Me thinks Cornelius outsourced his sketches to Little Miss Red
I LOVE this series so much. Just as a tip for any LARP alchemists or healers... if you LARP with people who frequently neglect their electrolyte intake (looking at you, shield wall...), get some vials and pour a couple flavors of those sport drink concentrates into them. Now you can plop a splash into some water to rehydrate your patients and it looks cool while you're doing it. I used these to create healing potions that fighters could bring out on the field with them.
Even more extra! Add a pinch (really, a little goes a very long way) of edible food glitter (the same stuff used in cakes and bakery) and they'll give the impression of swirly magical potions! Totally edible and absolutely cool. You can also use water, food coloring and edible glitter to make a simple potion of staying hydrated that doesn't look like simple water
Another option is the powder kind, and maybe throw the glitter in with the powder so you don’t even see it glitter until it’s in the water, it’ll look even more magical
i literally have bandoliers of "Rejuve potions" when i do LARP, just a sports mix in a vial with a little water prepped each day. literally just hand one to whoever needs it (I always get the vials back, really good group), to just drop into their water bottles, or slam back for a quick top up.
I recommend either Tailwind or if sugar is not good for you Ultima Replinish. Both are balanced electrolyte replacements. Pedialyte is great two but it is premixed not a little vial you can add to water.
*writes down notes* I see, very good info.
using small rocks seems like the actual way that task was done back in the day. So simple, but so elegant
Yet another item I didn't know I needed, but can no longer live without.
A great price hack, especially since it's fall now, is going to a local orchard. Many of the ones that sell their own gourds, will dry out the ones that aren't pretty and sell them for super cheap.
My grandmother actually grew these gourds when I was a kid, and showed me how to do this we actually used them.
That's AWESOME! Hopfully my thumb will prove to be at least somewhat green lol.
Love this project! This reminds me of the gourd bottles in old Hong Kong martial arts movies where characters would be carrying wine in them, usually by characters that used Drunken Fist
Funny that I thought of the same thing. The movie "the drunken master" is one of my favorite movies, this video makes me wanna try making one too.
Oh my goard, this turned out amazing!
Seriously, that is how you make a sponsor spot. TH-cam take note.
I love all the water carrying crafts. It is such an important thing historically and functionally, but is so easy to overlook.
Really off topic, but duuuuuude! That jacket/sweater/gambeson is AWESOME. Looks so chic and cozy
You might try making a traditional porron to go with it. It's a kind of drinking vessel with a very long, skinny, bent tube at the top so that when liquid comes out, it pours in a stream. This allowed multiple people to drink from the porron without touching it with their lips. Traditionally it's used to carry wine, but you can really put anything in it.
What would be the best way to do that? I'm definitely interested in doing that
@@s7121n9s It's usually hand-made from blown glass, but it ought to be possible using a gourd by making a curved spout at the top the same way smoking pipe carvers do the stems for churchwardens (the type Gandalf smokes in the LoTR films), gluing together long, thin strips of wood and then steaming the curve into it.
Gourds are traditional where I come from! I'm happy to see more people use them for things other than just decoration for autumn.
That's a project someone might want to give a try who isn't into LARP, Cosplay, or even DIY.
Have literally been looking into making LARP-friendly bottles as my next project. Thank you for this idea!
Another easy way to make an authentic looking bottle is to leather wrap a durable camping canteen.
It may or may not be accurate to the middle ages, but it looks the part
Great bottle! I know you were looking for a non Emerson breaking way to have hot liquids too, you should look into making a kuksa. Its a fully wooden cup usually used for tea or coffee. Sealed with a hardening oil like tung oil. Really can get creative with the designs too!
What i am watching a video 3 min after it uploades, yes
I love how you make these things functional.
Next time you worried about cracking something you're drilling into get a step drill bit it will allow you to work up to the size hole you need easily. Harbor freight has a cheap set that works great
Ha! I’m literally smoking a Calabash Gourd Meerschaum pipe while watching this. Didn’t plan it. This just popped on my feed. Good luck. It’s no easy feat making an ebonite stem for it even if you get a meerschaum bowl already made. You’ll need a cork lining fitment and a mortise/tenon area for the stem. Most use a lathe to get a stem like that made. Love to see it though. The rocks is a cool idea for cleaning out the insides.
Also musical instruments like guiros and maracas are made from gourds!
10/10 instructions and seemingly much easier to get right than the leather bottles (which I failed to make my first attempt...)
The flat leather is liable to conform to the bottle's rounded bottom over time. To alleviate this, cut out a majority of the center of the leather, leaving a ring for the bottle to sit on. This will act like an infinite number of adjustable feet to keep it stable.
I was *literally* just looking up tutorials for gourd bottles last night, and now here you come creepin' in my notifications with this video. A+
You should totally plant the seeds and experiment with manipulating and shaping some to your needs as the gourds grow. This could be a video itself!
You can use the other gourds to make some period dishes for eating too.
thats for sure a future project. I love the way these look.
I got some seeds for bottle gourds. I'm growing mine to make an Ipu for my Hula class. Thanks for helping me figure out how to get the gunk out of the bottle.
That is so simple and cool! I've been struggling with my LARP water container, I'll have to give this a chance.
So pumped to see more you getting more sponsors. You deserve it.
Growing gourds this year to try this. Hopefully I can find this video again in a year or two when the gourds are ready
I covered an empty plastic water bottle with scraps of leather (using E6000). The leather acts as an insulator - I fill the bottle with water and put it in the freezer the night before, and take it out before I leave. It slowly melts all day, and keeps the water nice and cold. If I drink all the water and there's still ice I just fill it up again. I made a holster from other leather scraps, with a belt loop, and a leather tie to keep the top of the bottle in place. But now I want to try making a gourd bottle.
Omg thank you SO Much for this video I've been looking for how to make these for like a year now!
Great video. Love seeing all your practical and usable builds. Learning about the bees wax seal makes so mutch sence but I never knew that's how it was done
Awesome video I've always wanted to make one of these and now I know how. Super stoked!! Heading out Friday to get the stuff and will post on the discord! Thanks guys!
Thanks man! Great videos! Plan on starting up Larp and ur videos have been amazingly helpful!
I’ve always wanted one of thease since seeing How To Make Anything’s video on it. Tried growing some gourds myself, sadly due to unexpected weather patterns with me being a newbie in gardening it didn’t work out. RIP lil calabash.
Anyways, good thing to note Calabash is poisionous so don’t eat the gourds once you’ve got them growing XD.
Lots of things over all time have been made with them so plenty of crafts to do!
Of course, you could use a dried out butternut squash, which IS edible.
I was reading Paraffin wax lasts longer and doesn't leave a possible beeswax aftertaste! That said, this all is the perfect eco-friendly solution, especially if you leave out the leather. I've also heard of ostrich eggs being used! Though I'm unsure of the longevity or weight.
Can't believe I've been sleepin on this possibility. More than half a decade and the best eco-friendly solutions I could find were stainless steel waterbottles with a slight hint of unfavorable silicone. This uses none of that, the leather can be left out, and looks so much cooler. I love it. Glad I stumbled upon this
My grandparents used to make those and use them in the fields
I'd like to say that I think it's great the this channel, Skill Tree, is sponsored by SkillShare. I just think its neat.
this channel is sooo underrated! I LOVE your dedication!
This is awesome, I've always wanted to make one of these
YESSSS, I was just looking up how to do something like this and BOOM! New skill tree video
You are amazing!! Thank you for sharing this and GOD bless you 🙏
THAT'S INCREDIBLE I NEED ONE
Hope they paid y'all extra for that ad read. Way more effort there than even professional TV ads.
Oh wow, I’m surprised you did this, I’m happy my (and others) suggestion was done
the water bottle you made looks like something a viking would drink out of
My HORT instructor grew these at my college and had them out to dry when I was taking my plant propagation class. I'd love to grow some for myself.
I love this kind of show! God bless you and may fortunate smile upon your journeys!
I love your Channel so much. keep leveling up 😄
growing more gourds and the pipe project sounds really cool.
Back in college my friends and I would use pomegranate juice bottles lol. I don't know if we knew what the gourds were or just couldn't get them but a good spray paint and some spackle to bulk it out and give a little better finish. Was a good way to make something passable when we all had no money and only a dorm to work in lol
Great Video ! Definitely going to make a few of those.
TH-cam just recommended me your channel by your LARP Coffee Alchemy kit and I'm drinking every single video. As a larper I find this super useful!!! Obvs gonna try some stuff. I love your work! :D
Wow that's genius. Thanks for sharing.
got recommended this video and I have to say I am loving this idea!
This is so cool when I was in elementary schools my 4th grade teacher taught us how to make this it's like a blast from the past so cool!!!!!
Wow!! Pipes... Water bottles...maracas.. You will need to grow a whole lot of gourds because of all these great uses they have.
Me alegra haber encontrado este canal, esa botella de calabaza me encanta ya la voy a hacer 👀❤️👌🏻
Thats a sick gourd, and congrats on the sponsor!
Perfect solution
This is so awesome, I've always wanted to know how to make one of these and you make it look really easy. Thanks kit
My absolute pleasure! Thank YOU for being part of the fam! Good to see you here😁
@@SkillTree naturally
Oh my gosh, this is perfect!! I’ve always wanted one but didn’t trust ordering one blindly off Amazon. Also, the tucked in shirt is very Zaddy 🥰
Wooden canteen is probably the best option for a water carrying device
I will need to try that for sure!
I've missed ya dude!!!! Welcome Back!
My father was growing one of these, gotta see if he has one left. Thanks for the video!
Was just thinking about making one of these...
outstanding of a good. thank you.
Tip: If you want to see if the inside is clean and clear of debris, instead of running a finger in, which only tells you how clear it is down to your finger, you could use a torch to light up the inside, and see if it's clean. Maybe putting the torch on the outside of the gourd will light up the inside?
Of course if you want to be "authentically" SCA, you could use a candle and a mirror to reflect light into the gourd.
No, the walls are too thick in any good gourd for light to pass through. Been growing gourds for years!
A good to remember: these kind are historical accurate for pilgrims and travelers across all Europe from the XIIIth to XVIth century (were I stopped my research), there are a lot of visual sources for it :D
Calabasas, CA has the same root to the name. All of that time watching The Late Late Show w/Craig Ferguson finally paid off!
What a great project!
I have made a leather bota and two gourd canteens plus a heavy wood one.
In Arizona, beeswax tends to melt in the summer even with water inside.
Love it man
I purchased a cheap leather boda water skin and cut the plastic nozzle and carry strap, made a cork stopper and leather carry strap, and it looks awesome
Woooo! Been wanting to make one of these for a few months, even started my own gourd plant but it died lol
Love the project! (love your sweater too)
Amen! Terrific project but OMG THAT SWEATER!!
Nice job ! Very cool
I'm planning on attending my first wasteland weekend next year, and think this is a good way to take some water with me.
En mexico, donde vivo en Puebla, son muy comunes y baratos de conseguir. Tengo entendido que se hacen a partir de una calabaza a la que se le saca el relleno y se deja secar. Un recipiente milenario en nuestra cultura.
Love watching! Hopefully you cover some more cleric stuff soon, as I plan to be the dad-cleric of the party!
Thanks man, that’s sweet
Okay, I might need to tackle this one.
I just found your channel the other day and was thinking "man it would be cool to see him make a Gourd bottle". And now look at that!
Very cool! Thanks for sharing and exciting my imagination... again.
Woohoo! Future Skilltree Gardening! :P
ahhhhhhhhh sick a gourd now this is cool!
What I would really like to know is where I can get that sweater?
ive got a few gourds ready for this, but id like to get stopper fittings so the cork has a better seal. Cant find any except a single ebay listing and its for a size too small
Have you considered making a pickle barrel breastplate? Its a cheap, acceptable and relatively easy to work with medium for making larp/cosplay armor.
Another awesome project! love the channel. One thing I noticed is sometimes you link videos that aren't in any playlists on your channel so I've missed them. It might be just me but it could be a good thing to look into just because it might boast some views if they were easier to find.
Another wonderful video, only wish it came out sooner since I started this blind about a month ago 😅
I actually really like this idea. I'll have to give it a go. I'd need multiple gourds though because I drink a lot of water.
Recycling Hack: Use a 'POM' bottle, bulk it up and add texture with paper towel & wood glue (like paper machet, but better!), then paint!
Screw on lid, easily cleanable, looks decent, all readily available materials!
That was pretty cool I thinkna tighter net would have set it over the top
Oh my gourd!
I love your videos!
Btw...Where can I get that Pullover from😂?
This is so cool!! I want to make one of these. But I wonder how it could work with hot liquids. I mean, a warm drink in the Winter would be nice. But hey, I should be happy that I can drink water now
The secret villain returns (I hate ads but ironically I can’t look away! Bravo!)
Finally, my Drunken Master style can be completed with ease
