    I like the way this is straight up and practical. No incessant talk or background music. Good teacher.

    Thank you for enlightening an old man on the attributes of healthy living with wild edible plants. So grateful for your knowledge.🙏
  • The apple syrup was a new idea I hadn’t considered. I’ve made apple butter (which is essentially super thick apple sauce) but not made actual syrup. Grape leaves are very tasty in a salad or wrapped around rice or meat filling. Grapes sweeten up AFTER being hit by a frost. If you wait until night temps drop the grapes will be more tasty, often no sugar needed. My parents had a group of hawthorn bushes at the end of the garden (the house was built in 1820, so had a lot of odd things growing around) but we had NO IDEA they were edible! For those leaning toward sustainability, eco-friendly foraging, remember to thank the native plants you harvest by dispersing the seeds you don’t eat, or even as you did and transplant the roots so new plants will grow. <3
  • As a child, my grandma had us picking dandelions to cook with her turnip greens or collard and the turnips or collard greens. She said the dandelion is good for flushing the kidneys and low iron and good for ur liver. When she cooked the greens without adding other greens, it was to flush the digestive system. We actually liked it.

    as a child, i walked to/from school. my friends and i always passed a corner house with a black walnut tree that had branches hanging over the edge of the walkway. we often sat at the corner and took off one shoe or boot to crack and eat walnuts until we were full lol. one of my fond childhood memories.
  • LOVE THE WAY YOU NOT ONLY SHOW AND IDENTIFY THAT YOU ALSO SHOW HOW TO USE IT!!!! THIS MAKES YOU THE BEST

    You should make a book with all of your wild edible recipes

    Cleaning roots are so much easier when done with a tooth brush. Get more of the grit out of the crevices and use some small pruning snips to cut the chicory roots up instead of fighting with the knife.
  • When your a heavy metal fan but you have an amazing knowledge of plants
  • @build7wealth
    So helpful to know what's growing around this planet earth. Thank you.

    FYI, in regards to grinding roots like the dandelion and chicory, I found an old style manual coffee grinder like my grandfather would have used in an antique store for eight or ten bucks. I often use it for grinding herb(s)... and for camping when there's no electricity available.
  • @trulyinfamous
    Thank you for educating people on things like this. With knowledge of wild edibles, you could feed a family.

    chicory is also used to make inulin. Inulin is taken by diabetics to lower the blood sugar. The coffe is very old. It is also used as a sweetener.
  • Where have you been all my life? This channel is the most practical, fun survival channel ever. Thank you. Please keep making videos. PS I’m a NH girl in a California world. So watching your videos reminds me of the homeland. 🙏🏼
