What I like is this isn't a video on the first time trying it. You've actually done this before. Nice work. Can you boil water on a fire in these pots? You said you cooked on some, like a skillet I'm guessing, the question is do you know what makes these ok to cook on a fire with? Apparently you can't do that with all clay. I'm trying to learn the difference. Thanks.
@rivervalleysurvivalandbush81267 жыл бұрын
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. You can rock boil, or open fire boil in clay containers. It would help to glaze them so they do not grow mold or bacteria in the fine pores, but I don't worry much with it. I haven't heard, or read anything about your last question, I would think you could cook on all clay as long as it was fired through right. I have also read about a cooking method that involves wrapping your plants and meat in wet clay and putting it in the fire as an oven. Pretty cool stuff. I hope this helps you some, thanks again!! -Red Shadow

+River Valley Survival and Bushcraft, thanks for the reply. Is there a bushcraft glaze that you know of? I haven't seen any videos on that yet. Or is glaze something you just have to buy from a store or online?
@rivervalleysurvivalandbush81267 жыл бұрын
I have used animal fat, bees wax and pine sap before, separate, works pretty good. A pottery teacher told me you can also use very fine clay for a glaze, I haven't tried this method but you my be able to find something online about that. I think if you used this method you would make a slurry, slip and paint it on. I think you would need to fire it at a very high temp. though? If you try this I would really like to hear about it. Thanks and good luck!!

the ash and water(lye////alcoline or base---HIGH PH) solution is called"buck" hence the name buck skin....if you want to lock the hair in ,you'll need to use a mild acid like vinegar or diluted battery acid(LOW PH)....be carefull with strong acids ,,strong vinegar works just fine....i use the ol' indian methode of "wet salt salt soak" with vinegar .then i flesh,then another soak ,JUST IN VINEGAR WATER,then i stretch and dry,then i tan.....after i've got all the salt out....brain tanning, in my opinion is not safe.i use a mineral oil mix of my own--------secret-------have fun and good luck.....jda

Great series! I love the amount of information you give. I have a few questions though. Is there a purpose to the smoking other than color? And when you stretch the hide is that similar to how some people stretch it on a frame? Appreciate the time you put in to make this.
@rivervalleysurvivalandbush81268 жыл бұрын
Glad you enjoyed it! Smoking helps protect from water and moisture damage, the oils and resins from the smoke will penetrate through the hide. A none smoked hide that gets wet will stiffen up some when dried. The hand stretching is the same as on a rack or frame, by hand is easier for me. Thanks for watching!! -Red Shadow

Good job. We have native clay here as well. I have a bowl that I made from the native clay that turned out quite well. I fired it buried in sawdust under a campfire. It did end up with a couple hairline cracks from me removing the hot bowl too early from the ashes of the firing fire. But it still holds liquid fine without leaking. I processed my clay about the same as you did here.

cool video! I have been experimenting pit firing. I like how you take such a long time to heat your pots no thermal shock that way. I find when my clay is good quality really sticky plastic they crack easy. I am wondering if you mixed some of the red sandy clay with the light clay what the results would be. your cracked pot I like to powder them for grog or temper. I like that powder better than sand. oh yea some times I use damp leaves around the pots with fire on top instead of sawdust. Aloha

+Ralph Mastriani Thanks for watching!! I have mixed clay before and it will work a little better, I have also coated some wet pottery with wood ash for a kind of flux, I just take my time with it and hope it turns out. The fine red clay in my area wants to crack when air dried so I don't use it so much. I will try the damp leaves soon, sounds interesting. Thanks again my friend!!

Just a guess but looks like a Cranes Bill or Carolina Geranium (Geranium carolinianum). Not sure because the Cranes Bill is a Florida native so most likely not. It could be a Musky Stork’s Bill (Erodium moschatum). Or it could be the Stork's Bill (Erodium cicutarium). They are edible as far as I know but your mileage may vary as to palatability or allergic reaction for any of these. There are several varieties of each kind. There are different varieties of both Geranium and Erodium. See links below. Research it and don't make a mistake. ;-) Thanks for sharing. rcrec-ona.ifas.ufl.edu/weed-science/weed-id/carolina.geranium.shtml plants.usda.gov/core/profile?symbol=GECA5 www.eattheweeds.com/erodium-circutarium-geranium-carolinianum-two-bills-you-want-to-get-2/ P.S. I don't mess with them. Geraniums have a foul odor and not something I would care to sample regardless. But the next person may not feel that way. Also the Poison Hemlock similarity makes me stay away from it. Kind of like Wild Carrot. Same thing.
