In the first of 3 films, survival expert Sean Collins demonstrates the uses of pine needles and cones in a woodland setting. In subsequent programmmes he talks about pine string and uses for a dead pine tree.

You are what you eat. NUTS!
Very poor camera work
Why post crappy negative comments? Keep it to yourself. If your that good why aren't you making the video. Keep up the good work woodlands
Also avoid Yew.
Aren't many vitamins killed while boiling…?
I heard you should add needels after water is boiled.
In my opinion and with my research you are correct. Of course I do not claim to be an expert but I love my pine needle tea.
You mention the pine needle having vitamin C, but do they have any citric acid in the, by any chance? Thanks.
Houba Hop,
What makes you say that it is a larch? Larch & Tamarack needles are in mass bunches, like 15, 20, 30 & 40. The conifer he was holding is a fir, spruce or hemlock. And to clear up a common misconception, Hemlock conifers are not poisonous. The poisonous Hemlock is an herbaceous plant.
He doesn't saw it but the Yew contains poison and can be mistaken for pine.
you show the men face more than the leaves i can,t see the leaves properly
