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
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😅
@@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.
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.
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.
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!
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 😁
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 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.
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)!
I've been watching this dudes videos for awhile now but only on tik tok.. this is my first time watching a lengthy video of him doing what he does best. The man is a certified Badass. Every video I find myself paying attention like a dog and sometimes tilt my head like a dog cause some of this man's tactics are insane.. great video brother. Where do I find gourds in Texas.
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
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!!
@@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.
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....
👍👌👏 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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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

Thanks. I 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
@@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.

Absolutely. Thanks for watching!
Thanks Donnie
Thanks for video donny
My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
I love dried gourds. It does so much more
Just relaxing watching ur video..
Holy hell, this is so resourceful. Nothing goes to waste, except maybe the gourd meat. Though you could probably use them for fertilizer
Glad to see the pebbles. Reminded me of cleaning out a gas tank.🤙
Bingo. Thanks for watching.
Besides the hand tool wood workers this is probably the best channel I've been recommended. Living my dream right here.
I know this is off topic but people also make banjos out of gourds. Great video Donny
This is such a gourd idea
Great vid. How do you dry these guys out to begin with?
Awesome! Always wondered how they got the insides out after a scrape. Rocks! Today I learned😊
Outstanding video great content I have used them to make rattle's keep up the great work five stars brother
Thanks. Appreciate it greatly. Appreciate you watching.
Gourdgeous
I don't know if anyone has told you yet or not, but that dinnerware is Gourdeous.
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 😁
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.
I love gourds as a resource... So versatile and easy to work with...
Another thing made from a gourd, is a citar. Love your videos, thanks for sharing such great information. 🤙🤙
Well done sir. Always learning fron your videos. Thank you
Very satisfying......
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 !
Appreciate that greatly. Thanks for following the adventures.
Thank You Donnie !
clever . i like it
Awesome! Wish those grew here.
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.
Thanks for the video , i have at home the seeds and will plant them in spring :)
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)!
Very entertaining greetings from Mexico

I am saddened I didn't find your channel sooner, this is some great information!
Growing gourds of various sizes for the first time this summer, bottle and dipper. If it goes well I'm definitely Growing basket gourd
I love your crafts skills, really nice gourd !

The last part where you made the super little tiny bowl, in Argentina we use to drink yerba mate, originally made from gourd!
Looks like we got a Gourden Ramsey here
Gourds are nature's water bottles, bowls, and Tupperware. Cool
I'm from Amoxochitl, Juchipila, Zac.Mexico we call them Hicaras. Ahh memories
My gourd man! That was a great video
this man made this video an asmr
This is awesome
Love this sm!!!!

GOURDon Ramsey approves!
How did you dry it out like that
We still use the same till today to keep milk in
Awesome. Thanks for watching.

7:27 i was about to start dancing 😂
Here in south america We used something similar to drink yerba mate
Awesome.
@@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks yea lol and i think in the civil wars in the 1800s they might used to store black powder for the muskets
Very Informative Video! Thank you! How long will water stay drinkable if stored in a gourd?
I love th I love the YYZ play.
very cool. can't believe i discovered a good video from yt shorts.
Hmm, these would make some sweet poweder containers for muzzle loaders
I really want to see u try to use them with ur day
he scored the gourd...
If you don't use wax you should boil the gourd. Keeps it from making your water bitter
I’ve tried that and have had little positive results.
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.

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.
Do these only grow in warmer climates? I'm in Montana, never heard of these things, very cool
