Cedar bark is traditionally harvested in late spring and early summer and is much more difficult to remove from the tree and outer bark this late in the year. I was curious it was still feasible to do so. It took a bit more effort, but it seems that the resource is still viable into the fall.

I also tried processing cedar bark down into tinder bundle material by hand instead of scraping it with the back of my knife.

Questions, comments, and suggestions are always welcome.
