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.

Coincidentally, all of these locations suggested above, are also really effective for discovering hornet nests...

Ground hornets…. The bane of all woodsmen. One of the few things I don’t miss about working in the woods.

Never seen me move so fast as when I step and hear the buzzing and see the ground moving.

Not a problem finding in East TX. This came from my yard, old stump. I boxed some up for friends.
