Making Birch Oil From Birch Bark - Ancient Medicine and Natural Super Glue
Рет қаралды 80,943
5 жыл бұрынBushcraft Special - Using our land for everything we can is very important to us. Collecting oil from the bark of the Birch tree. We used an old pot with a hole drilled in the bottom, filled the pot with birch bark, and placed it above an old soup can that was buried up to about an inch below the rim. A fire was kept burning around the pot for 2 hours and the end result was 50ml of birch oil.
Human use of birch tar, which is made by further reducing the birch oil, dates back thousands of years with evidence of it being used to attach arrowheads, build canoes and even being used as a chewing gum. There is also indigenous knowledge of the oil being used to treat conditions like psoriasis and eczema. The oil is said to have anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fungal properties because the bark contains Salicylic Acid and botulin, which are part of the tree’s natural defense system.
Here's an article about the chemist and indigenous professor teaming up to study birch oil:

It is important to note that the can used to collect the oil does not have any coatings. Some cans are coated with plastic or Teflon. When exposed to heat, these coatings can contaminate the good oil and potentially cause health issues.

That "ash" left in the pot is high energy char for starting fires. You can make char from organic cloth (cotton), wood, bark, dense grass, etc in a partially sealed metal container just like you did. It's one of the best ways to start a fire from a simple spark. Save that stuff for emergency SHTF situations.

Birch oil is not water soluble but it is oil soluble, same as pine tar. You can increase your yield slightly by rinsing your can with the appropriate oil. I was always taught to never take birch oil internally as it is probably one of the most powerful natural antimicrobials in the world and could have catastrophic results to the natural balance of the digestive system.

Good attempt! There should have been close to a liter of oil there, I think you had this going too hot and for too long. The fact that you had such a big hole after the handle fell off, also didn't help. Ideally the bark does not catch fire. You can also aid the procedure by stacking the birch upright, instead of laying it flat, this will help in draining the oil down quicker. Also, make sure the hole in the bark vessel is cone shaped to the outside, like a funnel. It is not a good idea to just drill a straight hole as the oil will just stay trapped on the flat bottom, instead of running toward the outlet hole. You could drill the hole on the edge of the vessel and then tip the vessel slightly...either way. Thanks for sharing!

In order for your oil not to cook and protect it from the heat. What i habe seen is that people bring up the dirt about a third up the side of the pot. That way your collecting pot is completely insulated from the hot coals. Nice video. I’m totally going to look for wind fall birch tree next time and will collect some bark with my daughters. Great video, thanks for the inspiration!

I had to cut out a couple of birch trees that my buddy was worried were going to snap in the wind and fall on his camp. Last spring, when I started using it as firewood I started saving all the bark to make basically the same video... BTW, Chaga is not a mushroom per se, has mushrooms are the fruiting body of the mycelium. Chaga is a sclerosis (basically a scab) caused by the birch tree trying to eliminate the parasitoid (a parasite that kills its host) mycelium.

Two questions... 1. Have you ever tried a paper shredder to increase packing efficiency? 2. Have you ever tried setting up a distillation apparatus similar to what you would do for harvesting "Wood gas?" Note there is a KZfaq video on the second one (for wood gas, not for harvesting birch oil) It seems logical to me, from looking at the waste product that they are the same process. Going to have to try it sometime.

Ok so you now have Burch Oil. What next? As for the ash, that is active coal. It can be used in water filters and in the same way as activated charcoal. When the handle came out of the pot, it turns the pot into a gasifier. That burning gas can be used to run engines. There are three useful functions in this method.
