Finding fatwood in the west?

[Britt-dog]

I find it all over. Standing dead trees, or trees that died standing and fell years later are the best. look in the roots and lower branch knots.

If you ever see a really old down tree/log look for the "pine knots." the place where the limb met the tree trunk. Often times on Ponderosas these will have a lot of resin in them.
