love the black walnut tree, except when it is time to clean up after it. My town is actually our local indian name for Black Walnut. Local tribes used it as well as a protection for biting bugs like mosquito, rub the husks on their skins and it would create a protective coating that would, not only "paint" the skin but also helped protect from biting bugs.
Thank you for sharing that Bentley! That is a very interesting and neat piece of history to know. There are so many great lessons we can learn from things that were done in the past. I don't have Black Walnut in my yard but fortunately I have access to it on our land which is only a few miles up the road. Thank you for your interest and taking the time to watch my friend. Take care.
Thank you my friend! I appreciate your interest and kind words. I am trying to have original content as much as possible but there is so much out there sometimes it is difficult. I guess even if it is a topic that has been covered, it's worthwhile if you have something a little different to add to the topic. Thanks again and I went over to sub you as well:)
I have 2 huge black walnuts tree in my backyard. My brothers and I used to sit in the backyard and eat them fresh from the tree. Absolutely, delicious. I'm going to make this tincture this week from my walnuts out back.
Thank so much Kim! I appreciate you taking the time to tune in and I am glad you found the video to be informative. That is a good association between the bark and shell, a good point to remember. Take care!
thank you for your video! we have some black walnut trees here and I'm definitely going to try this. I had no idea this tree was so useful! please do another video 😊
Absolutely Clare, thank you for watching. They are a very beneficial tree for sure and a great resource to have. I promise, more videos are coming soon:) Thank you for your interest!
Thank you, my son and I did this as a home school project because we found out Indians used it for dye too and he was thrilled that he got to dye his shirt. Please keep the videos coming very good info!
Made a batch in September last year. Kept it in fridge. Used it back in May to stain a pouch I made for my flint and steel kit and a possible bag. Checked it today and it had fermented. So I went and collected some more and made another batch today.
thanks for sharing your experience with us I appreciate you for taking your time to share keep up with your great videos wish you all the very best my friend
This is a great video; got black walnuts all over the place here...If you wanted to make another vid, you could mention how long the solution keeps in what kind of weather, and other details like...ok to pour inside an open wound...or just surface to help heal? Can the bark be used like the hulls when the nuts aren't in season (say winter time)??? You mentioned anti parasitic...can be taken internally? how much? how often? This is great, Thanks again, gonna look some of this stuff up! God bless. :)
I love the flavor of the black walnuts! I use them in several recipes that I make throughout the year. You have to work for them though! Thank you for watching Brian. I appreciate it brother.
From the sound of it, the part that makes this solution so useful is the iodine and you don't want to take that internally without knowing precisely how much iodine there is in it and under a doctor's supervision
That is an excellent question and one that I was curious of myself. I left the wash in the bottle that you saw it in at the end of the video and kept it on my porch. after about 8 weeks I noticed a small amount of mold growing on the very top of the liquid. The wash itself doesn't look any different, it just has that small amount of a blueish colored mold floating on top. I don't know how it would have been different had it been kept indoors. This is definitely a question worth exploring further. Thank you for your interest!
This is excellent! I don’t have black walnut trees in my area. However, I do have black walnut powder ground from the hulls.How would the powder be utilized in a wilderness situation? Infusion/decoction or a wash over a cut?
That is a good question Joseph. i am not familiar with using the powder honestly but I would believe a decoction would probably be the better choice if using as a wound wash. I tend to reserve this method for when you are in the field and need to utilize natural resources off the landscape when better products might not be available. Carrying commercially made iodine (2% tincture) has a lot of merit too as it can be used in first aid but also for water disinfection. I hope that helps :)
I live in south Spain and we don't have black walnut trees in the wild, but luckly we have some city parks with black walnuts trees as ornamental trees i will try this antiseptic wash and also the nut meat. What are the leafs tea god for?
Greetings in Spain! I am glad you have access to these beautiful trees even if only in the park. I honestly have not used the leaves and at best, they would produce a much weaker version of this. The hulls and the nut itself is the real gem. The flavor of black walnuts is amazing if you have a palate for it. It's usually one of those love it or hate it type flavors. I hope you get to experiment with those and I appreciate you tuning in and commenting!
I would say it would need to be used in the short term. This is really more of a field expedient remedy. If you kept it in a cool dark place it may have some shelf life but I have only made it as needed. Good questions! Thank you for watching!
It may last longer if you refrigerate it? I have never tried to store it. It would be an interesting experiment. I sometimes carry commercial iodine in my first aid kit as it is more concentrated than this would be. I tend to think of these methods to be used when actual iodine isn't available. I hope this helps 🙂
I am not 100% sure. I have only made it for immediate use but I imagine if stored properly, it could have some length of shelf life. I think how you store it (conditions and container type) would make a big difference. I wish I could give you a more definitive answer. I appreciate your interest!
Awesome video! Please check out : Hulda Clark/ RIP she was a pioneer in the benifets of black walnut hull/ tree. She had a doctorate in physiology and biophysics
My grand mother use to tell me black walnuts got rid of parasites in your body & I always loved em so no prob learning granny's ways. These old remedy's we all should go back to & leave the chemical filled meds at the drug store we"d all be better off👍
worked pretty good. We just jarred the black walnuts up in mason jars and water and set them in the barn for 2 or 3 years. Put the date on the lid and use the oldest jar. It worked well on earmites and canker. We did not boil it....if we had boiled it, it would probably not have took 2 years to get right...lol
Very nice. I bet that your solution was quite potent with it aging so long. I may have to collect some and try the same thing myself. I appreciate you sharing that with me Todd. Very good idea.
I love using this as a hair rinse. Keeps any dandruff at bay and helps to conceal any would-be grays!

Your way of removing the outer shell is a life saver. Everyone else is shaving it down with a knife 😓.
Good job Matt. I getting tired of other channels making feather stick, gear reviews and overnighters. Thanks for stirring it up a bit. - Josh

the bark resembles the walnut shell itself, easy to visually associate the two. really informative video!
Thank so much Kim! I appreciate you taking the time to tune in and I am glad you found the video to be informative. That is a good association between the bark and shell, a good point to remember. Take care!
I'm going to try this. Have a tree 30 ft off my back porch. Thanks for the tip.
This is a great natural remedy! Thank you for your time

Dude, very awesome, I learned something new today, I had no idea about this. Much thanks for sharing this!
Absolutely Torrin! I am glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate you tuning in as always brother!
Not sure if there is any of these trees here, but there used to be lots near where I used to live. Useful information. Thank you for the video,Matt
Absolutely brother. I appreciate you watching and for your interest and comments. Take care.
Matt that was some knowledgable information, would be nice to learn more about the rest of the tree. GBU Dolores
Thank you Delores. I will see if I can get around to more usage of black walnut in the future. I appreciate your interest and kind comment. Take care.

I have rhe same question how to use it?
Great video! How do you store it and what's the shelf life?
I’m a beginner at this and Most people make a tincture with alcohol is it shelfstable just boiling in water?
Thanks a lot for making this this video. Very interesting to watch and easy to learn.
well done..thanks for posting..safe journeys
Thank you for watching Blackie! I appreciate you tuning in my friend.
good job Matt, make you save some for when you want grind the husks into power for dye, then eat the nuts and you're good to go!

Great video! I just SUBSCRIBED TO YOUR CHANNEL!😊🌱
Great video Matt!! Thanks borther
Thank you for watching Michael! I have to give you a call soon. Take care my friend!
Good job Buddy
Thank you Scotty. I appreciate you tuning in my friend!
Thanks for the tutorial.
Can you drink that for an anti-parasitic?
Or eat the green hulls?
From the sound of it, the part that makes this solution so useful is the iodine and you don't want to take that internally without knowing precisely how much iodine there is in it and under a doctor's supervision
You can take a few drops like 2 or 3 made up as tincture
Use leaves as a tea
Thank you for this information! Question...how long is it good for...days/months/years?
That is an excellent question and one that I was curious of myself. I left the wash in the bottle that you saw it in at the end of the video and kept it on my porch. after about 8 weeks I noticed a small amount of mold growing on the very top of the liquid.

@@blackhatbushcraft have you figured out how long this stuff keeps. I made a couple batches today.

@@blackhatbushcraft Great answer. Your channel is so helpful. I’m looking forward to the day I can come to Ohio and take some courses.

How long would this solution last if kept in a mason jar? Can it be used as a shelf item or does it only last a week or so?
Excellent
My question is can you use that solution as a mouth rinse, or is it just on skin?
Thank you for sharing.

How long will this keep?
How long will a wash like that last? I mean does it ever go bad?
What do you think the shelf life of that wash is, roughly ?
What's the shelf life of the tonic? Is it light sensitive?
I would say it would need to be used in the short term. This is really more of a field expedient remedy. If you kept it in a cool dark place it may have some shelf life but I have only made it as needed. Good questions! Thank you for watching!
Excellent! Is the solution topical only? or can it consumed as well to take care of intestinal issues.
Good question Todd, I have only used it topically and have no knowledge of taking it internally.
@@blackhatbushcraft Thank you. I ask because I have two Black Walnuts out back and was not aware of their amazing potential. Have a great weekend.
Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely buddy! You have a new sub:)
Would there be any way to preserve this if I made a large batch and wanted to have it to bring out with me throughout the year?
It may last longer if you refrigerate it? I have never tried to store it. It would be an interesting experiment. I sometimes carry commercial iodine in my first aid kit as it is more concentrated than this would be. I tend to think of these methods to be used when actual iodine isn't available.

@@blackhatbushcraft THANK YOU so much!
I've read you put a lil bit of cloves in it to preserve it , stop the mold
What would be the shelf life for the wash?
I am not 100% sure. I have only made it for immediate use but I imagine if stored properly, it could have some length of shelf life. I think how you store it (conditions and container type) would make a big difference. I wish I could give you a more definitive answer. I appreciate your interest!

we made ear canker medicine for our dawgs from black walnuts...
That is a great idea Todd. How did it work out? That would make a good video in itself:) Thanks for watching my friend!

Wasn't my idea....it was handed down thru the years I guess. A Grand Dad thing you know...
@@toddgibson9861 but doesn't it mold in just water? I never heard of things preserved just in water if not canned or such
that hat isn't black
LOL! I keep hearing that. It's too hot down here for the black hat right now. I do miss it and that's part of why I don't like summer:)
