Please let us know how you go! We would love to see it.

Yes, we have a video on it. th-cam.com/video/KCSifmmTuVc/w-d-xo.html

Ergot is similar to LSD and linked to the Salem witch trials

Lol, if they break out of the Australian farms, then yes. However, in their native regions they roam from sea level to the heights of Peru, so presumable the would access many 1,000's of different plant species and likely eat the leaves of many trees similar to eucalypts and wattles.

Always consult with local elders for specific area knowledge or other seasoned foragers from your region. Use the 'universal edibility test' examples are available on military websites. We also have a video on that topic linked in the above video. Hope this helps.

Hmm, I may have to do some 'personal research' on the topic.

It's a long video, so if you can pinpoint the exact moment of singing, then I can more accurately answer your question.

@@Ilovethebush Thank you

Eu falo um poco che Portuguese. E más maravilhosa fibra indeed. It's probably better than hemp.

Fascinating, Colorado, we would have to do a spore print to confirm if it's the same as the Australian varieties.

@@Ilovethebush Didn’t spore print it, but a little reading up shows that lentinum Arcularius is found on nearly every continent (excepting Antarctica). Have to say I was pretty stoked to see your video on YT for them, AND you’re chowing down on ‘em!! 😆🙌🏼🤙🏼 Cheers from the Northern Hemi Mate!

Cool, yukka soap. I will have to try it. I knew there had to be a good use for yukka.

Hi, Have you tried boiling the water? Also, the natural rotting process keeps the bark moist and flexible. Leaving bark on the ground, in the shade, polar side of the tree. Weave it whilst it is still wet.

Hi & thank you so much for your attention. Indeed I first soak it in hot/ warm water for days . When soft enough I then starting the weaving. Unfortunately, with time it dries & coils again. I went as a far as putting oil but to no avail.

Try flipping the bark pieces to counter the forces. 1 up, 1 down, up, down, up, down.

Thank you so much wonderful people. I never flipped but has thought of the idea. Thing is I got them woven like a carpet & with damp cardboard underneath. While constantly spraying water to to avoid drying eventually recoiling & even breaking.

Thank my dear. Soaking them in hot water plus leaving them for days in water are the basic techniques I apply. As soon as they're soft enough I then start weaving them on damp flat cardboard. To avoid dryness I spray the wooden ones still lying on the floor in a carpet form. Thing is I wood like to maintain that moist without having to constantly spraying.

Hey @Shells-yh1nu, we are no longer on instagram. The account was shut down about 6 months ago. Our content is best served on TH-cam and keeping up with multiple accounts is time-consuming. Thanks for the support and we will have a new vid coming out soon.

Forests instead of trees. It's a visual image difference. It is often said, "we need to plant more trees." Then only monoculture is planted, and the planting fails due to lack of biodiversity. Burn the grasslands and activate the seeds of forests. Maximum biodiversity.

I will have to try it. Thank you for the suggestion.

Could always 'call in the debt' and foreclose on their mortgage, reclaim the property as collateral and distribute the resources to the general public for communal use. Train people in the 'culture' or cleanliness, maintenance and repair. Tell people that it is their home, their space and their responsibility to maintain it to the highest quality. Create a culture that looks up to and emulates clean people, skilled crafters and we will have young people that will clean and repair the places to earn social (emotional) credits. Tell the children stories of how the attractive people became attractive by being clean and nurturing the resources of the tribe. Then the desire for ultimate breeding rights will also motivate their actions.

@@Ilovethebush glad to see that you are addressing the issues associated with the problem, it isn't a one dimensional problem. If there was goodwill in the world then we could do this, and come up with case specific solutions. Sometimes these kinds of projects start by someone taking the lead in a small community and then it grows and spreads.

Sounds like you are someone. Let's get it done.

Agreed, Winnebagos make terrible homes. People need solid foundations to protect from the winds. Winnebagos and vans and homes on wheels all rock around, causing restlessness.

We the people, are the ones who write the policies that become law. Lore is energetics and comes down to how we vibrate. How we vibrate is governed by the substances we consume. If a substance is energetically hot and racy (Yang qualities) then it will bring those Yang qualities into our bodies and make us move in Yang ways...Hot and racy. The Art of War by Sun Tsu states: "No battles was ever won in defence" So ignore the government and focus on planting seeds of edible, medicinal, timber, habitat any kind of plants you like. Another saying: "What we focus on grows" Focus on what you want...an abundant world, full of beauty, fresh clean rivers and food plants lining streets, food forests, fish full water ways. Potatoes can be a great way to ground racing thoughts and deepen sleep. Midnight purple potatoes make be feel like I just smoked a huge spliff. Consult with your local Chinese Medicinal professional. And if you are in the tropics, look for 'Blue flowering billy-goat weed' Ageratum houstonianum. Chew the leaves or flowers, or any part and it will clear paranoia and chase away dark thoughts and evil spirits

It would be ideal to roll out flour mills and water mills to every town across Australia.

@gmartlife, the fibre was boiled in water. The natural breakdown of the fibres albumens softens the fibre. :)

Solanum mauritianum is only one plant. Are you asking if the smoking applies to all solanums? The answer to that is ‘No.’

@@Ilovethebush so theyre safe to smoke when dry roight?

'Safe' is a subjective term, as we are unable to give medical advice on this channel. I have smoked it, with nil adverse affects other than the side effects of nicotine. Depending on what culture and time period, smoking has been seen as positive and health promoting and also detrimental and disease promoting. E.g. Western (European and English speaking) culture in the early 1900's promoted cigarettes as healthy, using 'alleged' doctors for T.V. promotional ads. Current Western culture, now condemns the act of smoking. Various branches of Chinese medicine consider the lungs to be the 'sensitive-organ' and strongly encourage the avoidance of smoking of any kind. Various cultures use various kinds of smoke to cleanse 'unwanted energies.' So, this is a varied topic and subjective.

I drank out of the Rhine when we were in Koblenz. Got sick. I've grown up naked in a forest, so I thought that water everywhere was drinkable.

@@Ilovethebush Right now it is awful. Often I wish I had more influence to sober things up. Maybe in the future.

Your power is greater than you know. Rally the people. Make art of the before and idealised vision of the after.

Hemp bedding goes a treat in chicken coops. It keeps the mites down and the smell, plus absorbs heaps of water.

I study languages and dable in voice acting.

@@Ilovethebush Kulh

Sometimes, I stare at them when they bite me. Have a yarn to 'em and say "you good there, bud? You done yet?"

It also retains much of its colour and makes a nutritious combination when boiled stinging nettle. Lots of iron.

Go for it! This dye goes green when ash is added.

Evidently not...

Hey there, thanks for the comment. Videos take time to edit and produce. We have been on the road for the past year seeking a permanent abode. When the time is right, we will have a video coming up. Till then, we ask our subscribers for patience. Cheers!

@@Ilovethebush if we were more setup I would love to offer you something. Very patient but wanted you guys to know that there are people out there who love the channel!

Thanks, mate!

Originally i was probably trying to extract the starch from the fibre to eat, however, removing the starch also aids the longevity of the fibre by removing the food source of the bacteria that would otherwise compost the string.

Gracias por las recomendaciones, Jesus!

keep us updated :D

Thank you for your kind comment! :)

Lantana is a pioneer plant, creating rapid protection in damaged ecosystems. It is filling a niche in environments that have been destroyed by clear felling and poor land management practices, such as what is commonly called 'controlled-burning' or 'hazard-reduction' by the RFS and the Gov. The most effective long-term strategy for getting rid of lantana is to overshadow it and also make use of 'cool-burning' techniques like those demonstrated in our other video: th-cam.com/video/mLpQKdeJpkY/w-d-xo.html The closest native alternatives include Bursaria (a spiky plant that makes walking through the bush almost impossible and native raspberries, that require cool-burning to proliferate in a manner strong enough to out-compete lantana.
