Sadly all the natives who would have the answer were shot bushcraft is not very
populer here so it is hard to find some one who would know.

Radiata pine aka monterey pine is native of north america. You can make tea with, eat the pine nuts from it, make flour with the inner bark, make pine pitch or build a tipi with it. If you are really good you can do all this from the one tree.
