Busting NUTS (Everything you need to know! - Black Walnuts as Wild EDIBLE Survival Food!

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

we show how to process a full day's worth (3, 500 calories) of black walnuts from tree to 'table' including hulling, washing and storage. As an experiment we also count process time (shelling) and nutritional information. How many black nuts do you think it takes to sustain your daily caloric requirements? Find out! Black walnuts. a spectacular wild edible. There's a reason that squirrels and other critters work and fight so hard to procure these fall gifts! By weight, black walnuts are approximately 60% fat, 10% carbohydrate and 25% protein. A 100 grams serving boosts a whopping 600 calories. Put another way, around 3 cups of nut meat is enough to sustain an active person's daily caloric requirements. And now for a little experiment. While these two knuckle heads process down a thousand calories of black walnuts in the field, let's talk more about what it really takes to make a wilderness living from these delectable nuts. As far as nuts go, black walnuts are not big nuts but are readily collected and once processed and dried, easily store for long periods of time. Thus, when they are available, the survivalist, like a busy squirrel preparing for winter, should focus their efforts on collecting as many as possible before it's too late. A quick romp in the forest should produce a generous bushels of nuts on a good year. To find ready nuts, watch for them to turn from a solid green to a slightly yellowish green. After frost, nuts will begin to fall from the tree by themselves and can be harvest then. However, it's best to aggressively work them from the tree with a long rod or by throwing a stick up into the branches - one call also shake the nuts loose by manipulating the base. Nuts mature over four to six weeks in September and October, so it's important to be watchful or else squirrels will beat you to them. Once collected, the real work begins. With rubber gloves, work and massage the soft outer shell from the outside of the nut. The ink produced by the nuts will quickly stain the skin a dark brown and can irritate thinner skin so be careful and use protection. Ink that gets under the fingernails is to be avoid for this very reason. Wear eye protection if you're a little clumsy working the nuts. It's far easier to remove the husk im

Hi ya WB! I think I saw a walnut tree last summer but wasn-t sure, the nuts looked like these, do u know if there-s a look alike that-s not edible or were the I saw the real thing? I bet the shells (outer/inner I-m not sure which) would make a great dye. I-ve heard that putting a cone over what u want to keep squirrels away from works, u would have needed a good size one for that batch of nuts. I just came across this video after watching one of season 3 with Bob Hansler and had to watch, funny and very informative! Thank u WB!

-From my vantage, a critter bounded to my right flank, but only visible in my periphery, down a long hallway. It was only a shadow, but the intruder was headed my way. It was too late to react and, soon, it was at my rear. Six o' clock and cornered. I rightly panicked, jump from my perch, and found safety in the bathroom bunker at the end of the hall. -
I once reacted the same way when a tiny mouse ran at me. Yeah, I might weigh 4, 000 times more than it, but you know. it was gross.

Chris your description about the squirrel in your bathroom was hallarious. Thank you for the good laugh. Just so you know, I like squirrels cooked, boiled, charred on the fire, anyway they're cooked. I also know that their bite is nothing but a painful reminder that their teeth are tough. Due to the way you express yourself ( and even if you don't care ) I'm officially signing with you on you tube. Stay alert and God bless you n your family.

Squirrels like to scare people. I walked up on one deer hunting. I stood at twenty paces staring at the big red. All I could think of was what if this squirrel sees me as a tree and my coverall pockets a hole. I had no time to think anything else, and in a blink it was UP TO MY THIGH as I made the funniest sound flopping like a mad man, trying to get away from it! I hope people get a kick out of that because I don't like to talk about it.

The city came to trim my tree off the power lines and nearly cut the whole tree down. I've never eaten the nuts, but after the tree company cut the tree down and left the walnuts on the ground, I picked them up. They are still green. I'm wondering how long I should wait until removing the husk and getting the nuts out? Edited- I commented before reading and watching the whole video. Thanks for posting this! Very helpful!

Chris, gotta try the Grandpas Goodie Getter. Just came in today, unbelievable the number of full halfs and even full nut meats. Worth every penny, solid steel. Got almost ten bushels of washed and drying nuts. You and Jeremy should be able to get six cups of nut meats with half the waste and in less time.

I dont know about making a meal out of them but, they are ok for sitting around the fire at night. Gives you something to do besides sitting there staring at a fire.
