Truth

In humid weather dried needles of coniferous species - one of the best materials, flammable by a spark. Moreover, they may very well ignite even when they are wet. Therefore, if the needle on your Christmas tree enough to dry and fall off, they can safely be used as tinder.

Firewood

Of course, if the pine needles are ideal for kindling the fire, the trunk and branches can be used to maintain it. The needles can simply be left on the surface of the wood for a better buildup. Needles can also be inserted into the branch, and then set fire to her fire.

Device for fishing

Broken branches can be used as camouflage while hunting or any other case in which you want to merge with the terrain. Even when dry and yellowed, the branches of your New Year tree will help you to carefully disguise.

Water filter

The strangest and at the same time easy to manufacture a filter for water, according to research by scientists from the MIT, made of pine and other conifers. These rocks are porous enough to pass water through itself, but sufficiently dense to trap many pathogens. Most bacteria have a length of from 1 to 10 microns, and a hole in the tree structure small enough that they are not missed. Cut a piece of approximately 2 centimeters long and 3 centimeters wide and tightly insert it into a vinyl tube. This homemade hose dip into the tank, where the water will drain. If the wooden plug is tightly inserted into the tube, the water will leak only through it, not around.
