How to Eat Bark (survivaltopics.com)

Wait, how are we going to access this information when we really need it, after the lights go out on our civilization? ;-)

There is a long history of eating bark in Finland: http://www.genealogia.fi/emi/art/article43e.htm

Are all pines edible or only the Eastern White Pine discussed in this article? How about other trees?

I read that the Indians in New York would also dry the pine bark, grind it up into flour, and use it to make breads and pemmican.

As a kid growing up in upstate New York I was pretty into "survival foods," until one day I ate Jack-in-the-pulpit shoots. The calcium oxalate it contains made it feel like I had lit my mouth on fire. That sure nipped my "survivalist" career in bud.

Duh

Even my dog can do that. Oh wait, there's no comma.
