How to light fatwood


We don’t have many conifers around our ancient woodland camp, but recently we were gifted some fatwood by Joe, who lives in Snowdonia.  Joe attended our IOL Bushcraft Competency Certificate training course earlier this year.

So I thought I’d put together a short video showing how to prepare and ignite fatwood.

We teach how to light fatwood on our 2 Day & 5 Day Bushcraft Courses, the IOL Bushcraft Competency Course . 

You can see plenty of photos from all of these courses on our Facebook page.
