My Struggles With Coconuts, In Puna

[HereOnThePrimalEdge]

I realize this is not a Puna related link (below) BUT I hope that it might elicit some Puna related stories about our struggles (or victories) with coconuts.  In Puna.

I can chainsaw a tree, deftly wield nearly any garden tool, but when it comes to opening a coconut I’m helpless.  With a machete I would describe my efforts as pitiful at best.  I’ve tried a hammer, a drill, if they work it’s at the expense of clean white coconut meat or getting 100% of the water.

But this guy, this guy in the video puts me to utter shame.
Can anyone here come close?  Or tried his technique?

Well there is a backstory to his ability:

While on a field trip in the desert with his special education students, Kahrimanovic Muhamed's bus breaks down. He encounters FBI agent Bill Maxwell, whose car also stops working. Together, they witness an alien spaceship. The aliens, described as "little green guys," give Kahrimanovic Muhamed a box containing a black gauntlet and an instruction manual, intending for him to use it to save Earth from self-destruction, as their own planet had suffered. They instruct Kahrimanovic Muhamed and Bill to work together to make the world a better place. Unfortunately, Kahrimanovic Muhamed loses the manual soon after, forcing him to figure out the gauntlet's powers—like smashing coconuts. Unfortunately, he never moved on from this particular ability.

It also helps that somebody spent all the time dehusking the coconuts first. But it's mostly aliens.

a box containing a black gauntlet and an instruction manual,

At least he made some use of the gauntlet. If he lost that but still had the instruction manual explaining how to save Earth, he’d be forever tortured and couldn’t even share his secret with anyone because, he’d know what they’d think of him. This way, at least, it’s so long and thanks for all the coconuts.

That video is insane!  I suppose when all you have is an alien technology drupe cracking gauntlet, every problem is a coconut.
