I notice no ones said anything about this but when you’re boiling ocean water you’re getting more than just sodium chloride, which is what basic table salt is. There’s a whole bunch of different sodium’s and other minerals in here, and if there’s any pollutants or anything in that water you’re getting that in there too. Boiling doesn’t just make that stuff disappear.
@@iridios6127 lol when it comes down to it you’re just boiling water, and whatever’s in that ocean water is gonna more than likely end up in that salt.
@@rockerroller I understand that you are probably fully uneducated in chemistry. But here’s a hint - different salts crystallize differently. It’s just like extracting gasoline, diesel and all sorts of other substances from raw oil. Do not evaporate all brine and all unedible remains in the last 5%.
@@iridios6127 I’m not talked about just salts, unfortunately we as humans don’t really treat the ocean as well as we should, you have micro plastics, Mercury, and hundreds of other chemicals and other substances mixed in ocean water. Yeah different salts are there as well, but that’s just one aspect. Just as a question is there a way to get that crap out before boiling?
I filter my seawater first, through a muslin cloth, sometimes even through a carbon block. It doesn't take too long but its worth getting rid of the little creepy crawlies that you can't see like plankton and other micro debris like plastics or metals. If you prefer unfiltered, it's totally to your discretion.
We live on a sailboat in the Caribbean and never would have thought to do this. I’m going to try this on our outdoor grill to keep the heat and humidity out of the boat. (We literally sold our organic hobby farm to sail…that’s how we found your channel). Thanks!
Going to share with my boyfriend. We just had baked spuds tonight, and he is a salt user. After supper, he wondered how sea salt was gotten, so I came to this very well explained vid! Bless your very spirit! Not nearly as complex as I thought.
What If I live in Florida and deal with things life toxic algea Bloom and chemical runoff from soda companies. Would this process concentrate or remove some of those things?
I've been watching your videos for a few weeks now and the other day I heard them talk about you guys on the French CBC radio here in the LMD! Thought it was pretty cool.
Thanks for your message. It turned in to a bit of a snowball the last few weeks lol. Had articles in London and Russia as well. A little overwhelming. Lol Thanks for following along
I grew up near the Great Lakes, but now live on the Rock as well- As I type, I am looking out the window over Placentia Bay, and will definitely be trying this :)
I've been harvesting sea salt (from the Oregon Pacific Ocean Coast) for years....easy and I do it once a year to last a year. I think it's awesome! great job friends
I'm curious, since I live near the ocean too and would like to start harvesting my own salt aswell....how much water do you need to boil to get a year's worth of salt? About how many ounces of salt do you get?
I've never boiled sea water without the intention of throwing a crab or two in it. And I never would have guessed you're get that much salt. That's pretty cool.
This would be a great project in winter over a wood stove. I already set water on it most of the winter as the atmosphere gets too dry in the home. Might as well harvest salt while at it. 😁
anyone ever try a countertop one gallon water distiller? save humidity in house esp in winter and you get distilled water for batteries or cooking, been drinking distilled for almost fifty years
Thanks for the video, 2 questions, is there any concern about pollution in the sea water or does the boiling kill all that? And could you put it on greaseproof paper in the oven? Cheers.
How do you think the minerals (except potassium) are going to be affected?? I try to do/buy see salt to make mineralized water for drinking and store some salt for bath.
How long does the salt stay fresh for since there's no preservatives in it? And do you store it in the fridge or in the cabinet if you're doing this in the summer and it's hot?
Great video. Thank you. I don't have an oven bc I live in a van. Could I just leave the salt on the counter overnight or something for that last phase? Thanks again!
You can even do it much better. Stage 1 - freeze water to increase salinity, it will take much less energy. Stage 2 - remove the ice, the liquid can be evaporated even under the Sun. Use non-metal kitchenware.
Hello 👋🏻 I came from the video "Exploring Alternatives" Channel made about you guys. You both are doing great! Congratulations and wish you the best!! I love mother nature so, I'm loving your channel already 🏞💗 (Subscribed!!) ...and I love your enormous ocean pets 🐋 Well, about this video; I never imagined how easy is getting salt from ocean. It takes time but it's very easy. Thanks for sharing what you are learning 🤗💓 Blessings 🌻
0:38, would have never figured this area for ocean water just from looking at it , always thought it had to be a beach head or deep water with large waves
It totally depends. We just used a bunch of salt for a brine so went through it in a few days. When we use it just for regular seasoning on our food I would guess 4-6 weeks
Have you tried to pickle anything with your sea salt? I’m curious if you have to alter the amount because sea salt has a different salt quantity than pickling salt.
@@nunyabiznes33 I think it’s just finer crystals. My understanding is that refined salt has higher sodium levels because they take out most of the other minerals. Sea salt still has all the minerals in it. Not just sodium. That’s why it has a different flavor and the flavor changes where you collect it.
If I'm going to use it in a liquid meal, do you reckon I can cut the boiling time and store it in a sterilised bottle to use as a liquid? I live close to the sea and this sounds very tempting, but also not sure I have the time right now. If I can sterilise it and boil it off a bit but then just pour it into a sauce instead of adding water and salt separately, that would work nicely.
Yes. That would definitely work too. I would recommend boiling it down to at least 50% to make sure it has enough time to kill bacteria as well as get enough saltiness
@@LovinofftheLand Sounds good! I was thinking at least down to 2/3, so I'll aim for halfway. I won't be able to try for a few weeks but will report back with my progress and if it lasts okay longer-term. Thanks for the tip!
I did this yesterday. 12 litres of seawater and i weighed the salt this morning. I got 480g of salt from this! Unreal. Took way too long though 😅I'll make a 4 litre batch next time.
Yes, for sure. Definitely uses a lot of power. We have done it on the wood stove as well. Had a bigger pot with probably 3 times as much (12 litres) and took 3 days to boil all the way down but still worked great.

The water he’s got is obviously clean.
The shore is not dotted with dead fish.
I think he’s gonna be ok.

We've started filtering ours too now.
I am looking to do the same. Can you elaborate more on the carbon block?
If it weren’t for all the human debris and pollution I’d just go unfiltered but these days I’d filter too unfortunately.
Maybe try a mew carbon face mask, a painter might use.
The heat wi kill off bacteria anyways but yes it's good to filter with even just a silkscreen cloth easily available at art shops

This sounds fake but I know its not
You can use air evaporation too. No need to use fuel.
What is a organic hobby farm?

The wood grain in your cabinet looks like an alien
Haha. It totally does. We get that comment a lot. Lol
10/10 thank you for walking us through this. I’m going to try it myself!
Great to see you both on the dock today. You are both a real inspiration, thanks for sharing your journey! Cheers!
Thanks Steve. Nice to see you and catch up as well!
I love this video so much!!! I’ve never thought to try this, thank you so much for sharing this!!!
That is actually very informative and impressive. Not bad bro!
Thanks Chad. Glad you found it useful!!
What If I live in Florida and deal with things life toxic algea Bloom and chemical runoff from soda companies. Would this process concentrate or remove some of those things?
Way cool. Never would have guessed you’d get that much salt from 4lts of water
Us either. We were pleasantly surprised!!
seawater usually contains 3% of salt. 4kg would be about 120g. Depending on location.
yes .. sepent 20 bucks in gas to get the water 2.50 in hydro or gas to boil the water ,, yeah I am going on the slat business
So would it lower yield to run the water through a coffee filter type thing to remove any debris and such before boiling?
No, if you filter through a coffee filter all the salt content will still make it through :)
That's surprisingly a lot!
Right. So much
amazing, about how long does the 4 ounces last? how often are you cooking down the ocean water?
I’m surprised of how much energy you need to make that much of salt. Thanks for sharing!
Too much. Without any reason, for that.
That's why traditionally people just dry saltwater 😆
Thank you for sharing knowledge to make table sea salt from scratch 😮
That's an excelled piece of information..i watch you regularly
Thanks Shubhi :)
Love it!, I’m gonna try it here on ‘the other coast’, from the beautiful Bay of Fundy. NS
Great idea! I have lived by the ocean by whole life and have never thought of this.
Glad it was helpful!

that is amazing .. n quite informative..thank you for sharing it ...
Glad you found it useful
Wow! That is a lot of salt. We will certainly be doing this since we have access to the ocean as well here in Newfoundland
I grew up near the Great Lakes, but now live on the Rock as well- As I type, I am looking out the window over Placentia Bay, and will definitely be trying this :)
did any1 test the metal content in the salt? coz that stuff could be bad long term?

4.1 ounces of salt is usually about a few months worth for an entire household, depending on ingestion rating.

Oh we use it for that too. lol. Ya, its crazy how much salt is actually in ocean water!
how about we boil the entire ocean
I didn’t know that this is possible! Keep up the great videos!
Thanks so much
I can't believe you got so much salt from that amount of sea water
Amazing!
Thank you, i have just discovered i cant consume any of the shop Salt due to possible Gluten contamination, so off to the Beach i go...Thanks a bunch!
Good to see. I never have such experiences
Thank you

How do you think the minerals (except potassium) are going to be affected?? I try to do/buy see salt to make mineralized water for drinking and store some salt for bath.
My goodness you discovered evaporation. What a genius!
Haha. I'm waiting for my Nobel prize.
Is salt water heavery near the bottom and less debri ?
How long does the salt stay fresh for since there's no preservatives in it? And do you store it in the fridge or in the cabinet if you're doing this in the summer and it's hot?
Salt doesn’t go bad it’s a preservative on its own.
Being COY (a Cheap Old Yankee!) of course I'm thinking of passive/ solar methods of evaporting salt pans... lol
I have to ask, based on the stove time, went from 7 - 10:30. You said about an hour. Does this take some "feeling out" as far as the end step?
I am wondering do this work wherever you are or do you somehow have to check the water first before doing this? (Like for it to be safe)
Thank you for the informative video.
Is it as good as Celtic salt.?
I've watched other videos that say not to use stainless steel for this process. Have you had any trouble?
What about using a dehydrator instead of the oven for the last part?
We just fry it
What about em microplastics? Have you tried water filtering seawater?
How about purifying or filtering it? What's the difference between this and celtic salt?
We are in the Gulf Islands. BC, Canada.
Yes, you could run it through a coffee filter first as well
how do you get the sand out of the water? Because, I tried it and it was a great sucess, however, I am still tasting sand.
Hi - interesting. It really is a lot of salt; I like your idea of living off the land! Are you off-grid too? All those hours of boiling is a bit scary
Thanks, no we are not off grid yet. We do have a wood stove that we use to heat the house. We have also dehydrated salt on that but took about 2 days.
Great video. Thank you. I don't have an oven bc I live in a van. Could I just leave the salt on the counter overnight or something for that last phase? Thanks again!

Let us know how it goes
0:38, would have never figured this area for ocean water just from looking at it , always thought it had to be a beach head or deep water with large waves
Awesome, I'd say that's a great amount. Ty for the info
That was cool i was told that the closer to shore you get the water the more Minerals and nutriants are in it
Oh interesting. I hadn't heard that
that's cool, you could also try making a solar box cooker to reduce your fuel usage. might work with the salt
Its amaizing thanks
I'm watching all your videos 😊
You create an amazing channel 👏
Super Cool. That's crazy how much you get!!!
Thanks Matt. We didn't think there would be that much either
Can i put it under the sun to dehydrate it instead of oven
That is way more than I was expecting. How often do you find yourself doing that for your use?
It totally depends. We just used a bunch of salt for a brine so went through it in a few days.
When we use it just for regular seasoning on our food I would guess 4-6 weeks
My country(Croatia)'s sea is pretty salty, 38-39 PSU, might try this. Thanks!
there is more than salt in that mixture, so now what do you do with it?
C'est vraiment captivant merci pour le partage
I filtered mine through a coffee paper filter to get rid of sand and other floaty things...
Great idea
Great Stuff bro, keep up videos like this
Thanks, will do!
I don’t get out to the ocean too often, so when I was just there I collected 10 gallons (40 liters) I have a load of work ahead of me
Can you do it without oven? Since some people doesn't have one (like me. Ouch)
Yes, we did that to speed it up for the video. We often do it on the wood stove during the winter. You could do it over a fire as well.
thank you for sharing
I am a tad perplexed, a gallon of salt water should have 2.2 pounds of salt?
Have you tried to pickle anything with your sea salt? I’m curious if you have to alter the amount because sea salt has a different salt quantity than pickling salt.
When I make sauerkraut I use sea salt so I know you could at least make that with it.
