I love finding long broken branches on damp grounds. It always makes for a great cordage opportunity and nice long pieces. This video is done using Ash Wood but I found many other trees to provide great stripping bark when it has been lying on the ground. The moisture helps retain the flexibility of the outer bark on a tree. Trying this with dry branches of course would not have as much success :)
