Water powered hammer for camping use

[dom14]

This is a pretty handy way to use a nearby water stream to crack your own "nuts" while camping in the bush.
Usually, we have to join the army commando unit to learn this kinda bush skills.
Things have changed.
Nowadays, you can learn to perform neurosurgery with the aid of youtube.

Water Power Hammer for Camping

Riiiiiight! All that effort into making something, to do something, that can be done by hand and much quicker. Unless I have missed the point of it all.

Yeah i did kind of wonder its purpose when he first set it up. given he worked out how to carve a bowl out of a softer rock you'd think he would have just gone to a Mortar and Pistel arrangement..... Kool Vid though!

Check out his cabin with a Heated Floor!

There are other applications of that setup. if you happen to be living in the bush closer to a creek, you can do something useful out of the flowing water.
Out of all the stuff he does, what intrigued me(and had a relaxing ASMR effect) is the simple pottery work he did with his bare hands using locally available clay.

I was actually joking when I worded it as a nutcracker.

The real use of the setup is as a hammer and many other useful bush applications.

I'm trying to think of one useful bush application that thing has got over a rock sitting on the ground that could do the same job, but faster. Ahh unless the user has two broken arms and can't break his brazil nuts?

Nutcracker idea was me trying to be a comedian and thought folks might crack up.

It's been used for water collection, redirection, etc since Babylonian times(it's likely they invented that).

Hammer is a new idea for me. Sure, hammer is not likely to come up as a camping application, but the other two above can be and
then the sky is the limit.
Think like Macgyver.

Like with some chewing gum and a paper clip?

I have often been sitting by a camp fire with a bag of Brazil Nuts and no hammer and wondering how can I open them, if only I had seen this before.

There may be a hint of sarcasm creeping in! Keep up the good work!
