Hi, I made my stain and did a 1.5 gallon to 1 gallon ratio of alcohol. It came out to a beautiful light honey color but isn’t very dark. Did I mess up the ratios? It’s more soupy than syrupy if that makes sense. Also, being 7 years old, I don’t blame you if you don’t see this

@@dwightschrutesbeats HI! That's cool you tried. By the sounds of it, I'm guessing a few possibilities were the issue... Likely there was too much water in the stain. This could have been either too much was added initially to the husk mixture and or it didn't sit long enough for it to evaporate down. When I filmed this video the husk mixture sat for many weeks in a sunny location. By the time I strained it, it was very thick. Also, it's possible you added too much alcohol. Depending on the strength you don't need to add more than 50/50 ratio. But don't worry, a light honey color is still a pretty stain. Alternatively, you could let your mix evaporate back down to the darkness you like. Keep up the great work and thank you for trying out this method!

I was once told that black walnut stain was insect repellent. Is this true? I have nuts, buckets and water, but all the recipes I've looked at before this seemed really weak--not something you'd want to use on exterior surfaces and certainly not enough to repel bugs (also I thought the boiling might destroy those repellant properties if they in fact exist). I think I'll go with this one.

I had a ziplock bag of some curly dock seeds (rumex crispus) that I was going to plant in my backyard to have some edible leafy greens but after learning that the seeds are also edible and can be turned into a flour I decided to try it out instead of planting them. I grinded up the seeds into a powder with the husk on like in the video and then I added water and oil and for the life of me I couldn't get it to form into a dough. I then proceeded to cook the paste which just basically toasted the pulverized seeds and I tried some and it just hardly tasted like anything except the oil I put into it. I was pretty disappointed... Maybe I did something wrong? To me, the seeds seem like survival food at best and aren't very good to be honest
@TheNorthwestForager 3 ай бұрын
@@vintagesteel yes, totally a survival food. It won't form a dough because it doesn't have any gluten and lots of cellulose, like you said it's more of a paste. Stand alone not the best flour but it can be very useful if you were rationing wheat flour and needed something to thin it out with.
@vintagesteel 3 ай бұрын

Also a quick tip on extracting the starch from cattail. When raw you can put a decent ammount of good sized rhyzome into a container and pound them into a paste after adding a little water. After squeezing out what's left from the ryzhome you pour it out to dry on a piece of plastic or even a big leaf or leaf woven plate, etc. Once dry, it will be gray and relatively cardboard like. This can absolutely be used as a soup thickener. When roasted on a fire, the flavor is much better. Taste normally can't be helped unfortunately without spices. Certain times of year the still green flower shoots can be stirfried or straight up roasted or used as a pot herb. Good to note you can also use the leaves to make fishing line for small to medium size fish

@TheNorthwestForager very much so! Also supposedly the pollen can be used as a relatively protein rich flour additive. Some say flour substitute but it is a very very very hydrophobic substance and should be mixed with less hydrophobic ingredients. Though a word of warning! Any with allergies should avoid it at all costs because I didn't know I had any pollen allergies until I tried this...just saying. And we may be in the same neck of the woods.

@@guitarnotator If you spread the seed evenly on a cookie sheet and leave it out in the sun for a few hours the critters will usually relocate on their own.

bet theyre perfect for pickling them like kapers too! oh and another topic somewhat haha: with dandelions battering them in cornstarch batter with a spoon full spelt flour and just enough water to get it somewhat liquid worked very well. naturally tastes like cornmais because of its high pollen content. the protein in the pollen splits under heat like it does in meatprotein and releases its cornflavour. very tasty very unexpected good alternative to a salad of those and looks just nice. wouldnt surprise me if battering and frying worked here too :DD i really please you to try this since i did im looking forwards for dandelions and false dandelions being in season like any other herb or vegetable since its quite filling :) btw since the batter is flavourless you can eat thefirst half salted or powdered in some spicemix and the rest with powdered sugar, maple sirup or whatever i always like stuff like that :D oh and i bet a tempura batter would look even better especially if you could see the yellow through the dough :D

Yup. This happens whenever you eat a starch to which your body is not accustomed. Eat it a few times (perhaps when you have no social plans), and the gas will diminish over time. This is true of burdock, sunchokes, beans and most other starches.
