Your the only video that discusses the 3 types of wild garlic. Well done
I and my daugther an my wife , went last weekend to the forrest,
we picked up wild garlic(german Bärlauch).
I put it on Pizza and in dumplings !
Greetings from Germany !
You left out that keeps vampires away too. Haha
Garlic is a natural pesticide, I wonder if that's where the keeping vampires away tale comes from
content like this, and the creators, big and small, make this channel what it is. A start of a beautiful relationship. Thank you Nick & family
You're very quickly becoming one of my favourite bushcraft content creators, Nick. Looking forward to learning from your future videos & when the world hopefully returns to normal, it would be fantastic to learn from you in person.
Man cannot live by Ramsons alone, but this man wouldn't wish to live without it. Thanks for the content.
Later on, the flowers and stems are a more delicate and fine-looking addition to a salad.
Super interesting and useful video - thank you!!
We eat loads every year. Awsome stuff and great information.
This is an incredible video!!! Thanks for sharing. Simply the best Bushcraft channel on TH-cam!!
I only found out about this stuff last week. I have an abundance down my road near the river. I feel like I’ve found a pot of gold.
Another brilliant video 👍
Thanks for sharing this video, great knowledge and tips very much appreciated thanks
Another awesome video 👍👍
I'm 74 and I still remember going out with my parents, grand parents, aunt's and uncles and gathering all manner of wild foods. Now we would be called subsistence farmers. Over half our food came from the land, wild.
@@hiddenvalleybushcraft5683 back then we just called it living I was just after world war II we lived in the country, didn't have electricity till I was eight or nine, running water a year later and never did have indoor plumbing till I moved into the city. I lived in the country in Missouri USA a lot of people lived that way. Most didn't get as much off the land as we did but my mom was an old Arkansas girl she liked doing that stuff and my grandfather had been born in 1885 so he carried some of it along to the next generations.
Love the content fella, can't wait to lay my hands on that knife.
@@hiddenvalleybushcraft5683 do you mean your keeping the lower serial numbered ones? Or is the one I've ordered a low serial number! How's it doing got a progress report for me handsome!
@@hiddenvalleybushcraft5683 class might try him out a few times but keep him in fairly good order
yet again a top presentation
THANK YOU NICK FOR YOUR TIME AND I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND LEARNING A GREAT DEAL YOU ARE APPRECIATED GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR FAMILY...🙏🤜🤛
Great videos mate, thourghly enjoying them. Thank you.
Brilliant, another great video. Thanks.
Nice one, been using and even growing this for years. Good chopped into a marinade for Chicken too... and in salad dressings.
I feel hungry now, must go...
Outstanding video!
I just found your channel. Fantastic!
Found your channel through the Mentors for Military podcast, absolutely amazing story and crazy life but as you said in the show and showing now, everything turns out good in the end. You're a massive inspiration for currently joining the Royal Marines, quality content too. Keep it up :)
Very cool! I wonder if it grows in the central coast range of Oregon?? I'll have to research it. Thanks for sharing 🤠
Absolutely love your channel Nick, thank you.
Invaluable education!
You’re the man!!
This is amazing! Thank you, thank you, thank you 💕
Please keep going. I spend a lot of time in the woods, this info is so informative and useful…
Your adorable little tiny person at the end, must be a 'Garlic Sausage' then!
Fab and helpful as ever. The woodland I have a permission on is awash with the stuff! Along with a wonderful and spectacular show of Bluebells again this year...although much later blooming due to the flippin' cold weather! I am also fortunate in having Deer and Pheasant when in season.....yum.
Keep em' coming!
@@hiddenvalleybushcraft5683
Yes, it really is and I am very fortunate indeed. It is a massive life giving force which after a tough week of teaching, recharges my batteries! Thank You for the reply. Stay safe.
Fantastic! So informative and just what I've been looking for as I've noticed tons of wild garlic (East Coast Scotland) but I wanted to be as sure as possible...think the smell is the biggest giveaway. I've smelt it for years in its coastal location but was never sure if anything could be done with it. I now know how to go about collecting a handful of leaves from several patches and look forward to enjoying the properties in wild garlic throughout the year (once I've frozen some butter, made some pesto etc). Thanks again for great, clear content!
Thank you
When I lived in Spain I would eat garlic with every meal, kept the mosquitos away. I would put chopped raw garlic in salads worked a treat.
Further the way from people the better.
I eat it raw as well and have had no issues.
More cracking content Nick. Did you learn your botany over time through chef work etc or is it all “new” since heading fully down the outdoors route?
In some patches they grow with bluebells? and snowdrops. The leaves on those three can look very similar when they're younger/smaller. It gets harder to tell as your hands get covered in garlic smell before they have flowered. I try to do the plant spotting before I've touched much and if there's even a small doubt, come back another time with a reference book and rubber gloves.
That's such a good point. Our local wild garlic is indeed in a location where there are swathes of bluebells. Luckily for me, the wild garlic is easily identifiable by the flower stems/shoots starting to appear this Spring.
Why do you usually wear merino wool as a base layer when the UK is damp and wet so often? Other than odour control, wouldn't a much faster drying base layer be better? Thank you for taking the time to answer 😊
First comment, yay .... don't eat too much of that wild garlic, it makes you feel odd.
I speak from experience 😄
The Queen's residence on the IOW in the summer also has an abundance of wild garlic, just don't get caught
If I take some by cutting like in video does it grow back?
Thanks
Edit Now watched all of video. 👍
Hello, great video. Where could I start exploring ransom, I am in London and wondered where my closest location would be? Thank you,
Great info, sadly I can't eat anything in the allium family so they're out. Allium triquetrum is an invasive species, I doubt anyone would complain if you picked it in the wild, it's illegal to allow it to grow there.
Young leaves are best.
Hi, silly question, but what can you use instead of a knife? Don’t wanna go down my local park with a knife!🤣
Ha! I thought the same! I'm using a tiny pair of craft/kitchen scissors - the ones with plastic handles.
My nan always used to say you will smell it befor you see it
Just recently I've came across your channel, very informative content. I think we all have an inner bond with nature. A sub and like from me, thank you.
Hi 🙂 Thank you for answering my question about merino base layers 😊 I have an idea for you. Can you please make a 72 hr survival challenge under the kind of conditions a lost or injured hiker/hunter would typically find themselves in. Nearly every survival/bushcraft channel that does such a challenge does it in such an unrealistic and, pardon the expression, fake way that it makes me wonder if the whole "survival" industry is just a big scam to trick the naive out of their money (as well as giving them dangerously false confidence). For example, most lost or injured hikers/hunters would do their best to find their way back to safety at least until dusk sets in (or often pushing on well into the night). Even though they are aware that this is not what survival textbooks generally advise. However, most survival channel "challenges" start their scenario early in the day which gives them a lot of time to prepare for the long cold night ahead. These "survival experts" are also almost always in a very convenient location close to a lot of dry firewood as well as a water source in reasonably favourable weather conditions for the time of year and location. This is laughably unrealistic. Most survival situations are the exact opposite. In fact, unexpectedly and unseasonably bad weather is often a leading cause for survival situations coming about in the first place. As is hypothermia and dehydration which both contribute to poor decision making. Then, at the first crack of dawn, these content creators announce success at surviving! As if a SAR team had immediately found them bright and early in the morning... in the middle of nowhere, having not sent out a satellite distress call or even having made effective ground to air signals (other than having a single camp fire and a whistle). This is extremely unlikely. Statistically, it will take 72 hours once SAR teams get boots on the ground in numbers (often just starting in the morning) before 90% of these hikers are found. The other 10% that are found will take even longer than 72 hrs to find. So, I think if you actually make a realistic video it can get you a lot of views and new subscribers because no one else has done a 72 hr realistic survival scenario that I've seen yet. What do you think?
@@hiddenvalleybushcraft5683 Great! When can we expect to see it? 🙂
@@roseivory8496 not for at least a year from the time of your question I’d say 😂
@@sgoredraw1455 Lol ☺
Wild garlic in my area looks like tall common grass
Sorry, I have a question... you spoke about the green parts of the garlic, so is taking the wild bulb(like the shop one) considered illegal in UK?
Presumably you eat the garlic raw to get a really good "garlic sweat" on?
Would you know any foods to avoid to keep bugs away too? For example I eat a lot of bananas and maybe that makes me sweet meat for the creepy crawlies.
There's a comment from @someguy above who mentions eating lots of garlic whilst living in Spain to keep the mozzies away. I used to work beside a woman married to a Spaniard and she'd say the same - garlic in everything!
Did some reading and it turns out In Poland wild garlic is under partial protection. You can only forage it in few regions and you have to get permission from the government first, and leave at least 75% be.
you didn't talk about Bleybells as a lookalike
Can you eat the root ?
Can I take this home and add it to spag bol lol
What time of year does Wild Garlic first start growing in UK? in the SE.
now april
Good vid. but a dislike from dracula :)
"so oniony" ... isn't the smell garlic-like ????? :/
I disagree, I thing a dog will add to the flavour of ramsons, just not in a good way. 🤣
