It is easy to find in big hardened chunks where limbs have broken off or been cut. This stuff is great in a bush situation. It stays lit for hours because of the wood alcohol in it; even in wet conditions, and best of all it smokes like hell and doesn't even smell that bad.
I love the stuff for lighting fires. Heat it up to melting point and spread it on cat tails or rags for torches. Makes great glue too for leaks in canoes or boats or even tents. Fresh wet sap can be used as a coagulant when cut or injured. Also good for signal fires if you have enough of it.
Kinda of like nature's duct tape.
