Hey you two! Thanks again for helping to make accessible a world mostly hidden from the great majority. Thanks.
Back In my homeless travelling daze, I realized that my wild edible foraging was basically creating a situation where I actually could just eat wild edibles and only buy grocery store produce simply because I felt like it, rather than any need to. And one time, out of sheer gusto, I ate an unidentified jelly-like fungus along the beach, and nothing happed.
Wild edible plants. A WORLD of life and experience. The Salsify in my front yard I consider to be a sort of emergency food bank, and the Nettles I introduced now just magically appear each year growing intermingled with Dock, and I've shown several people how to use Dock to instantly cure the rash from the Nettles which newcomers to my garden invariably get! And now, as before, I just automatically think of wild edible plants as a premier survival option, even in context with a no-holds-barred apocalyptic grid down reality. A seemingly barren landscape can be desolate, then a few weeks into spring POOF! Gazillions of wild edible plants bursting into life and abundance, and the feasting begins.
Ever stop to consider that Rhubarb stems are a time honored pie ingredient, but the leaves are deadly? Or how about the deadly Tomato leaves? But if you really want to talk 'safety', how about the tens of thousands killed/maimed, etc in simple traffic accidents each year? So yes, we live in a deadly environment, and the mostly un-sung heroes of the wilderness plant kingdom go begging, while (like you mentioned) the real hazards concerning foods come right out of the grocery stores! Scary how MUCH sheer garbage is on those shelves. Scary how relatively few folks even suspect it.
Anyways, a great book you might already know about is called 'Tending the wild'. Certainly one that your level of nature appreciation calls for.
Be well, John, Ana, and Forest!
Don't know about "Tending the Wild"! From the title, I'm suspecting that it might be aligned with what we're doing at Goldenwood, and what you are doing as well -- bringing in species that can enrich the ecosystem but also serve as food sources. For us, it will be many years before many of the plants take root enough to start harvesting (we've planted a lot of wild leeks, but it will probably be 5 or 10 years before we harvest any), but it's such a joy to see plants begin to find their places in the fields and forests, and to watch pollinators visiting them, and to notice what animals and birds are appreciating them. Such an adventure! I'll check out that book =)
Sending love to your whole family!
Thanks for another inspiring video. 🙂
Absolutely, friend!!!
Green Deane’s new book is a great reference. I have been fortunate to attend a few of his classes/walks over the last few years. I managed to teach myself a little bit with books, videos , etc over the years but it’s definitely worth it to find a local teacher!!
I didn't know he had a new book! Will be checking it out for sure! Thanks my friend!!!
Definitely inspiring me to pursue learning about wild edibles in my area. Very cool.
Woohooo! So glad! We hope it leads to wondrous adventures!!!!
That is a great point about processed foods vs wild foods!
So much of this is very true!
Something else helpful is that when you forage, there is essentially no need to grow many vegetables in the garden. Either they come up on their own or you can find them elsewhere, and so we can focus on foods from groups that aren’t so common or reliable-I would like to be focusing more on grains, squash, potatoes, and legumes especially, since I can’t eat from the walnut family and acorns have so many off years. But it probably would be doable to stock up and subsist on wild parsnip flour the whole winter…
So funny you'd mention wild parsnip. About a half hour before I sat down to catch up on comments, we walked by a big patch! What a wonderful wild food they are =)
Great insights! Thanks for sharing!
PIZPOR!!! Ha, what a joy to see you here!!! And knowing you're back means we might get to give you a big hug again someday!
Love from the whole family =)
Found this discussion super insightful guys, thanks for sharing! I had never thought to compare wild foraging to the standard american diet (SAD) like that in questioning how many people actually get ill from what, very clever points! And well timed with the video of Mirabelle & Liliana's creations. Alex, Parker and I enjoy watching this AM. Much love from all of us
A neighbor hunted a wild boar and gave me some of the meat. I've never had hunter's meat before and I felt supercharged when I ate it!
Nice! Hunting and fishing add other great sources of wild food -- and some people are even getting into gathering insects!
@@ReWildUniversity I agree, but I'm not gonna eat bugs.
i love plants i also do think plants are great and underrated as well to me i do agree most say that trees and platns are also living being too just like we are just because they don't look like to be living beings that doesn't mean they are not living beings
Agreed, Shawn!!
Hey Kenton!
I have so many things that pop up in my yard and I’m always curious if they are edible or not and how they are medicinally. So fun to learn but most definitely can be questionable, I’m always looking up things that could look the same but are poisonous so there’s lots to learn. I would love to go foraging with knowledgeable people. 😍
Kristie, it's SO useful to have some people to go out with and forage who can share knowledge. Do you have any groups in your area? I can't remember whereabouts you live . . .
@@ReWildUniversity I live in the Portland area, so I’m sure there’s plenty out here. I just need to look. Lol
Ah, I was going to say you could email us pics in you need ID help, but a lot of our plants will be different. Still, we'll always try to be helpful if you ever want to send a pic our way! =)
@@ReWildUniversity well thank you so much! ☺️
@@ReWildUniversity even our plantain out here is different from there. 😂

Hello to the most beautiful healthy couple on TH-cam.
That hat makes a Cowgirl weak in the knees.
The weather is exactly the same here in Brantford.
I'm eating dandelions right now. I'm intermittent fasting.
I was a bad girl for only a week, and wow, what a difference, and once I hit that junkfood, I'm an addicted beast.
Thank goodness I go swimming at the ymca, so when I start buldging out of my bathing suit, it's a must to get back on track.
I'll never be perfect because I have this naughty side to me, haha.
Okay...back to the hat...
With all respect to you both.....you are bringing sexy back Cowboy. You are looking super fit. Rebecca, you look better than people in their 20s. No offense toxic 20 somethings haha.
I think humans are toxic to the earth. The thought of the majority of toxic humans going back into the earth....yuck. lol
I have posioned myself with some red berries. I felt sick, thought I was going to pass out. I was walking outside with my daughter. She was 14 and it was scary for her and myself.
Now I'm wiser. In some ways. Haha
In other ways I'm rediciuosly immature, lol.
Oh I got really sick on some mushrooms that were growing in my yard. Now I don't touch mushrooms because I just don't know enough about them.
A beautiful wise woman in her 80's who Rebecca and I know has a saying. "Everything in moderation. Including moderation."
We love how you embody that -- embracing health and vibrant living, but realizing that "being naughty" and being "immature" at times is also part of the spice of life. Sorry to hear about those experiences with the berries and mushrooms. If you ever feel like getting back into them, the golden oysters are pretty easy to ID -- you can always send us a photo via email and we can positive ID them for you!
Love,
K&R =)
And we're blushing from all of your compliments =)
@@ReWildUniversity I'll keep them coming Darling.
Have you both ever considered doing a video on the change of life? Perimenopause is such a hot topic right now and so many men need help with how to help their women. You can share both sides of how you are loving and supporting each other through this time.
You are both so healthy and we women need healthy women to share their stories.
For instance, is it still just as hard hormonally if you eat healthy and don't drink and do drugs?
We want to know what perimenopause is for Rebecca and women in healthy non toxic relationships. Not an easy find these days, haha
I'll talk with Rebecca about this -- sounds like a great idea for a podcast episode! =)
