Gourd water bottles come in all different shapes and designs. Simply put…cut portion out around stem, scrap insides, run water through it and tie a lanyard or net to carry it….one gourd water bottle.
Bottle gourds are also good food when they’re young and fleshy. It’s got a spongy texture and a very mild, zucchini-like flavor. Excellent for soup. The leaves, shoots, and tendrils are edible when young as well, and the seeds can be roasted and eaten like most other squash or melon seeds. Definitely a versatile plant.
Really depends, usually they last quite a while if you only use water, depending on the gourd type they don't really decompose like you'd imagine I've handled maté calabash gourds and we cure them by clogging the porous inside with yerba leaves and it keeps it from molding and strengthens the integrity of the gourd I cant speak for this one in particular though
You're supposed to let it dry in the sun beforehand. We use these in Colombia to make... sour cream? Don't know if that's the right translation, but my aunt has had one for years no problem.
Hey, Donny. Another good way to clean the seeds is to throw in there a few rough edged pebbles and shake the gourd for half a minute or do in a swirling type motion.
Ah! yes, well said. Never heard that one before, but it pairs nicely with the idiom that ~ Necessity is the Mother of Invention~ which I in fact have personally always found to be the case.
Ive heard sealing the inside with beeswax helps it last much longer. Id imagine that the gourd unfortunately rots pretty quickly with the water inside it without being sealed. I guess if youre in freezing temperatures thats not as big of a problem.
@@Punkini Yeah it basically has the same effect I did read something about "Ancient Greek beer tasking different than others" not sure wether its the difference in coating or if its just a totally different brew but it might make the stuff taste different.
@@jadedoptimistt usually ive seen people just pour in molten beeswax, swirl it around the inside until its all coated, then pour the rest out. The beeswax hardens on the inside of the gourd and waterproofs it.
Different areas of the world were really blessed with different plants. Plants like this that could function as cups, bowls and bottles, especially bamboo is amazingly versatile.
They're handy as cookware for stone boiling too. When I was growing up we tied a hookset around the belly and used them for makeshift jugs for catching catfish. They also make a decent lantern housing.
Nice. I've made a couple as well. When I cleaned mine out, after getting the big stuff out (seeds & dried pulp) I put a few sharp-edged rocks in it and shook it for minutes at a time several times a day for several days to break all the other stuff out and clean it out good. I hate floaties in my water! Lol. I put some bead-worked leather straps on it as well to decorate it. I'll post a picture of it on my IG and my YT community page in case you want to see it.

How long do these particular gourds last? Most gourds I've ever interacted with only lasted for about a month or two until you opened them up, then they'd go bad in a few days. Are these gourds dry and hard or more like a pumpkin, where the flesh is hard, but still wet?
En México se llaman huajes se usan cuando ya estan secos , si los usas diariamente ( llenar y vaciar a diario) te pueden durar años la cascara es de aproximadamente 3mm de grosor
The Spanish guy explained it well but it’s in Spanish lol. They are dried out, if you use it daily then you must let it dry every time after you use it. It can last for years that way.
The way it has been done for thousands of years is to let it dry for approx 1-3 months until its hard, cut it open and clean it out (with a stick like in this video or my preferred method - tumbling a couple handfuls of rocks inside), then (frustratingly not shown in the video) seal the inside with wax. Preferably beeswax but any food grade wax will do, prehistoric people even used animal fat. You should not be drinking out of a gourd that hasn't been properly cleaned and sealed unless you wanna spend a couple days switching from vomiting to diarrhea and back.
Gourds are awesome, When muskets were first being used, They had gourds instead of powder horns. From early grenades to water to gunpowder containers, Gourds have a wide range of utilization
From a place I went to on my holiday in Cambodia they said to remove the excess material from the inside is by pouring hot water inside it and let it soak for about 10-20mins shake it around and dump the content out, you’ll be surprised how much more you can get out from it
Wow .. And it must also keep the water cool inside because its. Naturraly insullated inside....thats a beauttifull container provided free from nature..
You can cook and eat the young gourds as vegetable and you can drink water from its bottle after that delicious meal. how gastronomically delightful is that. 😊
Great question. I keep my containers natural. No wax, or inside liners. This avoids the liners from getting into you water or dry goods. I use the gourds for water and storage of water. If its empty...I try to keep it dry as possible. Hang it upside down and let it naturally dry out. This will keep it for some time. I have been using one gourd for about 14 months.
The confidence with which you insist we gotta get our hands on some gourds is pretty impressive. Four seconds into the video and I paused it to go get some. I don’t even know what they’re for.
His sand gourd was much different, these are what you'd see in the hands of a drunken fist master something I wish they wouldve made Lee, would've been amazing to have Lee slowly become a drunken master
Oh wow..seeing u clean out that gourd reminded me that we had to do that in one of my art classes. I stuffed sandpaper inside and moved it around with my pencil. Gourds smell weird while u sand them.
No, there's no credible evidence this was ever a thing. It's just a fun but false urban legend. The earliest mention of Cleopatra's bee powered vibrator anyone can find anywhere is in a book from 1992 by Brenda Love called _The Encyclopedia of Unusual Sex Practices_ which cites no sources for this claim. No citations and no previous mention in history suggests she may have simply made up the story to spice up her book. Futhermore, the idea that Cleopatra was weirdly highly sexual in the first place is rooted in Roman propaganda meant to slander her. Then there were some poorly forged "ancient" letters from the early 1600s and fictional stories and poems from the 1800s that told of her having orgies with hundreds of men and inviting anyone to have sex with her provided they be executed in the morning that added to her mythos. From there the story was wildly embellished upon by modern media and so today we have the urban legend of Cleopatra "the Powerful and Irresistible Femme Fatale Nymphomaniac," Queen of Egypt. Here is an article that goes much more in depth for those interested in the particulars of how and why she was portrayed this way including a whole section about the bee vibrator. talesoftimesforgotten.com/2020/10/20/was-cleopatra-really-hypersexual/
@@justinpitonzo8988 Ha, probably even less than that. Just a hundred years ago the girls that won beauty contests are downright homely by today's standards. Who knows what beauty standards were like thousands of years ago in ancient Egypt.
If you open up the larger end you can clean the seeds out much better. It also allows you to thoroughly clean the inside after drinking from it all you have to do is secure the cutout piece as a lid with some leather.
This is cool. Always had to wood burn or paint mine. Use to grow and sell these and made more in profit from gourds than I did vegetables. I always thought it was funny how decorations bring a better price than food.
Fun fact : In french, "Gourde" is the word for water bottle. Can also be used in reference to à rather stupid woman (ie. Bimbo). I would have a never thought it was an actual plant!
How did you dry them out before actually making the bottle? I had grown some this summer, I definitely didn't cure them correctly. Only one has survived, other ones got all black and squishy. (I followed EmmyMade when she said she just left them out in the rain/snow all winter.)
I hung some up in a closet and then my garage and they did well. Got some spotting but i think they're still good. Definitely leaving them in the elements will cause them to decompose (as they do in nature because you're leaving them out in nature). Keep them in as dry and cool a place as possible.
No worries. When ready to harvest...I bring them into a cool dry place and let them dry naturally. Expect a few spots and some occasional thin walled spots. Letting them do their natural journey will provide the best results. Climate is a factor and should be considered. Thanks for watching!.
My grandparents in Mexico used these as water bottles. A lot of the people in their town actually still use these. It’s crazy how the shape of it makes it easy to just put a lanyard on it to carry around
In my mother village there r every size from tiny to huge so they use to store different spices, ghee, honey but the one they use for yogurt, milk and water first they put a burning wood that smell good like sandalwood, they keep the smoke inside for sometime and when u drink water or milk from that it smell like rain or the smell or ground after the rain I love it, I wish I could upload here some pictures how they pain it and decorate with beads
After getting the seeds out, put some small rocks inside and shake around for a few minutes. They will knock loose any bits inside that you couldn't scrape away. You can also pour some hot bees wax and swish it around and pour it out to make a thin layer of wax inside. Just don't pour any hot liquids inside.
Awesome! I friggin love this guy! It all seems so simple right? But honestly, have you guys actually ever seen somebody doing this kind of stuff?!? ...Respect Donnie🤙

Gourds are good for storing dried herbs and such as well. Don Juan matus used em to store dried mushrooms in the Sonora desert. 🍻
I wish long life and health for you and all who sees this. Love your family now and forgive. Peace to all humans.
In my mother village there r every size from tiny to huge so they use to store different spices, ghee, honey but the one they use for yogurt, milk and water first they put a burning wood that smell good like sandalwood, they keep the smoke inside for sometime and when u drink water or milk from that it smell like rain or the smell or ground after the rain I love it, I wish I could upload here some pictures how they pain it and decorate with beads
After getting the seeds out, put some small rocks inside and shake around for a few minutes. They will knock loose any bits inside that you couldn't scrape away. You can also pour some hot bees wax and swish it around and pour it out to make a thin layer of wax inside. Just don't pour any hot liquids inside.

And the water has that wonderful gourd taste. It's a fresh earthy taste.
Our sages in India are using this bottle since thousands of years. Western world came to know this now

I'm going to grow some gourds in my veggie garden next year. Pretty cool 😎
Awesome. Check out my CZcams channel Donny Dust’s Paleo Tracks for full videos. Thanks for watching.
These used to grow in my back yard ..and my grand papa makes the same things with them too
I like watching this guy. I'm not sure why. Just dig it.
My grandparents had these in their house along other medieval items such as Goat skin shoes, sword, shield, gun power gun etc.
We usually dont open the hole in the middle but rather on the side near the top to reduce as much spillage as possible
Love your stuff my guy. Figure we’ll all be living like this soon enough so it’s much appreciated
My grandparents actually still had some from when they were young
Now THAT is an eco friendly water bottle!
