Video Transcription

yes machine survival acorns the dropping so I'm at a local park of my daughter rabbit somehow stay tuned yeah follow me some good ones yep

thank you thank you yep

the best ones are the ones that look like this that a kind of green I want those just like the ones you have was it good thank you oh please loss all right got a nice bagful acorns got a cool book I'm making acorns - it will live forever amazing heat some sweet fern mmm I'll have some too

mm-hmm

all right so now that we've got our acorns

now we're going to do shell and there's two ways to go about this there's a skin on the meat and I'm going to process them both ways this year I'm going to process them by taking the skin off and I'm going to process them by leaving the skin on and see which way is better so these are green acorns which means that they were picked this year and they're fresh another way of processing acorns is to dry them for a year if we process them but I want to see if I can make green acorns edible because I don't want to wait a year you

get some some beautiful meat right here very big looks delicious but here's that skin that I was discussing you can see it has like a yellow film yellow skin comes off so I'm gonna process them both ways this year and see which way is better are you doing looks like you're eating a snack and yeah okay my dirt and what's this piece of quartz yeah nice okay so now I have a nice little bowl of acorns I'm going to just start working on breaking them up and pottering them yeah

so see we got now yo I need an 8 quart it will be that can change for you much better ma please I need to pick one be at the attention please look at our little bird acorns over for us dad please you want to play with the coal a core yeah just you think oh yeah I think honey for Jonny crash dog hired a bit want to stand the acorns up yeah yeah hold it still for you okay hit this one see you put your finger underneath the top and put all the way down the bottom yeah and you don't hit your finger this will be careful your finger on your hang almost we do it on stone it works better see this rock right here put the Acorn on that rock so look you stand it up and then you just hold it from the side watch then you take your stone and you hit it a couple of times here that many cracks open yeah it's hard to open some help watch if you push the top and bottom it gets bigger it's easier to open then you can pull it apart try squeeze it and pull okay so as you can see making huge progress it really doesn't take long at all but this is about where I stuff last year this is not where you want to stop that's why my Ekholm is a little bitter last year so I want to powder eyes it taking out some of the skin pieces I want to powder Isis you want to keep going so I'm gonna just grind it a little bit

by God some and beat you what do you got it's me fun yeah all right so it's really polarizing good for me now you can see have a real fine grit there get them up so I'm going to just dump that into a bandana to hold it okay so that's a corn is green a corn and this has the skin on it the brown skin that's on the meat so now I'm going to put it in my bandana so I can keep it all together and transport it and the next step I'm gonna do is I'm gonna gonna dry it I'm gonna just lay it out and just let it dry okay when it feels like it's dry and crispy I'm gonna throw it back in my bowl I'm gonna reap outer eyes it so I'll get a finer grain when it's dry is right now it's very moist and oily and then I'll leach it after that that way I can transport it smells so good okay so first stage is done we gather the acorns we broke them up he shelled them and we mash them up into a powder to mention your survival appreciate use conscious for it see in the next one take care
