as you are in a pine area it's also time to check for some resin, old injuried tree will bleed and resine will cure as its getting down, on the trunk.
pick it using bare hand and a hatchet to pry off as it's a bit hard to do sometimes.
put into a old can and get a fire started to make it melt,and have an easy storage instead of powdering your whole bag.
then you have for little effort your old timer epoxy , can be used also to make survival matches (piece of cloth wrapped around the match, and dipped in hot resin by the bottom leaving red part clean)
and so on...
