I notice no ones said anything about this but when you’re boiling ocean water you’re getting more than just sodium chloride, which is what basic table salt is. There’s a whole bunch of different sodium’s and other minerals in here, and if there’s any pollutants or anything in that water you’re getting that in there too. Boiling doesn’t just make that stuff disappear.
@@iridios6127 lol when it comes down to it you’re just boiling water, and whatever’s in that ocean water is gonna more than likely end up in that salt.
@@rockerroller I understand that you are probably fully uneducated in chemistry. But here’s a hint - different salts crystallize differently. It’s just like extracting gasoline, diesel and all sorts of other substances from raw oil. Do not evaporate all brine and all unedible remains in the last 5%.
@@iridios6127 I’m not talked about just salts, unfortunately we as humans don’t really treat the ocean as well as we should, you have micro plastics, Mercury, and hundreds of other chemicals and other substances mixed in ocean water. Yeah different salts are there as well, but that’s just one aspect. Just as a question is there a way to get that crap out before boiling?
I filter my seawater first, through a muslin cloth, sometimes even through a carbon block. It doesn't take too long but its worth getting rid of the little creepy crawlies that you can't see like plankton and other micro debris like plastics or metals. If you prefer unfiltered, it's totally to your discretion.
We live on a sailboat in the Caribbean and never would have thought to do this. I’m going to try this on our outdoor grill to keep the heat and humidity out of the boat. (We literally sold our organic hobby farm to sail…that’s how we found your channel). Thanks!
Going to share with my boyfriend. We just had baked spuds tonight, and he is a salt user. After supper, he wondered how sea salt was gotten, so I came to this very well explained vid! Bless your very spirit! Not nearly as complex as I thought.
@manuelvalinhas5547 The point of this, is being able to get your own things, without relying on society. Like if something worse then Covid happens, and stores stay empty. And you build a solar battery powered Electric Vehicle, or use a normal bicycle you can maintain yourself, have an adventure to the coast, and you can either bring containers to carry back salt water, or, pans, and things to start 2 campfires to make salt onsite.
I've been harvesting sea salt (from the Oregon Pacific Ocean Coast) for years....easy and I do it once a year to last a year. I think it's awesome! great job friends
I'm curious, since I live near the ocean too and would like to start harvesting my own salt aswell....how much water do you need to boil to get a year's worth of salt? About how many ounces of salt do you get?
What If I live in Florida and deal with things life toxic algea Bloom and chemical runoff from soda companies. Would this process concentrate or remove some of those things?
Thank you, great video. I was just getting a refresher on how to get drinking water from sea water, and I thought, wait, I can get seasoning salt from that brine, don't throw it away. NighthawkinLight did a great video on condensing broiling sea water to pure water, then just discarded most of it on the ground, and I'm like, you just killed grass, and could have made seasoning salt from that.
I grew up near the Great Lakes, but now live on the Rock as well- As I type, I am looking out the window over Placentia Bay, and will definitely be trying this :)
I've been watching your videos for a few weeks now and the other day I heard them talk about you guys on the French CBC radio here in the LMD! Thought it was pretty cool.
Thanks for your message. It turned in to a bit of a snowball the last few weeks lol. Had articles in London and Russia as well. A little overwhelming. Lol Thanks for following along
This would be a great project in winter over a wood stove. I already set water on it most of the winter as the atmosphere gets too dry in the home. Might as well harvest salt while at it. 😁
anyone ever try a countertop one gallon water distiller? save humidity in house esp in winter and you get distilled water for batteries or cooking, been drinking distilled for almost fifty years
I've never boiled sea water without the intention of throwing a crab or two in it. And I never would have guessed you're get that much salt. That's pretty cool.
0:38, would have never figured this area for ocean water just from looking at it , always thought it had to be a beach head or deep water with large waves
Thanks for the video, 2 questions, is there any concern about pollution in the sea water or does the boiling kill all that? And could you put it on greaseproof paper in the oven? Cheers.
Hello 👋🏻 I came from the video "Exploring Alternatives" Channel made about you guys. You both are doing great! Congratulations and wish you the best!! I love mother nature so, I'm loving your channel already 🏞💗 (Subscribed!!) ...and I love your enormous ocean pets 🐋 Well, about this video; I never imagined how easy is getting salt from ocean. It takes time but it's very easy. Thanks for sharing what you are learning 🤗💓 Blessings 🌻
Great video. Thank you. I don't have an oven bc I live in a van. Could I just leave the salt on the counter overnight or something for that last phase? Thanks again!
You can even do it much better. Stage 1 - freeze water to increase salinity, it will take much less energy. Stage 2 - remove the ice, the liquid can be evaporated even under the Sun. Use non-metal kitchenware.
Useful if you are in a survival situation in the wilderness and don't have salt to cook with or preserve meat without refrigeration. Currently watching Bear Grylls The Island.
How do you think the minerals (except potassium) are going to be affected?? I try to do/buy see salt to make mineralized water for drinking and store some salt for bath.
How long does the salt stay fresh for since there's no preservatives in it? And do you store it in the fridge or in the cabinet if you're doing this in the summer and it's hot?
It totally depends. We just used a bunch of salt for a brine so went through it in a few days. When we use it just for regular seasoning on our food I would guess 4-6 weeks
I did this yesterday. 12 litres of seawater and i weighed the salt this morning. I got 480g of salt from this! Unreal. Took way too long though 😅I'll make a 4 litre batch next time.

The water he’s got is obviously clean.
The shore is not dotted with dead fish.
I think he’s gonna be ok.

We've started filtering ours too now.
I am looking to do the same. Can you elaborate more on the carbon block?
If it weren’t for all the human debris and pollution I’d just go unfiltered but these days I’d filter too unfortunately.
Maybe try a mew carbon face mask, a painter might use.
The heat wi kill off bacteria anyways but yes it's good to filter with even just a silkscreen cloth easily available at art shops

You can use air evaporation too. No need to use fuel.
What is a organic hobby farm?
The wood grain in your cabinet looks like an alien
Haha. It totally does. We get that comment a lot. Lol

Great to see you both on the dock today. You are both a real inspiration, thanks for sharing your journey! Cheers!
Thanks Steve. Nice to see you and catch up as well!
That is actually very informative and impressive. Not bad bro!
Thanks Chad. Glad you found it useful!!
I love this video so much!!! I’ve never thought to try this, thank you so much for sharing this!!!
Thank you for sharing knowledge to make table sea salt from scratch 😮
That's surprisingly a lot!
Right. So much
Way cool. Never would have guessed you’d get that much salt from 4lts of water
Us either. We were pleasantly surprised!!
seawater usually contains 3% of salt. 4kg would be about 120g. Depending on location.
yes .. sepent 20 bucks in gas to get the water 2.50 in hydro or gas to boil the water ,, yeah I am going on the slat business

Thanks Shubhi :)
that is amazing .. n quite informative..thank you for sharing it ...
Glad you found it useful
I’m surprised of how much energy you need to make that much of salt. Thanks for sharing!
Too much. Without any reason, for that.
That's why traditionally people just dry saltwater 😆
Great idea! I have lived by the ocean by whole life and have never thought of this.
Glad it was helpful!
Great idea & it’s homemade salt, marvellous. Thanks for the video & very detailed information. Good job!
Love it!, I’m gonna try it here on ‘the other coast’, from the beautiful Bay of Fundy. NS

Wow! That is a lot of salt. We will certainly be doing this since we have access to the ocean as well here in Newfoundland
I grew up near the Great Lakes, but now live on the Rock as well- As I type, I am looking out the window over Placentia Bay, and will definitely be trying this :)
So would it lower yield to run the water through a coffee filter type thing to remove any debris and such before boiling?
No, if you filter through a coffee filter all the salt content will still make it through :)
Good to see. I never have such experiences
Thank you
Thank you, i have just discovered i cant consume any of the shop Salt due to possible Gluten contamination, so off to the Beach i go...Thanks a bunch!
I can't believe you got so much salt from that amount of sea water
Amazing!

amazing, about how long does the 4 ounces last? how often are you cooking down the ocean water?
I didn’t know that this is possible! Keep up the great videos!
Thanks so much

4.1 ounces of salt is usually about a few months worth for an entire household, depending on ingestion rating.
C'est vraiment captivant merci pour le partage
I've never boiled sea water without the intention of throwing a crab or two in it. And I never would have guessed you're get that much salt. That's pretty cool.
Oh we use it for that too. lol. Ya, its crazy how much salt is actually in ocean water!
how about we boil the entire ocean
hi new friend here.. like your conntent
Thanks and welcome
Never knew this was posibile, nice videos keep up
Thanks, will do!
My goodness you discovered evaporation. What a genius!
Haha. I'm waiting for my Nobel prize.
Very good to know and add to the survival arsenal.
Being COY (a Cheap Old Yankee!) of course I'm thinking of passive/ solar methods of evaporting salt pans... lol
Thank you so much. Love this. Well explained. Thank you.
Google IsASellOut
Not so well, like you think.
This man waste too much energy, without any reason for that.
0:38, would have never figured this area for ocean water just from looking at it , always thought it had to be a beach head or deep water with large waves
Its amaizing thanks
Awesome, I'd say that's a great amount. Ty for the info
did any1 test the metal content in the salt? coz that stuff could be bad long term?
What an amazing idea. Definitely going to try this.❤
Let us know how it goes

You have everything around you lucky you
J'aime vraiment tout ce que tu fais c'est un super divertissement de regarder tes videos !
Super Cool. That's crazy how much you get!!!
Thanks Matt. We didn't think there would be that much either
Great Stuff bro, keep up videos like this
Thanks, will do!
Wow very interesting!
Glad you think so!
That was cool i was told that the closer to shore you get the water the more Minerals and nutriants are in it
Oh interesting. I hadn't heard that
I really admire what you guys are doing. I enjoy your videos. Keep it up.
Amaizing!!!!
Awesome! I've never seen this process before. Really interesting. Thx!
Thanks Katherine. Glad you enjoyed it :)
Hi - interesting. It really is a lot of salt; I like your idea of living off the land! Are you off-grid too? All those hours of boiling is a bit scary
Thanks, no we are not off grid yet. We do have a wood stove that we use to heat the house. We have also dehydrated salt on that but took about 2 days.
I'm watching all your videos 😊
You create an amazing channel 👏
thank you for sharing
What about using a dehydrator instead of the oven for the last part?
We just fry it
Is it as good as Celtic salt.?
great channel!!!!

My country(Croatia)'s sea is pretty salty, 38-39 PSU, might try this. Thanks!
Is salt water heavery near the bottom and less debri ?
Great video. Thank you. I don't have an oven bc I live in a van. Could I just leave the salt on the counter overnight or something for that last phase? Thanks again!

How about purifying or filtering it? What's the difference between this and celtic salt?
We are in the Gulf Islands. BC, Canada.
Yes, you could run it through a coffee filter first as well
I don’t get out to the ocean too often, so when I was just there I collected 10 gallons (40 liters) I have a load of work ahead of me
This is amazing!
That was awesome!!! I would love to try that!
Thank you 😊 that's soooo cooool
What about em microplastics? Have you tried water filtering seawater?
I filtered mine through a coffee paper filter to get rid of sand and other floaty things...
Great idea
how do you get the sand out of the water? Because, I tried it and it was a great sucess, however, I am still tasting sand.
Useful if you are in a survival situation in the wilderness and don't have salt to cook with or preserve meat without refrigeration. Currently watching Bear Grylls The Island.
How do you think the minerals (except potassium) are going to be affected?? I try to do/buy see salt to make mineralized water for drinking and store some salt for bath.
Can i put it under the sun to dehydrate it instead of oven
I wish I knew 20 year a go!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️
I have to ask, based on the stove time, went from 7 - 10:30. You said about an hour. Does this take some "feeling out" as far as the end step?
that's cool, you could also try making a solar box cooker to reduce your fuel usage. might work with the salt
I am wondering do this work wherever you are or do you somehow have to check the water first before doing this? (Like for it to be safe)
I've watched other videos that say not to use stainless steel for this process. Have you had any trouble?
How long does the salt stay fresh for since there's no preservatives in it? And do you store it in the fridge or in the cabinet if you're doing this in the summer and it's hot?
Salt doesn’t go bad it’s a preservative on its own.
Cool vid
Good job but missing filtering befor boiling❤
Very nice mate ❤
Next time I go to the beach, I might as well do the same thing - get some free salt!
That is way more than I was expecting. How often do you find yourself doing that for your use?
It totally depends. We just used a bunch of salt for a brine so went through it in a few days.
When we use it just for regular seasoning on our food I would guess 4-6 weeks

Can you also do this for Celtic sea salt?
Awesome Make own salt
there is more than salt in that mixture, so now what do you do with it?
You guys really need a squeegee spatula thing ;D you can get every last bit out with those
On our list 🤣
Nice...😍😍😍
