[MrBudwv]

Thanks Mike. Was that a clay bowlyou mixed it in? I think there is an important reason you don't use a metal bowl or pestle.

[Spearfisher1970]

I don't know if you saw my recent comment on the wildernessoutfitters channel or not, but this was what I was asking for Dave to do - thank you. As far as long-term survival, gotta imagine the toughest part would be finding or creating the KNO3 (as long as sulfur was near-by).

[BCRachelReed]

@Spearfisher1970 i will be doing a vidieo next year on that subject thanks for watching .

[kmbmet]

I like it!!! how long did it take for the powder "paste" to completely dry? Once again great video.

[BCRachelReed]

@kmbmet 24 hrs thanks for watching .

[NewbieCamper]

Great video, great information -and really neat demonstration! Thanks.

Q1 - Did the book say why Willow is The preferred wood; i.e. does it contain a high amount of some element so in charcoal form, it reacts better (or in a different way than other woods) when mixed for gunpowder?

Q2 - Re the last ingredient ;-), presumably it's the uric acid that's wanted, but do you know what letting it go stale does for the process?

Thanks again for a great video!

[BCRachelReed]

@NewbieCamper soft wood is the only wood you can make into real good charcoal. no i do not the book never said he just used pee .

and you welcome have a great day thanks for watching .

[mediasmoker]

Very useful info, thank you. I use that exact grinder everyday, actually I have a couple of them for different grinds...they just don't want to wear out. Just a thought though...when I need to put my grinds into a small container...I dump it on a paper plate first, smack the side a couple of times like you did and then roll the sides of the plate, using it as a funnel into the container...no spills & works like a charm.
