Stinging Nettle may look like a mint plant, with squarish stems and opposite pairs of serrated leaves. However, it is not in the mint family and has no mint - like odor. The dried leaves make a good hot tea and the young plants, less than a foot tall, are excellent boiled like spinach with salt, pepper, butter and bacon bits added. The dried stems from late fall and winter also make a decent cordage.
Thank you so much for this video man it's clear you put a lot of effort into it and it really shows, such a well made concise and informative video, really just excellent content
Love this video. A quick note, stinging nettle is very nutritious and worth the prick or picking using gloves. Steam it a bit and the stingers lay down, enjoy!
Found that very informative. I was raised in western Wyoming and currently in eastern Wyoming. I’m definitely going to research more. Thank you for sharing
Sting nettle does make good tea and is highly nutritious. Would love some more description and close ups of the plants. The first three I haven't ever heard of, but will do more research. Nice video
Very informative! Thank you. Applicable to Colorado also. If you do another video, I wouldn’t mind if you were more descriptive when munching on the flora. Would be interesting to know if things are bitter or sweet etc. We want to live and taste vicariously through you on your hike:). Great video though, thank you!
That last plant looks like death camas. Can’t you show a better description of it :) I live in monanta about 25 minutes from the Wyoming line. I know I can look it up but your so close and watching videos for me is more educational then reading!
Great picks for spring eating! Those are some of my favorites in Utah too. Ballhead waterleaf roots are good eating, but they need to be boiled about 20 minutes.
I desire, possibly even crave, this knowledge I'd give almost anything to know all the food as well as other uses for the plants of North east Texas. I could go out and find a hand full of eatable plants like dandelion or wild asparagus but I'd love to really make full use of the bounty nature's garden provides
Very informative, but in future videos like this, could you do longer close up shots of the plants?
I totally agree.
He actually didnt do close up shots at all haha
Really cool video. You are interesting and upbeat. Thanks for sharing!
This is one the most helpful videos I've seen so far.
Nice! You can also pick the strawberry leaves and mint and make a nice tea.
Excellent!
Thank. You..I do wish you’d given longer closer looks before snacking but still…it was awesome thank you!
I like how passionate he is. Very enjoyable to see someone who enjoys what they're doing. Really seeps through the screen

What a fabulous resource!! I am in Jackson. Any chance for tutoring?
Could you make a fall time edibles video for the same area?
Its in the works, already shot the material this fall, just have to edit it, mostly delicious berries and such, stay tuned
@@backcountrysportsandnature2684 awesome! Can't wait! Thank you
Show the plants.
Have you come across a seed that would make a loud popping sound when add to water, look like a brown rice in it shell? They grow on the end strick.
Can't belief that plant from terraria dessert came to our world.
I was once tearing into some delicious raspberries, and must have eaten a poisonous spider. Bad couple of days.
Avalance!!!
Sure, eats what's growing alongside the trails. My dog uninates there along with every other hiker. Good choice.
Get a macro lens and get closer. You cant properly identify any edibles visually in this video. Good talking and video shots.
Need better close ups
You lost me when you ate the dirt...
Can't see the plants well at all. Kind of the point.....yikes.
Not gonna eat them huh just gonna collect them for a soup 🤣 that was slick
I wouldn’t eat that slimy crap either
People kill me with umm sound like it tastes good lol nobody likes the taste of leaves and roots
