I live in northern New Mexico and do environmental field work as a geologist. We see this everywhere and my field partners always love to see if I know things about the plants we see. Can’t wait to share some of this info! We only knew of the tea and toilet paper uses. Thank you for sharing and teaching. Happy new subscriber.🎉
Thank you so much for this. I've seen this plant a million times, and didn't give it a second thought. I love this video, and I hope you continue to do this type of video.
Very Interesting. Really like this kind of information. You're a wealth of knowledge. Luv the book series. A back to basics 'series' would be great. subjects like plants, trees, knots, teas, cook systems, knives, canoe types, fire starting, gear reviews, fireside chats revisiting with people you've had on, etc... list is endless with your experience and knowledge and contacts. Keep it going Kevin! - Mike from Niagara
Not boring at all. Very informative, Kevin. The University is nuts to retire you, but, it's the sign of the times, isn't it? You have many students here, my friend.
I just wanted to join the chorus here, repetition for emphasis I guess. I think being able to watch stuff like this is totally awesome. I’ve made use of a ton of your info now on hikes and camping trips. I did a couple nights overnight in Frontenac earlier in November, and thanks to you Kevin, I tried wintergreen for the first time. Super cool! Friends thought I was nuts, but I convinced one other to try it, and neither of us died from it- success!
Can you list the ways that you use mullein? I know you spoke of a number of ways it can be used. I'd be interested to know out of all the known benefits, which ones do you use yourself? Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge.
I use it for fire starter a lot. The dry leaves work really well (when they are not wet LOL). I've made the tea for my lungs. I am not a smoker but I get congested due to allergies. The smudging seems to work better though for that. Do a search for using it for a fire drill.
I once saw a small woodpecker pounding into a tall mullein stalk when the flowers were in bloom. I was surprised. What was it after? I also once read that the end of the stalk could be used as a tampon if a woman was in need of one. Don't think I would try this, myself.
Good morning from Alabama! My friend and I go backpacking on the AT twice a year... a week in May and a week in September...the southern sections only. We would really like to attempt a canoe camping trip. Is there an easy 4 day trip up north you would recommend...and if so what time of year?
There's so many possibilities but a few off the top of my head would be Algonquin's Barron Canyon in the fall, Killarney's Nellie Lake in mid summer, and Temagai's Obabika loop in any of the three seasons.

A fellow naturalist student once said about this plant: If you don't think you can remember its name, then MULL over it a bit. 🙂
Thank you for the lesson. I’m really enjoying them and always learn something new!! Keep them coming!!
Thanks. I enjoy it.
Keep on teaching loved it
Awesome video, a lot of good information about mullen that I'm sure most people don't know
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Love the videos Kevin, never stop teaching!
Thanks. I never will.
Thank you for the video happy camper. The Mullen plant is also a substitute for tobacco I’ve used it myself many years ago
Love your teaching videos Kevin. Keep up the great work.
Priceless info, I always look forward to these.
Thanks. Glad you enjoy the info.
Thanks, I have seen the stalks before but never gave them a second thought.
Glad it helped ID them. It's a cool plant
Great information. Well done. Keep ‘em coming Kevin.
Thanks. I have a few more ideas floating around my head. I'll have them out soon.
@ like the one about the “right” conifer boughs to put down to avoid smelling like a litter box.
many thanks I am really enjoying this content, all the best from the east coast
Thank you for the master class uncle Kev !
LOL. You're welcome.
Kevin you still teach us lots of things with every video you post. I have been using Mullen for years and also use to sport the mullet 😂
Thanks. And yep, mullets were a thing back then. LOL

That's great. I'm glad your group tried it. Try a yellow birch twig next. It tastes the same.
This super cool info!! Nothin like rosy cheeks!! J & C
Thanks!
Thank you so much! Much appreciated.
Great video!! I've always called it Indian tobacco, so its its interesting that the smoke has healing properties. 💪✌
It has a slow burn, so it would work for a tobacco substitute.

Sad we should all know this and more. Even my indigenous friend didn't know this,or wild carrot,& chagga ect. He does now.
We all have room to learn. I love it when I spot a bird species I don't know.
