Bushcraft Special - Using our land for everything we can is very important to us. Collecting oil from the bark of the Birch tree. We used an old pot with a hole drilled in the bottom, filled the pot with birch bark, and placed it above an old soup can that was buried up to about an inch below the rim. A fire was kept burning around the pot for 2 hours and the end result was 50ml of birch oil.

Human use of birch tar, which is made by further reducing the birch oil, dates back thousands of years with evidence of it being used to attach arrowheads, build canoes and even being used as a chewing gum. There is also indigenous knowledge of the oil being used to treat conditions like psoriasis and eczema. The oil is said to have anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fungal properties because the bark contains Salicylic Acid and botulin, which are part of the tree’s natural defense system.

Here's an article about the chemist and indigenous professor teaming up to study birch oil:
