I bet this would be good for people who like to hunt… natural sent… side note Vanessa looks amazing for having three kiddos… your husband is a lucky man
It is good to see you putting some weight back on after your illness, and that you had lost so much weight then. It is good to see you healthy and making videos again.
I watched this episode in German first can't speak a word in German but I still enjoyed the whole video you look amazing can't believe you gave birth to three boys stay safe Vanessa
Very useful information. I've seen this method demonstrated before, but have never tried it. In my native Appalachia, people used to make their own soap from ardwood ashes, water, and animal fat. The lye soap is very effective, but the process can be dangerous if tried by those with little experience. I've heard stories of people being injured or even blinded while making lye soap.
Hi Vanessa, in the UK we call them Horse Chestnuts and as kids we called them 'Conkers'. We would make a whole through them and tie them to a shoe string. They would then be crashed together. The winner would be the one that won the most battles. A sixer was quite rare! In the Autumn (Fall for my American cousins) spiders scurry about the place and come out in search of a mate. We used to put Horse Chestnuts by doors and open windows as they would repel the spiders. Also when the leaves of the tree are green along with a little water you can rub them around your hands to clean them. Good instructional video!
How strange! It seems that game of "conkers" followed some immigrants to North America. As a youngster, we used to do the same thing. But we just called it "chestnut fights". Some guys were very into the game and would soak chestnuts in vinegar until next year. They supposedly got very hard to crack with that treatment. But the concept was the same. Your opponent held his chestnut on its string a you took turns trying to crack the other guys chest nut. But... Every win a chestnut made was called one year. So, if you busted your friends chestnut, yours was one year. Then the next opponent came up. If you cracked his, your chestnut was two years old. You are correct. I think I never saw a chestnut last more than six fights. This is one of the things kids like us in less fortunate circumstances used to do to pass the time. And if the guy swinging his chestnut miscalculated and hit your hand...! Oh man that hurt.
I've used so many natural soaps but , I never thought of CHESTNUTS . Love this ! Confession will be hard tomorrow . Lions , Tigers and Wild Woman Bushcraft oh my . 😁😁😁
Hi Vanessa. I’m so glad to see that you have fully recovered from the illness you had from the tick bites. Your facial expressions look completely healthy and normal. Love the soap idea. My brother has several chestnut trees near his home.
In my Youth I collected Hundred of Chestnuts.... In the UK we call them "Conkers" and we played a game with them..... We put them on a string and challenge each other to see who had the strongest nut..... Who would have thought I would be watching a Beautiful Young Lady washing herself in a river with them..... It would have changed my teenage years!! lol.... Bless you Vanessa....... It is good to see you have recovered well.... :-)) xxxxx
Can tell by your accent that you are not from the U S. .... You and your friends look very healthy .... Thank you for sharing your nature lore with us ... My grandmother knew a lot , also .... Keep up the good work ...
That soap seems to work wonderfully! Hard to believe we weren't cold in that water though! Here in the Pennsylvania mountains, it's already quite cool!
Well done! I have heard of using chestnuts as a soap, but I have never seen it demonstrated. The method makes complete sense because when the water comes to a full boil, it is sterilized. The saponification is immediate from the bare nuts. Also, since chestnuts have no scent; means it is safe for people who have a skin sensitivity to fragrance(s). This was very useful, and can be so beneficial in more than just making a soap. It means calming yourself during a relaxing bath. You will sleep better, and think clearly when you're clean, and not sweaty. The "click bait" was a nice surprise. After all, what good is natural soap if it can't be proven to work perfectly. It should also be pointed out that a river, or creek, must be flowing at least 7 miles an hour to be free of protozoans, or other contaminants. This was a great episode! Thank you for posting this important hack in case you are lost during a hike, or practicing bushcraft. Have a great weekend. Prost!
I think it's cool I have a lot of them they it's all natural there's no chemicals in it it's probably healthy for the skin seems how I got sensitive skin and thank you very much I never knew that and I've had them in my yard for 20 years and they're still growing I kind of neat
It's always nice to see your informative videos and hear your pleasant voice,, the way you pronounce certain words like dizz , dem,dat,has, a elegant tone for your personality,your a very interesting person with a lot of girl power..everyone surely loves you and your knowledge to create videos,that is surely worth watching,,Thanks for sharing your spirit ,strength and love for survival techniques, your a special one of a kind person,,love always
My dad gave me one seed to start with and all four of us now four different generations that is had planted horse chestnuts all together what a feeling to commemorate my dad me my daughter her son four generations and then trees are going to outlive me by a long time but they're kind of neat good for you too
Wonderful to see you feeling well and looking healthy. Love your videos and the information you always provide! The click bait was more than welcomed as well. Video was a perfect way to start my day!
Vanessa did you know that you can make coffee out of the chestnut shells too ???..before you roast them make sure you scrape out the soft foamy layer out of the insides of the shells ...then your regular roast grind and brew procedure ...try it I think you will like it ..the smell of the roasted chestnut shells has very good aroma therapy effect ..cheers sweetheart
A real woman of nature. Great tips on nature's beauty supply. I will try this on my dread locks (yes natural and long) as I never use chemicals on my hair or body. P.S. Its obvious you are smart and healthy looking. You deserve the high cofidence you posess. Tip im german channel
