Those are great tips! I didn't think of those, but they make sense. Wood ash (lye) has been added to animal fats to make soap for ages - though I suspect if you have animal fats you'd rather eat them. So many great uses for pine. If you strip the bark, then just below that is the outer cambium layer - which is somewhat edible. I love the great discussion I'm getting on this post.

Thank you! And yes I would definitely take that animal fat to the belly. Lol. But yes pine has so many uses it's insane! With a great topic comes a great discussion! It is a very good post my friend! : )

Honestly, writing the post was worth it just for the awesome discussion.

Heck yeah. There's alot of good stuff going on here! 😀
