so just got back from the grocery store
I picked up a couple more coconuts these
things are about five dollars each and
you can see they are just the nuts
there’s no husks on these things now
remember how coconuts have a little face
like two eyes and a little mouth that
bottom hole is the softest of all three
holes and you might be surprised to know
if you just take something like a stick
or a twig you can just work it around in
that mouth and burrow out a hole that
goes right to the center of the nut so
you can pour the water out it’s actually
really surprising just how easy it is to
push a hole right through the mouth I
mean that just glides in like nothing
but if you were to try the same thing to
the eyes you’re going to notice they
have a lot more resistance now if you
don’t have a stick you can always use
just a pair of scissors as well just
poke it in and twist it around and
that’s just going to help open up that
mouth a little bit better and that
should make your hole big enough that
you can tip this thing over and pour out
all your coconut water without losing a
drop if you still want to get to the
meat inside you can still crack these
things in half and have yourself a meal
or if you want to leave them in this
condition you can fill these up with
fresh water stop off the hole you’ve got
yourself a little improvised water
canteen or you can fill it up with black
powder sticking a fuse and you get
yourself a coconut bomb like Swiss
Family Robinson that’s something I’ve
always wanted to try I picked up another
coconut just to show you again how easy
that really is now if we take our stick
even a blunt end of the stick and just
push it in there we can just carve it
around to where it makes a hole straight
through the coconut you can see this is
bursting to come out there
that is really good stuff you remember
this stuff this is the rope that I made
in a previous video out of coconut husk
as well but ropes not just good for
tying together rafts or string up
clotheslines you can also use it as an
improvised wick which means we can
probably make ourselves a coconut candle
so here’s the idea if you took another
coconut and shred it up all the meat you
could actually extract all the coconut
milk and out of the coconut milk you
could extract yourself coconut oil this
stuff is going to be the fuel for our
coconut candle so we got our fuel we got
our candle we’ve got our wick all we
have to do now is put them all together
cut off a length of your coconut husk a
rope and simply wrap it around your
fingers to make yourself a nice little
loop like this when you set this on the
table you now have a place for the base
of your coconut to sit so your coconut
stands upright without rolling all over
the place now we’re going to do is take
some of our coconut oil and fill up our
coconut then take the rest of our rope
and push it down inside to act as a wick
I’m really curious to see whether or not
this is actually going to work right
that’s had a couple of minutes to soak
let’s light it off now to light these
wicks you’re just going to need to hold
a flame on them for about twenty to
thirty seconds just enough to heat up
the oil the point where it’s
self-sustaining
[Music]
we have the ignition think we’ve just
created ourselves a coconut candle now
what should be happening is as the flame
heats up the oil I should start wicking
up more oil from underneath so rather
than burning the wick and completely
consuming it it’ll just start burning
off the oil vapors and create a nice
little candle for us if you want a
bigger flame tilt your coconut over to
about 45 degrees this will make it so
the oil can flow a little bit more
freely and your flames going to grow
exponentially it actually smells really
nice if you were to take some of this
stuff and wrap it around a stick and
soak it in coconut oil you could
probably make yourself a torch as well
so with a little coconut oil some
homemade coconut husk rope and some
coconuts we just made ourselves some
cool little coconut candles remember
guys you go 90 percent she goes 10
thanks so much for joining me for this
experiment I’ll be looking for you the
next video
talk to you then looks like our little
coconut guys doing something he probably
shouldn’t
