    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!😊

    This video is so informative and so very interesting!

I learned many new things from this excellent video! Thank you and Melanie!😃👍

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."

    "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.

    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.

    • @TheWoodlandEscape
      @TheWoodlandEscape  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Is it actually salt or is it a salty tasting powder.

    • @Vikingwerk
      @Vikingwerk หลายเดือนก่อน

      @ 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.
