It's true that pine trees are one of the most useful trees you could come across, especially if you find yourself in a SHTF moment or are experiencing a typical camping trip. The small branches on a pine tree work perfectly to use as kindling to get a fire going, and the resin can be used as glue or even chewing gum.
Some types of pine trees have an inner layer of bark that you can cut out and eat when faced with an emergency. Of course, you can also use the wood for crafting projects. It's suitable for projects since it's soft, flexible, lightweight, and very resilient.
If you're making an emergency shelter, you'll appreciate the soft needles that you can use to set up a comfy bed and also as a layer on your roof. However, you may overlook another key element that you could be utilizing when using a pine tree for survival: pine nuts.
Inside pinecones are an amazing survival food that's rich in protein and fat. Learn how to harvest pine nuts by watching the video after the break.

Anthony Maiden look at the guy’s arm
Very cool. He has good taste in music
Applying heat to vitamin c destroys it.
We always ate these as kids! If you get the right cone, they fall out into your hands. I have a huge sugar pine in my backyard and the cones are large and opened by the sun.
I live in Georgia. Pine trees are all over the place here, yet I’ve never, NEVER, seen a pine nut, and I have looked. It must be a species that does not grow here…..
Better roasted if you can.
They’re actually pretty good, a little harsh perhaps for some people but you can expect that. They are hard to gather as the good ones are often up in the tree. The ones on the ground have already been harvested by squirrels. Not much to them. Helen’s roasting idea is great! Boil some water, add some pine nuts, a little pine sap and it’s not so bad. Not great, but it’ll do. 🙂
We get it. A pine tree is awesome. How many more times do you intend on sharing the same thing? *facepalm*
Please stop with this “click bait” garbage. The video is great, just share the video. We shouldn’t have to go to a website be bombarded with ads, then click on “the next page” only to be bombarded with more ads. If this continues to happen I will unfollow/unlike your pages. I love the content, but the ads really are ridiculous. I get it, you like all of us need to make that $. A few ads are ok, your tactics are well beyond reasonable. For anyone else here’s just the video- https://youtu.be/VQwJGwfGkk8
Inner bark is edible
Duh
Roast them ,add salt water and enjoy….pinon are tasty…
Pinon what the Spanish call it
Roast them good and u can make pine nut coffee…
Eat the inner bark and nuts…#endcluckbait
Plus you can eat the pine sap and eat the soft inner layer of any pine but spruce and you can make tea with the needles, very high in vitamin C and the pine sap will give you an energy boost
Guess it depends on what kind of pine tree. White pine have no nuts.
Nice Dream Theater ‘majesty’ tattoo, btw.
Only if they are in season… which averages avery 3-4 years… for any given area….
