I've never seen anything like this. So cool. Especially the fire sticks. Here in Iowa I thought you had to rub 2 sticks together for hours just for your arms to wear out first and eventually be eaten by wolves or ants. That's how the boy scouts do it I think.
Hahahahaha yeah it's true if you don't select the right kind of sticks you would be there for hours lol fortunately for us the grass tree spike is a great wood for fire starting and as u can see its super fast to heat up and can get your fire going with very minimal effort at all. Thanks for watching and for the laugh lol I appreciate you watching cheers 🍻
Cheers mate appreciate it this is literally 20 meters from my front door we are super blessed to live where we do that's for sure. I hope u definitely get the chance to also.
I have black boys in my area and have used the stalks for a variety of things but wasn't aware that you could eat the base of the leaves. Thanks for the video, Hooper
Good video Hoops - had no idea about the grass trees. I take it you're in WA? I've hiked a few sections of the Bibbulmun track, and have wondered if there would be anything edible growing in the hills. Might try some next time I am out that way. Can you pull them straight out of the trunk of the tree, or does it have to be out of the ground on the small ones?
Hey there bud yeah I'm from over in w.a. where r u from. the larger ones would be too old and the smaller baby ones have the white flesh from beneath the ground that's the edible bit however i would only take a few strands from 1 plant and move onto another as to not kill the plant. Xanthoria plants are protected plants but in a survival situation they can be a good bush tucker
Sure can we use pine resin to make firelighters with as it's super flammable. The resin from our xanthoria trees is what the aboriginal people use to use to make there glue pitch mixed with kangaroo dung and wood ash it's pretty clever I rekon
My bush brother I really appreciate the knowledge that you are teaching it's awesome... But I'm pretty sure that the Aboriginal people didn't utilise bow and arrows.
yes sorry thats right your correct my bad. it seems very strange that they were not known to have developed bows as a means to hunting, but rather would stick with using the spear but i guess why change if the method you are using works so well. im happy u like my videos and appreciate the awsome feedback

You can also get resin from dead trees
