[00:31:50]
and umm, what else, anybody else got any good questions on that part of it?
[00:31:55]
Don't you have anything Larry?
[[response inaudible]]
[00:32:02]
Yes. By there way, you know there is, there is, umm,
[00:32:06]
they used to make, at Easter time, they used to make a bread
[00:32:09]
and it was baked on birch bark.
[00:32:12]
I don't remember the name of the bread.
[00:32:15]
[[Larry responds]][Larry Sauuko]
[00:32:18]
Ya [[Larry talking]] Ya
[00:32:21]
And then there's another thing, you'd, you'd, like if you'd be in the, in the bush
[00:32:25]
and you'd be working a trapline of something like that and you needed hot water for your drink
[00:32:30]
or if you're up at the lake and you were going to have boiled fish.
[00:32:34]
Fish is boiled good in there, in birch bark.
[00:32:37]
You take and you make a pan out of birch bark
[00:32:39]
and you keep that wet, and as far as the water is the birch bark won't burn.
[00:32:43]
But soon as the water goes out of birch box, poof, it's gone.
[00:32:46]
But you got to put the brown side towards the flame.
[00:32:49]
And you can boil water in birch bark, it's no, it's very simple
[00:32:53]
{SPEAKER name="Larry"}
Tell them about birch sap
[00:32:58]
{SPEAKER name="Marvin Salo"}
Oh yes, birch sap, you use sugar.
[00:33:00]
I think you've seen these, I think they call them velamints
[00:33:05]
I think you've seen velamints, that is birch sugar
[00:33:08]
Those are made out of birch sugar, the sugar's imported from Finland today
[00:33:13]
[[Larry inaudible]]
[00:33:18]
Yes, and they made a beer out of it which got you very intoxicated too
[00:33:21]
[[chuckles]]
[00:33:24]
Yes, there's a tea that comes out of birch, you take the, right below the birch bark,
[00:33:28]
there's a brown layer, and they used to make aminthymion[[?]]
[00:33:33]
You wouldn't just eat that, you'd take the stuff and you'd crumble it up into small pieces
[00:33:38]
and then you'd boil it in hot water, let it boil and your water would turn kind of reddish color
[00:33:42]
it is, it's a little bit on the sweet side and it's a little bit on the bitter side
[00:33:46]
but it isn't very... it's, I mean, it'll, it'll work as a kind of, umm, I don't know what you'd call it but it's,
[00:33:55]
you can get by with it, it's better than water [[chuckles]]
