Your tone of voice is so pleasing to listen to and you have such a perfect way of explaining things .. So many of us, would love to have someone like you , take us around foraging for wild edibles, 🍄 mushroom and medicinal plants. Tk. You and may God bless you..
Awesome video. Deer and all the species in the deer family are super majestic and amazing animals. I love to learn about winter foraging because it's always winter here. Thanks for this video.
5:12 Gerund required. Failed to transform verb "rub" into noun "rubbin" by usin gerund. Minus 5 points. 5:58 You said rightly "hikin" trail rather than "hike" trail. Why not do the same with "rub" and "jaunt"? Why do it so inconsistently and wrongly when you have shown the capability of doin it rightly?
Thanks for the video! I am a strong believer that everyone should know some easy to identify edible plants, just in case they find themselves in a survival situation. There have been too many cases of people starving to death in the wilderness - they're bodies found surrounded by edible plants.
You're very welcome James! I'm a firm believer in the thought that the most important piece of kit or tool you could have is knowledge. Thanks for commenting!
that garlic mustard looks very similiar to coltsfoot except the outer part of the leaves on coltsfoot is pointy not rounded just something i noticed another wonderful video, thankyou!
Oh my the poor deer. We have so many in our side field they watch me take out the recyclables or go for my walk in the wee hours of the morning and they don't even bother to run anymore. I get really nervous sometimes thinking they're going to charge me lol
The entire Onion is edible, I tend to eat the bulbs diced up and the shoots, the transition point between the bulb and leaves tends to be a little tough for my taste.
Thanks! Garlic mustard is the best. I completed my first tincture last week from yarrow picked this summer. It was very easy to do. I used a potato ricer to press it. Your videos are really helpful. Also I am opting out of the give-away as I want it to go to someone who doesn't have a book and beginner supplies. :) It is wonderful that you are doing it.
You're welcome Tanya! I love Garlic Mustard as well, it's so delicious and easy to gather. It's good you are learning a lot from my videos, and it's really cool you've made your first tincture! It's a fun process that is an invaluable skill. That's really cool of you to be open about that, I appreciate that...a lot! Thank you very much for commenting.
Thanku for sharing. Also, can you talk about horehound plant? It's used in candies. I saw a video that used horehound candies for diy coup syrup. Thanku
You're welcome! I would love to talk about Horehound, once I find some where I'm at. I generally find other mints, but you never know! Thanks for commenting!
Yes! Garlic Mustard is a highly invasive plant and kills off Native plants around it. It's best to pull them up by the root before the plant goes to seed because each plant contains thousands of seeds. If yours have already gone to seed then it's a good idea to put a plastic bag over the top (where the seeds are) to enclose them in and then pull the plant. This will keep most of the seeds from spreading. Hope this helps some and thanks for asking!
Nice job! Enjoying your videos. Are you also on Instagram? I'm starting to post "weeds" that I'm attempting to identify. Some I'll probably have to wait until spring when they flower but it's definitely fun learning and getting insight from others.
Thank you I'm glad you liked it! No I'm not on instagram, sry. It is best to learn plants by their flowers, however the flowering season is short so getting the identification in time can be tricky. After a quick look at your instagram the plant pictured here: instagram.com/p/BOkaGgtlnzJ/?taken-by=bluegrassbound_homestead with the large fuzzy leaves growing in a basal rosette pattern is Mullein. Later in the year it will shoot up a tall thick stalk with a cluster of yellow flowers. I have done some videos on using this plant on my channel if you're interested. The one pictured after it is best to be identified in the spring as there are a couple plants that look similar and without a full set of features it can be tricky to pinpoint a plant. Thankfully spring isn't far away! Hope this helps.
Winter is a season not a set of specific weather conditions. And here in Indiana winter will have snow, ice, rain, wind, and temps ranging from -20 to 60 f.
That's a very valid concern for many people. My suggestion is to choose a few plants that are easy to identify; plants like dandelion, garlic mustard, wild onions, stinging nettle or wood nettle, wood Sorrel, white pine needles, and clovers. From there you can build upon your knowledge and get more comfortable learning the ins and outs of plant identification. Plant identification is easiest with a well detailed guide that has color photographs. Or you could also use the many identification videos on my channel to discern what you're looking at. Finally I must stress to never put anything in your mouth that you can't identify, though it seems you already stick to that which is very smart!

Also there is plenty of wild lettuce and dandelion around, depending on the weather and sometimes nettles.. :)

Seriously? This is one of the most ridiculous comments I've ever had.

Yes they do look similar to each other. Thank you for pointing out those differences cmvb69!
I’m in Minnesota. Do I need to dig through the snow to find these?😀
The dead stick at 3:35 I believe is an asparagus plant, it's not completely dead so you should leave it be till the summer starts
Love the info
Very interesting and informative about how we can actually feed ourselves
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I love wood sorrel as well, but the incredibly sour taste took some getting used to
I can see that if one doesn't like sour flavors because it's pretty potent!
Oh my the poor deer. We have so many in our side field they watch me take out the recyclables or go for my walk in the wee hours of the morning and they don't even bother to run anymore. I get really nervous sometimes thinking they're going to charge me lol
Can one also consume the bulb of the onion grass?
The entire Onion is edible, I tend to eat the bulbs diced up and the shoots, the transition point between the bulb and leaves tends to be a little tough for my taste.
Yes you can, they are better in the spring as the bulbs are much bigger
Awesome! Thanks man
You're welcome!

Should I get rid of my garlic mustard I have a ton in my woods?

Trillium: Wild Edibles thank you so much ...✌🏻
Trillium: Wild Edibles I love your videos ❤️

Josh woodland sunflower is edible try one
I don't really consider this winter if there isn't snow on the ground and if you're in Canada, then there would be snow on the ground by Dec 30.
Winter is a season not a set of specific weather conditions. And here in Indiana winter will have snow, ice, rain, wind, and temps ranging from -20 to 60 f.
Lambs quarters is really delicious
Yes it is, one of my favorite wild edibles. Thanks for commenting Susileedean!
very confusing.. it says winter but there is no snow.
Really? Winter is a time of year. Not a specific type of weather.
Medicinal huh? I know bout those
I’m afraid to pick you the wrong thing
