If you think about it, it's amazing that a pine tree has a never ending flow of natural resources that you can use while you're bugging out.

Imagine if you were stranded in the wilderness without any food. How would you stay alive without your bug out bag or food? However, if you came across a pine tree not only could you stay alive, but you could also use it for shelter.

    It’s so weird when I see the SHTF my mind translates it to Shut The$#%&!@*Up, even though I know it doesn’t work out as the letters are placed. I know what it stands for but each time, instant like, my mind does this. So irrelevant, so random. We now bring you back to your regular broadcast show.

    That has to be the worst written article I’ve ever read. And the said “pine” all through it, yet showed and talk about spruce (without knowing what they’re saying)…I wonder how many people will actually try this stuff with a pine tree.

    Of Pines and Spruce; For a few days after a good rain fall the limbs can be removed, placed over hot coals or small fire untill the cut ends spew steam. That steam can be condensed into water safe enough to drink. Also, shelter should be made from spruce, not pine. Its softer, seasons well, and doesn’t rot as fast.

    I wonder how other resins differ? I was on a hike and found some choke cherry resin and wondered the properties. I didn’t find anything on Google when I looked briefly, but maybe someone can elaborate her that knows more about it.

    Chewing pine needles will cure the hiccups. But I don’t hold much hope for the survival of anyone that doesn’t know what a pine tree is! Lol

    This article is a joke, if you don’t believe me go chew on some pine sap and see for your self. If the best you can do is eat a pine tree bark, I’ve got news for you, your probably not going to make it very long. There are hundreds of better suggestions than pine trees. Give me a break.
