Edible wild plants: Staghorn Sumac - Rhus typhina (Wilderness survival tips and courses)

That looks like a red marijuana bud lol

Sumac stems make effective hand drills when thor­oughly dried. When green they also make good basket-weaving material. After burning out the center pith, you can use the stems for blowtubes and pipestems.

@stmarysks peak. lawl. Hence "peaksurvival".

You want warm water and not hot or boiling or you leach the tannins out. Tannins make it bitter. The ascorbic acid (vit c), which is the source of the tart flavor your after, is on the hairs of the berries, not in berries. Try to collect when the weather has been dry.
