My grandmother used to grow gourds and then make cute little birdhouses and batboxes with them. I always use to make small cup like things out the smaller ones as a kid. They're really great for storing all kinds of stuff.
That's cool. She made bird houses and you put hot sauce on birds..... But who doesn't love a good buffalo chicken? Right?. Gourds R KOOL ....... How's the bat with the hot sauce? Bet it's the bomb diggity
Small pebbles with coarse sand will make cleaning the inside easier. This video gives me an a idea to combine your idea with my previous gourd exterior Ancient Greek etching artwork.
Just a minor tip, instead of using only a small handful of pebbles get quite a bunch of them in there and then do the rotation. It will work much better and faster. It's like a rock tumbler almost.
Is awesome that when some one make a great coment like this just to Help a litle bit you will not got any coment from the creator meanwhile other coments get the creator attention tho🤦🏼♂... Im just saying that it seems the guy dont like any help at all or maybe he could make a coment about your idea but nop, its kind of weird and im not saying that the creator coment is necesary but its reflect a lot thoo😅
I have been growing them for 10 years. Cut off the top and insert a wine cork. inside fig. great musical instrument. and a good gift. thanks for the video and yours there. Ukraine Kharkov.
@@beanthefish Hi, I know your question is seven months old, but the answer is … only rarely did the native Americans eat gourds and only if they were very immature, so no, you don’t want to do this. They taste nasty.
Love it! I wouldn't have thought about the small rocks. They work really well! I have a box of dried gourds I grew and have been wanting to make some things with them. Thank you for the video!
I like to wax the inside of any of them I'm using for liquid, but like you said, dry is the more utilitarian way. I like one beeswaxed and the rest dry. I also like to melt wax and rub it into the outside surface and polish it with a cloth, it seems to hold up much better over time. And all that chaff from inside the gourd makes incredible kindling.
Dude. You just made a whole kitchens worth of utensils! I made an awesome spear using a stick and some yucca leaves. I even managed to spear a little trout with it. Thats was a gooood day 😁
I can't be the only one who thinks Donny Looks a bit Like Rick Grimes. I could see you thriving in TWD Universe with no trouble! Awesome video man, keep up the good work!!
Hi Donnie as a retired chef. I can envision what different cultures do. I can’t always see how to do it. You’re a great instructor ! Thanks for the video !
I love the fact that at first you are teaching people on how to make a gourd bottle and the rest of the video is you pretty much playing with your gourd toys
fantastic and fascinating as always, love the gourd-drum part xD Greetings from germany, keep going, you sir are the most inspiring person on the internet (for me, at least)!
Boy I'm not saying that I'm not grateful for my parent's efforts to raise me, but I do wish you were in my life, and I learn so much from you sir that I find myself ashamed to not know as you do. Much respect brother love your vids content and keep it up young man....
@@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks Finally, you get the regonigtion you deserve man 💪 Much respect to you as well. Ps. get your family and friends out of this society because the planned economic collapse is happening right now, after that they will introduce martial law and most people won't be able to escape this worldwide slaughter.
👍👌👏 Simply fantastic! I absolutely love the shape of gourds. Unfortunately gourds don't grow/exist in Germany. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health.
Very cool. Ive seen these before for sale. In Carlos Castanedas book, A Separate Reality he talks about his mentor Don Juan Matus, a Yaqi Meso-american using gourds for water, and preserving his mushrooms. Dried of course, but yeah. Cool stuff.
This also makes a good dance rattle... Storage containers, powder store temporary. Food container. Water container. Tools container. Food 🥣 bowl 🍜. Cooking vessel Music instruments. Spoon/Ladle/Dipper. Powder flask... Gourd seeds for next year's harvest. Make a clay cover for it and have a more permanent cooking pot. Cover with animal skin for a carrying container with a strap or form for rawhide to create something else.
Hey Donny! I love your content so much. I’ve always loved outdoors and I’m 22 and want to connect with nature once more like I would as a kid but I want to take it to the next level. If I wanted to live in the wild for a month far off the grid. What kind of place would you recommend to go??? I’ve learned so much from you I’m excited to do these things but I hope to speed up the process of finding a location by seeing the kind of spot you recommend!
Thanks. I make dippers from long necked straight gourds. A small hole in the body and cut the top off. Push into the water and it fills quickly. Then drink from side or top. It’s not good for storing water in it though.
Just found your channel. Amazing works! Now I wanna make my own waterskin. ❤ Edit: Would a wax layer extend the product’s lifespan or is it unnecessary?
Gourds are related to squashes. If you can grow squash, you can grow gourds. Some gourds are even edible. If you have a short growing season, start your gourd seeds indoors & transplant the seedlings as soon as the ground & nighttime temps are warm enough. Gourds are virtually plant it & forget it.
Oh my gourd

Great idea. I will give that a go soon. Appreciate you watching.
Great information as usual Donnie…never miss a video!!! Love your work and the simplistic explanations!!!
Thanks so very much. Appreciate you watching and following the adventures.
@@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks can the flaky gourd guts, be rehydrated and eaten? Like in a soup or something, or is it inedible?
@@beanthefishsome gourds are toxic

Excellent tutorial and utilitarian tools made from those. Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Appreciate you watching. Thanks so very much.
Thanks for video donny
My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
Thanks Donnie
I don't know if anyone has told you yet or not, but that dinnerware is Gourdeous.
This is such a gourd idea
I know this is off topic but people also make banjos out of gourds. Great video Donny

Gourdgeous
Glad to see the pebbles. Reminded me of cleaning out a gas tank.🤙
Bingo. Thanks for watching.
Holy hell, this is so resourceful. Nothing goes to waste, except maybe the gourd meat. Though you could probably use them for fertilizer
Just relaxing watching ur video..
Great vid. How do you dry these guys out to begin with?
I love dried gourds. It does so much more
Growing gourds of various sizes for the first time this summer, bottle and dipper. If it goes well I'm definitely Growing basket gourd
This man is a genius 😮😮
Wow, great vid. Thank for all the vids

Thanks again Donny. I have a whole bunch growing in my garden right now, can’t wait to start getting into them. Maybe make some bird houses as well.
I've got a batch I grew last summer and dried over the winter. I'm looking forward to making stuff out of them.
Dude. You just made a whole kitchens worth of utensils!

How did you dry it out like that
I love th I love the YYZ play.
Hmm, these would make some sweet poweder containers for muzzle loaders

Does the gourd meat have any uses or it's just waste byproduct? Tinder?
Dried is just waste, however the seeds work for bait.
I had the same thought about mayb being tinder. Great question. I'm glad I read all the comments b4 asking myself.
If it takes a spark…it would work for tinder.
Very Informative Video! Thank you! How long will water stay drinkable if stored in a gourd?
Do these only grow in warmer climates? I'm in Montana, never heard of these things, very cool

I bet that dried gourd meat would be wonderful fire starting material too
Sweet, is it your style to use something like a shave horse or another clampi g method for more inolved work?
Would those bigger pieces of dried meat work as a decent firestarter? Seems nice and light/fluffy
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
