Pine resin is highly flammable (sap is not the same as resin) and it can be used to start fires in damp or wet conditions. Collect the resin from breaks in the bark or from broken branches.

Resin can be used as candle wax would be used to create temporary lighting. Fill any depression with the resin as long as the container/receptacle can withstand the heat, and add a wick.
