Been eating hickory nuts 65 plus years vould write several books on how to use the many varieties of the species and the wood and bark and leaves and the animal community that thrive in the area
Thank you! I found hickory nut shells all over my property that I just bought so that's why I looked up this video. I wonder if there are some nutcracking tools that would make it easier for my son to be interested in helping cracking the nuts
Chris here. Very cool meeting you. Very cool video in love how you explain the variety of different trees that are all kickery. It could become confusing without that detail. Really great video and simple to understand. I had a thought that maybe Gathering the nuts and bringing them home to a bench vise might be a more controlled way of cracking them between the jaws of the vice and maybe even put a pipe on the handle of device for extra leverage in control of the squeeze
Have you ever heard of a "Pig- nut" Its a cross between a pecan and hickory tree that cross bred. They look like a pecan but are super hard shell, and dang sure bitter! I've only seen 2 trees like this in my life that crossed in the wild here in Oklahoma.
Hey, Cody. I've "rock bash" harvested these ever since I was a kid. Something that just dawned on me. Do you think roasting them over campfire would make them easier to remove or would it just make it more difficult?
We really liked your video ! Thank you very much we never heard of wild hickory nuts . Happy New Year Jesus blessed 🙏🏾✝️ Thank you sir !

I've been finding these huskss all over my yard now it's about time I gotta go hunt for this Hickory tree
This video is just nuts! Thanks for your survival videos! Love them!
Nut dropping season is my favorite. Thats when I acquired my deep voice.

The vice idea is good and I imagine that would work very well.
I’m fascinated with your videos and survival skills. Truly inspires me to explore my world more.
Great video bro.✌😎 I love cooking with hickory. We have a few around here but most oak. You can find them if you're looking for them.😁👍
Awesome information!!
Once you get out the nutmeats, must very carefully sort from tiny shell bits which are very hard and often sharp!
keep up the videos, the subs are coming

I have not tried that yet.
Yummy!
These things are nearly impossible to crack, even with a hammer.
Use a larger Hammer ⚒️ or a press or jack 😊😮
Oh man they are sweet . Hazle we have here to mmmmm
👍👍👍
do the shells crack differently if you strike the pointed end lengthwise?
Sometimes they'll break lengthwise but I dont find it any easier to get the meat out.
@@CavemanCody thanks! it's like you could burn the same amount of calories as you consume with some nuts - like black walnuts.
@@holoholohaolenokaoi2299 basically yea. It's a a lot of work for not a whole lot of reward.
caveman cody
Yep. Hickory nuts are way better too. IMO.
Hey, how's it going buddy!!??
Another day another project
@@CavemanCody Keep it going!! Doing a great job!!
They are tasty
Thick walled hickory nuts will not crack.need to show pictures of the cracked nuts so you will know easy cracking ones from difficult cracking ones
@@kresscraven7966 Yeah I know all about that. That doesn't change my opinion of these nuts being tasty.
