I find petroleum jelly soaked cotton balls all over the woods when I'm out there - you just have to know how to spot them in the wild. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Oh! Tell me more!

More seriously, though, I'd like to know where to look for fatwood! I have some that I found/bought at the grocery store, but I'd really like to know where to look for it in a tree.

Fatwood can be hard to find till ya really know what to look for !

Here is some I found the other day....
