Those mushrooms in your shot are Aspen Boletes. Edable with caution. They can make some sick.. I would avoid. Good rule to harvest by...If it turns Black or Blue so can you! AVOID ANY dark color change They won't kill ya but you might be in the outhouse a while ;)
I just did a Catch, clean cook video on boletes and do mushroom walks most evenings Aug-Sept here at the school to teach people what to look for :)
Now this is the video I was needing to see!! th-cam.com/video/33S-EZp7YJA/w-d-xo.html Thank you so much Gnomie for doing such an in-depth video! Fantastic timing!
I found your Chanel a few days ago and have been binge watching ever since. Love your videos.
I’m a very keen gardener and grow a lot of different vegetables and fruits. When you harvest rhubarb a suggestion would be to not cut the stalks but to grasp a leaf stem at the very bottom, give it a small twist, and pull it sideways to remove the stalk at its base. This technique leaves no stub behind to rot.
Take care and I’m looking forward to my continued binge watching of your wonderful videos. Cheers Annie
I know I'm old fashioned, but that holstered sidearm on your hip is a very appealing sight.
I told her that, she knows. Bad Ass lady, like myself.😄🤘
HA! Well good because I am old fashioned too! I have been known to fall asleep with my holster on though! Shhh don't tell anyone ok! 🤣 Wearing dresses all the time, the holster was a good fit. I do still wear my concealed 38 special too!😁 Thank you so much MrPerry! 🧡🤗💚
Thank you so much 😉🧡
The fireweed here is already sending out seed parachutes in the wind. Summer is over.
I know! I know! 🥲 Winter is coming!! 🤨 Thank you so much Ed!
That rubarb reminding me of the first time I harvested at my grandparents ranch in Nebraska.... I was 11 and wasn't really into it... then later I had the pie and was game for any more trips to get rubarb! BTW.... the Alone in The Wilderness book by Dick Pronneke is a great diary synopsis of his first couple years of the eventual 35 he spent at twin lakes. To this day, the documentary of the same name is my all time favorite DVD..... and I'm a person that doesn't watch many things more than once.... but that one, probably 20-30 times I'm guessing!
Hello Joe! Rhubarb is SO easy to grow and tastes amazing! When I was in Colorado, I had two plants that just grew like crazy with very little care. The pie is a great motivator isn't it! 🤣 I know I have some of his DVD's since I used to watch them in Colorado when I was dreaming about Alaska. Once my son gets here with all my stuff, I am going to see what I am missing. His website has a lot of stuff I wasn't aware of like a coffee table photo book! And yeah, I too have probably seen his video many times but not as many as you! LOL! 🤪 Thank you so much Joe! 🧡🤗💚
A cat will bring trophies home, but you'd know if you had a stray cat
LOL! Yes I would hope so! No stray cats all the way out here and if I did see one, I would probably take it in. I do have Lynx around though. It is possible whatever it was, was just walking by the front door on its way to eat the bird and maybe I scared it somehow when opening the door or ?? Thank you so much!
The couple on Simple Living Alaska eat the King Baleek mushrooms. On their last episode they ate some that look just like that. You might take a look at their mushroom hunting on “outhouse build on our remote property”. It would great if they were Kings!
I was goin to add this info too!!!
Me too.
Does any one use or Forage Devil's Claw.? Good stuff.
Yes! They are great. You’d have a wealth of knowledge at your fingertip.
I used to hang a shiny metallic wind chime at the top of my window. The sound was lovely and alerted the birds. The shine against the window would reflect and move even if it wasn’t windy.
I remember watching the episode and they picked a couple but don't remember them talking about how to identify them. I will certainly be checking the video out again! Thank you so much!
Good news rose hips are not toxic. Apple seeds you would need to eat appropriately 40 apples in one sitting and crush the apple seeds when eating the 40 apples. I hope this helps relieve some anxiety about consuming your wild edibles. I personally take elderberry each day to keep my immunity up to prevent sickness.
Well that is great news! I knew for the apple seeds it would take a large amount but had no idea it was 40! That's a lot of apples! I do love the elderberry tea! And I love that it is natural. Thank you so much for the PRO TIPS Tammara!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska it's my pleasure. I'm glad I could help in some small way 😊
We use sun catchers and hooks on suction cups. Maybe a prism.
I definitely like that idea a lot! And they just look so pretty too! Thank you so much Alli! 🧡🤗💚
I love seeing the land scape, please check out Simple living Alaska, they are your neighbors, and can help with the mushrooms ID.
Simple Living Alaska knows their stuff..Great resource to reach out to..
@Alone, As you already know I am an avid follower, as I know you are also, of your fellow countrymen Eric & Arielle Illia . So I would definitely point you in their direction for such things as the mushrooms. Not only are they knowledgeable in so many of the edible local fungi, they are also accessible if necessary , to meet up with and discuss the pros and cons of what's growing locally in your area. I'd not be going by anyone on here just taking a stab at what mushroom is what. That said, I know you'll continue to be super cautious about what advice you consume ( enjoy the pun please) LOL LOL Another delightful video, my friend, stirring once again beautiful childhood memories for me with rhubarb, and rose hip, and elderberries to name a few. Mother made gooseberry jam, blackcurrant jam, strawberry jam, and raspberry jam, but she made a beautifully delicate red currant jelly. The thousands of blackberries also gave us jam but mostly pie or blackberry & apple pie or crumble. I am seriously salivating now !!!! We have Portobello mushrooms in both Australia & NZ butt I'd not presume to advise what they looked like in your neck of the woods in Alaska. Collecting paddock mushrooms as a child was always part of our farming life . So delighted in your Postal gifts. So many helpful blessings to brighten your days. Much love ,with big hugs, thoughts and prayers always, my friend, from this Aussie /Kiwi born & raised Nan 🤗💞✝️🙏✌️😃👏👏 ps. Thanks for the laughs at the out-takes 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I do watch Simple Living Alaska and enjoy their videos! Thank you so much
@@heatherclayton-callaghan4270 Hello Heather! I do hope to run into Eric and Arielle someday! They just seem like nice people! Maybe someday we could do a collab video too! I do love all of the advise I get in the comments and I always "double check" before doing anything. The mushrooms can wait as far as I am concerned. I do want to learn it though! Portobello and Button mushrooms I get from the store are just fine and I don't eat mushrooms that much anyway. Once I get my garden set up, I will have a berry patch that will have all the berries I could possibly need. Pies and jams are definitely going to happen! The gifts everyone sends are just so thoughtful. It's like Christmas every Saturday! So glad you are enjoying the out takes! They happen all the time! Sometime too much! Thank you so much Heather!
So beautiful and peaceful there . I couldn’t live in a place I can’t be outside with my dog without worrying .
That is why I keep Kenai on a tether for now. When I have the backyard fenced in, after I check the fence line daily, I can let Kenai run free back there without worry. Small dogs would not last out here though. Too many big birds and animals would love to make them a meal. Thank you so much Louise! 🧡🤗💚
You crack me up! Thank you for being so genuine.
LOL! It was my pleasure Barbara! Thank you so much
I can’t say enough how GREAT THAT WINDOW IS. I’d never get anything done for looking out.
That window is a problem! I will drink my morning coffee just starring out the window, or the back window and just watch nothing and everything. Just get lost in thought! Until my work phone rings and snaps me back into reality! 🤪 Thank you so much Rose Anne! 🧡🤗💚
Try CDs hung outside on fishing line to help keep birds safe. 🐦
Fishing line! CHECK. CD's? um ....... I don't have any of those! 😁 Time to hit a garage sale or thrift store! Thank you so much! 🧡🤗💚
+The bloopers! 😏
HA! They do happen every time I film! So glad you are enjoying them! Thank you so much Ona!
You need an Alaska foraging guide. Ask “Living Alaska” for help with mushrooms or resources - they harvest what is safe and yummy. Alone, you have good “scrounging” there! Alone, I am in a “freaking” HOA community, caring for a 92+ year young Mom. So disturbed by birds attracted to the windows. . . it makes me want to leave the windows dirt! Thank you for all you share and teach us!
I was going to say the same thing.
I was going to say the same. Contact Josh and Ariel at Simple Living Alaska. They can help you with anything foraging.
@@bethgipsonbrady6618
That would be Eric and Arielle Illia @Simple Living Alaska.
Sorry guys but as a mushroom forager I would NOT recommend "Simple Living Alaskas" video on the mushroom hunting they put out unless you want to get an upset tummy.
One of the mushrooms they suggested could do just that.
They put out some great info and videos but mushroom people they are not. PLEASE use extreem caution when taking advice on mushroom. Unless you know they are well educated and trained.
Thanks
The Gnomesteader 😊
NO NO NO! No HOA's for this gal! EVER! When I was searching for this property, I came across many properties in HOA's. I didn't care how nice or how cheap those properties were! NEXT! RESPECT to you for caring for your mom! That is so admirable! And I will do whatever I can to keep birds from slamming into my windows. I just feel so guilty when they do. And I do watch Simple Living Alaska! I just wish they would show more about how to identify the stuff they forage. Thank you so much Ona!
I can honestly say I'm done with summer for the year. Bring on my favorite season, fall!
OMG!! Fall is the best time of year anywhere in the country! I love fall! Kind of like winter too! 🤣 Thank you so much Colin! 🧡🤗💚
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska I absolutely LOVE everything about fall; cool crisp temps, NO BUGS!, all the colors, cozy fires, fall spices, scents and food, like a big pot of chili, or yummy hearty soup or stew, it's just quieter, all the colors are my favourite colors, falling leaves and the smell of them. THANKSGIVING!!!! MY favourite holiday, did I mention that I love fall most of all? Lol!
❤️❤️❤️🤗
Thank you so much Jennifer! 🧡🤗💚
Strawberry rhubarb pie anyone? 👍😃✌️🇺🇸🥧 It’s frickin delicious!
Probably one of the best pies ever made! Nice cup of coffee to go with it and your set! Thank you so much!
My Uncle had the same issue. He purchased a square with designs from the Audobon Society. It has worked & it has stuck to the window for years.
Well that just makes all kinds of sense! They would know what works best! I will check it out! Thank you so much!
Omg you crack me up I liked the ending too funny.
Thank you so much Irene! I thought I could "act" it off but um ... no!
Lavender is so super in tea. It tastes wonderful
Oh yeah! I love Lavender! And it smells so nice! Thank you so much Laura-lee!
I think a Sasquatch saw you carry the bird into the woods and then for some reason brought it back to your house.
I agree.
Hello Frank! I wish my security camera would have caught that! Thank you so much!
@@LV12800 Technically would that be re-gifting?
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska not sure...but possibly...sasquatch are highly compassionate and they are integrated with nature in ways we cannot understand or perceive.
@@LV12800 100% agree with you there!
👍👍✌️
Thank you so much Ron!
Thank you for another Video! I could watch your Videos Daily.💜
That is so awesome to hear! Now I wish I could post videos daily! Thank you so much Jennifer! 🧡🤗💚
Omg you did get it.. yeah I hope you love them and they brighten your day. Hope the clothes were the right size for the boy.. you got some great gifts.Wow what a great window to look out and cook from.
Hey Deedie! There you are! I was absolutely amazed at what you made! You have some serious artistic talent! I want to hang these up on the wall. Will they be ok if I put them in a frame or shadow box? My contractor will be here in about a week to do some hunting and I will make sure he gets those items for his son! His son is going to love everything! It was very sweet of you sending all these items! I can't thank you enough!
You can also put up a pic of an owl on your window and the birds will stay away Rose hips also make a wonderful jam
I have seen the easy peel stickers of owls and hawks and may use them next. For now the grid I applied seems to be working. I had no idea you could make rose hip jam! I will have to look into that! Thank you so much Sarah! 🧡🤗💚
I love how you teach us of home remedies such as these flowers for making tea. A cup of hot tea and looking out towards the mountains there is no better joy then this. Ok! Kids are a 😊 joy. But! Ahhh the peace ❤️. Thank you for sharing your life with us ❤️ 😍 💖
I do like to show what I know and to hear from commenters of what I can do better! I find myself every morning just looking out all the windows. I get lost in thought! Until Kenai begs to go outside! 🤣And thank you Delia for joining me on my journey here! 🧡🤗💚
I dont blame you about not messing with the mushrooms. When in doubt, leave it out is always the best rule.
I won't risk it just to eat some mushrooms. I like them but I don't like them that much! 🤪 I can deal with store bought for now. But I will learn how to identify them eventually! Thank you so much! 🧡🤗💚
I’ve always used stained glass window hangers, the ones that fasten with sucker cups. Always worked for us.
Fantastic idea! And they look so pretty too! I like it! Thank you so much Ken and Linda!
😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤ I enjoyed the video , with the tea 🍵 etc. regarding mushrooms 🍄 I wouldn’t eat them regardless 😂😂😂😂
Agreed! Until I get some more training on mushrooms, I will certainly not risk it! Thank you so much Rosa!
👍 bEAUTIFUL SCENERY AS ALWAYS. Enjoy
Thank you so much! I do plan on making those transition/scenery clips just a tad longer on future videos!
Bigfoot brings gifts...maybe birds!!
Very possible! I'd prefer gold nuggets though! 🤣 Thank you so much Karyn! 🧡🤗💚
Great video my friend as always my Anne with her gun on her hip. Sorry about the bird I'm sure it wasn't the big hairy guy who dropped it back off at that front door. He would have buried it as he doesn't eat meat but he does like apples and peaches but they got to be high up in the tree at least 10 feet. Put in reflective stickers on the Windows now don't do that you'll mess up your view. Photos twirly thing hanging from the ease on front of the windows to scare the birds. And watching you go through all that in making your tea I'll just take the bag stuff and boil some water and dunk it a few times. Too much work for me. Then again as always love the views that you show. Love You, my Friend. Be Good be Safe and Stay, locked and loaded. LOVES.💕🌹💕🌹💕
I don't mind making a nice cup of tea now and then. I don't drink tea as much as coffee though! But when I do make tea, it has to be good! As for the bird, yeah it is very unfortunate. I will definitely do what I can to prevent it in the future. If it was Sasquatch that returned it, he/she could have at least cooked it up with some wild rice first! Jeeez! THEN we can talk about apples and peaches! Locked and loaded for sure! Thank you so much Joe!
Just saying hello from Melbourne 🇦🇺😀
Hello Lynda! It has been awhile! Welcome back! 🧡🤗💚
Please for the love..be careful with wild fungus! You're very smart to be cautious.
Oh yeah I wont be eating any wild mushrooms for a bit. Mushrooms in aisle one at the grocery store are good for now! Thank you so much Leigh!
😁.... Well what can I say, beautiful scenery as always!
Loved the music at the beginning.
Rubar pie I hear is good, never tried it.
I have noticed that you seem a little bit more at ease with being on video now, keep it up, you be yourself and have fun...
Hey go fishing for peet sake!
Or hunting, BOTH!
Very awesome to hear you are enjoying the videos Charles! I decided I need to make the scenery parts just a tad longer! Everyone seems to like them. After about 50 videos, I think I am finding my way on this TH-cam thing! They say it takes 50 videos before you find your style. And are you sure you have never had strawberry/rhubarb pie? They usually mix those two together. I could go hunting and fishing but I would have to pay the "out of state" license since I have not hit my full year yet! I think I need another month. But hey! I did go scene hunting for you! Thank you so much Charles!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska yeah the out of state hunting and fishing fee's are outrageous here, I can't emagin what they cost in Alaska.
You are doing great.
Just keep being yourself and doing what makes you happy.
Don't worry about what others think, don't change your videos for anyone except yourself! ( Remember that you can not please everyone all of the time, and some you can never please. )
And don't let anyone try and tell you how to make videos, dress, music, or anything else, you be you, most of the people watching your videos like what you are doing, how you doing it, You, your personality and honesty! ( I can honestly say that you are the only TH-camr I have seen that shows that they mess up, and yes I like the bloopers to )
Have fun, enjoy, until next time.
@@charlesquick3091 I remember a quote I read "The key to failure is trying to please everyone" My videos are what they are because I keep it real and don't fluff anything. Sure I get negative comments and people unsub but there is nothing I can do about that! I make my videos for the great viewers/subs that I do have like you. Hopefully others want to tag along. Funny thing about the bloopers is, I didn't originally want to show I messed up and what you see is just a sampling! Thank you so much Charles! You have been here since I had few hundred subs and I will always remember that!
So many great things in this episode. Love the teas!
I do love rose hip tea! the tea works well just tossing them in whole too but I like my tea just a tad stronger sometimes! Thank you so much! 😉🧡
thank you for another great video and yes here in Ohio it's beginning to look like fall have a great day Shirley from Ohio
Fall is my favorite season! Even if it doesn't last long here, it sure is beautiful! And cooler! Thank you so much Shirley!
Shout outs and Hugs for the Gifts.. love u guys!
Best viewers anyone could ask for! Thank you so much! 🧡🤗💚
I agree 100% w/the comment on checking out Simple Living Alaska!!! They forage so much from the land it’s amazing. You will be shocked at how much there is around you that you can harvest. I love your videos. I look forward to watching them every week!!!
I do watch Simple Living Alaska! They make some fantastic videos! I definitely have a lot to learn about mushrooms so until then, they can just stay on the ground! So happy to hear you are enjoying my videos! Thank you so much Heather!
Rhubarb are awesone with berries in a pie.
A nice strawberry and rhubarb pie just can't be beat! 😁
I love rose hip tea 🥰🥰🥰
I do too! A very nice flavor and a healthy addition to the tea! Thank you so much! 🧡🤗💚
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska I also wanted to thank you for the window idea for the birds. I live semi rural and they do crash into my windows in the spring. Thanks for the tips! Stay safe and take care-Debbie
@@OurBucketListHasHoles I saw a couple TH-camrs doing this trick and all you needed was a yard stick and a highlighter so I said why not! So far it seems to be working. I was probably getting at least one hit a week. I guess they didn't always die though. So far no hits! WHEW! Thank you so much Debbie!
Enjoyed your chapter of your video cant wait for the next Be Safe and God Bless from Albuquerque New Mexico
Thank you so much Veronica! 🧡🤗💚 I think my Thursday video will be on Friday AGAIN! I've had no power now for the last 6 hours! 🤪
I love the pretty fire weed. It's hard to believe you will be knee deep in snow soon. So glad you can fix stove now. Be careful and safe alone. Have a blessed week.
Fireweed is a very pretty plant indeed! And who knew it was so tasty too! Knee deep and then some soon! But I am looking forward to snow! I mean it is Alaska! 🤪 Wood stove will be fixed ASAP! Thank you so much Carol! 🧡🤗💚
Alone you have such a beautiful face I’m noticing it on the camera the light blue eyes with the platinum hair is so beautiful. I have no idea your age I’m going to take a wild guess and say mid to late 40s. I am 59 turning 60 and look extremely young everyone is different I have no gray. And I stay out of the sun 24 hours a day with sunscreen which is hard to do of course. But I wanted to say how beautiful you are and your lifestyle is amazing I am so happy for you and love to watch the channel.
I bet you sew your clothes??!❤️❤️
Ahhh thank you kindly Violet! As for my age, I stopped counting at 26 But no gray hair yet! I have to dye my hair but have been platinum blonde since high school. My eyes are hazel green. More of the Irish side of my family. Oh and yes I do make my own skirts and dresses. Will make more once I get all my stuff from storage soon. Thank you so much for the compliments Violet!
I always love the bloopers at the end, they make me chuckle!
I will definitely continue to add them then! Thank you so much!
Iam beginning to think miss alone lost a day someplace..for me her Thursday video comes out on Friday..hehe
Thanks for the laugh tho..I busted out laughing over the it come back comment..ide love to see the look on your face when you saw that bird on the porch..bahahahaha!!!
Mushrooms are nothing to take a chance on..be very careful.
This video was timed perfect tho.the last 24 hours has been rough and has gotten to me..I was sitting outside by my firepit when it come up..I feel little better now..thanks miss Annie alone..
PS. Instagram cough!!! cough!!!.. hehehe!!
Yeah I wont deny I have been late on my videos posting mostly on Fridays recently. This is the time of year my work just gets a bit busy so it has set me back on some weeks. The bird was at the bottom of the steps over to the right a bit. If it was center on the step I would have been freaked out! And yeah, it will take some time for me to get used to mushrooms. I don't want to take any chances! And hey you just can't beat sitting by a fire pit! Glad my video helped out twobears and I promise to get back to IG ASAP! Thank you so much
Loved your outtakes… hilarious!!!
My husband and I are coming to Alaska for the summer in 2023. Can’t wait! I have a feeling I will be begging him to purchase property so we can stay. Thanks for letting us take a peek into your beautiful Alaska life. Blessings ❤️
HA! So happy you are enjoying the out takes! I get them on every video but just started adding them in regularly. Watch Episode 22! Just tell your hubby you want to go look at this great AirBnB and then ....spring it on him! Actually you wont have to because you both will absolutely love Alaska! Once I got here, I knew I was home! Thank you so much and I really hope you enjoy your trip! Or your property!
Definitely ask the locals about your mushrooms.👍
Gnomestead made a full one hour video (pinned comment) about the boletes which helped out A LOT! Saved that video into my watch later list for sure! Thank you so much Ron!
Excellent narration each word corresponds to each subject you are referring to. And the concentration is amazing and while driving. The lavender color is beautiful and music. Very much appreciated. Hoping my words to you make your heart glad as you do on a grand scale. Very much appreciated. Thank You. Until next time
Ahhh thank you so much Josefa! It is always so nice to hear when someone enjoyed my video! And you are always so kind with your comments! Thank you!
✌❤
Thank you so much!
Awhh my gosh i love your pantry and your shelves. Girl you live Amazing out far away. I heard about birds hitting windows. My parents lived out in the country and my daddy build planters in front of the windows plus marked his windows just like you did.
I love watching all your videos, stay safe and take care of yourself. God bless you and your beautiful dog.
Oh just wait until I get the larger pantry built out! I do love living out here! It is a dream come true for me! So my plan with the planters and window marking must be a great plan especially if it worked for your dad! Thank you so much Cindy! It is so awesome to have you along for my journey!
Hi Alone! We love foraging for wild edibles. Your tea recipe sounds delicious. We are catching up!
Alone, you can use WD40 to remove sticker residue from just about any surface. I collect antiques and a store owner shared the secret.
Another great video with beautiful scenery! Thank you!
Thanks for the tip!
@@dorothydemaree7544 it works every time on antiques or anything made of wood or glass. 😊
WD40! I only have about 16 cans of it around here! I will definitely remember that PRO TIP! Thank you so much! 🧡🤗💚
Somehow missed this video last month. One year I lived in the Yukon we had a 2-DAY Fall!!! Then it snowed...and winter never looked back! I've picked rosehips for decades but dry them whole and use in teas. Cool thing is, they grow all over the continent. Loved this video. Here's to a great Fall and Winter ahead. 👍😎🇨🇦📷🐾🪶
Glad you found the video Marian! I love fall so much but for only two days 😫 Of course we have had non stop rain here for over a month! Snow will be welcomed! Normally I dry rosehips and dry them whole as well. That would not have made an interesting video though so I thought I would try my other method. It makes the tea stronger. But sometimes too strong! 🤣 Thank you so much Marian! 🧡🤗💚
Just started to watch your channel…you are such an inspiration!.
So awesome you are joining my journey here! Thank you so much! 🧡🤗💚
It is great living in Alaska where roses grow like weeds!!! Be very very careful with mushrooms. So easy to confuse them as many look so similar as to fool even experts.
Absolutely! I really don't eat that many mushrooms anyway but it would be good to know. And I love that so many berries just grow wild here! I will still grow some in my berry patch in the garden. Thank you so much Dave!
Foraging guide for sure
Yup! I am on it! Should make for some great reading in winter! Thank you so much Marti! 🧡🤗💚
I loved your bloopers! Lol made my up at 1:00AM in the morning… can’t sleep day! Lol
So glad it helped Cindy! Thank you so much!
Seeds are great
Thank you so much! 🧡🤗💚
I'm in North Carolina and a third of a maple tree in my neighborhood has already started to turn colors. I believe we will have a very early winter, and it will be colder than usual. Alone - I loved this video...the scenic drive, the story about the bird and it being brought back to your doorstep (someone in the comments said it was probably Sasquatch returning it to you) and I agree. Immediately I knew having it brought back was not a detail to brush off. There's a reason for everything. Nothing in this world is haphazard. Loved your tea recipe. Those antioxidants are crucial for our health. And loved your bloopers. All in all a great compilation. I'm enjoying your life - thank you. Stay well and look forward to the next video installment. 🙂
I do love fall! It is the perfect time of year in my opinion. And the colors are just so awesome! As for the bird, when I saw it by the front door, I immediately thought it was another bird but upon checking the other one I placed in the woods, it was gone. And this one was bleeding out the same. I was a bit confused when I saw it and then trying to figure out how it got there was just baffling. So happy to hear you are enjoying my channel! And the bloopers happen every time I film so I figured why not just throw them at the end. Many people click off before that part Thank you so much!
Hi lovely Lady! Those were not Portobello's. I believe they were Hawks Wings that were getting old. Your right about Boletes that stain blue, very toxic. One tip I can give you is to never eat uncooked mushrooms. Cooking them can help eliminate something that could upset your stomach. On line there are many sites that can teach you about various mushrooms. Know Your Land on U tube could help. I have made rosehip tea and add a raspberry on occasion. Until next week........stay safe.
I had seen them briefly before the drive and was thinking about the possibility. After doing some research when I got back, I realized I was dreaming! And I read something about portobello mushrooms are cultivated not grown wild. I do not like raw mushrooms anyway! I will definitely check out Know Your Land! Thank you so much Brenda!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska Know Your Land can help you on tree, plant and mushroom identification for sure. I only pick 6 wild mushroom types that I feel are very safe. Don't want to go on a unplanned trip if you know what I mean. Stay safe and wonderful blessings dear lady.
@@brendahone2509 I would be happy with 2-3 mushroom types but yeah no "trips" needed here! LOL!
Elderberry has a lot of amazing health benefits. Sadly due to usda issues most can not be talked about because they don’t want the average person competing against big pharm. herbs are amazing. I am learning the Alaskan herbs slowly. Some I already knew. Most do not know but I owned a tea herb and spice company for a while. Always enjoyed talking herbs and tea with people. So much misunderstood info on herbs. Keep the videos coming. Loving them.
Oh yeah Elderberry is something I definitely believe in 100%. Same with most medicinal herbs. It's funny to because many of the big pharma stuff originated from the herbs! And you can make all the herbs you like! You had a tea and spice company? Very nice! Do you miss it? Medicinal herbs is something I plan to study harder this winter. I do plan on having an herb garden and a medicinal herb garden. I know it grows everywhere (sometimes) but I'd like to have herbs free of moose urine! Sounds like you have a bunch of topics already for your TH-cam channel! Thank you so much Rob!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska yes I miss it to a point. I always enjoyed teaching people about the herbals. My ex was a Dr of Oriental medicine so I learned a lot from her as well. Mostly the Far East herbs which seem to be like western. I still keep a lot of herbs and teas on hand. I intend to build a green house just for medicinal herbs.
Look at you go, medicine woman!!! I love it, your bloopers were so funny. 😂
I'm no help at all with your mushrooms, if you knew how I felt about them you probably wouldn't talk to me. lol
I know that sheer curtains will deter birds from hitting your window, but they would block your view a bit. I'm interested to see if the markings on the window help.
Take good care girlfriend, scratches for Kenai. 🌸 🌸
Medicine Woman Wasn't that a TV show or something? So happy you are enjoying the bloopers! I crack myself up watching those sometimes! The mushrooms will remain on the ground for now. I do want to learn them just in case but I am fine with the Portobello and button mushrooms from the store! the highlighter lines I put on the window seem to be working but it wasn't like I was getting one bird a day so its hard to tell. I will do whatever in necessary to prevent more collisions like that! Besides that loud thump kind of scares me a bit when it happens! Scratches given to Kenai and now he lifted his head wondering why I stopped! Your turn! Thank you so much Lynne!
I clicked, I watched and forgot what I was going to say. Thats a pretty big window maybe a few nail boards on the ground to keep Bob the Bear from coming to see you. Never saw a tea bag squeezer before always used a leatherman. Going to see if I can find some more Fireweed blooms , they got away from me and bloomed out really fast. Wanted to make one more batch of jelly. Watermelon berry is next and last for the season.
Good to know I am not the only one that forgets! I will be making some bear mats for each window very soon! I know the bears are going to start getting grumpy soon! And hey a leatherman works just as good! Better hurry on the fireweed! I need to check if my property has watermelon berries. Never had one! Thank you so much Jim!
I felt the smallest chill of Fall air yesterday morning. It’s still over 100 F here in Texas during the day, but I felt the change is coming.
OMG 100F! I can't even imagine but if it was hotter than that, any small drop in temp would be a relief! I love fall! Best season of the year in any state! Thank you so much!
Only one…😂😂 love to see you foregoing and the use’s. I’ve never went that extravagant on the rose hip tea. Just drop them in to some boiling water seeds and all for 5 minutes and stain.😂 I’m to simple.
Looks powerful…😉
Have a wonderful night..!!
I have used rose hips the same way. I guess my way is to make a concentrate! A very strong concentrate!
I’m in New South Wales Australia and I had terrible trouble with birds smashing into my windows and killing themselves. Everything I put on the windows etc was a dismal failure. Finally, out of desperation, I got online and bought a fake hawk. They’re specifically designed to keep birds away. Made out of a tough durable plastic. I just suspended it from under the eaves. That was about 17 years ago and there hasn’t been 1 bird death since. Works an absolute treat.
I have seen the fake hawks and owls at the store and just figured they were for gardens. Knowing me I would hang one up and then try to film it for you wondering why this hawk never moves! I will do the plastic hawks or owls if nothing else works. Heck even the small convenience store carries them around here! Must be popular! Thank you so much Raelene!
The tea sounds go good!
It really was delicious! Had two cups! Thank you so much Leilani!
I miss Alaska!!!!
Alaska misses you Martie!
Hello Black Monday here, 😄 yes was gonna mention this, utilize ALL yr surrounded beauty. Syrup, honey, pain med, inflammation, vitamins, so on. I love making rose water for my face.
Always nice to see u and what u bring. Huggs. Khe-9..😍
Well I can certainly say that your new channel name is something we ALL can relate too! Love it! I will certainly be utilizing plants for everything I can and plan to have a medicinal plant area in my garden area. And plan to make all kinds of tinctures. Thank you so much!
I have a big 4 by 8 facing the bush we had the same problem so we put lick and stick black birds on it and never had a problem again but it's not in the sun
I have heard that those bird pictures work! I am looking into all kinds of things to keep birds away from the windows! Thank you so much! 🧡🤗💚
We had that issue as well... birds getting fooled by the window reflection. I put some vertical tape on the windows (never horizontal as birds think they can fly through the gaps) and it has solved the issue - no more dead birds :)!
Hopefully my diagonal lines will work! Other TH-camrs have done it and they say it works but we will see. I will do what I can. Thank you so much Amanda!
Hello again Alone in remote Alaska. Yes,as soon as I noticed this new post I was anxious to watch.enjoy seeing the scenery and how you walk around with weapons to protect yourself. Enjoy.good luck.stay safe.maybe you could hang a flag near that window to alert wildlife of its presence
Hello there James! It is always good to see you in the comments! Glad you are enjoying my videos! And it is possible I have fallen asleep with my gun belt on but don't tell anyone! A flag! Now there is an idea I hadn't thought about! Thank you so much James!
Glad your doing well Ms Alone! Oh those mushrooms at least the first 1s definitely resemble bolites, we a have a bunch of the birch bolites around us which are good. And my favorite are shaggy manes that pop up in the yard this time of year! Speaking of birds lol well at least 1s that don't fly into windows, keep your eyes out for the grouse this time of year if your interested in hunting. There super duper easy to find this time of year for the next couple of months. They like to hangout on the gravel/dirt roads and pick it for their gizzard. There VERY good eating! Just throwing that out there 😁 stay safe! And keep preparing for winter! Oh P.S. I'll have to try that rosehip tea!
Hey Josh! I have seen a grouse already but she had a brood of chicks with her so no chance I was going to bother her. I have yet to try one though. But gizzards and livers are excellent! I definitely need to brush up on my mushroom hunting skills. Gnomestead did a fantastic video (Pinned comment) on it. So that helps! I think you should do a video on shaggy manes! 🤪 I'm going to have to train Kenai to find truffles! LOL! Yah right! Thank you so much Josh! 🧡🤗💚
Have you had a frost yet? Rose hips are best after a frost. I will send you a jar of fireweed jelly. Gnomie will tell ya mine is good.
No frost yet but if you say the rose hips are better I will definitely gather more after! Ahhh thank you Rob! I am curious about the taste of fireweed jelly. If Gnomie says its good, it must be good! Thank you so much Rob!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska different areas can get ripeness at different times. I know at the homestead here the hips did not come into full ripeness until after a frost kind of like the high bush cranberries. I intend to start gathering blue berries soon. I like mine a bit tart
Stop talking about fall, I’m not ready for it yet😂 good idea with the marker for a interim solution. Hope all is well with you.
OK OK sorry Brian. So .... AUTUMN is right around the corner! The highlighter seems to be working for now. So many great suggestions in the comments though! All is great here! Good to see you stocking up on salmon! Jealous! Very jealous! Thank you so much Brian!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska it was a good haul of fish👍
My mother in law rhubarb cream pie was awesome. Lucky you.
Rhubarb is so darn yummy! I plan to grow a few plants and preserve what I can for winter! Love rhubarb pie! 🧡
The fireweed is the sign. When it flowers to the top 6 weeks left.....its past the top here already 😪 so much to do so lil time.
I cook and can rhubarb with the sugar in it ready fit crumble anytime.
I knew about the fireweed as the sign and oh yeah, fall will be here for like 2 days and then it will be winter! Time to stock up for winter time! This year I found someone who will plow the driveway so maybe I can still get out this year! Maybe! I like your idea for rhubarb! I am going to try that! Thank you so much Gnomie! And thank you for that AWESOME video you did on the bolete mushrooms! AMAZING!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska wohoo! That reminds me tune up the snow blower needs to go on the list. Ugg
So glad you liked that video. I have 2 more planed. One on Chantrells and the other Russula and Gypse 😉
It’s good to hear from you. Seems like things are going great! Thank you for sharing.😊
Everything is great! Weather is getting cooler finally! My work is still busy though! Thank you so much Joyce! 🧡🤗💚
Miss Alone,
Good to see another fine video from you.
The mobile Gazette is Redesigned and uploaded.
New content Sunday.
The Desktop will take a lot longer.
Thank you for plugging my Gazette as Ive gained views from it.
BigT,Willow Alaska
Smart doing the mobile first! I think most people do everything from a mobile anyway. Especially watching TH-cam! So happy to hear the gazette is doing well! I hope you get millions of views Big T! Thank you so much! 🧡🤗💚
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska The desktop can be viewed on a mobile device just turn it horizontal.
I did it that way,the desktop has a bit more on it that mobile.
Just trying to keep it manageable.
BigT,Alaska
@@rusticlogcabinlife9443 Very nice! It will all be worth it Big T!
Whatever animal brought you back the dead bird, it is still strange. Often birds will come back to life after hitting a window by keeping them under a cardboard box for a few minutes. It's odd that I was just thinking about this today. I am enjoying your journey, Alone. Best wishes and a hug for Kenai !
I have seen a bird come back to life after hitting a window. I thought other birds were going to kill it because as it was trying to come out of its comma or whatever state that it was in, it was all dazed and confused and several birds started attacking it. I scared them off and gave the dazed one time to get its bearings about it and it lived to fly away. I was amazed because I really thought it was dead.
Yeah this bird was absolutely dead. The part I blurred out on the video was blood and guts hanging out. I honestly think it was a raven or Ermine because I see them around the cabin. I don't think they realized the path they took with their bounty was going to cause so much confusion though! Thank you so much Mark!
@@nobodyuknow6585 I have seen Blue Jays waiting in trees next to windows and as soon as a sparrow would hit the window, they would swoop down and take the sparrow away. Sad but mother nature wastes nothing! Thank you so much!
Hi Alone, I really enjoyed this video. The scenery throughout is such a pleasure to watch. I like your sense of humor, it is very refreshing. I also see a change in you since the work on your cabin, you seem more bubbly? Anyway there is a change of something. I really appreciate the time and work that you put in your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you are enjoying the videos John! As you know, I do put an insane amount of work in each video but it is still fun! Like... creating something! And it is possible my bubblyness has returned now that my cabin has been saved and this winter should be less stressful? I hope! And it will be nice to see my son again! Thank you so much John!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska My pleasure
Hey check out Simple living Alaska on TH-cam and yes those Mushrooms are safe to eat.
I am subscribed to Simple Living Alaska! Eric and Arielle always make great videos! Been watching them since they posted their video searching for property here. They have come a long way! Thank you so much! 🧡🤗💚
Nice to see you, Ann. Time to get ready for the change in the weather.❤️🌹
A nice change to fall and then we slam into winter again! The summer went by quickly! But a lot got accomplished! Thank you so much Sarah! 🧡🤗💚
Btw, your edits are baller! And I must argue that you don't have any artistic talent. Everything you do is artistic talent!!!
Ahh thank you kindly Leigh! Editing videos is fun but frustrating sometimes! I do it for you! Everything? WOW! Thank you so much!!
I have the stickers from Amazon.. they are actually clings and go on the inside... easily peel off and put back on to wash windows.... so far they have helped a lot with bird strikes
Oh, good to know!
Well no kidding! Now that would work for me! I will check that out! Guess I should have read into them a little more! Thank you so much Vickie! 🧡🤗💚
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska your welcome !... Just make sure they say cling ...
@@vickieyoung7122 I found some! Will be ordering some if this grid thing I made doesn't work.
Just have to say you are doing a super fine job with your channel!!!
Well thank you kindly Cheryl! TH-cam, like this lifestyle, is a journey! Only TH-cam is just more vague! 🤣 I am so happy to hear you are enjoying my channel! Thank you so much Cheryl! 🧡🤗💚
Too funny 🤣🤣🤣.. Thanks for sharing.. !
HA! Rosehips are yummy but only in small quantities! 🤣
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska I've only ever had rose 🌹 hips in supplements.. for working out ..lol I have no idea what they actually taste like.. I think Alaska has been calling me for along time.. I have no idea how she got my number though..lol 🤣
Someone asked me what Rosehips taste like and I could only answer "Like Rosehips"🤣 It has its own taste. but its good stuff! Alaska has a way of doing that! I have always wanted to live here! I love it! 🧡
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska I've always wanted to live in Alaska also.. I always tell people I'm preparing to move to Alaska.. lol .. I couldn't stay away..🙂
Poor bird! Might have been your dog, that brought it back. Was he with you when you took it to the fireweed patch? Could have been a friendly fox that wanted to share with you also! They do some strange things from time to time! You could put everything I know about mushrooms in a thimble! lol Another winter is on it's way! Hope you are ready. Thanks for posting...
Kenai is never running around . He is always tethered. His tether does not go that far out. But it definitely could have been another animal. Just curious why it would leave it instead of eat it 🤔Yeah my mushroom knowledge is limited as well but I will need to learn it out here. A lot of free food! I will be going to town for another supply run shortly after my son leaves. It will of course all be on video! 😁Thank you so much
I love how you can make fun of your mistakes. You’re being smart not to eat mushrooms you’re not sure about. Love how you made your own rose hip juice. That’s good stuff. Hope the yellow lines help with the birds. I live in a suburb in Ohio and every week birds fly into my window. BTW cats are notorious for leaving dead animals as gifts at your doorstep. The cats in our neighborhood have left me a dead mouse. My mom’s cat often left her dead moles, mice, baby bunnies. I wonder if you have a wild cat of some sort who left the dead bird at your door.
Ha! and those are just the ones I will show you! I make mistakes filming ALL THE TIME! Figured I might as well add them to the videos! My TH-cam analytics show that more than half of my viewers click off before the out takes anyway! Mushrooms are out until I figure this out more. Gnomestead did a fantastic video (top comment) about identifying mushrooms! Love his channel! As for the bird, it is possible that a lynx, fox, raven or ermine grabbed it and just ran towards the house and maybe I scared it opening the door. Either way I was a bit confused. Any cat (other than a lynx) out here would not last long. Just too many animals here that would eat it. Kind of why I wont get a cat! Thank you so much Melody!
I knew a lady who made rose hip wine and it was tasty. That said, your tea looked very good and it is healthy you a person.
Rose hip tea is wonderful! I don't drink wine but I do cook with it. I wonder if rose hip wine for cooking would be tasty? Thank you so much!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska Thanks for the great content. 👍🏽
Good Morning, Thank you for taking us along on your foraging trip; and for teaching what to do with what you got. Clever idea of the yellow highlighter on the window rather than stickers... So glad that you got the needed 'cement' to fix your stove!!! Could I get you to give your recipe for your homemade laundry soap? You'd mentioned it in an earlier video...Have a blessed week at your beautiful Alaskan home...Love to you
Foraging is definitely a way of life out here and I have a lot to learn! Especially on the mushrooms! I saw another TH-camr try the highlighter and another commenter said her dad used to do that and it worked so we will see! I will get to fixing up my wood stove ASAP! Check out Episode 19! That entire video is the recipe for the detergent. Also recipe is in the description below the video. You will love it! I have been using it for years! Thank you so much Connie!
Morning from arizona. Im a lil behind. Been sick but im still hanging in. Yes our monsoon season down here been good this year
Well I sure hope everything is ok! You watch my videos whenever you can! I watch two other channels in Arizona and they have been getting some heavy rains! Thank you so much! 🧡🤗💚
Don't cell yourself short Gnomie! You have amazing artistic talent in the form of making videos that are not only educational but entertaining. Talent and skill😉
Rose hip is one of my favorite teas. So good and good for ya! Do you have pineapple weed in your yard? My second favorite besides Irish Breakfast with mint 😉
From here on out the word will be Annioxidents! Grammer cops beware lol
Ahhh thank you kindly Gnomie! I do try to make videos educational and entertaining and if I am lucky, humorous! You just have to smile sometimes out here! Love your videos because it's like watching a TV show. I am not aware of pineapple weed but I will go searching for it! Always good to have a nice selection of wild tea's! You have to ENUNCIATE Gnomie! Annie-oxy-dents! Thank you so much!
The bird reappearing at your door could've been the 'hairy ones'. Be careful putting out things that they could perceive as a gift. When the gifting stops, they get angry.
Wild Alaska has so much--looking forward to seeing what else you forage.
My first guess too. They may leave small glyphs, twisted , woven sticks or grass and leaves. Then you know it's them.
So I wonder what it means if it returns the gift? I certainly understand why they would assume I was leaving them a gift though. I will have to be more careful of that next time. Foraging will be a big deal for me until I can get my garden built. Even then I plan to plant many of the same items I forage for in the garden. Like a huge berry patch. Thank you so much Evan! 🧡🤗💚
Twisted or woven grass? 😲 Um .... no comment! 🧡🤗💚
I've literally tried to put myself with you lol!!!! People are so good, still.
But will you still when I am shoveling snow?! 🤣🤪 LOL! Thank you so much Donna! 🧡🤗💚
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska of course I will be lol!!!
Beautiful scenery. Australian fireweed is yellow and highly toxic even on yr hands.
Wow that's pretty toxic stuff! Do you have another flower you can make tea with or jelly? Thank you so much!
@@AloneinRemoteAlaska yes. We have wild mint and a native lavender. Our fireweed kills cattle too. Australia is full of fun things
To remove gooey residue (and that includes jar labels and price stickers), squirt some lighter fluid onto a rag or paper towel. It dries quickly leaving nothing behind. You can also simply wash the surface afterward. This can be used to remove residue from glass, plastic, wood or or metal, because lighter fluid won't damage the surface. On raw wood, it will penetrate the surface in the same manner of any other liquid.
Jeez - the bird was back. That was sort of Pet Cemetery.
Fantastic Pro Tip Mike! Thank you! I just so happen to have some lighter fluid (although I cant remember why 🤔) Yeah the bird was back! 😲 Nothing on the security cameras either! Thank you so much Mike! 🧡🤗💚
