Why Fatwood Works When Other Fire Starters Don't
Before manufactured fire starters existed, experienced woodsmen and backcountry travelers relied on fatwood — the resin-saturated heartwood of old-growth pine — as their most dependable wet-weather tinder. When a pine tree dies, its heartwood slowly becomes saturated with crystallized resin. That resin does not care about rain, snow, or humidity. It ignites hot, holds flame, and bridges the gap between spark and sustainable fire faster than almost any synthetic alternative. The GB2 Fatwood Fire Starter — known regionally as lighter pine, fat lighter, pine knot, or lighter knot — brings that same field-proven material into a format built for modern survival kits, camping gear, and home use.
