How to open Coconuts with hand without any tools.

How to open Coconuts with hand without any tools.

    I will show you the method that I use for cracking open coconuts now when you go down to the store and buy a coconut it is already ripped out of the husk for you. But if you live on an island like movie castaway castaway you have to get through the husk in order to get to the coconut but coconut these husks are deceivingly tough . 

         If you want to open a coconutthey take an enormous amount of energy to rip through and so if you are in a survival situation trying to conserve energy the last thing you want to do is burn it all up trying to get to your source of food. Or else here's a little method that I have played around with to crack these things open using as little energy as possible. 

         When you give your coconut a good shake you should be able to hear the water sloshing around inside the coconut if you do not hear anything in the coconut maybe it's either chock full or completely emptied you can tell that. 

         By the weight of the coconut itself  can tlland when you look at the coconut ball you will notice that kind of has a sharp pointy end on one side and a blunt end on the other and what we are going to need to do is smash the top. So we crush the fibers and peel this thing apart.

     If we tried using rocks to chip this we would be chipping all day and we are not strong enough to pry this open with our fingers.What we actually need to do is crush the fibers and make them weak enough so we can pull them apart with very ease. 

     And the easiest way to do that is by using gravity now if you are on an island  all you need to do is come down to a rocky part of the beach then set your coconut up right on a hard surface and surround it with other rocks and

then grab a rock that is about as big as you can lift on your own raise it four feet high and throw it straight down into the top pointy part of this coconut

     and it might take a few tries to really get the fibers broken up so throw that rock as many times as it takes until you actually physically see the strands of Coconuts. Starting to bust loose so you can see after - smashes with a heavy rock how it's busted lines down

    This husk that is a very good sign it is already weakening the structure and now if we turn it over and give it one more good smack from the bottom side it should be enough to crack that so instead of spending hours peeling away of this thing we can let gravity do.

       That's looking pretty good so at this point you can feel this a softening up quite a bit and look at that it just peels right apart.

That's so it took three hits with the rock

two on the top one on the 

bottom and now it's to the point where 

we can just peel this off almost 

like husking corn. It's not difficult it 

doesn't take a lot of energy and 

there we have it

There is our coconut needs a little bit of a haircut but in essence that's what we are after right there. And the rest of this husk makes really great fire tender for starting your survival fire there it is so  gave our coconut a little bit of a haircut you can see now this is what they look like in the stores don't they ?

which is already the hard works been done for you now we just need to find a sharp Rock that we can bang this coconut ballagainst and crack it open which shouldn't be too difficult on a big rocky beach  now to get inside our coconut there is a cool trick we can use it involves these three dots on the face of the coconut and if you think of 

 it as a face you can see two of the dots look very similar where you call those the eyes the other one's a little bit

odd shape so we're gonna call that the mouth. Now if you split the eyes and follow it straight up the back you will

see a hard ribs line if you stop right

in the center that is the place that we need to smack the very hard against a rock so find a rock with a nice sharp

edge and set your coconuts so that your line is perpendicular to it what we aregonna do is just give it a nice crack

right in the center of the coconut and it should split a line right across the center

look how cleanly that splits the coconut open there and now if we just put our fingers into that line and pull back we

can pop it open and salvage the water from our coconut as easy.  That's good stuff so there you have it guys if you're ever stranded on a desert island and need to survive on coconuts. There's a quick and easy way to get the nutrition you need.
