife I’ll purchase. This knife itself is over 20 years old
Never use a foldable, just get a mini fixed blade, crkt has some nice ones

Great tree to know about.
The roots make great cordage.
Prolonged use of a ponderosa pine is not good
Cool info. I will have to put some into practice.
most will only try pine needle tree….and that will be enough….
You can cut off a limb to make a spear or a club to rob other people with. You forgot that one.

Matt Grahm knife… Primitive Bush Knife made by Condor. $55.85 on Amazon right now.
Well, fair dues, guys, my EDC are foldable. But I do have a number of fixed blades.
If you’re going to eat a tree and kill it in the process, don’t waste the materials. Use the entire tree. Digging into the cambium layer with your knife is just plain wrong, unless the entire tree is going to be used.
Also eating bark and pine nuts by their self will make you sick.

You know I can’t read
Lmao shut up
Too bad we paved paradise… Look around.. How many pines you see right now in your concrete jungle?
The tree will survive n honestly it’s a pine tree who cares they are every where it’s not rare or endangered
I don’t think it will be that big of an issue
