Let’s get to snacking! Or, at least, let’s watch as this capable mountain man shows us exactly how to make spruce pitch chewing gum! What a great way to utilize natural resources in the wild — sounds like a good snack to us!

He did not tell us much about flavor so, just to add a little more sweetness, I might even suggest sprinkling some powdered sugar on the pieces as well. Not sure if the “unnaturalness” would spoil the effect but some people do like a little more sweet in their chewing gum!

This is a great idea for those who feel they need to get some chew on while they are hiking, working away in the wilderness, or simply sitting by a warm fire in the hearth while relaxing at home! Hey, it is better for you than chewing tobacco, right? Enjoy!
