    5 ways pine trees can help you survive in the wilderness

    One of the most prolific trees in the world is the pine tree.

    We coasted over the waters of White Otter Lake in Ontario, Canada. It was a truly beautiful location with loons diving and singing in the evening air. We were headed for a small island in the center of the lake to make camp.

    While exploring the area, we came upon a group of fellow adventurers with a leaking canoe. It turns out that one of the rivets in their aluminum hulled boat had popped out during their trip. There were two choices.

    The first was to continue to bail water along their trip. The second was to use the repair kit given by Mother Nature: the pine tree.
