Drinking too much Kava (Sakau) on Pohnpei in Micronesia

Little excursion into the jungle to get hammered on Sakau, the local form of Kava, but on Pohnpei it has it's own unique properties, and flavor.

I was there with my folks in 2009 when the Village Lodge was still there (a thatch hut Lodge and cabins owned by a Californian coouple - their 50 yr lease expired & they weren't able to renew it so they are gone now). We tried the sakau from a coconut shell that they passed around - but not that much! And watched them make it first. We never did try the beetle nut. It's definitely a unique place

[@xsratv]

I stayed there once before. Great place.

4:41-Haha he’s about to feel it now lol. That’s how I felt the first time I chew it. I got super high off it lol

[@MrNankowi]

[@w18ontiktok48]

Hey my family was born there

[@palikrilometo440]

[@alohamaui1037]

In other parts of Micronesia we use trees barks then we mush it up (but sometimes we use a blender) to mix it up and then we put it in a thin bag so that the sakau could come out of that thin bag onto a bucket then there you go. You officially have MY family’s sakau😂😂

[@arnulfschnitzler4695]

Cool, Thank you very much!

You're in heaven mate

[@kpd174]

[@yougotnojams7025]

Sakau is kinda like weed. It doesn't make you high but It completely relaxes you.

[@sghflnjdgftrebv4005]

Yougotnojams yea but it’s nit bad for you it took the right measures and the right way

[@kingdomcitizen4366]

Ahah the guy chewing the betelnut is way funnier 😂 made my day

[@anablackmoon5114]

Oh, I was wondering why all the spitting

[@derrickharmon7980]

[@kingdomcitizen4366]

Ana Blackmoon because you can’t swallow the juice you gotta spit it out

[@fsm_vlone]

Welcome to my culture 👏👏👏

[@charleyjr.iriarte7428]

You can tell that someone is drunk when he is driving really slow. High when he breaks like seventy or more meters away from an approaching ´light.´ Chewing betel nut when he opens the doors of the car while driving. Yep! That is Pohnpei now! LOL

[@rodjohnon4950]

Love that song

[@JMKDragon]

Lol at 1:13 that’s my uncle dude 🤣. That’s my Nan Pil family 🤣

[@kira2hot4you37]

Fyi betel nut was an introduction to the Eastern Micronesia Western Micronesia. Sakau was more prevalent in Eastern Micronesia.

I highly recommend the palarasul kava blend. It makes you drowsy and "out of it" and happy and it lasts for a long time. It's my favourite blend so far.

[@SeaGypsieschannel]

Where does one get that?

[@drinkroot]

@@SeaGypsieschannel We usually hold Palarasul in traditional grind and just started making it in a deydrated instant juice version. Keep in mind it's not often sold in the US since it's got to be trucked down from the mountains and it's popular on the island. If you're a fan of that, you should definitely try out Kelai too.

[@jfvincent4993]

You have guys chewing betel nut in there, the ones who are spitting red.

[@charsoniriarte8137]

Took me a while to figure out the location but I think that’s Nanipil.

[@rosetinadavid1593]

Sakau is good 👍👍

[@jboykaunknown4958]

Sakau make your tongue numb and plus they eat this plant called Boo?

[@fsm_vlone]

They drink the juice from the plant.

[@GinaPerez1978]

No feeling in the legs! That sounds scary. How long does it last? Can you walk?

[@SeaGypsieschannel]

Lil while! But you can stumble!

[@stuckinperth]
