We call the corn dog plant "cat tails" and they are pretty useful. Can use the "corndog" part for starting fires and you can eat the root. the stalk can be used when making a shelter.
Actually the "corn dog" plants as you call them.... are cattails.... they are a little known source of super food..... you eat them fried in a little butter or maybe olive oil..... you strip them down to the white inner core, and that is the part you cook and eat. They can also be ground and used like rice, or flour. Also, they can be used to make furniture......... one rule of thumb though..... best not to just pick and eat ones that are in swampy or stale water..... but thought you would like to know they ARE actually edible!
Yep - in camp we learned to strip and grind them into flour and baked bread. It was OK - like most "nutritious" things, the flavor was nothing to write home about Why can't stuff that's good for you taste like candy or something? :-)
I'm amazed that you have only 123k subscribers. With all the great places you go to around the country. Always have my morning WOO before I head out. Thank you Adam.
Good morning Adam....long time viewer first time comment. The item in the blacksmiths? ...Belows. The Smithy would stand at his forge and anvil and only had to reach up and pull down on the wooden poll or "branch" to force air into the coals for more heat. That's the way they mostly do it today if the don't use electric fans....mostly. Thank you for allowing all of us into your life Adam. It's so nice to know I always have something to make my day start with a smile. Amazing job brother, stay strong, be safe and always stay true to yourself. I'll see you tomorrow...comment over.
lol these nights I enjoy. When I lay it down tonight I have about 4 AdamTheWoo vids to watch. Busy week. makes up for it especially when I work 7 days a week. appreciate it as always bro. be safe out there.
Mr. Woo, the metal thing you saw in the area where they made horseshoes was a hay baler nit an ice pick, they would use it to pick up the bales. The long things you call corndog plants are called cat tails. Loved the vlog. Beautiful.
When you walk directly on the oil patch, it adheres to your shoes and stays with you for a long long time. or at least till you hit carpet that gets in the grooves of your shoes. Those lines in parking lots that normally are clean and fresh. A good place to trek.
Have to agree with you about growing things Adam. The last time my thumb turned green (And black & blue) was about 3 days after I hit it with the hammer! But I can appreciate the care & effort that goes into growing something well.
You are seriously one of the most enjoyable folks on TH-cam! Started watching you later in your vlogs but it's all great my friend! If you're ever back in Pittsburgh, lots of great joints to check out for sure! Cheers brother!
I like your whistle soundtrack. Adam I'm glad you are doing well. As a long time follower I am happy to see that you have succeeded and have grown your channel so well. Keep going forward, and ignore the jealous cry babies.
I loved the time-lapse, was pretty cool. Safe travels for when you depart on Monday, and I look forward to watching your new adventures, wherever Large Marge may take you. Keep up the good work, mate. CTSG!
Enjoyed watching you're Vlog, I like having long walks myself walking to my city center from my flat, and it's about 3 miles from my flat to the city. But I enjoy doing it because you see things along the way.
it's really cool that u show us your home town..also I really want to get to Florida sometime in the future so it's cool to have all this little bits of info from your vlogs....morning adam!
Just a few things: the first item was a forge used to shape horseshoes, mainly and other shapes. The bellows products enough air to substantially increase the temperature to the eutectic point. The hook is for rangling hay bales ( which Harold pointed out, although it would make for a great torture device ;-)
we still have outhouses here...they can still be used. one here thats a two seater and one at our ranch that is double size, but two seats...we use them for garden storage but they are still very functional.
Hey Adam, just wanted to wish you the best on the next leg of your journey. Looking forward to seeing where the wind takes you! I just started watching your videos at the end of last year and man am I hooked! I don't know if you do meet and greets but If your ever in Cleveland would love to have a cold one with ya. Be safe out there my man!
Happy Earth Day Adam! Yup the majestic butterfly is indeed an insect :) I am a total bug nerd! My front yard is a certified Monarch Waystation by Monarch Watch. I raise them from eggs to caterpillars to butterflies. They are then released back into the wild. The Monarchs in the fall are tagged with my waystations number to help with data tracking for the migration season. There are a lot of us crazy bug nerds or citizen scientists out there helping to save the Monarch :)
growing up, my grandma had an outhouse for a long time, up till at least 1979, even though she had indoor plumbing. I loved using the outhouse as a little kid - she lived on a couple of acres of land and there weren't really any houses around, so... she and grandpa bought the house when it was all farmland.
Safe travels, dearie. Can't wait til your back running the roads among us truckers once again. It'll be...Majestic! 😆 Ooh, I really need my coffee this morning.
Hey Adam, at 8:09 that's a bale hook, easier to grab the handle on the hook and hook it into a hay bale for lifting when you're stacking bales. They are also used for just about any commodity that can be packaged into bales. Cotton, alfalfa, rag cloth, etc., you heard the term "use no hooks", that told dock workers not to use them because they would damage the baled product. Like animal hides, put a hook in a bale of those and you have holes in your leather resulting in loss, because who wants a hole in the toe of their new shoes. 8:17 that's your ice hook, actually, ice tongs.
My hometown is Fontana, CA and I still love it with all of my heart, even though I moved away when I was 18. I visit occasionally and think about the past. They've restored quite a bit. BTW, I'm on the road too and I'd love to run into you!!! I'm looking forward to any meetup you are planning!! Smooches!
a walk through the woods in florida looks a bit different than a walk through the woods here in wisconsin , very nice to see. have a great day everybody.
I thank you Adam for showing the natural beauty of Florida, the best part of Florida besides the wonderful people I have got to known since I've been in Florida in 1984...
The overhead pole in the blacksmith's shop was used to work the bellows. The smith would pull the free end of the pole down then release it to raise and lower the handle of the bellows. The air from the bellows would run through he pipe into the forge and would increase the heat of the fire. It saved the smith from having to run back and forth between the bellows and the forge every time he needed more heat and kept him close to the anvil where he was working the metal.
St. Cloud Minnesota! Adam, we have a place for Marge and our spare Corolla to borrow as well as a knowledge of some sweet filming locations that occurred in Minnesota! We live near St. Cloud Minnesota and think The Daily Woooooo needs to join us and smell the petunias
the ice pick is a hay bale claw, you use it to move a bale usually there two of them , but if strong enough you can move them, and can be used for other bales and if northern are used for ice blocks
That place reminds me of the Geico slasher movie commercial. "Why can't we just get in the running car?" "Are you crazy? Let's hide in the barn with all these dangerous farm implements!" Jason Voorhees would be... ;-)
That old barn/cannery reminded me of climbing a ladder in cades cove and coming face to face with a chicken snake at the top. And other old barns around where I grew up
Next time you are up in Indiana you should check out Spring Mill State Park in Mitchell, IN. During the weekends in summer they have a working pioneer village with a working corn mill and saw mill. They also have a blacksmith which is pretty cool to watch. Also there is a memorial to astronaut Gus Grissom at the entrance to the park as well, it's his hometown.
when i was young,back in the mid,early 60`s.i can remeber my great grandparents having an outhouse on their farm.they never had an flush towlet until they move into elderly housing.they use sears and robuck catalogs for towlet paper
The stick in the "smithy" is used to control the bellow to better control the forge heat. In the beginning of the first Pirates movie you can watch Orlando Bloom do it.
That thing you thought a horse would turn was a bellows. You pulled the log rod up and down by hand to pump the bellows which forced air into the forge and made the fire hotter.
I understand the hometown sentiment. I was born in OH, mived to GA when I was 4, so grew up there, you went throigh the town a couple months back, Cairo. Then we moved to TN when I was 17, tis where I met my hubz and lived there for 6yrs. We have in OH simce 03. So I have 3 places I consider hometowns.
3rd World Garage while I agree if Adam was on a regular TV show would it lose some of it's charm, I'd love Adam to have a film crew. Adam's filming and editing skills have come a long way, but Adam would be able to show more and do more if he didn't have to film himself.
What I understand about banana's, is they can only be harvest from a tree once. To get more banana's you have to plant more trees. That was a great walk. Chirp
Man, things were definitely kinda rough, before we had indoor rest room/toilets. Was such an interesting era to look back & learn from, at History's point of view.
We call the corn dog plant "cat tails" and they are pretty useful. Can use the "corndog" part for starting fires and you can eat the root. the stalk can be used when making a shelter.
I remember years ago some crazy kids would set them on fire on Halloween for kicks.
I really love the time lapse through town man that was epic and the ending at the market just awesome filming my friend
thanks Mark
Right on the mark
15 years and they throw me out like a old bag of moldy tangerines :) A line from Stanley Spadowski :)
Actually the "corn dog" plants as you call them.... are cattails.... they are a little known source of super food..... you eat them fried in a little butter or maybe olive oil..... you strip them down to the white inner core, and that is the part you cook and eat.

LadyDragonsblood it is the root of the cattail that you eat. kinda tastes like a potato.
Galen Long I know....but you have to strip it down first.
LadyDragonsbl We use to soak them in kerosene and use them as torches. They would burn for a long time.
Yep - in camp we learned to strip and grind them into flour and baked bread. It was OK - like most "nutritious" things, the flavor was nothing to write home about Why can't stuff that's good for you taste like candy or something? :-)
MrJest2 LOL... because if things good for you tasted good..... we would OVER eat them! At least that's how my mom explained it...LOL
Cool place Adam. I 'll be checking it out when I get to Florida during my extended roadtrip.
Its a nice relaxing place
I'm amazed that you have only 123k subscribers. With all the great places you go to around the country. Always have my morning WOO before I head out. Thank you Adam.
Adam, your vlogs are the most informative and entertaining around. Your humble approach to videography keeps me coming back for more.
Good morning Adam....long time viewer first time comment. The item in the blacksmiths? ...Belows.

George Harrison Is right Adam, no large farm animal needed
You still don't get Adam's feigned obtusity. (It's not easy getting newly-invented words past spell check.)
You are an inspiration, AtW - watching your blogs makes me wanna hit the open road and explore. Safe journeys to you!
lol these nights I enjoy. When I lay it down tonight I have about 4 AdamTheWoo vids to watch. Busy week. makes up for it especially when I work 7 days a week. appreciate it as always bro. be safe out there.
Its The Daily Woo
adam you should come to rochester new york its a pre3tty important place for anyone that makes youtube videos
I really enjoy your time-lapse effects in your videos and I am fascinated with the history of your home town as well.
Always a great way to start your day. TDW rocks!
TheDailyWoo big Adam ,small desk=priceless....safe travels buddy
Bellows to feed air to the fire.
Love old Florida! There's alot of history here. Thanks for showing how beautiful this state is.
Mr. Woo, the metal thing you saw in the area where they made horseshoes was a hay baler nit an ice pick, they would use it to pick up the bales. The long things you call corndog plants are called cat tails. Loved the vlog. Beautiful.

Great vlog!!!!

Excellent vlog as always, definitely off the beaten path, just the kind of places I enjoy. Enjoy your weekend with family before you hit the road.
It's not often I hear a 'My Girl' movie reference, but you Sir always have the good movie lines. Thanks for that Adam.
Interesting stuff today Adam. It's always nice to spend a few minutes with you every morning.
Another weekend of majestic videos Adam! Happy travels
Have to agree with you about growing things Adam. The last time my thumb turned green (And black & blue) was about 3 days after I hit it with the hammer! But I can appreciate the care & effort that goes into growing something well.
Adam, you are a natural documentary producer. G rated with a GREAT personality! Thanks so much for all your hard work dude.
You are seriously one of the most enjoyable folks on TH-cam! Started watching you later in your vlogs but it's all great my friend! If you're ever back in Pittsburgh, lots of great joints to check out for sure! Cheers brother!

That barn is so beautiful.

The best part of waking up; Coffee, chocolate milk, and The Woo!

Thanks as always Adam!!

You really have such a great 👍🏼 voice. Love the Woo!

Born and raised in Tallahassee. Thanks for the flick.
my daughter loves you and today is her 3rd bday. i can assure you once she wakes up, she'll ask to watch your video.
happy birthday !
TheDailyWoo Ill tell her you said happy bday. thank you!
very beautiful nature walk! Trish
The stick in the "smithy" is used to control the bellow to better control the forge heat. In the beginning of the first Pirates movie you can watch Orlando Bloom do it.
love the videos Adam!
I'm excited to see where the Woo takes us next.
Keep up the good work! And if you ever come to the Netherlands don't hesitate to contact me for tips or help!
Adam - That green 'Mountain Valley Mineral Water' bottle was from Hot Springs Arkansas! It's a small world after all! :)
Kinda disappointed there was no gigantic ice maker in the blacksmith shop.
Good morning Adam!
That thing you thought a horse would turn was a bellows. You pulled the log rod up and down by hand to pump the bellows which forced air into the forge and made the fire hotter.
Good day Sir!
Really enoy your videos Adam, your looking pretty sharp with the haircut and trim. I too look at the names in pavements
I understand the hometown sentiment. I was born in OH, mived to GA when I was 4, so grew up there, you went throigh the town a couple months back, Cairo.

Great video! I loved the Friday the 13th three barn reference!
Gloomy overcast cold day in Boston but I kinda felt the FLA sunshine & warmth in this one......
good video safe travels to you
There was even a squirrel on the wire at the end of the video. Perfectly Timed!
That bubbling pond needs a little sign, "Beware of alligator farts."
that brick structure that you didn't know what it was is an old-time Florida flow well
The signpost reminds me of the Mash TV series.
Adam also travels on the road again.
Awesome videos
Have you ever visited the Pioneer museum in Dade City Fl? It's in Pasco County. Middle of nowhere but a neat little set up!
Adam, thank you for your daily blogs. I love experiencing life with you. You have taught me so much. Any chance you might go to Key West?
Good morning Sarah
That is a Forge, and yes used for forming metal, more air more heat
VERY GOOD VIDEO .. ADAM !
High Adam you are a pretty funny guy thank you my brother for everything
Give this man is own tv show !
Xavier Sims TH-cam is the modern day television,so he does have his own show 😀
His 15 minutes are about up.
3rd World Garage while I agree if Adam was on a regular TV show would it lose some of it's charm, I'd love Adam to have a film crew. Adam's filming and editing skills have come a long way, but Adam would be able to show more and do more if he didn't have to film himself.
Xavier Sims he does what he wants and goes where he wants, being tied down by a corporate entity would ruin it
Skunk Ape was stalking you in the woods Adam!
What I understand about banana's, is they can only be harvest from a tree once. To get more banana's you have to plant more trees. That was a great walk. Chirp
