Like a little kid in a lolly shop!!! 👏👏👏The plant knowledge is great and the extreme excitement at all the spotting is so relatable 😊 Thank you for respecting the beauties in their natural environment 🙏
Jesùs Cristo this was such a fantastic video brother! It’s always such a damn treat to see these species in the wild! As a fellow biophile, I appreciate the love and respect you show for all these incredible species lol. I’ve definitely smooched a few “inermis” cacti in my lifetime 🤣 Thanks for taking the time out of your busy ass life to bring us along for the ride! Cheers homes!
I grew up in San Luis Potosi totally emmersed in this beauty. Even as a kid I was fascinated with these plants and ecosystems. Seeing these here really made me miss home. These were my stomping grounds. The fruit from these plants were an absolute joy. Especially the pitayas, garambullos and alicochis. I was hoping to see you talk on the San Luis Potosi pitayo species a bit but MAN... i LOVED this video! Btw, "Coahuila" sounds more like Qua-Whee-lah when it rolls off the tongue of a native speaker. Definitely looking forward to more Mexico videos! 🥰👍💪
Look up ☝️☝️that handle, she’s got the best tips and helps. I’ve microdosed shrooms for about 6 months now and it has really helped my anxiety and depression and I’ll recommend it for anyone
hello! the name is Leuchtenbergia principis. wonderful, species-rich landscape! I envy you for this trip. this is how I imagine paradise. nice video. thanks for that.
I used to take Peyote with Indians in Oklahoma and Arizona 30 years ago. It's really cool to see in its natural environment. I had fresh tops and grew them to. I also made all the paraphernalia used in the ceremony. Lighter sticks and other things as well. Cary in Tucson.
Whoaaaaa I am speechless. Thank you for taking us with you. My admiration on different species of cactus has gone crazy. Those Ferocactus are amazing. Wow wow wow
Ayer descubrí tu canal y me he suscrito de inmediato. Me encantó este video reportaje x la naturaleza, nunca he visto un amante de las plantas hacer videos al natural recorriendo los hábitats de las plantas. Muy buen video amigo, me encantó tu sentido del humor besando cacyus ! Jaja👍👍👏👏😉😉

I like the video. I cannot visit cacti location in person, but it still nice to see you interact with them. Turbinicarpus taxonomy is quite crazy. At some point Gymnocactus and Turbinicarpus had been merged into a new genus - Rapicactus. Later on Rapicactus had been reversed into Turbinicarpus, while keeping all of its species. Then Turbinicarpus has been split once again, this time into Turbinicarpus, which includes all Turbinicarpus and couple of Gymnocactus and into Rapicactus, which contains those species of Gymnocactus that were not included into Turbinicarpus. Recently there was an attempt to split Turbinicarpus into Turbinicarpus and Kadenicarpus. According to the actual species name, the one on the video is called Rapicactus beguinii, but the most commonly used name is still it's original - Gymnocactus beguinii.
Yeah I was reading about that but for simplicity’s sake I just made the call. Taxonomy is a nebulous cloud of ever shifting names and categories. At some point you have to just enjoy the plants and pick a name I suppose haha.
Man that was a amazing trip love to so all those plants in Habitat, that manfreda I think is manfreda Brunnea thanks for posting this video I admire your passion 🤙
A lot of cactus videos, but not many shown growing in their environment. Thanks so much for sharing these beautiful plants. I just ordered some Ariocarpus seeds. It is weird how my home country Australia is so barren, yet no cactus plants.
True. - the vast majority of the continent is desert. But you guys do have the Australian boabab tree which is pretty cool and amazing animals as well.
Man your videos are great, Hunter. I've been binging them for the past few weeks and you've gotten me heavily into cacti and succulents now (aroids are my jam). Thank you and keep it up, mate! Pete from Australia
Incredible tour of an incredible landscape, diversity of plant species was amazing, had never heard of cryptobiotic soil relationships, had to look it up and that's another fascinating aspect, perhaps going forward you could give the annual rainfalls and temperature ranges of the places you are touring
Fantastic video 😊. That ferocactus near the end was incredible. I really need to get to Mexico 🤔. I'm hooked on your channel now 😉. Keep up the great work
Hunter, there is an amazing microcosm just outside of Teotihuacan, within walking distance of the Village of San Sebastian. If you ever end up in the area, Vickis is a phenomenal plant/ecosystem tour guide.
So when you purchase astrophytum inermis, are those actually just young plants that will eventually grow spines? Like the Nudum ones don’t I imagine but do most of the others?
Sad to say we had to leave that tender soul there. We fed him a few granola bars and gave him his fill of water. Loved on him and hung for a while but couldn’t bring him. It’s a hard life for a dog like him. He approached us in the middle of nowhere really. Miles always from a town
@@CactusQuest You had to leave him there??? Call a rescue at least! Why not bringing him to a town? That was very cruel and far from empathy. Shameful!! How could he survive there by himself?????????? He is a needy sentient being, you were his only opportunity to survive that environment and you ignored that dark future for him ahead. And you love nature? Really??? How, with what heart you do that to a poor sentient animal in need? So painful, sad and cruel. Do not forget that God doesn’t make garbage… If we do not help when we are needed we are diminishing the value of our blessings literally. We are not being Thankful for our every day gifts. Gratitude could only be celebrated with love to all sentient beings. Unconditionally. Or it is not love. Love is just one with different manifestations. But it most be manifested all the time and even more when are needed or it is not love. It’s a painful way to abandon a page that I thought was a good one and compromised with Life. Extremely sorry for that.
God, I have discovered your channel one day and realize that you came to Coahuila where I live and have gone to Zacatecas where my mother lives is crazy. It is very difficult to understand this passion that some of us have for cacti. You need to visit Viesca, Coahuila, a very unique sanctuary of lopos, a place that leaves everyone amazed. Greetings from Torreon, Coahuila.
Wow, fantastic trip, thanks for sharing and taking us along! Always fantastic to see our cacti & other plants in their natural habitats! How bad is poaching and illegal collecting of cacti in the area?
Look up ☝️☝️that handle, she’s got the best tips and helps. I’ve microdosed shrooms for about 6 months now and it has really helped my anxiety and depression and I’ll recommend it for anyone.
Out of the 15 or so sites across 4 states I only saw fresh signs of poaching at one spot. Didn’t appear widespread but when you look at the amount of poached plants online in peoples collections that tells another story. I just saw it at one site. But that’s not to say I haven’t seen it here in California with our native agave
This was great! Amazing to see cacti in their natural environments, growing old and perfectly in nature. It's a good reminder to look down when you're walking. Did you put down the puppy and walk away, or did you drop it off somewhere?
Sadly we had to leave that little fellas there. Fed him and have him water - loved on him and that was that. We couldn’t bring him on the plane or back across the border
do you revive anything with iv drip of water??? like waling among flipped dying turtles and not helping. nature may not have the capacity to intervene. but we have and also anihalate

got any recommendation of literature describing the differences between lophophora fricii , williamsii , koehresii? im trying to catalogue an old peyote garden that belongs to my parents in southern az. thanx in advance
God it’s hard to say. I imagine 30-50 years old or maybe even more with some of the fissuratus they grow so slow in cultivation and that’s with ideal water and food they only get what they get in the desert and in drought years may not grow at all. So I imagine them being quite old indeed.
I can't believe the difference between native cacti in habitat (in the desert) and store purchased only-cultivation raised plants. I thought it marvelous that you point out those things because I refuse to buy a plant that looks like it's been treated like shit, for two reasons. One, it could have actually been treated like shit or worse, it could've been trafficked into some greeder loser's garden. ❤❤❤❤ grateful to see you respecting this. The desert is so much more interesting than my imagination had pictured. Thank you for sharing your desert gallivanting. Keep spreading awareness❤❤❤
Ive seen a few videos of legal yote growers and a few say they prefer a more natural 'stressed & scarred' look for their cacti and raise them as such; generally in large pots left outdoors. Valid concerns tho. 🤷♂️
@Andre_The_Drek well, when it comes to THAT cactus, I know very little. I thought itnamazong how much they depressed when no rains for a while. It was like a little dry mud bowl, but the unmistakable green still there showed they live. Cool stuff.
First lopho in habitat! 🎉🎉🎉🍞🍞🍞
I seriously was so excited I couldn’t remember anything
It'd so amazing to me how those cactus can not only live but thrive in those environments. Great video!
Thrive? They are near extinction in the wild.
Just as it is amazing that a fish needs to be in the sea to thrive.

i could spend all day at the L. fricii habitat as well. that's some adorable habitat.
I grew up in San Luis Potosi totally emmersed in this beauty. Even as a kid I was fascinated with these plants and ecosystems. Seeing these here really made me miss home.

I was watching a fireworks festival in San Luis Potosi and I was like "oh, that's where the lophophora williamsii variety comes from!"
These are such amazing, resilient plants! Great video Hunter. Thank you for sharing your cool adventures with us. 👍

Thank you so much Hunter, i enjoyed the whole video it's like i was walking with you guys eyes shining and open through these beautiful habitats
Thank you for sharing. This is amazing. Hopefully, someday I'll have a chance to check out the cacti in the wild to get the in-person experience.
Thank you 🙏for such a great video, I love all the species you show !
habitat coahuilense .. lord bless this man, haha thanks for the amazing video
You make my rambling so much more rewarding in more temperate climes in Cumbria.
thank you thank you and thank you again!!

I would KILL for those beautiful peyote cacti. Omg they’re beautiful, and not to mention worth a fortune. I’ll own one. One day. I live in Georgia
Plant some seeds. Obsessing over these mature plants will only see you buy a poached one.
Awesome!
Great phrasing

So when you purchase astrophytum inermis, are those actually just young plants that will eventually grow spines? Like the Nudum ones don’t I imagine but do most of the others?
Lophs are so beautiful. It is amazing how many there are in cultivation now days.
I agree on both points. It’ll be nice when they are fully decriminalized so we can bring them to the shows
Epic show!!!! Keep em coming. But what happened to the puppy?🤔
Sad to say we had to leave that tender soul there. We fed him a few granola bars and gave him his fill of water. Loved on him and hung for a while but couldn’t bring him. It’s a hard life for a dog like him. He approached us in the middle of nowhere really. Miles always from a town
