PRIMITIVE TECHNOLOGY | Big Wooden Mortar And Pestle | Corn Meal Gruel
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 июн 2017
- Since I've wanted to make a big mortar and pestle for some time, I decided to pay tribute to Primitive Technology.
Thanks for the write-up on Food Processing Jayman Newell: jayrodin.blogspot.ca/2017/06/t...

**Guys, I'm not trying to be the real Primitive Technology, ain't nobody got time for that. I couldn't imagine cutting down a tree with a stone axe, dry it for a season or two, burn it, scrape it down and mud it for a week or longer. I used cheats where I could, drilled out the center when I was tired. It still took me 15 hours even with all the cheating. If you want, think of this as a bridge between fantasy and reality. I wanted a big mortar and pestle to grind down corn and at first I thought of all the ways to make it easier, and as it turns out, making coals and blowing and scraping is one of those ways. Unless you have a big lathe, then this is cost effective, but still very time consuming method, every bit as difficult as it seemed and more.
The mortar (the hollowed log) took about 3 full days to hollow out, quite deceiving from the video. I tried a number of things to speed it up including boring out the centre with an auger, but fire worked the "best." It was still a big process that included a lot of hot coals, a lot of blown oxygen and equal amounts of scraping. In fact, scraping and dumping was nearly a continuous job throughout the 3 days.
The pestle (the blunt club) was thankfully nearly ready-made since I found a dry piece of heavy lumber that only required a bit of cutting of some of the branches and a light rounding in order to produce the right shape to pounding into the mortar.
The mortar and pestle combination worked surprisingly well together and with a little bit of effort crushed the corn into meal.
I boiled the cornmeal for quite a while since I was using a low grade field corn usually fed to cattle which is quite chewy and heavy shelled. The ash from the mortar is a good addition and during cooking helps break down and release more of the nutrients in the corn. Using ash is a common way that Native American's would cook corn. The parching which was done in the cast iron pan helps make the corn brittle and thus turned into meal much faster and with less effort.
It really did smell great once crushed, much like popcorn. A flint corn or a popcorn type corn would have been more ideal to use, but isn't readily available in my farming community.
I added fresh wild local strawberries and home made maple syrup as well as wild black walnuts saved and dried from the fall. The flavours of all these complimented each other well to produce a corn meal gruel topped with maple syrup, black walnut and wild strawberry.
This is not just "survival food," this is a staple food

next time, try skinning your corn first by using wood ash (lye). Skin it, dry it. The put it in the mortar. That's old school traditional way, Shawnee style. (also whole bunch of tribes from the middle Ohio valley and American SE)
I love your take on primitive technology. You use some modern tools which just makes sense for people like me who aren’t as patient and lack bushmanship. Great work, man. You’ve got my sub
Thanks!
Thank you for posting this video. My eight y/o daughter had to to a project on colonial jobs. She picked an inventor and we found a women, Sybilla Masters who in 1712 invented a “hammering” corn mill. She was inspired by the watching the Native American women pounding the corn with a large wooden post. I have been searching the internet for an example to show my daughter. This did the job. So cool! Thanks
The whole silent video thing is so refreshing. Thanks for this tribute. Your both awesome.
Thanks Jagger, I actually much prefer this method. I find it too taxing to do all the research and monologue especially when I get a few comments here and there telling me how dull it is LOL
oh, another shoutout! ;) that was me, i said it was dull. just to clarify: i like it better when you talk. my point was that you could say things using fewer words. i get it, you want to be super clear and accurate but the vast majority who hasn't studied the edibility of waterlily roots over years needs only one information: "tatstes like shit!"
i hope you being silent in this video was not a reaction to my comment?
Nope, not at all! This was more off the cuff video. I have plenty more talky-talk videos coming, I haven't gone mute. Yeah, I'm staring to get that people don't want all the guts like I do. I pretty much learning this as an experiment as I go. Once I get more mastery of "living off the land," things will get more and more brief and it will be more results driven. For now I'm looking to master a skill. I've done this for more than one topic in my life. I talk, think and sort through ideas until I find the truth or get closer to it. I rarely get offended, but do listen. Part of the work I'm doing is to make a better YT channel, but the other part is to sort though possible ways to master living off the land. So excuse me while I work through a few thoughts :) Hopefully that makes sense. So short answer LOL, is nope, not a reaction, just something that happened organically.
If you get a chance, check out Nicholas Wituik. He said he only spoke in one of his videos. The rest are done silent. Weird but good. I kind of feel like a peeping Tom! I hope when I do hear him speak he doesn't sound like Micheal Jackson :P
Always nice to see your friction fire skills on display
Thanks bud, getting pretty reliable at this! Although it's pretty tricky in the rain and snow still and I don't like carrying around all the things you need. Just can't beat a bic LOL
Wow this is awesome! I can imagine the strong energy from the Fire, Earth Air and Water. Great video I need one just like that!
Love this video, your mortar and pestle is almost identical to the traditional Choctaw mortar. The meal you made is also almost identical to “Oksak Bahpo”, Choctaw walnut/hickory nut and cornmeal pudding.
Yum! I love corn mush with maple syrup, its one of my fave breakfasts. I will have to try it with nuts and berries now.
Great video, as usual! I'm no expert at large-scale meal-grinding, but I've heard that it's more efficient to simply lift and drop the pestle into the mortar. The weight alone is enough to do the grinding, without the need to slam it down. Smashing it hard can also scatter the grain, if there's a large quantity. Then again, when I see the "lift & drop" used, it's usually for millet, wheat and sorghum; maybe corn takes more elbow-grease.
Dried corn, even parched, is tough. I've seen kids do the pestaling and they put some body into it! I think it does help. But yeah, it can splash out!
My inner 6 year old is fan girling so hard. I remember I used to go out into the woods with friends and we'd gather ingredients to cook. From empty tin cans to plastic containers which we would use in our pretend kitchen. Not saying that what you're doing is childish (which if it was, it would be the most hardcore game of pretend kitchen I have ever witnessed), it just brought back memories of my childhood.
If we stop playing, we're guaranteed to get old :) Happy to bring back some memories for ya!
I came here for the shirtless man in the thumbnails and I am subscribed for the cute little strawberries.
Awesome vid man. Primitive Technology is a favorite.
He's a good kid and puts a lot of effort into his videos. No wonder why he only has an upload every 3 months or so. This stuff is so time consuming, it's ridiculous. I also didn't use just primitive tools. Couldn't imagine what people used to go through.
right? gathering, gathering, gathering, sorting spoiled from unspoiled, picking out pebbles, crush, crush, crush, make a fire, boil, eat, go to sleep, get up and do it all over again the next day.
David White, That's what I was thinking. It looked like it had to take 3 days to make breakfast! :)
John Di Francisco that’s why we mostly only survived in small groups
John Di Francisco so then we could hunt and we could send people scouting for good areas to harveste
Cool video, just found your channel and impressed with the content. Keep it up!
Thanks Chris!
I guess you nailed it. The calm silence of the woods has all this power to make everything like... an idea of a paradise inside my mind.
Exactly right. Now snap out of it snook and get back to work. The real world doesn't just hand you shit LOL
@@TheWoodedBeardsman True indeed. By the way, it's been almost three years now and some of the most watched videos of the channel are about primitive technology. I guess it means it was a good idea for a series of videos in the channel after all. Also, you did a marvelous work in the videos. Respect.
Nicely done. Almost as if you're copying someone.... hmmmm.... NOPE doesn't ring any bells. I love watching these type of videos be it from you or someone else. They're calming, relaxing and educational. You should do more like these honestly
Copying is the biggest form of flattery!
losing shoe in the mud. You are the bearded cinderella of the woods
I wish. Now bring me my Prince, all I have so far are white knights defending Sir Primitive Technology. bahahahaa.
I can't but I can send you mice to help you sew your dress
I haven't worn a dress until my nosy neighbours reported me to police. That was a very unpleasant experience.
Damn nosy neighbours, with their antlers and fishy eyes. They called the raccoon police officers. Stay strong Sir Wooded Beardsman. It is us against the wild.
beardpunzel with his huge pestle.....
Imma be honest,this is the 1st video of yours I watched, I clicked this video because of the thumbnail lol very toned body and a beard....of course your skill and video quality kept me watching. 😊great work
Awesome video of the making of a home made large motar with fire and of primitive food. Thanks for sharing! Bummer your shoe came off in the mud when walking.
Thanks Jude!
Great video! But why leave out the part where you made that wonderful bushcraft spoon? Craftmanship in all its glory
Take care man
//Eric
You got me there. Pinned, cause I'm really a disinterested bushcrafter. Just trying to git 'er done.
Haha :) Btw, are we gonna see more from the location you and your son cleared out?
You just saw it! That's the spot. Jeremy is coming up, so we may use it for more cooking. It's far too wet to camp at, but it's not far away from my house so I can still use it for outdoor cooking which is nice, since there aren't too many places around here where I can make a fire.
That awkward moment when you go to subscribe only to find out you already subscribed some time in the past and completely forgot about it.
:)
Amazing i tried planting corn in the watnong mountains and they buldozed it this year im going to try in the appalachian mountsins this will give you a fast yeild thanks for sharing i may use this desigbn for acorn flour too
Thanks for another great video never made mortar and pestle but did as a child learn from grandmother how to crush corn and make corn meal mush
Could be a useful skill someday :)
Omg I have that same pot with the folding and locking handle...love that little thing 😁 can't wait to make my own burn out mortar and pestle for my homestead
That is so impressive !! Well done. Also, I really enjoy the Videos with minimal audio. It permits us (your audience) to really focus on the visual.
Thanks Judi!
I missed this video somehow. Well done, that looks great!
Great work.. very versatile ingredients you have produced. These flours will be great for absorbing any nutrients they come into contact with..
That slug totally took a dump on the edge of your pan lol. Cool tools man, quite the burn out on that log!
I didn't think of it that way at the time, but now...ewwww. :)
This is a fantastic video! I can imagine this isn't easy by any means, but it seems incredibly useful in a bushcraft camp or survival situation. As the camp in my woods progresses, I might have to look to something similar! Great video as usual :)
Thanks Ben. I've wanted one for a while but Jeremy keeps telling me that he won't use it and would rather use his machine grinder. hahaha
the man in primitive technoly give people inspiration to follow him... ... i like it
Exactly!
Much love and respect my fellow wooded beardsman
silence must have been hard to contain the urge for someone who doesnt stop talking haha
hahahah! Got me there. I actually don't mind not talking, talking is exhausting for me :) I'm actually introverted, but it's not super easy to convey everything silently.
The Wooded Beardsman cool! im introverted too, dont talk much until theres something interesting then I wont stop blabing haha
Now I know you're the real deal. Same here brother.
I absolutely love this!! Am I the only one here that doesn't recognize what kind of tree that was from? 🤷♀️
I enjoyed the video and have been enjoying the channel all week have watched most of your videos (binge watching) keep up the good work
Thanks Patrick! I'm glad you're finding them useful and hopefully informative too!
I love primitive technology the channel. So I thought this was hilarious. Good job on the mortar and pestal
That's quite a tea cup you made . Not too easy to carry in a bag. Still the results were impressive . Thanks Brian 77
LOL, yeah, it's more of a homesteading operation! Too portages...just to bring the crushing tool LOL
Good job my friend, very nice video....
Nice Job! The Grub looked Great!!
Thanks PawPaw!
Well, you fooled me.
Nice! So on to a million views LOL
Mmm, fire. Always a good way to start a video.
You might of used some modern tools but i think this video was fantastic. Good job
Thanks Liam...it was more about making a primitive tool, the mortar and pestle than it was about NOT using modern tools. Making the pestle really was quite a challenge even using modern tools.
That was cool!
Maybe you can use it to crush chokecherries up so they fit down garbage disposal easier 😅
I've been thinking about building a set
Great video 🎯
Good call! I was thinking about it, but not sure if I want all that juice in the bottom! Maybe a rock version would be better. I'll have to think about that!
The Wooded Beardsman I got the metate and Mano cleaned up
Anxious to use it this fall on painted mountain corn.
It' a good one, and I think what would work best. I may need to make one as well :)
I found your video when I was doing research on mortar and pestles and molcajetes. All of the other videos stressed the fact that a new one has to be cleaned and seasoned, usually by grinding dried corn, rice, course salt, and then maybe garlic and spices, depending on what material it is made of. And all of that material gets tossed. I don't think I could have stomached all that corn with the added ash from the sides of the log. Did you do something off camera? Didn't you get ash in your food?
Great question!!!! I actually used a chainsaw...but keep that between you and me LOL. But you're right, there would be so much ash in it that it would be totally unusable. If you look closely, you might be able to see the cut marks from the saw. I didn't have any idea how to make one to begin with...and thought it would have been much easier. I'm no traditionalist though, just fudged my way along. Turned out really good though!
Its clear you were just paying homage to Primitive Technology, not trying to copy or anything. People need to calm down. Good video man, this looks awesome!
Thanks.
The Wooded Beardsman So you admit you were trying to mimic PT's video style?
Common sense would say the video style is similar so he doesnt have to admit to anything. Its just a video style. There are other people who use the words Primitive Technology in their titles. Whether they did it before or after Primitive started is irrelevant. The Wooded Beardsman has dozens of other videos that have more views and dont say Primitive in the titles. Lets just enjoy good content and stop getting caught up on things that dont matter.
Of course I was. But I wasn't being literal as people claim. I mean if I wanted to rip him off totally, I would have done a better job.
Exactly. I made a primitive tool, the very nature of which is primitive technology and I thought it would have been fun to film it, or rather, edit it, into a style that was similar to PT, for the fun of it. If people can't put Primitive Technology in the title, then only one person can make PT and that's not how the world works. If this genre is to advance, and people enjoy the editing and video style, badmouthing and shitting all over creators, isn't helping anything. Move over and make room. All this nasty hate is only looking bad on the commenters at this point.
Great video.
If you have an appreciable number of walnuts (that were previously hulled), you can use primitive technology two stage flotation to both check quality and separate the shell from the meat after cracking them. First stage, throw the whole walnuts into water. Use top floaters for something other than food. Keep the sinkers. Crack the sinker walnuts thoroughly, then throw the crushed shells and meat into water and let settle. Everything that floats is used for something other than food. Everything that sinks becomes food. Bon appétit.
Right! Works for acorns too. I find that walnuts will almost all float in their shell, but you're right, after crushing, the nutmeat will sink and the shell which is basically wood (burns really well too) floats to the surface. Walnuts really need a nut pick, or pliers, but, hey, more modern tools right.
What kind of Wood did you use for this? I want to make one but I want it to last so I'm thinking Oak.
That is the camp you and your son cleared beside the stream ehh? nice day and the food was worth the wait and work. Ah, forgot to use captions- fp.
Ha, yup, this is in. We've had a ton of rain, so there was no hope that it would be dry this year. I'm considering bringing in some soil to have a grassy area at least, but this does quite nicely for cook-outs so not all bad. Otherwise I'm very limited when it comes to outdoor fires and cooking near home.
i loves me some bow drill action! is that your new camp site area you were working on? im surprised you wouldnt see any trout in there look at the last video i posted where even in my tint spring brook the trout just showed up once i dammed a little area lol Great video man cheers!
There are trout really far downstream from here, this is a feeder into the main. It's spring fed and only about 3 inches deep, so maybe holds some fingerlings before they move down. I can easily see everything in there and there aren't even minnows, but it runs nice and cool, perfect for drinking. And yeah, it's a bit soggy for a camp spot, but it works.
That was fun! A lot of work I reckon, how many hours were you out there doing this, I'm gonna guess at least 5?
Triple that...around 15 hours! Crazy huh? I did it over the course of 3 days. If I had the technique right straight away, maybe about 8 hours. If I just used primitive tools i.e. none, then probably a week since you have to find a way to fell a tree that big LOL, no metal scraper, no metal ring, no shove for transporting coals....etc.
Holy crap! That is crazy. Still looked like a blast though, till next time bro
Full stop, but if I had not watched later videos I wouldn't know that was black walnuts or that was maple syrup...LOL
where can i find the pot you used? ive got a cheap one but it does not latch down so i cant use it like a pot, but forced to use it like a pan, i'd love to hang it to boil water and what not but with my set up it is not possible, thanks.
It's an MSR.
I enjoyed it emencely. A pleasant departure from the typical, it was extremely educational. How long did it take to make the mortar? I love maize in any form and to make meal as such was incredible. If you took the ashes and soaked the corn in a slurry, dry the kernels, you'd have hominy then grits, and finally, a masa for tortillas. Too bad about the moccasin.
Moccasin LOL. Yeah I'm going to get there once I find some better corn. This field corn isn't the greatest for human consumption, but broken like this, was quite edible! I may try some this week coming. Jeremy is coming up and we've got a special guest for dinner LOL. Video won't be up for a few weeks though...BUT I do have some other stuff to release first that we filmed up North.
what kind of woods were used in his clip?
goood work . thank you for sher videos
You're welcome!
See Chris you are a bush Crafter! I new you made cool stuff. How is the fishing and garden coming along? I hope all is well. Nice video.
I totally found my calling in life! Garden if full of pig weed :) Just waiting for the squash and corn to take off and clobber the pig weed. Been eating a little bit of it now and again. Good news is that it's been raining a lot. Records in fact. So it should explode once the sun gets out there.
Our garden is full of pig weed to! I need to till it. Lots of rain here in Michigan. Rivers are all pretty high. My wife and I tried fishing but no bites. Good news I got a new camera so maybe I can get some good videos up like you.
Take care.
How long did the actual grinding of the corn take, once you were set with your mortar and pestel? Many thanks.
A minute or two at the most! It's very effective!
Great!! Thanks so much. I'm going to find someone locally that can make one for me...it will be a great way to grind my sprouted grains for sourdough! You really helped me a lot by taking the time to make this video and reply-- thanks for your work.
That was a lot of work! Goes to show the struggles of primitive peoples, muscle would have been no problem, no need for a hymn membership. How did the end product taste? I'm thinking it would keep a fella pretty regular lol. Thanks great video. 👍
It was pretty darn good. Better than I expected! It's funny because it looked kind of gray, but the flavor was quite good. Kind of like sweet straw popcorn. The texture was a little more gritty than I had hoped, but not bad for a first run.
How long did it take you to make the mortar and pestle? Nice job! Prince John ;)
Where did you get the corn from?
I really love how he went silent on the vid! haha :) Just like PrimTech does
0:42 is it a primitive shovel?
When compared to a backhoe, yes.
lets see you soak some corn in ashes or lime water,de-hull it after soaking and rinsing and the grind it on a stone for corn flour tortillas.i think nixtamalizing the corn then grinding on stone would be easier and faster. i hope you do this and then do a video comparing both ways telling us pros and cons you see from your experiences.good job by the way of 'doing it' you really practice what you talk about.
I had planned to do this a few times, but I never managed to find any decent corn besides the shit they sell at the feed store which is field corn. I will say, that parching it like this and grinding it did a much, much, better job than just boiling it without ash. I'll try an experiment with ash and see what happens. It apparently takes hours to do, which can be tedious over a fire.
do you ever see hominy in local store? this corn has been nixtamalizied and not ground into flour yet.this would give you a much better flour taste wise to try grinding but you would miss out on the process of soaking.
p.s. the cut worms leveled all my corn at a few inches tall....grrrrrr
I have looked, but since I live in Canada, corn really isn't all that traditionally eaten unless it's on the cob. I will keep looking around though. I've done a bit of research into hominy. Might have to just wait until I get my own corn...unless the mites get into them, which I'm not looking forward to.
nixtamalizied ? Sorry about your corn :(
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixtamalization
So wouldnt the burned wood residue mix with whatever you are crushing with the pestle?
Maple syrup, yummy. Did you taste test and decide it needed a little more after the strawberries were added? Charcoal has to be good for you, too. Wild strawberry season is upon us, blueberries next! Blackberries are in bloom, to wrap up after the blueberries. I had a few winter green berries from through the winter still on the stem just the other day, they just keep going and going. Do you need a blueberry rake?
Hmmmm, a blueberry rake. Yeah, maybe! Jeremy is coming up, ask me again in about 2 weeks and I'll see what he says. He lives quite close to a really great patch and I'm sure we could both put it to use in Season 2 of TWLC. I didn't taste test much, but it turned out really great. Had just the right amount of everything. A bit worried I had too much corn and not enough strawberries, so held back some of the gruel. I'm glad I did, as I couldn't even eat the whole lot.
You needed someone to share it with. At first I thought you were going to make corn cakes or something, a porridge works.
I need a sifter to get a better grind and might need a rock to do the final. It was still a bit lumpy, still quite edible though.
Great video 👍🏼
Thanks Scooby!
Great video. So why start off the description with an apology? Come on.....I'm freaking jealous over here. So what genuine reason is there to apologize or explain your short cuts?
Great job!
Thanks!
wonderful video.
Thanks bud!
Pfffffft. Not Gruel with all that extra flavor in there. them berries and that syrup XD Either way you did good. and id love to see yall colab some day if you haven't already.
Is this video inspired on the channel Primitive Technology? Because I freaking love that channel and I would love you to make more similar videos!
Yup! Plan to do at least one more if people enjoy it.
the video is awesome. also i found hilarious the fact that spreading the stuffs in little portion is funny when you end up using them all. Like (in the red stuffs) why didnt he put all of them at once. yeah. you are right idk what are the red stuffs. nice video. ok i found thay could be red raspberries.
It's wild strawberry.
nice... you hould of put river gravel in first and washed and cleaned. then it would ave looked nice lol
Can you make a barrel with this technique? with more modern tools you could get rid of more chars and have a relatively clean barrel, you could possibly do it with primitive technology.
the mortar part?!still waiting for something to go boom
Great episode, though I'd have just put all the ingredients in the cooking pot or in the separate bowl and saved myself the drippy mess. Looks delish!
Usually I would, but I cooked a bit too much to eat and I didn't want to dissolve the strawberries since the flavor was much needed.
Well I guess there is Bush Crafting and then there is Real Woodsman Skills! That is what you have. How is the air fern WildCrafter been doing?
He's on his way up to the South here next week! He's busy as always.
Question, with obvious answer from video. are wild strawberries good to eat? I read they are good/bad.... I see them all the time while on my walks, and curiously tempted to try them. can wild strawberries be mistaken for some other poisonous plant that I'm not aware of? the ones I see are in the grass as depicted in this footage.
I find them to be better than cultivated variety, more sweet and more flavor. The store bought ones are often more like an apple, crunchy, with lots of core, but little flavor. If it smells like a strawberry, it's most likely a strawberry. link: theprepperproject.com/wild-strawberries/
The Wooded Beardsman Thanks for the prompt response, and I shall give them a go on my next trek. Keep the videos coming, never become discouraged, you bring reality to the ways of the old. It isn't easy, and knowledge is power/survival.
This awesome bushcraft channel and the video he's amazing way to learn about great outdoors and experience I am glad to support this amazing man and his exciting bushcraft channel 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😀👍😀👍👍👍👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Donna!
1:45 he smithed it?
What does mortal and pestals do?
You’ve probably been asked this a lot but when are you gonna go on alone?, you’d do well.
Never, they didn't think I was good enough.
yaah this stuff is way better. i enjoy. do more.
Will do!
that slug was lucky it wasn't the survival challenge series.
:)
I'm calling fake. Everyone knows primitive people didn't wear shoes in their RUclips videos. They got more likes that way.
Too true! I revealed too much of what was happening "behind the curtain." The fantasy of a Western man living 100,000 years ago has vanished. Just think of me as the guy who bridges between Primitive Technology and the real world LOL
GQGeek81, Well he lost a shoe and didn't wear a shirt so he got my like and subbed! ;)
Forgot to mention.. @2:05, I was watching and thought to myself; « How is he going to stop the edges from burning out completely? » .. Of course, the CLAY! Lol 😬👍
Yup, without it, you can't get the burn to go straight down...which is really the hardest part...driving that heat to the bottom of the stump since heat wants to go up!
Love your RUclips channel name😁
Thanks Chloe!
VG hit liked - hope u brought your tooth brush for all that sugar.
i like this project, but i wished you had scraped more of the coal out of the mortar. i would have liked to see a more yellow cornmeal than a dark one. btw, i never made a mortar before, but i use to use them a lot when i was growing up in jamaica. we did cornmeal, mill rice, make curry powder and a lot more. i have lost most of those roots when i come to america, i need them back badly. much respect.
I never had any roots! Trying to form my own :) It's fun to know where we came from, even if it's just as a hobby. Helps you gain respect for what our ancestors went through.
Good arms brother. 👍🏼
Thanks Dougie!
I'm wondering why you put so much effort into a nice mortar and pestle and corn meal mash, and then make such a crappy spoon! :P Good video :D
You know me :) I wanted to eat corn meal and that was the easiest way to mash it!!!
Awesome
Thanks Christopher!
I kept thinking how is he going to stop the sides of the log from burning out.....water or oh..... clay or mud cool. I wonder how long it actually took to burn down that deep. Thank you for the video I would have never thought someone would get upset over this .
Hopefully the alphabet people won't get angry over the letters you've used .
Thanks again
It took more than a few days! Surprised me how long it really took!
how did it taste? was it yummy?
It was fantastic!
So this is one of those things you could build on alone ?
I could, but wouldn't. Well, unless I found some whole dried corn :)
Good video
Thanks bud!
this is Canada ?
Yup!
This is very clearly a homage, rather than a rip-off. You like the guy, and you wanted to make something acknowledging your respect for his videos. I see nothing wrong with that.
It might be a problem if you were trying to pose as him to get views and likes from unwitting viewers, but it's obvious this video is made by someone else.
in your goat video you mentioned i could see the primitive technology comment here.. did i miss it? :O
Should be pinned at the top!
Primitive Technology
7 months ago
Good work Wooded Beardsman. I see some negative comments about your use of the term "Primitive Technology". It should be noted that the term "Primitive Technology" is a description of this hobby and NOT a trademark that I own. To trademark the term would be like trying to trademark the term "Fishing", and that would be absurd. I encourage you to make videos however you want and call them whatever you want. If you want, pin this comment so people can see my opinion. Keep up the good work, Thanks.
Ha ha ha. All you need now is a high, vertical tree limb. Hang the pestle with cordage from the springy tree limb, above the mortar. All you need to do is easily pull down the pestle. The tree limb springs up the pestle. A spring-loaded tree limb pestel and mortar system. The more the movement, the more the spring movement assists in the up and down motion. Then change up the system into a vertical blade saw table (1900s technology), or a (Canterbury) pedal-operated spring carving lathe.
Sorry ... but LOL ... Split the log with a wedge into further small sections, then saw out the bottom of the inner section and wedge out the inside portion, like a wine cask stave. Cut a small indent around the top and bottom of the cask ends. Put back together with pine pitch/tar on the section edges, and wet, stretched, outer cordage (or rope) tied together that dries super tight ... no metal wine cask bands. Old style shipping barrels before Industrial (iron) Revolution.
Just re-watched the Ringo Starr movie of dinosaurs and primitive man. At the fire, they made all their cooking gear into musical instruments and singing. Waiting to hear you pound up the corn, and singing a primitive song ... DDDD
I just realized this channel is called The Wooded Beardsman, was it supposed to be The Bearded Woodsman?
Nope, that's someone else!
what a stud!!!
