Melanie is a goldmine of knowledge with native plants and their uses. It was fascinating listening and watching her teach. I just wish there were more closeups on some of the plants she was discussing! Overall, thank you all for sharing this with us. I never realized there are so many plants around us you can use to stay alive. Great video!😊
It is 5 am here in Ontario Canada and , unable to sleep have spent this wonderful time with two amazing people teaching me the most interesting things I knew nothing about. Thank you Melanie and dear brother Peter Kelly.
This video is so informative and so very interesting! I knew that Melanie was an expert forager, but it’s AMAZING to me that she didn’t even have to eat her supply of pemmican during the 43 days of living in the woods! I learned many new things from this excellent video! Thank you and Melanie!😃👍
WOW ! And Peter takes us away to another great location. Sir, she was fantastic, it's so easy to tune in and watch your friends and you discuss the many different historical things that make up our past. Again, she was full of knowledge about the outdoors. Thanks Peter.
Thank You Peter for introducing us to Melanie Sawyer she's like "the Mother Nature of Foraging" great insight and her enthusiasm for Living History and Foraging is contagious I'm definitely checking out her website
Great video. I've eaten some of the items shown. Burdock stems are like asparagus if picked early. And multiple mushrooms. I planted Jerusalem artichoke. And have a huge patch. But have yet to try the tubers. She's another treasure trove of information. Thank you
Peter/Cathy; That was an excellent subject. Forraging has always been of interest to me, and Melanie is such a vibrant, enthusiastic presenter! I didn't want this episode to end. There is so much more knowledge I'm sure she could share with us. Best Regards my friends!
Nice to meet you Melanie and nice to see you again Brian. I never expected a vid like this nor on this / these - topics. What a surprise. Thx guys for doing this, filming it and sharing it with us
Wow she is such a fountain of wonderful wisdom and history. I have only recently become interested in the 18th century way of life. Right now I live in the Sonoran desert in Arizona. I am thinking of moving much farther north .
Heelloooo! Thank you! I do! It's in its baby stages but I'm making a rule to put at least one video a week up.. Peter encouraged me to do so..he and Kathy are awesome
Peter, Thanks for the Interview with Melanie Sawyer. I've learned something new on each and everyone of your video's. Keep up the amazing work and Be Safe!
The FIREWEED grows all over the moors and open land here in the UK. We call it. ROSEBAY WILLOW HERB , a beautifully couloured weed xxx found your programme riveting xxxx
Wonderful video I loved it. Your expertise in the plant world is admirable. I hope you continue to inspire people to learn more about the wonderful world of plants. Thank you for the mention from both Brenda and me. Stay safe out there Dave H
wow.. loved this episode so much!! i love to learn anything about the foods nature provides. By the way i use nettle dried out for fire starting, its a great and easy way to get your fire started even when the nettle is still fresh. Further more i love the historical aspect , the tales and myths. So much thanks for the contribution! Hope to see more like this. greetings from Holland!
It was pure enlightenment! I never thought that those stone grinders that are often found on stone age archaeology sites were not only cooking equipment, but also storage equipment to keep food safe from mice robbers
I needed a good 'space of time' for this one and what-a-dilly it was! Just WONDERFUL information and the filming was just lovely Empress Catherine...I thank you both for this vid. I hope that this AMAZING Melanie takes a liking to your Fort project and plans a stay with her soon-to-be hub. WHAT a team they would be to your; 'Fort Kelly' refuge! The knowledge and the beautiful vivacious character of Melanie are quite the combo. I luved hearing how she is a 'Foody'...as one may think, (as I do) that all 'yummy stuff' has to take a back seat to this way of life. I do take occasion here to shame you a bit Peter, for not liking porridge (LOL)! Look what it's done for Melanie = YIKES! This was simply RICH! "It isn't how you die. It's what you live for." (Daniel Boone) Health and blessings dear ones! :) Happy Mother's Day dear Catherine! P.S. Hope you foraged for some flowers Peter! LOL!
Peter i will have to say this one of best videos yet. I would love to come up when Melanie and her husband to be are there, i will help do all the cooking LOL 😁 You have those bunk beds in that block house? Cathy great job on this video. Be safe IIByrds
LOL I have subscribed to Melanie's TH-cam channel have watched all the videos on her time on Alone she seems to be one amazing person love meet her her husband to be may have make a trip up her way speaking of trip I have no idea when we would make it back up there to see you and Cathy???? You thought of doing a work party and get those palisade walls up? Be safe guy's.
Peter, when notification of this show came up I discounted it. But, this is a wonderful video I enjoyed it very much and will watch it again. Thank you
Great episode. Thanks! Lots of valuable foraging information there. My wife really wants to make some chaga tea now. We have lots of chaga around here. Flour from cambium looks like a really cool idea. My dog definitely knows about the food value of cambium as he's always making a great nuisance of himself by chewing on the birch firewood I'm trying to chop.
It is an absolutely wonderful place to explore. Awesome and interesting place for camping. There are so many hidden gems in this part of the world! Perfect footage video.. 👍👍
I like your videos and learned so much about history and the way the lived in those days. I watched Alone season 10 and was amazed that people where able to last as long as they did. Keep up the good work you do and thank you for doing it.
I learned so very much from her and how wonderful a person is she. Thank you both so much. I'll be wanting to learn more about editable nature and foraging. ❤❤❤
Great video, foraging for food. Inspirational what this lady has to share. Just goes to show you that we can learn from anyone if we take the time to listen. Keep your powder dry and thanks again for another video
"Adirondack" = "bark-eater" indeed. Grew up with the 'Daks as my backyard, and looking to relocate there now. What a special area.... nowhere else quite like it. From the cliffs and road noise, I'd guess the beginning sequence was from around Poke-O-Moonshine? I did peruse M****n H****w Road a few months ago, looking for your home/business, and couldn't quite figure where y'all were situated. Perhaps you prefer it that way! Maybe we'll cross paths in the future when I'm a local again... Already hip to the "Townsends" channel, this new-to-me channel seems to focus on similar content......I look forward to more.
Entertaining and informative. The Woodland Escape has become by far my favorite channel on TH-cam. Great work Peter and Cathy and kudos to Melanie for this outstanding segment.
34:52 I’ve read that Colts Foot leaves can be dried and burned and the ashes washed to harvest a small quantity of salt; which is a resource of perpetual interest to me, being far from the sea.
@ I’m a little vague on that, literature is conflicting, as some contend that colts foot is poisonous, some say that it is not, some say it produces actual sodium chloride salt, and some say it is ‘A salt’ (of which there are many) so I don’t know which to believe.
I learned about burdock root from playing the video game Red Dead Redemption 2. It's set in the late 19 century, but still is "somewhat" historically accurate.
You both are an absolute inspiration and treasure of knowledge! Really enjoyed this video! Interesting, what you called Rat Root loos just like what I know as Bitter Root. We used it as Singers to keep our mouths moist, it prevented sore throat while singing; but is also a Diuretic.
What a totally charming and knowledgeable lady. I've subscribed to her channel and look forward to learning more. Excellent as usual Peter, thank you 🏴
In Ste. Genevieve Missouri at a wedding, back home Wednesday. I’d love you guys to come for some fort building. I did have a few fellows lend a hand, but I’m back solo and it’s a wee be slow.
Well that would keep you alive but im really attached to a can opener and beef stew 😅 very interesting i would loke to try some of the old foods thanks for the education its fun
Peter you meet so many amazing people and you are ver knowledgeable yourself and one day you need to come to stones trace pioneer festival in Ligonier Indiana so we could meet 😊
Applied to a similar show years ago when I was very active with medevial reenactment and was told they were not interested in folks with such a background because knew to much about surviving in those situations and they wanted folks who would struggle more. Which I found funny.
Peter! I had a blast doing this and look forward to talking more with you at Kelly Station!! Thank you for this opportunity 👏👏👍
Excellent information, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I've subscribed to your channel. 🏴🇬🇧
We anxiously await your visit!!!
You were wonderful! Didn’t want this to end. So much knowledge to learn from the both of you
Yes was so awesome, i love learning more about wild editables n medicines , i fear wer gonna need them soon. Thank you both. God bless.
This was wonderful. I can't wait to share this with my children.
Melanie is a goldmine of knowledge with native plants and their uses. It was fascinating listening and watching her teach. I just wish there were more closeups on some of the plants she was discussing! Overall, thank you all for sharing this with us. I never realized there are so many plants around us you can use to stay alive. Great video!😊
So nice of you. Please check out her TH-cam channel, it is a treasure trove of information!
Such a wealth of knowledge - a true 'Woods Witch' - so glad she is educating all of us with her knowledge - and enthusiasm of the world around us!
One could spend weeks with Melanie and not scratch the surface of her knowledge.
Love Melanie's enthusiasm as an educator, and woods woman. Thank you Melanie, Peter, and Cathy
Rather infectious I’d say!
It is 5 am here in Ontario Canada and , unable to sleep have spent this wonderful time with two amazing people teaching me the most interesting things I knew nothing about. Thank you Melanie and dear brother Peter Kelly.
Pity about your sleepless night, Pat. We’re an hour behind you here on this beautiful Missouri morning.
This video is so informative and so very interesting! I knew that Melanie was an expert forager, but it’s AMAZING to me that she didn’t even have to eat her supply of pemmican during the 43 days of living in the woods! I learned many new things from this excellent video! Thank you and Melanie!😃👍
If I’m ever in a survival situation I hope that Melanie is close at hand.
Hellooo! In so glad yo enjoyed it!!

Well said, Davey.
Probably my favorite episode ever.. I wish more people would try the “old ways” so much knowledge was shared today. Thank you.
It was certainly one of our favorites as well.
Loved making this video series unfold and how it all ties in. 18th century technoloy and knowledge.
WOW ! And Peter takes us away to another great location. Sir, she was fantastic, it's so easy to tune in and watch your friends and you discuss the many different historical things that make up our past. Again, she was full of knowledge about the outdoors. Thanks Peter.

Most charming and interesting lady. I will try to find any and all episodes of Alone season 10 to follow her 43 day journey.
You should also check out her TH-cam channel.
Thank You Peter for introducing us to Melanie Sawyer she's like "the Mother Nature of Foraging" great insight and her enthusiasm for Living History and Foraging is contagious I'm definitely checking out her website
So nice of you, you’ll not be disappointed.
Great video. I've eaten some of the items shown. Burdock stems are like asparagus if picked early. And multiple mushrooms. I planted Jerusalem artichoke. And have a huge patch. But have yet to try the tubers. She's another treasure trove of information. Thank you
She is indeed and we thank you for your interest.
Well Peter, that was quite interesting and informative .. The world would be a better place with more women like Melanie.
It would indeed, she has a very infectious personality.
thank you kindly!
What a brilliant and most informative video. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the wonderfull presentation. Definitly need to meet with Melanie and Brian someday!
I’m sure they would find you as interesting at a fire as I do my friend.
Peter/Cathy;
That was an excellent subject. Forraging has always been of interest to me, and Melanie is such a vibrant, enthusiastic presenter! I didn't want this episode to end. There is so much more knowledge I'm sure she could share with us.
Best Regards my friends!
Thanks Robert. Cathy and I are down in Missouri right now.
Bushcraft at its finest!… ooo that reminds me I have Chaga in my pantry! She’s amazing! Great episode!
Try Chaga with mint as a different way to drink it other than adding it to coffee or by itself..it's very refreshing!
What a great episode!
Thank you.
Nice to meet you Melanie and nice to see you again Brian. I never expected a vid like this nor on this / these - topics. What a surprise. Thx guys for doing this, filming it and sharing it with us
Glad you enjoyed it!
I really enjoyed.this. I have a record of my maternal great-great grandmother's identifying foraged weeds and roots for medicinal purposes.
Wow, did she actually write down and record the plants, recipes and intended applications? If so you are indeed a lucky great-great granddaughter!
Wow she is such a fountain of wonderful wisdom and history. I have only recently become interested in the 18th century way of life. Right now I live in the Sonoran desert in Arizona. I am thinking of moving much farther north .
Always happy to have someone new in this fascinating hobby. Cheers
Ive been looking for books on edible plants and haven't known where to look until now!!! Thank you yet AGAIN Peter!!!
Happy to help!

I've heared that dried burdock leaf aswell as nettle will take a spark from flint & steel.
Excellent video, thanks Melanie.
I did not know that, Ed.
What a fun and edutaining video. Great guest, I really enjoy hearing from foragers especially those who are so enthusiastic about the skillset.
Thank you
Melanie’s enthusiasm flows over like a good pot of stew with her foraged food!
Fascinating subject. Melanie is a wealth of knowledge.

What a fascinating video. Melanie is an even more fascinating woman.The depth of her knowledge is quite obvious and very enviable.
She's amazing! Loved watching this..
Melanie certainly is a knowledgeable forager! Thanks for watching.
Excellent Peter!
Thank you.

That is awesome, thanks for your interest and support.
A very fascinating video! She is a very skilled woman and definitely enjoys what she does! Blessings.
We agree totally, we learned a lot.
Awesome pairing of knowledge
That is a flattering compliment, thank you.
Most excellent episode. You and Cathy be safe going to Justine and Ron's wedding. Have fun my friends.
We are in Missouri as I type. Got to ride a magnificent horse today to boot.
@@TheWoodlandEscape Sounds like a fantastic time.
I learned so very much from her and how wonderful a person is she. Thank you both so much. I'll be wanting to learn more about editable nature and foraging. ❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed Kelly. Happy Mother’s Day.
Loved this episode. Melanie is like a breath of fresh air
Indeed she is, thanks for watching.
Great video, foraging for food. Inspirational what this lady has to share. Just goes to show you that we can learn from anyone if we take the time to listen. Keep your powder dry and thanks again for another video
One could certain learn a lot from Melanie and her partner Brian and they truly love to share their knowledge. Watch yer top knot.
Fabulous! I wish I could spend a day with her learning about foraging.
You might need more than a day.
How wonderfully interesting. I learned so much. Thank you.
That makes me so happy to know you learnt !
You are so welcome!
What an education on foraging. Things I have never heard of before. Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
"Adirondack" = "bark-eater" indeed. Grew up with the 'Daks as my backyard, and looking to relocate there now. What a special area.... nowhere else quite like it.
From the cliffs and road noise, I'd guess the beginning sequence was from around Poke-O-Moonshine? I did peruse M****n H****w Road a few months ago, looking for your home/business, and couldn't quite figure where y'all were situated. Perhaps you prefer it that way!
Maybe we'll cross paths in the future when I'm a local again...
Already hip to the "Townsends" channel, this new-to-me channel seems to focus on similar content......I look forward to more.
It most definitely is a great place to call home and Melanie and Brian showed us some great Adirondacks hospitality .
My Respect.
Thank You.
Thank you too!
Enjoyed this so much as I like to forage as well as herbs. This was fun. Thanks for sharing .
I like people how like getting their hands dirty …. Thanks for watching.
Entertaining and informative. The Woodland Escape has become by far my favorite channel on TH-cam. Great work Peter and Cathy and kudos to Melanie for this outstanding segment.
Wow, thanks!
@@TheWoodlandEscape Clearly the producers of Alone missed a great opportunity to showcase your talents. Have they not heard that 70 is the new 40? 😀
@@danvanhorne4086 Right!
Wow! Fantastic video. Wealth of knowledge and passion of the foraging. 🐾🙏🏻✌🏻
Melanie certainly has both!
@@TheWoodlandEscape indeed sir.
34:52 I’ve read that Colts Foot leaves can be dried and burned and the ashes washed to harvest a small quantity of salt; which is a resource of perpetual interest to me, being far from the sea.
Is it actually salt or is it a salty tasting powder.
@ I’m a little vague on that, literature is conflicting, as some contend that colts foot is poisonous, some say that it is not, some say it produces actual sodium chloride salt, and some say it is ‘A salt’ (of which there are many) so I don’t know which to believe.
This is in my top five favorite channels on TH-cam, and very near the top of that list of five. Great episode!
Wow, thanks, we’re flattered.
That was perfect.. great information.. as always great content ..
Onward and Upward is the Watchword..
Yes! Thank you!
I learned about burdock root from playing the video game Red Dead Redemption 2. It's set in the late 19 century, but still is "somewhat" historically accurate.
Who would have thought, a video game teaching foraging!
Absolutely wonderful episode!
One of favorites to film and produce.
Excellent episode !
A very wise lady thank you
Thank you kindly :)
She is indeed and a lovely person to boot.
You both are an absolute inspiration and treasure of knowledge! Really enjoyed this video! Interesting, what you called Rat Root loos just like what I know as Bitter Root. We used it as Singers to keep our mouths moist, it prevented sore throat while singing; but is also a Diuretic.
Interesting and I thank you for sharing your knowledge. We appreciate your kind words.
What a totally charming and knowledgeable lady. I've subscribed to her channel and look forward to learning more. Excellent as usual Peter, thank you 🏴
Thank you kindly, Melanie’s content is amazing.
You meet the most amazing people! Thank you for sharing!
Absolutely!! And I count you as one of them, Ian.
Thank you for these very informative and fine videos.
Glad you like them!
I have to ask sir if the theme music that always warms my heart is played by yourself. When I hear it, I know great things are coming.
It is not, although when I go down east I play with my two good friends that recorded the tunes. I thank you for your kind words.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING ! I very much appreciate that you are taking us along on your adventures.;so much knowledge.
Glad you like them!
This is wonderful.
I’m glad you think so and we thank you.
Fantastic show thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great info, thanks Peter! Safe travels, see you tomorrow my friend.
Thanks 👍. I look forward to meeting you.
Very interesting, once more!
Glad you think so!
Thank you I always wondered how my ancestors survived when they first arrived.
Foraging was certainly a big part of it.
Great vid, I believe that stinging nettle also has a agricultural use as well. I just can't recall the details.
Interesting!
Such a great video!
Glad you liked it!!
Excellent!!!!
Glad you like it!
Great episode Peter. Melanie is a treasure. Let me know if you could use some help on Kelly Station. Are you presently at Martin Station?
In Ste. Genevieve Missouri at a wedding, back home Wednesday. I’d love you guys to come for some fort building. I did have a few fellows lend a hand, but I’m back solo and it’s a wee be slow.
The Cherokee made blowguns and darts from river cane to hunt small game. the fuzz on the darts was made from thistle down.
Thanks for sharing, I did not know .
Well that would keep you alive but im really attached to a can opener and beef stew 😅 very interesting i would loke to try some of the old foods thanks for the education its fun
Beef stew..a winner in my books too! Ever had snapping turtle stew? Foraged and just as good!
As they say Dale, you never know until you try, perhaps you might even throw that can opener away, lol.
Also salt can be extracted from colt's foot.
Ya think theres still much left of Old Samuel?
Thanks for sharing.
Peter you meet so many amazing people and you are ver knowledgeable yourself and one day you need to come to stones trace pioneer festival in Ligonier Indiana so we could meet 😊
Maybe one day, it is indeed on my list, Michael.
Hi this tom I
Love your video s watch all of your videos just was wondering how is the fort coming along tom young
Hey Tom, I appreciate the compliment and the fort is coming along quite well … over two hundred feed of palisade walls up.
Very interesting ❤
Glad you think so!
Applied to a similar show years ago when I was very active with medevial reenactment and was told they were not interested in folks with such a background because knew to much about surviving in those situations and they wanted folks who would struggle more. Which I found funny.
It certainly does seem a bit odd!
Great interview video.
Much appreciated! Glad you enjoyed it.
