Wild Cherry Fire – one minute survival tip
The bark of the wild cherry tree is a traditional Native American remedy. However, the bark still has another value: it helps you to kindle a fire.
The wild cherry tree bark burns about 3 times longer, than birch bark. This is helpful if you are forced to kindle a fire under wet weather conditions, where no dry kindling wood (or birch bark) is on hand. To light this bark, however, you need a cigarette lighter, matches or some birch bark like shown in the video.
