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.

I think it's really good to show yourself taking a trip into a mountain forest to collect the kinds of foods that aren't found in the area around your hut. Summer and autumn were traditionally the time for indigenous peoples to travel to the locations of various different wild resources. Not just for a day, but often a handful of weeks would be spent within a particular region. I experienced my own foraging trip as a child in the company of my grandfather, grandmother, her sister, and my mother; we travelled to the far northeastern corner of our state to gather huckleberries and beargrass in an area my grandfather had known about as a child. The huckleberries were for our own family to eat, but the bear grass was a special request by some of the weavers of the Makah nation. This was a resource that used to be sought high up in the subalpine meadows of the Cascades by berry picking parties, and traded throughout the Coastal Salish tribes. Those berry pickers would spread out across the region (there are a LOT of edible wild berries in Washington State, particularly west of the mountains), and gather up not only the berries, but bark and roots for dyes, roots and nuts for eating, pinecones for their seeds, various grasses and other fibrous materials for basket-making, and more. It was very common for these trips to be multi-purpose, and when the harvesters returned to their villages, they would often trade a good portion of whatever they got with others who had gone to different areas and had different things to trade. So when the elders heard my grandfather was going to an area where they could get the berries and the beargrass, they asked if he would be willing to pick up the bear grass, and would be willing to trade certain items to him for it in exchange. (This included some rather beautifully woven little baskets made from that very same beargrass, which my family still has to this day.)

You're absolutely right. They would travel and stay for weeks to harvest acorns and other foods, or to hunting grounds as well. September and October are great harvest months in these mountains because there is such an amazing abundance and I couldn't show it all in this video. I collected a lot more than what I showed. I may be going back one more time before winter sets in. In the summer months there is a lot of native trout too. I love your account of a foraging trip. I would be totally into doing that. Sounds like such an amazing experience. I've read about tribes traveling hundreds of miles on foot just to trade. That's so incredible.

There is also so much more that I do that I haven't filmed. Almost every day I'm processing wild foods, especially now that it's harvest season. How about making thousands of feet of cordage? That's just ridiculous!

I believe they all can be eaten but some varieties will require a lot more leeching than others due to higher and lower tannin content. Also avoid any that have black marks on them, they've already gone bad.

It is true, most people have no idea just where their food comes from, or how it is produced. If thrown into a survival situation they would most likely starve, with food all around them. An excellent "story" example of this is John Steinbeck's book "The Grapes of Rath", The folks in the story were FARMERS and still could not find the food all around them, in their camps, nor how to obtain it. These skills and knowledge, which Chad shows us, are important to know, even if we never need to use them. Privative skills and knowledge in a modern society, are you as nuts as the acorns? No, but not knowing is. Great job Chad. ;-)

Do you not worry about rock powder getting mixed in when you pound stuff? I was thinking about that in the prickly pear processing video too

Yes, I was concerned about tiny pieces of granite rock and dust getting into the flour but as long as there is enough flour in the mortar hole and I'm not hitting rock on rock but rather the pestle is pounding just the flour then the rock of the mortar will not wear. I was very careful about this.... When I processed the prickly pear fruit I was less concerned because those stones are a different material and very smooth.

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.

if you got any walnut trees around there you can tap em for sap, boil that down and you can have acorn pancakes with black walnut syrup. Also towards the end of walnut season, thousands upon thousands of tennis balls on the ground

Walnut syrup? I never heard of that. When is the best time to tap walnut trees for syrup?
@ranndomundead9112
@ranndomundead9112 10 ай бұрын
@@ChadZuberAdventures Late winter/Early spring depending on the weather. You want open leaves with warmer days and below freezing nights to not hurt the tree. This weather pattern is considered "maple season" but it applies to most/all types. Walnut trees tend to be similar to maple. Decently high sugar content. If you over boil the sap without burning it itll cool into hard candy aswell.

@@ranndomundead9112 Thanks for sharing this with me. I've wanted to make syrup for a long time. I know a place further down the mountain in this video where a big walnut tree grows. I haven't visited it for a few years but maybe I will do it in the early spring. I'll research more about this online. It would be a great video idea and I just love maple syrup so maybe walnut syrup will be siimilar.

@@ChadZuberAdventures Its easy to do, atleast modernly. The generic transfer rate is 10 gallons of sap boils down to 1 quart of syrup. The sugar content of the sap directly translates to its shelf life aswell. Syrups were definitely quite common in native cultures, especially after pottery, for some reason though its almost never represented like that today. Little teaser, Syrups can be used as anesthetic and for curing meats aswell. Best of luck to ya, i look forward to seeing you tackle a new challenge

Cómo siempre me gusta ver tus vídeos, en el minuto 03:31 me puse a pensar, ya ves que el otro día subiste una foto de unas pesas, deberías usar esas "ruedas" para hacer un carrito estilo carrito de mandado de super mercado jaja así ya no utilizas tu cuello para cargar esa canasta. Sería genial si lo intentaras y lo pusieras a prueba en un vídeo corto. Obviamente solo usarlo en recorridos cercanos, no se te ocurra andar escalando enormes rocas con el carrito. También pensé en la idea de traducir tus vídeos al español, algo así como un narrador. Cuentame tu que opinas. Saludos.

Great Chad here we see how to make oakpowder to eat. I will plant some tree like that too in future for animals and humans. We have enough work. The kameruni sheeps was made from 1 of my sons. The golden dragon from Ireland brought us pregnant kameruni sheeps to Magyarország HU Europa 2 farms with chickens too and all that magical animals found enough to eat and health care.

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

Great question. In the next video you’ll see me drying some acorn flour. I just dry it in the sun. I place the wet acorn flour on a plate or rock in the sun on a warm dry day and it fully dries in one day. Then it can be stored for a long time. I have acorn flour stored since early this year.
