Fatwood For Beginners (amazing survival knowledge) ❤️

https://off-grid.info/blog/fatwood-for-beginners/

Fatwood - aka "heart pine" or "pine knot" - is widely known to be an excellent lighter wood. It’s the resin-soaked wood that forms when sap from dead pine trees settles into the trunk and branches. If you want some quality fatwood for camping, you have the option of ordering from stores. But what if you’re in a survival situation in the woods or buying pre-made kits is not economical? In the video, Coalcracker Bushcraft offers a hands-on explanation of how to spot fatwood and quickly process it for various uses. 🙂
How To Grow And Harvest Carrots 🙂

https://off-grid.info/blog/how-to-grow-and-harvest-carrots/

Carrots thrive in cool temperatures so depending on your climate, it may be best to plant them during early spring or late fall. The ideal daytime temperature for carrots should be around 75ºF and night temperature should drop to 55ºF. When you grow carrots, the soil surface should be cleared of trash, rocks and large pieces of bark, so rake it thoroughly. You can leave smaller plant matter on the ground because this can help enrich the soil. The quality of the soil is a very important factor in successfully growing carrots; it should be sandy, well-drained loam. Heavy soils cause the carrots to mature slowly.
