@Jim in Anacortes is highly sought after during Burning Man for his bundles of combustible fat wood. However, his suggestion to replace the man structure with a great wooden otter confuses the other celebrants.
NFR Let's talk about "fat wood".

Really??? Can we place an order for a 3 course meal? Wife just burned dinner ......
Bohemian Grove has secretly been using fatwood for years...
Confusing anyone at burning man is pretty easy. This year the weather forecast called for heavy rain so they moved to lower, flatter ground on an ancient lake bed to be one with "fatwood otter"
I think the Burning Man theme this year was "Fatwood Beaver".

My dad stopped hunting with his dad when he was 14 or 15. Dad passed away 9 years ago and these are a few items in his pack that he last used around 1960. I wish the Crusher fit my head.

I’ve never seen anyone so thoroughly Hot and Worked up over some Fat Wood.
Here’s a little more porn for you! These pieces weigh just over five pounds. Dense stuff!

This is a stack I have that I use to start fires in the fire pit in the backyard. Not all solid Fatties, but lots in there.

I have that same axe, it's solid.
I have that same bag, used to be my shoulder bag for fishing excursions....
Truly precious family artifacts. A unsolicited suggestion; keep them together, with a written account of their significance.

I plan on doing that with all the contents. But no kids here. I took my nephew hunting two years ago and it’s not for him. I will give it to one of my cousins kids in the future.

Sorry @Jim in Anacortes . I didn’t mean to hijack your fat wood thread.
This thread has resulted in four things....
1) I became a proud owner of a Silky Saw, whose qualities are quite impressive.
2) I will now spend an inordinate amount of my attention to spotting and acquiring a large collection of fatwood while rambling about in the sticks, despite the fact I've not built a campfire in decades, nor have any desire to do so in the future. Thank you Svea, Bluet, and MSR.
3) A backyard firepit might well be a decent alternative...I am 'fired up', so to speak, to experiment with the wonders of fatwood.
4) I've run out of juvenile wood-related jokes (or at least the ones that wouldn't get me a moderator spanking).

You guys should know when Krusty sets the firepit wheels in motion it
A- Will be on or below budget
B- Will be ahead of schedule
C- Will not involve a ring of half-assed home depot retaining wall block bullshit
D- Will have a ridiculous amount of freshly-sourced ponderosa/tamarack Fatwood
E- Will likely have a redundant (but habitual) backup plan of military-grade accelerants
F- The firepit, when lit, will be visible from space
(also point E is why you never want to anger/lowhole Krusty....)

You just brought it standing to attention again...
Damn right! I'm goin' with the 16" wide 64 lb blocks....
But really thinking about one of those big suspended tripod 'cowboy' firepits.
Won't be cooking anything though...that's what microwaves are for!

It is an engorged wood thread
