@@TheOutsiderCabin One of the reasons I just subscribed. Your frequent reminders to do actual research, in a way that suggests that you know very well what that means, is another.
Cleaning roots are so much easier when done with a tooth brush. Get more of the grit out of the crevices and use some small pruning snips to cut the chicory roots up instead of fighting with the knife.
@@JesusLovesUs144: It would depend on what type of dirt it is. Some might have toxins to them. But a bit of grit is not bad. BUT, grit in with the roots when you try to grind or chop them can wreak havoc on your blades and or grinding wheel. Too much grit might make your gizzard (appendix) try to work again (after thousands of generations of not being in use) and that can be painful and in some cases even deadly.
As a child, my grandma had us picking dandelions to cook with her turnip greens or collard and the turnips or collard greens. She said the dandelion is good for flushing the kidneys and low iron and good for ur liver. When she cooked the greens without adding other greens, it was to flush the digestive system. We actually liked it.
Contact the writer from nature's harvest. He does work along the same line and is extremely successful. Just telling somebody something is edible doesn't mean how to cook it. Or how to make it taste good. if you can tell somebody how they can enjoy it you will sell a million books. and what you get from TH-cam will look like nothing.
Where have you been all my life? This channel is the most practical, fun survival channel ever. Thank you. Please keep making videos. PS I’m a NH girl in a California world. So watching your videos reminds me of the homeland. 🙏🏼

When we were kids my sister and I and went to the country, my dad used to show us all the plants he used to eat as a kid and it was fascinating. He found wild hazelnuts, wild fruits and some other sweet tangy leaves to eat. But the one that stuck was the pine sap gum. He used to pull pine sap that was dripping from the trees and chew it like gum. It had an intense pine taste but it was so good. But man was it sticky. We couldn't wash it off our hands and we'd be stuck like this for days. lol. Fun times. I'm totally going to share your videos with him. Thank you for making these.
as a child, i walked to/from school. my friends and i always passed a corner house with a black walnut tree that had branches hanging over the edge of the walkway. we often sat at the corner and took off one shoe or boot to crack and eat walnuts until we were full lol. one of my fond childhood memories.
These plants you show are all very common to my views when i walk in the fields and all the times i have seen them when i was a child hiking in the woods near my home. Free healthy food with no pesticides. Walking by them all these years without a clue. till now. I subscribed. Thank you
@@mr.blackhawk142: Actually, the opposite has been proved to be true. See, without B12 in one's body, they start having immune issues and neuro disfunction that does lead to insanity. And adolph hilter became a prime example of that. And the most insane and violent people I have ever met are those who have lived most of their lives as vegan. I think y'all need to eat some turkey and get that triptophan sedation effect.
That's just great video. My Grandma survived 3 major hungers in Russia and she was teaching me some. I was too young to pay an attention. Thank you for your videos!!!
FYI, in regards to grinding roots like the dandelion and chicory, I found an old style manual coffee grinder like my grandfather would have used in an antique store for eight or ten bucks. I often use it for grinding herb(s)... and for camping when there's no electricity available.
I've been learning and studying about foraging for a while now... Now I have been wondering abour recipes... This was exactly what I was looking for! I wonder where he originally learned this from...
The apple syrup was a new idea I hadn’t considered. I’ve made apple butter (which is essentially super thick apple sauce) but not made actual syrup. Grape leaves are very tasty in a salad or wrapped around rice or meat filling. Grapes sweeten up AFTER being hit by a frost. If you wait until night temps drop the grapes will be more tasty, often no sugar needed. My parents had a group of hawthorn bushes at the end of the garden (the house was built in 1820, so had a lot of odd things growing around) but we had NO IDEA they were edible! For those leaning toward sustainability, eco-friendly foraging, remember to thank the native plants you harvest by dispersing the seeds you don’t eat, or even as you did and transplant the roots so new plants will grow.
I wonder if you could make apple sugar in the same way you can make maple sugar. That'd be huge because it's hard to get crystal sugar whenever you're foraging
I Learn so much watching your videos other videos tell you how to do something but you do it Thanks for making these videos and for not taking them down 👍🏻💕
my grandmother was big on these. before flowering, the leaves can be fried up with a little bacon grease, leaves with some mint leaves make a nice healthy tea & leaves also make a nice addition to a salad, the leaves alone make a nice salad. the flowers can be lightly dredged in seasoned flour & deep fried. the flowers can of course be used to make wine & poor man's honey
While you call the chicory the poor man's coffee, in new orleans it is the orleans style coffee or simply orleans coffee and will set you back almost $5/mug. Also, just like the dandelion (the two are close cousins), the greens are great as cooked greens when older and salad greens when younger. The flowers can be fried with or without being batter dipped or used in a stir-fry. And of course, there is the wine made from dandelion flowers.
Your videos are absolutely my favorite for learning about foraging! Your voice is calming, both you and your wife give easy instructions/suggestions with none of the annoying hype and music that many others insist on using. Thank you SO much!!!
Wild mint is a great thing to have available to you in your yard. I love a few leaves in a cup of cold brew iced tea. Absolutely delicious. Also in this time where artificial mint flavors are as strong as they can make them its so nice to have this natural source.
Why would people add a thumbs down to these informative, creative, and important, and entertaining videos...and the outsider is a brilliant and articulate gentleman..my favorite on UTube...
Great explanations , great visuals, kudos for only showing good plants but explaining the differences in detail. you understand the human mind with intelligence mister wristbands. Thank You
The wild grapes also make a great jelly. I use the same process to extract the juice, strain through cheesecloth and then prepare as you would any jam or jelly. The kids love it and it only takes some sugar and certo, and therefore much cheaper than buying at the store. Plus there is the pride of collecting the berries and making it all yourself.
You've put a lot of work into this video. Thank you for your selfless service to others as you open the eyes of those who have never heard of natural earth foods.
Black walnuts are a big favorite! They make awesome oatmeal cookies and wonderful biscotti. My grandma always made chocolate cake with black walnuts on top of white frosting for my birthday. My favorite! My friend adds them to her banana bread which is great. A good Mennonite friend taught me how to make awesome dill pickles that use lots of fresh dill leaves and a grape leaf for crispness. A mulberry leaf or horseradish leaf can be substituted but grape is best
The plant at 23.00 is fantastic and used by many Norwegians. If you have a wound that does not heal, eg many older immune defenses, roll the blade lightly between the fingers so that many cells in the leaf are pierced. Then you put the blade straight on the wound and cover with bandage. Very effective on wounds that will not heal. This plant is called groblad in Norwegian, directly translated to heal leaf.
Growing up we use to collect black walnuts when they had fallen, put them in the drive and just drive over them during the fall and winter to remove the flesh, then we pick them up in the spring and crack them open. My mother would then put them in a warm oven to dry the nuts to store them
Okay, the rose hips. You can simply squeeze them and the goopy flesh will come out of the open part that was connected to the stem. The seeds stay inside the skin, and you suck out all the flesh goop. It's delicious, probably one of my favorite forage items all year.
After you stomp on the cork type plug, try using a few pipe clamps to press it over night. Tighten the clamps every time you remember. At the clamp stage you can use a bucket with a few dozen 1/4 inch holes fitted inside another pail. You can gain more than a bit more.
Your videos are very helpful and interesting, I think everyone should learn about this topic, you never know where you might find yourself and what you may need to know to survive.
Your videos are very informative and verifiable. Everything that you have covered is correct. I have survived for over a year in the woods on almost everything that you have covered. I have used the pollen as a flour base from the cattail as well as the young cattail shoots as a type of corn on the cob. I appreciate that you have made this video as it helps those that may need to survive in the future.
26:00 The plantain can also be fried ( I like it fried with a bit of olive oil better than boiled ), it is quite good if you fry it with a bit of garlic too, mmm good stuff! Good video!
Its adorable when he does flourishes with end product. PRESENTATION. I'm just trying to picture this outdoorsy metal guy adding a mint as a drink garnish.
With Sumac, I was taught to dry the flower heads then remove the berries from the stem and remove as much of the twigs as can be. The stem and the twigs actually contain a huge amount of tannin which will turn the drink bitter. I left the berries in the water, in the fridge overnight then strained it. Amazing. BTW I did not know that a coffee like drink can be made from dandelions! Thanks for that. I've done chicory but not dandelion....common spring and summer!
??? Why the hell is TH-cam only now recommending your videos, I love this stuff I can't wait to try the mint chips, love the video can't wait to go thrue your videos.
I love dandelion coffee. I roast it using a recipe from Paul Tappenden one of the foragers that was a teacher to me and he roasts it until it begins to smoke. It tastes like caramel coffee it is delicious.
Plantain juice can remove the sting on your skin from nettles, chew a leaf and spread it on the area that stings and burns. Wild grapes are also known as frost grapes, in the fall after the first frost they turn sweet.
The wild grapes where he lives are tiny! We have muskasine here, which are about the same size as store bought grapes, but have much thicker skins. They’re also all sour. Only good for jams and jellies
I love dandelion tea/coffee too. I've never roasted them over a campfire. I bet that would be the best tasting way to do It. My mom and daughter and I like to batter up the dandelion flowers and fry them up to eat. They taste kind of like morel mushrooms when battered and fried like that.
To things I keep in a bushcraft/ survival situation; 1 a large metal cannabis grinder from a dispensary, 2 a small French press. I typically use the grinder for making fire tinder, but chicory root and dandelion roasted up will do nicely as well. Some people will say the French press is a luxury item, I beg to differ.
I live in North Texas and there are Mustang grape vines everywhere! They are ripe now so I eat some when I go on my walks. I've picked some too! Got them in my freezer. I'm gonna make jelly! 🤭 We have muscadine grapes also. They aren't ripe yet.
I just love to learn about outside living and natural ways to find real remedies of plants that we all take for granted we buy things that kill off natural edible . most of which you've shown grows in and around my yard thanks now i will try these things out and send you an update of what i think of it thanks again ..
I love this idea of having an interactive menu and organizing everything into a neat set-up. Big fan of your clean, thorough, and trustworthy videos. Please do follow up with a season 2 :) I'll be looking forward to it if it's happening! 😀
a hint to make it even more simple would be to add the times in the description so people could click on a link to skip to the plants of interest :) But very well executed video!
I am loving your channel!!! My Italian grandmother used to pick the dandelions off my front lawn and make a salad from the leaves. This is a while other purpose. Very cool!!!!
thanks for taking the time to make these videos, they're informative and interesting. I'm so far removed from nature and its killed my spirit and made me sick. I'm returning to my roots and am happy that I stumbled across your channel, please keep these up! just made some apple syrup, dandelion coffee and cedar tea... yummy!!
I recently discovered your channel. You are very well spoken and I genuinely enjoy watching you plate the foods you create. There is art involved and it just adds to the experience. Thank you for all you do. Best vids I've found for general all area foraging.
On cattail, before the leafy sheath falls away from the stock, there are actually two heads. Snap the top one of and steam, serve with butter. Kind of like mini corn on the cobs.
Another neat walnut nugget: you can make biodegradable ink from the walnut shells. You want to do this after harvesting the edible part out. There are a bunch of videos on TH-cam that show how to make the ink.
I love dandelions. I used to eat them out of my garden when I was a kid, but I can't do that anymore because the lawnmowers have exterminated it from the entire neighborhood because "Its a 'weed' it's 'EVIL!' And it must be destroyed!" I found dandelion wine at a bar and it cost me $7 for a 4oz. pour... ridiculous. The world was so great when I was a kid. The wine was still good though. It tasted like childhood dreams and escapism.
it amazes me that people like the taste of dandelions. I remember getting it in my mouth as a kid and it tasted terrible and bitter! maybe now that I'm older it will be more tolerable haha
Your warnings are the best, lol, ..... "do not eat anything outside without checking references!" .... perfect, so cool, .... because people *are* silly dumb sometimes. Love every episode, thank you!
The rose hips you found are from the primrose that grow wild, the thorns grow curved and will rip into any animal that gets its seed pods (rose hips) Primrose has a white flower much smaller than regular rose.
When I was in middle school, on my walks from home id pass a brush that had mint leaves growing in it. I would pluck a couple and eat them raw just to weird my friends out because they could never tell what or why I was eating them for. Took forever for them to realize it was just mint.
Thanks for the info - just the right mix of identification and use, with some soil types thrown in. I hope to grow many of these in my back yard and start that way toward learning some basic wilderness identification skills. Enjoyed the little artistic touches too! :D
Also a fun fact most instant coffee has Coffee + Chicory Blend. In India we usually have Chocory blended instant coffee. so like 70% coffee 30% Chicory, and these blends vary for various target flavour profile.
28:28 One should becareful , when picking wild apples. especially long side a fence and tree line. Alot of farmers and land owners. plant apples trees and let them grow wild.too attract deer in the fall.they put stalt licks out also. deer love apple cider. : )) This is one of my fave videos. thanks for sharing.
Hawthorns also have thorns because they were a favorite food of Mastodons back in the ice age. The thorns made it more difficult for them to be browsed upon bu the Mastodons. Hawthorns are also related to Apples and Pears as well as rose bushes.
I think I learned from Katrina Blair that purslane is used as a binder. Thank you for sharing your wild foraging experiences. I have just begun my self-directed education in wild foraging - and I LOVE IT!!!
about Sumac: here in the middle east we dry it then we crush it and we keep it as we dried herbs. we generously use it in salads and sometimes in cooking. it has an extremely pleasant acid taste.
I recently discovered and identified garlic mustard in my garden here in the UK. I had not heard of it before. It was interesting to see your video with the garlic mustard vinaigrette. Maybe I should try it some time.
Thank you for the subtitles :) The chicory coffee, if bake at lower temperature and avoid getting it black it will not taste so bitter. Add cardamon seeds for a different flavour to the milk free coffee for a change.
A little tip I learned years ago from a man at work who was into home remedies, when I had injured my knee and was so uncomfortable: He told me to spread some Vicks Vaporub on my knee then cover it with some wild plantain and wrap it up with my elastic bandage. I was a little dubious "cause I had never thought of Vicks for anything but my chest for a cold but was desperate so gave it a try and darn if it wasn't better than anything else I tried for pain relief! Better even than the painkillers prescribed by the doctor. I tried the ingredients separately but it only worked together. Thanks to Marcellin, those three months of recuperation were easier to bear.
Share these videos as much as possible while they are available. Already stores are poorly stocked and harder to get to in many places. These videos can really help in these rough times

Cleaning roots are so much easier when done with a tooth brush. Get more of the grit out of the crevices and use some small pruning snips to cut the chicory roots up instead of fighting with the knife.
Would u brown or black the roots?
@@releventhurt: Roast them until a brown black in color. Keeping them moving while roasting helps to not burn them.
Azri'el Collier I am not sure if it’s true but I heard that a little bit of dirt in our diet is ok. It won’t hurt you?
@@JesusLovesUs144: It would depend on what type of dirt it is. Some might have toxins to them. But a bit of grit is not bad. BUT, grit in with the roots when you try to grind or chop them can wreak havoc on your blades and or grinding wheel. Too much grit might make your gizzard (appendix) try to work again (after thousands of generations of not being in use) and that can be painful and in some cases even deadly.
What if you don’t have an appendix?

Gray videos you got me rooting through my backyard and staring at the sides of the roads when I go for a walk. I'm really enjoying what you've done
Watch out for those roadsides excessively dosed with herbicides. They work until they don't and the weeds grow back with uptake you won't want.
To things I keep in a bushcraft/ survival situation; 1 a large metal cannabis grinder from a dispensary, 2 a small French press. I typically use the grinder for making fire tinder, but chicory root and dandelion roasted up will do nicely as well. Some people will say the French press is a luxury item, I beg to differ.
I live in North Texas and there are Mustang grape vines everywhere! They are ripe now so I eat some when I go on my walks. I've picked some too! Got them in my freezer. I'm gonna make jelly! 🤭 We have muscadine grapes also. They aren't ripe yet.
I just love to learn about outside living and natural ways to find real remedies of plants that we all take for granted we buy things that kill off natural edible . most of which you've shown grows in and around my yard thanks now i will try these things out and send you an update of what i think of it thanks again ..
I'm enjoying this video on wild edibles. Thank you for this God Bless you and your family
I love this idea of having an interactive menu and organizing everything into a neat set-up. Big fan of your clean, thorough, and trustworthy videos. Please do follow up with a season 2 :) I'll be looking forward to it if it's happening! 😀
+Kelly Tang Thanks Kelly! I'm gradually producing more wild edibles episodes. Once I have enough, I'll definitely be compiling a second season.
+OutsideFun1 👍😀
a hint to make it even more simple would be to add the times in the description so people could click on a link to skip to the plants of interest :) But very well executed video!
I am loving your channel!!! My Italian grandmother used to pick the dandelions off my front lawn and make a salad from the leaves. This is a while other purpose. Very cool!!!!
One of the tastiest things you can do with rosehips is to make jam from them. The finished jam tastes like hibiscus tea mixed with lemonade.
thanks for taking the time to make these videos, they're informative and interesting. I'm so far removed from nature and its killed my spirit and made me sick. I'm returning to my roots and am happy that I stumbled across your channel, please keep these up! just made some apple syrup, dandelion coffee and cedar tea... yummy!!
I recently discovered your channel. You are very well spoken and I genuinely enjoy watching you plate the foods you create. There is art involved and it just adds to the experience. Thank you for all you do. Best vids I've found for general all area foraging.
Great video. I'm ready for a hike through our woods!
I love seeing young people like you that are so aware of they're environment and how to utilize it. So cool. Cooler than the other side of the pillow.
On cattail, before the leafy sheath falls away from the stock, there are actually two heads. Snap the top one of and steam, serve with butter. Kind of like mini corn on the cobs.
Another neat walnut nugget: you can make biodegradable ink from the walnut shells. You want to do this after harvesting the edible part out. There are a bunch of videos on TH-cam that show how to make the ink.
Excellent videos, thank you for your research and explaining everything so well!
I love dandelions. I used to eat them out of my garden when I was a kid, but I can't do that anymore because the lawnmowers have exterminated it from the entire neighborhood because "Its a 'weed' it's 'EVIL!' And it must be destroyed!"
I found dandelion wine at a bar and it cost me $7 for a 4oz. pour... ridiculous. The world was so great when I was a kid.
The wine was still good though. It tasted like childhood dreams and escapism.
did they sweep up old cigarette butts to prevent you from shoving those in your face, too?
what fuckin outright nazis!
it amazes me that people like the taste of dandelions. I remember getting it in my mouth as a kid and it tasted terrible and bitter! maybe now that I'm older it will be more tolerable haha
@@Khunark I washed them first.
@@artsymarsy8480 Do you like kale and arugula?
I’d pay a lot for a lawnmower that can exterminate dandelions from lawns
Your warnings are the best, lol, ..... "do not eat anything outside without checking references!" .... perfect, so cool, .... because people *are* silly dumb sometimes. Love every episode, thank you!
The rose hips you found are from the primrose that grow wild, the thorns grow curved and will rip into any animal that gets its seed pods (rose hips) Primrose has a white flower much smaller than regular rose.
When I was in middle school, on my walks from home id pass a brush that had mint leaves growing in it. I would pluck a couple and eat them raw just to weird my friends out because they could never tell what or why I was eating them for. Took forever for them to realize it was just mint.
Thanks for the info - just the right mix of identification and use, with some soil types thrown in. I hope to grow many of these in my back yard and start that way toward learning some basic wilderness identification skills. Enjoyed the little artistic touches too! :D
Also a fun fact most instant coffee has Coffee + Chicory Blend. In India we usually have Chocory blended instant coffee. so like 70% coffee 30% Chicory, and these blends vary for various target flavour profile.
28:28 One should becareful , when picking wild apples.
especially long side a fence and tree line. Alot of farmers and land owners. plant apples trees and let them grow wild.too attract deer in the fall.they put stalt licks out also. deer love apple cider. : ))
This is one of my fave videos. thanks for sharing.
Hawthorns also have thorns because they were a favorite food of Mastodons back in the ice age. The thorns made it more difficult for them to be browsed upon bu the Mastodons. Hawthorns are also related to Apples and Pears as well as rose bushes.
I think I learned from Katrina Blair that purslane is used as a binder.
Thank you for sharing your wild foraging experiences. I have just begun my self-directed education in wild foraging - and I LOVE IT!!!
Purslane is a lil sticky, crunchy is a salad to.
Are u kidding me. I love this. Wow. Thanks so much. U totally changed my life, thanks brother
This video was supper long for me but to my surprise I freakn enjoyed the whole video every bit of it. Thanks for shareing your wisdom❤️😘
about Sumac:
here in the middle east we dry it then we crush it and we keep it as we dried herbs. we generously use it in salads and sometimes in cooking. it has an extremely pleasant acid taste.
I recently discovered and identified garlic mustard in my garden here in the UK. I had not heard of it before. It was interesting to see your video with the garlic mustard vinaigrette. Maybe I should try it some time.
Just stumbled across this. Loved it! Going to check for more videos like this. God bless you.
Thank you for the subtitles :)
The chicory coffee, if bake at lower temperature and avoid getting it black it will not taste so bitter. Add cardamon seeds for a different flavour to the milk free coffee for a change.
Would you brown or toast them rather than blacken?
Very cool video. A lot of these plants grow all the way down here in Texas. It'll be fun to try some new recipes with the kids. Thank you for posting.
You should try making acorn flour. Thats what native Americans used most often for flour. Not sure of the recipe though.
Haven Perez Thanks for watching Haven! I have been wanting to make flour from acorns, but unfortunately there aren't many oak trees in my area.
OutsideFun1 What state was this filmed in? Thanks
dbcurlgirl56 , I don't know what territory, but he lives in Canada.

A little tip I learned years ago from a man at work who was into home remedies, when I had injured my knee and was so uncomfortable: He told me to spread some Vicks Vaporub on my knee then cover it with some wild plantain and wrap it up with my elastic bandage. I was a little dubious "cause I had never thought of Vicks for anything but my chest for a cold but was desperate so gave it a try and darn if it wasn't better than anything else I tried for pain relief! Better even than the painkillers prescribed by the doctor. I tried the ingredients separately but it only worked together. Thanks to Marcellin, those three months of recuperation were easier to bear.
My grandma used Vicks rub for everything. Next time you have a headache, put a dab on your temples.
Share these videos as much as possible while they are available. Already stores are poorly stocked and harder to get to in many places. These videos can really help in these rough times
Another mint family identifier is the squared stems.
Excellent thank you
The one you called plantain? We call it healing leaves in Norway :) always been told to use it when you got a burn, cut etc :)
I LOVE IT & THANK U SO MUCH FOR MAKING VIDEOS ABOUT THIS, I WANT TO LEARN EVERYTHING ABOUT EDIBLE & MEDICINAL PLANTS, THANX AGAIN MY FRIEND
Absolutely love your passion for nature and survival
Thanks for making this one whole video, makes it more fun to watch
