The acorn (Quercus) is the best wild edible survival food in this region during the fall months but it must be properly prepared for consumption. These bitter nuts are readily available on many species of oak trees which are common throughout this region. It’s a food that can simply be collected from the ground or trees. After grinding it into a flour and leaching it of the bitter tannins it becomes a tasty and nutritious food that native tribes relied on for centuries.
In this video I take you on the full journey of collecting, processing and cooking acorns in the totally primitive way and the result was delicious. Acorns have been a part of my diet for years and every year I anxiously await for the harvest season to begin. Tell me about your experience with acorns in the comments section below.

到底是在有仙人掌植物的沙漠還是在落葉針木林的非沙漠生存啊！
ชอบธรรมชาติแบบคุณมากกกค่ะ❤❤❤😊😊
Have you ever gotten sick with parasites from drinking directly from a stream?
These videos are inspiring. I love the idea of living off the land or even just more in nature off of a motorcycle and or van conversion. I want to try and make some of the things as well as foods you harvest in your videos. I also love the desert and really enjoy seeing how resourceful you are in various environments.
One word of caution, drink no more than 10 coffees per sitting or you might experience diarreah.
Couldnt you like, mash up the berries so instead of berry bits in the mush it would flavor the mush? Idk it sounded good when i thought of it
hmmm .. wonder how close this tastes to quinoa and berry mush.
Amen!
i love these videos so relaxing

What do you do for salt? In the forest we look for salt streams, boil it down. How do you collect salt.
Acorns are medicine for itching
Mites and bites.
The English brought them over to Australia to treat mites and skin complants,
Can be also drunk as a tea to treat worms bacterial and viral infections.
Used in measles mumps.
And any affictions that Tannins is used for.
Every part of the Acorn tree can be
Used for what ever medicine is required from the roots to the bark to the leaves to the Acorn.
It is a safe product was well used in olden times.
The leaves boiled makes a great tea.
Nothing of this plant is toxic.❤
Real black licorice will do the same thing if you eat more than needed.
eh, can't prove that.
Put dried acorn powder in a bowl and boil it with an appropriate amount of water to create a thick acorn porridge. When cooled, it becomes elastic and delicious acorn jelly.
The asmar at this stream ❤
Oklahoma has the biggest acorns i have ever seen. Maybe a tropical place would have bigger one's?
❤ i do as much wild harvest as i can. This is great to show how to live off the land. Much love ❤
I wonder if the shells from the acorns would make a great necklace, and even a bracelet?
I'm from philippines🇵🇭 but I like your video bro ❤ nice and cool 😎

Nice work but you can an idea for fruit with acorn or tacos with acorn or something pls upload new video !
In Asia, a burden basket is still a common implement. They do not use the head band, rather they make shoulder straps like a backpack and they are made from bamboo.

You could have put some straw, or grass on those branches, to have better insulation.
God bless you
How would you make a kind of bread with acorn flower? What would you add to it?
When I was in the scouts the neighbor boy and I made acorn snacks like chopped nuts. We chopped them down then cooked them in water a couple of times, broke them down a little more and cooked them again.

So labor intensive for so little. I remember when I was in India at a ashram there was a poster that had the growing to consumption process in days. It takes approximatley 100 days from sprout to to table and so much water and labor. That is why no one would throw out any food in the ashram we only took what we needed
My tribe made something similar called Nupa which is essentially acorn mush, it’s pretty good.
A thing I've consistently noticed in season 2 is you've improved your sound design a lot. Your videos are as fun as always, but I don't get jumpscared every so often which I thank you for. Have fun on your adventures and know that you've inspired at least one person to learn and improve on those skills!
Chad, i love your videos. Thank you and, youre super hott…❤❤❤
Goes to show huch much work is envolved in just feeding yourself and you have to go for whats available, where it's available.
mentioning a god as male shows the abject stupidity of this concept.
He got my body and hair preference and eyes. 😮🫢💣 He looks like my fiance exactly but a little older and a different face.
Great video! I was wondering, are there any primitive ways to get table salt away from salty bodies of water?
Mosquito @ 19:27: "MAI MOM I'M ON YT!" 😀
