You could reduce the flame.

Great video! I learned a lot and really enjoyed it

Nice video, but that isn't the best way, it is just a way. I wouldn't even say it is a very great way. For removing the skins, try wetting them lightly to wet the skins, then drying out. With some of our acorns, that works very well and the skins release easily. That is wisdom from native californians, who ate huge amounts of acorn. Get the book "it will live forever" if you want to know more about california native processing methods. Drying acorns whole, then grinding and leaching as needed makes better quality acorn flour than leaching, then grinding, then drying again, but the meal has to be used soon or frozen. The nuts keep better dried in the shell than turned into already leached flour. The oils in acorns are not very stable, so exposing them to water and air makes them oxidize faster. The meal leaches much faster than bigger pieces too. There are lots of ways to process acorns and context plays a role. When used as a staple, storing dry in the shell and processing more by an as needed basis is more practical and healthy.

Great video! Very clear instructions, thank you =)

If you told me minutes 2 - 4 were secretly an analog horror film, I would believe you

Thank you very nice

Thank you

This is really good Please tell me what oil do you use to water proof it?

how long did you keep it charred in fire 🔥

Thank you so much for this video

Nice rock

☺️😉👍

Nice video very well explained , thank you for sharing

You can make char from any natrual cloth, rope, fiber or plant. I have made it out of just about everything at one point or another. My favorite things to make char from are cotton or hemp rope 1/2" to 1" in diameter or rolled or braided denim. I find that having it in a stick form allows for more versatility. You can break of a smal piece or ignite the whole end like a cigar and have a large, hot ember for starting wet or damp tinder or for windy conditions. As long as you make it correctly, it readily takes the tiniest of sparks. Also, you can you any container that is mostly airtight and fireproof. I find that bigger holes or gaps in tins don't matter as long as they don't allow for excessive air flow. You can always cover it with a cloth or tin foil after you pull it out to avoid ignition if it has larger holes or gaps. I have even used aluminum foil tightly wrapped arounf the material. Also, when using a tin, if you put a layer of punk wood on the bottom and then stack your char material on top of it, you get a much better final product that is dull and fluffy and doesn't get hard and shinny as sometimes happens. Also, I like to make a big batch at a time and keep it stored in an air tight container. Then you can toss some in a tin or baggie before your trip and don't have to mess with making it every time or two.

I absolutely agree the hole on the side is brilliant!! Thank you

Thank you for actually using flint and steel on your char cloth. A bunch of guys on RUclips are making char cloth and using a ferro rod to get an ember with the char cloth. If you are using a ferro rod, there is no need for char cloth, it's just an extra step when you can go directly from your ferro rod to an open flame with good tinder or simply a PJ cotton ball.

This is a great video! Very educational! I'm attempting my first batch of acorns - small handful this time around. There blogs with written instructions that skip entire steps or are unclear. Hopefully I can salvage what I have. I have an air fryer/dehydrator that I can use for drying. Fingers crossed!

Does Acorn have caffeine or something? Why were they used for coffee substitutes?

This proceedure is "nuts".no pun intended! I leach acorns in a fraction of this time! Simply put acorn meat in blender w water...Drain off water when done..Do this several times &vtheyll be ready to go!

There are flames only because your tin is completely in a fire. I have a larger 1 qt tin and on a burner you would be hard pressed to see flames. You would need to regulate your burning just at the right strength to give a gentle stream of escaping gas, enough for you to light with a lighter. Otherwise too little escaping gas and lit flame goes out, or too much escaping gas roaring lit flame goes out immediately. I am also surprised that your tin has no liquid smoke residue crystalizing up coating the inside surface of your tins. The again you are only doing 16 pieces at a time. I do about 60 in a qt tin and smoke goes to liguid and then crystallizes completely coating the tin. I did a whole large t shirt, so it took 5 rounds at 25 minutes per. Now i have enough char cloths for a year or two. Good stuff, thanks for sharing.

For cold water, it helps to powder the acorns first. This can’t be done with hot water though, because they will stick together and not leach

What did you add in after the acorns....the brown powder?

Great vid Jarmo, love from the Atlantic

Do floating ones still germinate into live tree

For the love of God will you people quit with this silent movie bullshit this is not 1915 no talk no watch

. . . Old Saying . . . "Stir With A Knife And You Stir Up Strife" . . .

In the drying step , right after the water process , would it not be better to use a dehydrator on them than a stove or open air ? Just a thought , but it seems like you are used to the low tech route .

Awesome now I need to find a nice can like you used. Thanks for the info. 👍

Does it have to be the ash of the tree you mentioned or do most tree ash work?

Does the bottom pieces of cloth will not be that good charred? Because i see it might be that ?

Plastic spoon?

Acorn coffee sounds alot like herbal tea..blech.

well shot and edited video, my man! pleasure to watch and exactly the information i was looking to freshen up. thanks!

So moody and sexy

Ashed tinder... you dont need amadou

Will this work with a ferro rod?

Exceptional instructional video. My favorite aspect is your overall concise shooting style, e.g. butcher-block setup, "unadulterated" live audio, and just enough use of text/diagram overlays. Great stuff - thank you!

What a pain in the- I mean, what an long process!

Thank you for such a calm and soothing video! (and a special thanks for the channel header photo)

im you 500 hudreth subscriber

Tubes might not be good tinder, but they do smoke once lit and are good mosqito repellent.

No survival without coffee 😉

Seams like a lot of prep work

Very nice, usefull and quiet video. I like your work ;)

Squirrels actually do mind tannins. That’s why squirrels leach acorns.

Really like your videos!

Hope to live in Finland over several years, I really like to see it on your videos. It’s so quit and peaceful:) Kiitos!

Do the ashes need to be from Birch? Or would any hardwood ash work?

As always, the solution is... alcohol: ruclips.net/video/xSdF50twDCM/видео.html
