One thing kept tugging at us:\u003cbr data-start=\"449\" data-end=\"452\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"452\" data-end=\"566\"\u003eWhat could we do with all the resin-soaked bark left over from filtering resin for our gums, soaps, and balms?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"568\" data-end=\"930\"\u003eThrowing it away never felt right — especially knowing how long resin has been used by people living close to the land. For thousands of years, many Indigenous peoples purified spruce and pine pitch to waterproof canoes, repair tools, and make adhesives. Resin has always been a powerful, resourceful material, and we try to honor that by using every part of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"932\" data-end=\"1245\"\u003eLong before Alberta Wildcraft existed, resin fire-starting was already part of our family’s outdoor life. On camping trips, hikes, and winter cookouts, we showed our kids how a small piece of dried resin can ignite instantly and burn hot, even in rain or snow. It’s one of the first bushcraft skills they learned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1247\" data-end=\"1468\"\u003eWhen we began making wildcrafted balms and soaps, we naturally kept saving the resin-soaked bark left behind from filtering.
