Excellent video! Thank you for sharing your know how!

what did u add to puree and how much

Really enjoyed your video. You explain the process better than anybody else! Now I’m going to go and make cordage with Confidence! 😏

Looking forward to getting the opportunity to try this at some point

Nicely done.

Lovely, thanks,

I really like this video a lot. Definitely worth a thumbs up and more! You should make more videos like this. I wonder what other colors you can get from a survival situation or in your case bushcrafting activity.

Are the grapes that you picked sour? My wild grapes here in Florida are called Summer grapes and they are very bitter I'm just wondering what sugar content I could use

In the beginning of the video, it looked like you harvested the nettle from a raised bed. Do you grow it on purpose? I’ve always thought of it as a wild plant to be foraged.

Thank you for yet another great video. (^^,) 1 or 2 tips, is when you're finished with fine sandpaper or a rough sandstone. Use a antler bone, or a very smooth round stone (e. g. Flint stone). To press the wood fiber down, that way you get it very smooth and a little shiny too. For oile always use walnut oile, it's more food safe and it don't go stale / rancid. Best regards from Denmark. (^^,)

Hi Alexandra. It was a surprise to see a fellow Tracker on TH-cam. Wish you had added how to splice other strands onto the cordage to make it longer for purposes more useful than making a bracelet. We both had a great teacher, so I know you know how to do this. Great video. :-)

Thank you.

Right on! Love this video. Was wondering about using burdock to cook in fire, gonna try soon!

I raise it in a raised bed . I dry some. I can some. But when it gets too big to use as such i make string,rope, ect.

Using a straw as a blow tube makes it easier to focus your breath into certain areas on the coals and keep your face further back from the smoke, if it is bothersome. For an even more primitive experience, you can select nicely shaped rocks with different surfaces for sanding both inside the bowl and on the outside surface. You can also coal burn spoons. Its a bit tricker because of a spoons smaller size, unless you are wanting to make a larger serving spoon. It’s worth the experience to give it a try. : )

I assume that the yucca fibers you were using is from a flat leaf yucca variety. Lucky you to have that variety! Do you always do your cordage twisting with dry fibers?

Wonderful idea, thank you very much!

So cool! Thank you

Excellent bowstring material!

Thank you for this video. You may not realize this, but nettles also makes a great bowstring!!👍

wow! they dont look like they could produce thst much color! cool!

This is my favorite of yours!

Somebody forgot to tell him that we have power tools that can do that now.

Thank you for making this video, it’s really interesting to see how other people harvest and use spruce root as there aren’t loads of other videos! I’ve made a video myself about harvesting spruce root and I think the only bark stripping method I haven’t tried is burning it off 😁 It’s by far my favourite basket weaving material and I’ve fallen in love with it! Good luck with making more beautiful projects!

Off-topic but I must ask. Only in female Americans’ speech, the voice switches to low-key growling by the end of every sentence. I haven’t heard this from anyone else. Just American girls. How and why?

I love the quote: '...use these beautiful roots ~ and connect more deeply to these Wonderful trees,' Thank You.

Amazing you can get such a neat, durable material from roots! so cool!

What happened to Matt? He fell off the planet.

😒 'promosm'

Luv it! So clear, and well-spoken...a Beautiful piece of Luvly, useful art.

very cool!

This was a really good and concise recipe. Thank you

Have you eaten the early spring male pollen spikes yet? I harvest them from mid-May-early July depending on the species. Narrow leaf spikes earlier than the native broadleaf. Both are delicious. I boil them for about 4-5 minutes, remove and dip in salted butter. They taste a lot like corn, are tender and delicious! The spring of 24' I will try them in melted cheese and sauteed like asparagus in butter and lemon pepper. Blessings.

I gathered a bunch of these just now, they're really good

👍👍👍

Why do you discard sedament /pulp?

My mate Bleddyn told me when I was 16 that he’d give me a fiver if I went over there and intentionally stung my Willy on those nettles. I took the challenge. It wasn’t nice. I’m 51 now. Still no fiver.

Oh My God you look just like Jenna Fischer!! 🤩🤩🤩

i have bad joints, and sometimes will run my hands through nettle, for me it provides some relief for about a week, but the first 4-8 hours kinda sucks bad

Native Americans in Missouri used the plant "rattle snake master" for cordage and clothing for 12,000 years until Europeans arrived. Look up Arnold research cave for more information if you are interested.

This is exactly the simple recipe I was looking for. Thank you!

How old do you want the nettle to be? Should it still be somewhat green or really dry?

I so appreciate your interest and knowledge to share such valuable information, thank you..! 🙂

Cute chick. Nice knowing some are still out there.

Hubba Hubba and a great video 👍👍👍👍

Thanks so much, really enjoyed the demo & explanation. I'm keen to give this a go in Oz, though they don't grow quite so tall...

My wife and I are semi-professional foragers, and have been scouting the grapes this year. Here in northern CT, there is a bumper crop this year, 2023. We've got about 10 days to two weeks, before the grapes will be ripe. It'll be grape juice and jelly for days! I'm curious to know if you added a measured amount of sugar to a measured amount of juice, prior to canning. I see another commenter said your jelly turned out great. That's awesome!

Good video. It would be nice to see how to join lengths as you go, if possible, so as not to constrained to producing short lengths

I remember me old Pa made nettle soup once - and it were sh!t!!! But, that said, I'm tempted, now that I'm a lot older, to give it another go. He's still kicking, and over 90, so....yeah:-D

You are very easy on the eyes and a great teacher. Thank you for the video.
