Oh

Oh

as which today survival so I'm going to go up and make it pine glue stay tuned all right so I have a pine tree here with a wound tons of SAP coming out of it

take a chunk of that alright so I'm going to grab some charcoal for my last fire pit

okay so what you want to do is just take a little chalk hole and you just put a little on your stone and just powder eyes it lightly okay now the amount of put on there is about the size of the amount of SAP that I have up roughly so I'm going to take that I'm going to roll it around and coat it in the charcoal okay

alright pretty simple okay so so far we've taken pine sap to make pine glue and this type was it's slightly malleable you know you can move it around it's not the dry crispy kind it's not the kind that's still flowing like liquid it's just after that stage just in between both stages so you put that on a rock smash up some charcoal and you just coat it and put a neat fire all right so doesn't take long you know it's after a moment of - you'll notice that will start to liquefy in the front but be black because of the charcoal you're on your way so I'm going to do is just turn the stone around the other side can stop melting - and look good to go

okay so I've rotated it the other side is local fine pretty much all there is to it now the last step is just to mix it all together so I'm going to do after I take the stone off the fire all right so this is ready to be used as it cools down it's going to start gumming up start hardening up you can use this for putting arrowheads in in our shafts tons of uses for this waterproofing fletchings

I'm just looking my fingers where I'm tapping it in gives it a nice smooth look

all right so I just cool these together and you know pine glue has a ton of uses you know it's basically used to join two things together or and or to make a air proof seal so you know it could be used for joining arrowheads gluing in knocks at the end of arrows waterproofing sinew waterproofing pretty much anything and if you're making pipes it can make a a proof seal I mean just tons and tons and tons of uses again just joins two things together you know so basically the sky's the limit

so it's also flammable too so it's really amazing glue to make and it greatly improves the ability to make things when you have some pine pitch glue you know if you just tie an arrowhead in sure it's on your arrow when you put glue and tie it in it's solid all right well let's been mentioning survival appreciate your views your constant support see the next one take care you
