He is my go to guy. Glad I found him first. I feel very confident making choices based on his knowledge. He has proven himself with me. I always look to verify what he says and he is always spot on. Originally found him when beginning to learn about mushrooms. Now he is a foraging resource as well.
Yeah, it was great, but only if you're prepping for a botany exam. How much of it will you remember tomorrow? Think you or the average person, after watching this video, can identify the plants the next time you go for a walk in the woods ?
@@1973Saved Yes, I have identified the wild garlic multiple times when hiking. I did not know of the other two but will be looking for them when I go hiking the next time. I am always interested in finding anything edible when hiking and I am not a botanist.
My boy scout troop used to camp once a year at a farmer's timber. We would only take a stick of butter and a cast iron skillet. We would forage for our food. We had a fresh water spring coming out the side of a hill, we usually went in May when the morels were in season. The hill above the spring would have these wild onions growing on the side of the hill. We used to mix the morels with the wild onions with any fish we caught in the stream. We added watercress with wood sorrel as a side dish. Thank you for remind me of my youth.

Learn Your Land : Hi Adam, I live in Northern Ontario Canada and in my back yard I found what was wood nettles, but I am not sure anymore. It has the same characteristics as wood nettles and stinging nettles but seem to differ as well. Let me explain; the trunk of the plant is hairy but does not seem to hurt much as you break it. From the middle trunk there are some shoots that grows alternately with hair on them as well. On the shoots there are 5 leaves (kind of like this one 🌿 but only 5 leaves at the top of each shoots , 2 pairs of leaves that are facing each other and one at the end). The leaves are hairy underneath, mostly on the veines of the leaves and smooth on top. The undersides of the leaves are greenish grey and the tops are darker green. The leaves are serrated on the edges but much less then the one you show, they have a fine serration all around but their shape are an elongated oval with a pointed end something kind of like this 🍃. Sorry I am limited with icons. They grow in a kind of shadowy part of the yard near a wooded area. I have been looking for stinging nettles or wooded nettles and I was kind of exited to find those. There are many plants growing at the same place. However the more research I do the more I think that I am maybe mistaken. Can you help me identify what I am describing please? I know that without a picture it is difficult but if you think you have a name I can look it up and compare it to what I have. Thank you so much for what you do, I have learned a lot with your videos. May the Lord bless you and yours.
Adam, if the grid ever goes down, im coming over to your house and i know ill never go hungry. Wish i knew as much as you about wild edibles. Thanks for all you do to educate us.
If the grid goes down the gun fanatic pretend patriots will terrorize citizens and murder anyone with food. I'd rather be dead. There's a mushroom for that.
The more you eat around where you live the faster the plants will start teaching you ... you have your own house. Y/our own land. Don't be lazy... if the grid goes down how many thousands of lazy people like you are going to turn up at Adams house?... lazy people will go hungry... don't wait till the grid goes down. Don't be stupid as well as lazy! Apply the education he is giving you where you are, & pass it on to others - plant a nettle patch... get on with it.
I'm a life long student appreciating an outstanding teacher! Thank you for sharing so much with us! These videos are more Important than ever right now!
Thank you! I’m in Pennsylvania too and I never knew Dames Rocket was edible, let alone medicinal. I’ll be looking for it when it comes out this spring.
It's a strong taste. Needs a few tries to get used to it and come to like it... cooking mollified the pungency. Same with horseradish root. Can eat much more of it if you cook it!
YOU MADE ME RE-LIVE EATING ALL THOSE WILD GREENS, AND GARLIC COOKED IN FAT, WITH FRIED APPLES ON THE SIDE, HA HA, GROWING UP, THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES MANY PRAYERS/BLESSINGS!

Adam, You have a special gift. Your presentation and demeanor is pleasant and soothing. You are obviously college trained with your knowledge of each plant species. I have been hunting wild edibles almost all of my life with the help of my elders when I was young to expanding my knowledge on my own as an adult. I cant speak Latin very well and I sound like a Neanderthal when I try so I don't put those big fancy names in my videos, But, I have a serious passion for learning wild edibles. Almost an obsession. LOL.. I am always looking to expand my knowledge and I find your channel great. Anyway,, I would like to make a couple requests. Because I am not college trained and self taught, I am extremely thorough with my research before putting any plant into my mouth because I know how dangerous misidentifying a plant can be. Although I use my field guides religiously, I find watching videos of a plant Im interested in is much better than a picture because I find that most times, there are characteristics in each plant that for some reason doesn't find its way into a guide. With that said, my requests are, would you please give some close up live video while talking about these edibles and also name the most common look-alike associated with the plant you are presenting. I think most novists and beginners don't realize just how hard it can be to 110% safely identify a certain plant or mushroom and should be aware of any look-alikes there may be. thank you and keep up the great work. Also, you look better with short hair. LOL
I studied ecology/forestry in the early 70's. I have been an amateur naturalist since then. I would be very interested in Adam's education and background. His knowledge just in characterization of plants seems as a sufficient basis for a Phd candidate.
@Tim Stephens I really hope he is self educated and not limited to what little is tought in the supposed educational systems of today. The greatest lesson/gift you can bestowe on someone is the ability to think and learn on ones own. NOT A PHD. Dont be a sheep.
@@timstephens3554 I don't know any experienced naturalists with a degree beyond maybe paul stamets. A curriculum would skim over too much of the practical knowledge to ever be able to walk into the woods and get a full idea of what you're looking at. School will teach you basic cell biology, and phonetics, but not load your brain with facts like an excyclopedia, adam haritan style. For example, I took a 2 year carpentry course in college, unfortunately, and after 4 months in class we finally moved beyond the theory of hand tools, and different kinds of nails (I now know twisty nails are called ardox, woooo!!! master carpenter right here), and into how to put a blade onto a circular saw. 25% of the way through and we hadn't even built anything. As far as building code, and things people would expect to learn in school, math, and business skills, you don't get into that nearly as much as they should, and when its touched on, it's only touched on gently. I learned more from 1 month in the field before ever starting school. And I'd imagine it would be similar with Adam. I don't think he learned all this from sitting in a classroom. The only way I could see him actually retaining all this knowledge is if he learned hands on, on a case by case basis, based on his own intuition, without someone telling him to learn it..
Years ago, my husband was invited to our daughter's classroom to give a talk on edible "weeds". He shared that our family gathered and ate nettles, milk thistle leaves, cress, etc. It wasn't until recently that our daughter told us of the mean teasing she experienced after that talk, that our family was so poor, we had to eat weeds!
I am in my 60s & remember the same treatment from classmates way back then . It was usually the "townies/city kids" that were the meanest but the county kids would join in so nobody would know their families did the same ". We were healthy & very seldom sick , never went hungry . It seems that since we have become so I industrialized & 98% of all people get their food from gro stores they have become meaner. Children are so mean regardless of which generation they come from . Your daughter was a strong child at the time to survive that meaness for so many yrs w/o telling you . She is lucky to have you as parents to teach her these things . She will get by much better than the kids that teased her because you are her parents .
Sad but typical. I gave friends who would rather go to the shops and buy foods that are potentially sprayed with pesticides than pick weeds! They will even help me gather things like blackberries but not eat them🤦♂️They drive me mad! But more for us forages i guess! 🤷♀️
@@elaineedwards8946 I have a friend that lives not far from me & he has been with me picking black berries , sand plums & the like . He now watches for them to see when they start ripening . He came by a few days ago & I was getting some lambs quarters for a salad & he even was open minded enough to try them . Makes ya feel good when someone else is willing to try .
I hope she soon learned to gently laugh at ignorant people. They don't know what they don't know, ha Blessings for teaching it too, that's sacrificial giving
He makes it all so clear, and understandable! You get the best of both worlds, I want the science info and the everyday speech breakdown lol his way of doing this is unrivaled! xoxoxoxo
South Korean we eat heavily wild garlic early spring as a side dish, we can find Korean supermarket time to time early spring, I picked them up every spring I just had them my husband ate it because of its good for gut cleansing Korean side dish: soy sauce, cayenne pepper, vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, it is a very strong chive / onion taste that is why it is good for a gut cleansing
I know nothing about foraging but when my youngest daughter was little, out playing by the stream behind our house, she noticed that some of the plants looked like the green onions I'd buy at the store and put into salad. So she harvested some and made me wash and chop them and serve them for dinner. They tasted stronger than the store bought but we were fine eating them!
I use them as chives. What's weird is they grow throughout the winter, snow and all, and die off in the summer. They always come back though and spread a little.
Ok I'm just going to say I want pics with info bullets... It's way too much knowledge to get this. You need to just come help me find and pick this stuff.. But I'm liking the knowledge. thanks
@@johndifrancisco3642 it is not weird it is what they do... they ensure weiiii have delicious ash roast able bulbs and fresh greens in deep winter and vitality stuffed flowers and seeds in the deep spring... nettle tops, bramble nuts and roast wild garlic bulbs... a reliable seasonal feast of deliciousness... add some sheep or goat milk and never go to a shopping mall again! Not weird. Sensible... designed by evolution who grew humanity out of nothing...
just stopped at my mom's and saw the butter crest growing right by her driveway! Grabbed a sprig and it was delicious! My 3 year old loves it so much they went to find more! Thanks for sharing what's in your brain!
Why would you want to be alive in an apocalypse? All the gun yahoos will dominate the country until they've murdered everything in sight. I'd rather be dead and There's a mushroom 🍄 for that.
The youtube algorithm loaded a few of your vids on my queue. And for that I am grateful! Very knowledgeable and great presentation....I have subscribed.
I don’t think I saw so many positive comments on the other channels. Maybe is the energy of the plants connecting awesome people. Thank you for shearing your gift.
It absolutely is exactly as you say. Plants love Adam because... plants are people too and he knows that... they have chosen to build him as he is... weiiii are a planet of symbionts... most other channels are.... human centred in some way... Adam is plant centred... planet centred... I can watch his videos over and over and over. They unfold new each viewing... they are so rich and subtle and deep and they leave us wide open with curiosity to know more and more... Weiii rush into the nearest woods so that weiiii can add the light and sound and fresh air and scents and crunches underfoot and feel with our fingers and breathe in deep... He is bringing us back to life...
My goodness, you're an encyclopedia! I have developed a very strong interest in wild edibles over the last years, but I'm still extremely reluctant to try some of them because of the insecurity I feel. I know that they are the path towards health because all of the food that we are buying is poisoned, but of course the air and water and soil are poisoned too these days!
I am patiently waiting for nettle to pop up for that medicinal and tasty homemade tea i love to make... Thank you for your knowledge it's much appreciated
These species are also in Oregon, in the Willamette Valley. I especially love Dames Rocket! The first time I met this plant, it was at a mushroom patch in a city alley, amongst hazel trees.
Incredible presentation, always enjoy your videos! Living in mid Sweden is a bit boring when it comes to edibles, there are some out there, but pretty rough overall. It's just so satisfying knowing a few edible things when you're walking around, it gives a whole new dimension to the seasons!
I just stumbled upon your channel last night...I have to commend you. I can't get enough of your videos! And so happy to see someone teaching in my general area. (I live in Trumbull Co, Ohio near the PA border). Thank you for these videos! I've been looking for A LONG time for a knowledgeable naturalist in my area, and I must say, you are the best I've seen in TH-cam yet.
Keep looking for a really local local Adam and find them by being an outfront forager in your local area... pedestrian... within walking distance is local... you're are aiming to forage and guerrilla garden and map your locality bounded by your daily walks... near the border is not local...
EXCELLENT VIDEO...........AS USUAL! Thank you so much for sharing your extensive knowledge with us!! You are so easy to understand and I feel like I'm back in school, watching your videos!!
Awesome Adam!! The wild garlic was my first wild herb when I was wee lad!!! I was thinking of bringing the family to 2018 Flora&Fungi hike it's a 1hour and 30mins from me!
Awesome! Brilliant video. You're so knowledgeable...hope I can remember! Thanks so much. Like other's stated below..you deserve a show of your own Adam. Happy Summer to you!
what kind of jacket ya got on? Awesome video as usual. your a wise dude. I harvested some shaggy mane shrooms today thanks to your inspiration. The flavor was one of a kind. I ate them alone fried in organic ghee with pink salt. God bless you brother. You are opening minds.
Noodles Alfredo with stir fried fresh Shaggy Manes and smoked trout for flavoring. At least a $50 side dish at a 5 star hotel. I forage so I can eat nirvana daily for the cost of paying attention.
Over in NE PA, Susquehanna County, we have got hit with some serious snow and there is more on the way, I have heard. Right now, the only bare ground is part of my gravel driveway. You must be enjoying the warmth, there Adam. I am trying to establish a perennial fruit and vegetable garden in my yard. Wild edibles are part of that. Thanks. Joe
You are the smartest person I've found on TH-cam seriously you should put together a field guide to wild edibles of Pennsylvania I would be first in line to buy several of them and keep 1 and give some for gifts
I read the comments to see if anyone would call them "Ramps"! When I was a kid back in WV, they had "Ramp Festivals". Everyone shared their ramp dishes and we all had bad breath together! :-)
Ahhh Dames Rocket! Never knew this.....love this plant...so abundant here in the Northern Catskills! Thanks mate! Appreciate your zeal for our woods!!!!
hi Adam. I live out by Philadelphia but almost every year me and my wife travel two outside of Pittsburgh for the Mother Earth News Fair. Do you go to that event as well? It's a great event it's huge. it's at the Seven Springs Resort.
Hey Bart, I actually haven't been to a Mother Earth News Fair even though it's fairly close to where I live. It always seems to coincide with another event I'm attending or leading, though hopefully one of these years I'll be there!
You gave me the confidence to finally start foraging. I live in Appalachia (NE GA) your knowledge and delivery is what I needed to jumpstart my foraging frolicking. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us. Follow me to the forest and let's get lost y'all 🍀🌱🍄☘️
Perhaps Adam is wiser than you mister... who would it be great for? For you to swank about your superior stance? You go into the fields and forests and let a stranger give you a strange mushroom... Mr. Wise Guy... The truly wise are not careless of other souls like you are.
I love the absolute joy that comes across your face when presenting facts on edible plants. It makes your videos so fun to watch. I also live in Western Pennsylvania, so your videos are particularly apt. I knew about Allium, but the other two were unknown as edibles to me, despite growing right across the street. Thanks so much for posting!
Delicious! With every Learn Your Land video i watch i feel more at ease with nature, and my belly gets fuller with every advance in knowledge Adam provides. Many thanks as always
I agree.. feeling at ease with nature is the gift... weiiii eat wild free foods and directly experience her generosity and vitality and ancient harmony... weiiii relax into joy... no wonder Adam has such a wide smile...
Hi Adam, I haven't seen you in a good minute, so happy you popped up. I've been watching for years and still your teachings are wonderful, helpful and very important. Thank you
IMHO: Perhaps, when collecting Allium vineale, "bulbs", One could slice off the root ends, an poke them back into the soil, where they might then continue to grow again, for future harvests! Even though it may be an "alien", it might be valuable enough to not totally eradicate from One's property.
Subscribed... I fed my Children the wild garlic during a survival outing...when we had ramen...due to a sad fishing week in MT. They are delicious chopped up and added to ramen. Warms up the body as well...when you get an unexpected overnight spring snow . 😎🇺🇸✅
great way to prepare these mustard greens is as a pickled preserve to be added to a meal at any time in the future. think of it as a slavic salsa that you can add anything to: celery, bittercress, peppers, tomatoes, onions... the juice will be an elixir
Because mainstream tv is there to dumb you down and pacify you, fatten you up. This guys too educational and might inspire people to buy less Monsanto Kroger kemicals
Thank you for the suggestions. I think I will try to find some of these in my yard. The last one you showed is in my yard and the forest I sometimes walk in. When I eat them I feel a spring in my step. I want to use them in my recipes.
Timothy Norat Right?!?! Even in my youth , when my brain was at its best, I wasn’t able to memorize this much information! Thank goodness those that are able share their knowledge in video format!
he must have a degree in botany and/or biochemistry or some such. would like to know what and where he studied, but you can't beat just natural enthusiasm like this it makes learning a pleasure
Holy crap! You did early year Dame’s rocket! I LOVE Dame’s rocket when they’re in their small rosette stage! They have a slight hotness to them that I love. Great video as always!
We just finished off a quart of mixed beans & lentils with about an ounce of chopped wild onion tops. Delish! They grow wild all year round (depending on the sun exposure) in our lawn & gardens.
Amazing howAdam has encased so much complex knowledge, then passes it on so fluidly and understandable. There are many thousands of people who you reach and inspire Adam. Thank you so Very much! God bless! 🌱🌲🍄❤️
Yes!! That’s amazing, I live in Philadelphia and am a gardener who started foraging in my own garden.Overgrown areas don’t look the same to me anymore,they look like a farmer’s markets 😆boy do I love 💕 free!
I am fortunate enough to live in southwestern Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh where you make your videos. So I know these plants are near me. I’m going foraging. Thank you for sharing you. You have a great wisdom with plants and your presentation is impeccable. Thanks again. 🌱
I love to pick and pop into my mouth dandelion flower heads; yummy! Going to make a nice tender leaf dandelion and spinach salad with some of the fresh flowers on top.
Do you know of anyone who produces a similar informative service as yours more closely located to the Midwest? I live in southern Missouri and love learning from your videos but would like to learn more about the land nearer to my habitat.
Google Lens has been working for me a lot more lately ID plants, trees, etc.. It's right on your phone or desktop now in the search field right next to the microphone. Looks like a camera. I take photos of the leaves (underside, too), bark, buds, flour, fruit...whatever is available...and scan them through.
This guy is the most knowledgeable person on plants I've ever come across . His presentation is excellent and so concise ,
I’ve heard there’s A look alike wild garlic that is bad for you .😊
I’d like to know.
Totally. He is one of the first person I found on mushrooms, fungus and foraging.

Right?! He's amazing! 👍

Been eating weeds for sixty years no seventy years just love this program
Adam is the ultimate advertisement for wild eating - he looks incredibly healthy and his in depth knowledge is awesome.
To me, wild eating is when you don't use cutlery or plates at the table. 😄
Have you ever done a field guide book with all your knowledge? I’d buy it for sure dude!
Me too - I love these videos.
So would i
I would buy it!
You need to get some land and start a school.
Same!

For example, I took a 2 year carpentry course in college, unfortunately, and after 4 months in class we finally moved beyond the theory of hand tools, and different kinds of nails (I now know twisty nails are called ardox, woooo!!! master carpenter right here), and into how to put a blade onto a circular saw. 25% of the way through and we hadn't even built anything. As far as building code, and things people would expect to learn in school, math, and business skills, you don't get into that nearly as much as they should, and when its touched on, it's only touched on gently. I learned more from 1 month in the field before ever starting school. And I'd imagine it would be similar with Adam. I don't think he learned all this from sitting in a classroom. The only way I could see him actually retaining all this knowledge is if he learned hands on, on a case by case basis, based on his own intuition, without someone telling him to learn it..
Years ago, my husband was invited to our daughter's classroom to give a talk on edible "weeds". He shared that our family gathered and ate nettles, milk thistle leaves, cress, etc. It wasn't until recently that our daughter told us of the mean teasing she experienced after that talk, that our family was so poor, we had to eat weeds!
How VERRRRRRRY SICK THOSE CHILDREN WHO TEASED YOU DAUGHTER……WHAT GOES AROUND WILLLLLLLL COME AROUND. I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am in my 60s & remember the same treatment from classmates way back then . It was usually the "townies/city kids" that were the meanest but the county kids would join in so nobody would know their families did the same ". We were healthy & very seldom sick , never went hungry . It seems that since we have become so I industrialized & 98% of all people get their food from gro stores they have become meaner. Children are so mean regardless of which generation they come from . Your daughter was a strong child at the time to survive that meaness for so many yrs w/o telling you . She is lucky to have you as parents to teach her these things . She will get by much better than the kids that teased her because you are her parents .
Sad but typical. I gave friends who would rather go to the shops and buy foods that are potentially sprayed with pesticides than pick weeds! They will even help me gather things like blackberries but not eat them🤦♂️They drive me mad! But more for us forages i guess! 🤷♀️
@@elaineedwards8946 I have a friend that lives not far from me & he has been with me picking black berries , sand plums & the like . He now watches for them to see when they start ripening . He came by a few days ago & I was getting some lambs quarters for a salad & he even was open minded enough to try them . Makes ya feel good when someone else is willing to try .
I hope she soon learned to gently laugh at ignorant people. They don't know what they don't know, ha Blessings for teaching it too, that's sacrificial giving
Very impressed with his depth of knowledge. High marks for effective communication.
Thanks, Tim!
So, are you in a PHD program? You must have started with at least a BS in Botany.
He makes it all so clear, and understandable! You get the best of both worlds, I want the science info and the everyday speech breakdown lol his way of doing this is unrivaled! xoxoxoxo
South Korean we eat heavily wild garlic early spring as a side dish, we can find Korean supermarket time to time early spring, I picked them up every spring I just had them my husband ate it because of its good for gut cleansing
Korean side dish: soy sauce, cayenne pepper, vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, it is a very strong chive / onion taste that is why it is good for a gut cleansing
I know nothing about foraging but when my youngest daughter was little, out playing by the stream behind our house, she noticed that some of the plants looked like the green onions I'd buy at the store and put into salad. So she harvested some and made me wash and chop them and serve them for dinner. They tasted stronger than the store bought but we were fine eating them!
I use them as chives. What's weird is they grow throughout the winter, snow and all, and die off in the summer. They always come back though and spread a little.
Ok I'm just going to say I want pics with info bullets... It's way too much knowledge to get this. You need to just come help me find and pick this stuff.. But I'm liking the knowledge. thanks
Oh you tube archives
Its wild garlic and highly nutritious!! Your girl has gift,,herbal healer !!!
@@johndifrancisco3642 it is not weird it is what they do... they ensure weiiii have delicious ash roast able bulbs and fresh greens in deep winter and vitality stuffed flowers and seeds in the deep spring... nettle tops, bramble nuts and roast wild garlic bulbs... a reliable seasonal feast of deliciousness... add some sheep or goat milk and never go to a shopping mall again!
Not weird. Sensible... designed by evolution who grew humanity out of nothing...
just stopped at my mom's and saw the butter crest growing right by her driveway! Grabbed a sprig and it was delicious! My 3 year old loves it so much they went to find more! Thanks for sharing what's in your brain!
What a smart guy. I want him on my team in the apocalypse.
Why would you want to be alive in an apocalypse? All the gun yahoos will dominate the country until they've murdered everything in sight. I'd rather be dead and There's a mushroom 🍄 for that.
He is you twit! Are you practising what he is preaching?
This is like my favorite channel now. :)
The youtube algorithm loaded a few of your vids on my queue. And for that I am grateful! Very knowledgeable and great presentation....I have subscribed.
Awesome, thanks!
wild garlic! My favorite! So much flavor in a small package.
Agreed!
I found wild garlic on my second foray ever, soo exciting. Packed up some to bring home and was seasoning dishes all week
I don’t think I saw so many positive comments on the other channels. Maybe is the energy of the plants connecting awesome people.
Thank you for shearing your gift.
It absolutely is exactly as you say. Plants love Adam because... plants are people too and he knows that... they have chosen to build him as he is... weiiii are a planet of symbionts...
most other channels are.... human centred in some way... Adam is plant centred... planet centred... I can watch his videos over and over and over. They unfold new each viewing... they are so rich and subtle and deep and they leave us wide open with curiosity to know more and more...
Weiii rush into the nearest woods so that weiiii can add the light and sound and fresh air and scents and crunches underfoot and feel with our fingers and breathe in deep...
He is bringing us back to life...
My goodness, you're an encyclopedia!
I have developed a very strong interest in wild edibles over the last years, but I'm still extremely reluctant to try some of them because of the insecurity I feel.
I know that they are the path towards health because all of the food that we are buying is poisoned, but of course the air and water and soil are poisoned too these days!
Thank you for all the information!
If you ever pass by Portugal I can show you my edible/medicinal plant sanctuary 😂
4:04 "Trail side nibble" I've been looking for a way to express that idea. Thanks!
They can also be gathered to add to a fresh chimichurri recipe.
I am patiently waiting for nettle to pop up for that medicinal and tasty homemade tea i love to make... Thank you for your knowledge it's much appreciated
You’re awesome man. I’m lucky to have stumbled upon your channel. This is what I’ve been looking for.
These species are also in Oregon, in the Willamette Valley. I especially love Dames Rocket! The first time I met this plant, it was at a mushroom patch in a city alley, amongst hazel trees.
Love your videos. Best on TH-cam on the topic. Keep up the good work. Much love from Washington State! 🤘👍✌️😀
Thanks Eric!
Just found this channel and I’m so interested in learning some of these plants and being able to use them myself.
Incredible presentation, always enjoy your videos! Living in mid Sweden is a bit boring when it comes to edibles, there are some out there, but pretty rough overall. It's just so satisfying knowing a few edible things when you're walking around, it gives a whole new dimension to the seasons!
Thanks for watching!
I've literally never foraged and don't know how I found your channel but your videos are great. I can tell you're a wholesome boi. Blessed be.
you're awesome! thanks man, love your consciousness
Thank you!
You're the best. So full of knowledge and just an all a round good guy. The world needs more of you. ❤️ Really appreciate your videos.
Be more of Adam yourself in your own locality... he is very infectious!
As always you are the man Adam, thank you so much for all of your efforts!
Thanks for watching, Todd!
I just stumbled upon your channel last night...I have to commend you. I can't get enough of your videos! And so happy to see someone teaching in my general area. (I live in Trumbull Co, Ohio near the PA border). Thank you for these videos! I've been looking for A LONG time for a knowledgeable naturalist in my area, and I must say, you are the best I've seen in TH-cam yet.
Keep looking for a really local local Adam and find them by being an outfront forager in your local area... pedestrian... within walking distance is local... you're are aiming to forage and guerrilla garden and map your locality bounded by your daily walks... near the border is not local...
Your information is awesome, and I really appreciate being able to learn so much with just a click of a video. Thank you!
EXCELLENT VIDEO...........AS USUAL! Thank you so much for sharing your extensive knowledge with us!! You are so easy to understand and I feel like I'm back in school, watching your videos!!
Hey from MD. You should do meetups. I would drive up to PA to explore to woods with you. Thanks for your videos.
The Watcher yeah and with a picture like yours, I’m sure he would want to rush right out and meet up with you in the middle of nowhere.
Dude...... you know SO much about plants!
I feel like there's no way I could learn 10% of what you know
Awesome Adam!! The wild garlic was my first wild herb when I was wee lad!!! I was thinking of bringing the family to 2018 Flora&Fungi hike it's a 1hour and 30mins from me!
Don't just think about it! Do it!
Thank you Adam for sharing such significant body of knowledge.
Love your passion. One of my best follows.
Thanks Ken! Glad you're enjoying the videos.
Awesome! Brilliant video. You're so knowledgeable...hope I can remember! Thanks so much. Like other's stated below..you deserve a show of your own Adam. Happy Summer to you!
Watch them over and over and over er... you will remember more than he tells you!
what kind of jacket ya got on? Awesome video as usual. your a wise dude. I harvested some shaggy mane shrooms today thanks to your inspiration. The flavor was one of a kind. I ate them alone fried in organic ghee with pink salt. God bless you brother. You are opening minds.
Thanks! And the jacket is a Carhartt Cryder.
Noodles Alfredo with stir fried fresh Shaggy Manes and smoked trout for flavoring. At least a $50 side dish at a 5 star hotel. I forage so I can eat nirvana daily for the cost of paying attention.
@@timstephens3554 spot on bro thats the best way!
Fascinating. All learn your land videos are fascinating. Thanks
Over in NE PA, Susquehanna County, we have got hit with some serious snow and there is more on the way, I have heard. Right now, the only bare ground is part of my gravel driveway. You must be enjoying the warmth, there Adam. I am trying to establish a perennial fruit and vegetable garden in my yard. Wild edibles are part of that. Thanks. Joe
We're supposed to get some of that snow tonight!
I was born in Bradford Pennsylvania i lived on a road called Susquehanna.. I'm stuck in Arkansas now I'm in a living hell..
I really appreciate this speaker. I've been foraging since I was 17. Now 62 and still learning.
Thanks!
Ah yes 17 that's a good age
This is your gift! You are a great teacher!! Thank you.
This vid came across my feed and made me think. This is the guy l want in my post Zombie Apocalypse survival group.
What are you saying? Words matter
You are the smartest person I've found on TH-cam seriously you should put together a field guide to wild edibles of Pennsylvania I would be first in line to buy several of them and keep 1 and give some for gifts
Thanks for the kind words, Richie!
Another amazing and helpful video! #learnyourland
Thanks!
One of the most informative channels on TH-cam.
Thank you Laurie!
I can't wait to hunt ramps this spring
oh yes and fiddle heads soon.
I read the comments to see if anyone would call them "Ramps"! When I was a kid back in WV, they had "Ramp Festivals". Everyone shared their ramp dishes and we all had bad breath together! :-)
Ahhh Dames Rocket! Never knew this.....love this plant...so abundant here in the Northern Catskills! Thanks mate! Appreciate your zeal for our woods!!!!
hi Adam. I live out by Philadelphia but almost every year me and my wife travel two outside of Pittsburgh for the Mother Earth News Fair. Do you go to that event as well? It's a great event it's huge. it's at the Seven Springs Resort.
Hey Bart, I actually haven't been to a Mother Earth News Fair even though it's fairly close to where I live. It always seems to coincide with another event I'm attending or leading, though hopefully one of these years I'll be there!
You gave me the confidence to finally start foraging. I live in Appalachia (NE GA) your knowledge and delivery is what I needed to jumpstart my foraging frolicking. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us. Follow me to the forest and let's get lost y'all 🍀🌱🍄☘️
Every time I watch one of your videos I am just so glad you exist :-) I dig the way you pass on your knowledge, friend. Thank you!
Break down and do a video on psilocybes in the area. You do not have to tell people to eat them or pick them. But describing them would be great.
Ricky Chase I could see that now my man would be out in the middle of a cow pasture at 4 a.m. Whispering hahaha
Ricky Chase you should just learn the ones the grow in your area. shroomery.org and mushroomobserver.com will help you. look up ovoids
Do your own research 😜if you can 😊
Perhaps Adam is wiser than you mister... who would it be great for? For you to swank about your superior stance?
You go into the fields and forests and let a stranger give you a strange mushroom... Mr. Wise Guy...
The truly wise are not careless of other souls like you are.
best video ever. love how yiu explain each planet in detail as well as how to cook and consume them... Shout out from Indiana
I have not eaten any of the Brassica yet. Looking forward to it. I have eaten many of the wild garlic/onions though.
I love the absolute joy that comes across your face when presenting facts on edible plants. It makes your videos so fun to watch. I also live in Western Pennsylvania, so your videos are particularly apt. I knew about Allium, but the other two were unknown as edibles to me, despite growing right across the street. Thanks so much for posting!
Good video Adam
Thanks for watching!
You are the best! Always such a pleasure to watch, and always informative.
Delicious! With every Learn Your Land video i watch i feel more at ease with nature, and my belly gets fuller with every advance in knowledge Adam provides. Many thanks as always
I agree.. feeling at ease with nature is the gift... weiiii eat wild free foods and directly experience her generosity and vitality and ancient harmony... weiiii relax into joy... no wonder Adam has such a wide smile...
Hi Adam, I haven't seen you in a good minute, so happy you popped up. I've been watching for years and still your teachings are wonderful, helpful and very important. Thank you
IMHO: Perhaps, when collecting Allium vineale, "bulbs", One could slice off the root ends, an poke them back into the soil, where they might then continue to grow again, for future harvests! Even though it may be an "alien", it might be valuable enough to not totally eradicate from One's property.

I fed my Children the wild garlic during a survival outing...when we had ramen...due to a sad fishing week in MT. They are delicious chopped up and added to ramen. Warms up the body as well...when you get an unexpected overnight spring snow . 😎🇺🇸✅
great way to prepare these mustard greens is as a pickled preserve to be added to a meal at any time in the future. think of it as a slavic salsa that you can add anything to: celery, bittercress, peppers, tomatoes, onions... the juice will be an elixir
You couldn't be more professional, personable and knowledgeable if you tried. Why are you not on mainstream TV???!!!! Talent scouts, come look here.
Because mainstream tv is there to dumb you down and pacify you, fatten you up. This guys too educational and might inspire people to buy less Monsanto Kroger kemicals
Thank you for the suggestions. I think I will try to find some of these in my yard. The last one you showed is in my yard and the forest I sometimes walk in. When I eat them I feel a spring in my step. I want to use them in my recipes.
Are you reading cue cards? How do you memorize words like "isothiazalanone"
Timothy Norat
Right?!?! Even in my youth , when my brain was at its best, I wasn’t able to memorize this much information!
Thank goodness those that are able share their knowledge in video format!
he must have a degree in botany and/or biochemistry or some such. would like to know what and where he studied, but you can't beat just natural enthusiasm like this it makes learning a pleasure
I love this guy, so knowledgable and articulate. 👍👍👍 Awesome stuff!
Wealth of natural knowledge. Too awesome being able to forage, thats what made some people thrive during the depression.
You should work whith a chef and open a 'green' restaurant.
Holy crap! You did early year Dame’s rocket! I LOVE Dame’s rocket when they’re in their small rosette stage! They have a slight hotness to them that I love. Great video as always!
Good information and he's good looking. Do a show you're photogenic
I love this program. What a beam of light in a dismal world.
You are an encyclopedia of knowledge. I really enjoy your videos, Adam.
That last one mentioned is a favorite. Cut small, with a sizzor on some fried eggs on toast, it's real tasty. We called the plant, chives.
We just finished off a quart of mixed beans & lentils with about an ounce of chopped wild onion tops. Delish! They grow wild all year round (depending on the sun exposure) in our lawn & gardens.
I leave araund Burbsnk Ca and i Picked up Crest , Rocket , mallow, checkweed, wild radish , wild letuce, nettles and more last week
Well I'm going good shopping in my front yard this weekend! Thanks Adam.
Thank you Adam, I learn something useful from you in every video. You help me enjoy our farm even more.
I love your videos. They are so informative and give so many details that are important.
Your the best I've ever heard!!! So natural !! Blessings brother.
Amazing howAdam has encased so much complex knowledge, then passes it on so fluidly and understandable. There are many thousands of people who you reach and inspire Adam. Thank you so Very much! God bless! 🌱🌲🍄❤️
Ditto
Yes!! That’s amazing, I live in Philadelphia and am a gardener who started foraging in my own garden.Overgrown areas don’t look the same to me anymore,they look like a farmer’s markets 😆boy do I love 💕 free!
You are so enjoyable to watch and listen to. And informative!
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying the videos!
I'm 5 miles away from Pennsylvania on the Ny/PA border. We have all of these 🙂
I am fortunate enough to live in southwestern Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh where you make your videos. So I know these plants are near me. I’m going foraging. Thank you for sharing you. You have a great wisdom with plants and your presentation is impeccable. Thanks again. 🌱
This is the BEST site I've come across in a while. Thank you for expertise.
I love to pick and pop into my mouth dandelion flower heads; yummy!
Going to make a nice tender leaf dandelion and spinach salad with some of the fresh flowers on top.
Do you know of anyone who produces a similar informative service as yours more closely located to the Midwest? I live in southern Missouri and love learning from your videos but would like to learn more about the land nearer to my habitat.
Google Lens has been working for me a lot more lately ID plants, trees, etc.. It's right on your phone or desktop now in the search field right next to the microphone. Looks like a camera. I take photos of the leaves (underside, too), bark, buds, flour, fruit...whatever is available...and scan them through.
