What an incredibly moving video, Arthur! You have (unknowingly) become a mentor to me over these past six months. I can't thank you enough for all of the work that you've done and for your generosity in sharing your time and knowledge. I was quickly becoming that person you spoke of in your video - completely overwhelmed and starting to shut down. The knowledge I've gained from watching your videos and listening to the interviews that you've done changed the trajectory of my life and presented me with a path out of the madness of human domestication. Taking back that power and sovereignty is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I purchased "Ancestral Plants" a few months back and if my house were on fire, I would grab my dog and this book. I've been foraging for wild foods and medicines ever since and have already noticed huge benefits to my health and happiness. I made my first ever friction fire this past week (using a bow drill set of Northern White Cedar) and roasted some dandelion roots for use in a delicious spring tonic. :) Again, thank you for everything that you do!
I heard about Arthur from a friend in school who has learned a lot from you! I really appreciate how positive and balanced your perspective is, and it makes me excited to keep learning and reconnecting! I have a request, as someone trying to be an ally to indigenous people, that you may address in other videos, but worth saying here: a reminder to use present tense when talking about aboriginal or indigenous people and their ways of living because they are still alive and still practicing and people need to know that! And second, to focus not only on observing how people live indigenous-ly, but also on asking them! Since they can tell us themselves, and aren't just objects for the study of outside cultures. I know that's not your intention but I just wanted to write this here to help us non native people rember and stay aware of these subtle implications, important as we all work toward peaceable living together on earth.
Very well said! I am 63. While I have been an outdoor enthusiast all of my life, it has only been the last 8 years or so that I have opened my eyes to the bounty of nature. I can't go anywhere now without looking for berries, edible and medicinal mushrooms and other wild edibles. I have also taken to growing my own veggies and saving seeds. I was once blind but now I can see. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
I truly appreciate both the videos you have taken time to produce here in this channel as well as your commentaries on Daniel Vitals' podcast. Please make more videos, you have so much to share and speaking for myself at least I would thoroughly love to see more.
I was out walking in the woods today and I found lots of trout lily and I ate 2 flowers and 2 sets of leaves from the same plants . I have enough chaga to last me at least a year and know where there is 100,s of pounds of it . I love chicken of the woods - edible mushroom- polypore .I ,ll be getting some wild leaks asap. I ,m going to eat more dandelions this year and I,m going to eat some violets and mustard garlic . I have to try some mullen tea . Gret stuff Arthur .Blessings . I still have some of last years pine pollen and a few blueberries- wild and lots of blackberries and I,m going to collect as many juneberries as possible this year . Plus I plant a garden every year - heirloom . I,m trying to get back to nature as much as I can and I keep learning everything I can . Thanks for your help .
One of the greatest minds in our society and I haven't seen a video here in 7 years 😭 My love to you and your family. I know you have been busy with doing all your amazing work. I just wanted you to know you are missed! 🏹 Big hugs!
I've got 3 acres of land. But the wild food on my land consist of , strawberrys, black berrys , passion fruit, pears, persimmons , honeysuckle , dandelion , onion, chicory , clover, creases, pine, ceader, mint I mean the list goes on & on. Love the info and videos man. I'm a big fan. I grow a organic three sisters garden , all non GMO seeds. Keep preaching man . I'm gona pass theses ways down to my kids!!
I follow Peak Oil closely and have spent a lot of time in the past few years thinking about transition at the end of the industrial age. This is why I'm starting to learn how to forage this Spring. I live next to the Bigelow Preserve (Maine) and started studying Native American cultures a few months ago so I was thrilled to learn about the work you do!
hi. i heard about you today at the hardware store, some guy told me to look you up... i started the conversation about gum spirits so i would like to know what you think about turpentine. thanks so much. i have bad foot pain and am trying to rid myself of it.
Well i have to disagree with the claim that it tuk a lot of generations to forget the ancestral knowledge i think it tuk only 1 or 2 generations. Especialy after ww2 this forgeting escalated quickly.

Thank you Arthur. John
breaks my heart to find a talent like Arthur on youtube only to note he hasn't uploaded a video in years. does this mean they have died?
He is still alive. He posts more frequently on his blog.

Brilliant, as usual
