- Lonnie takes you to the woods and shows some of his favorite first aid plants that are good to use for open wounds, Infected wounds, fungal infections such as Athletes Foot as well as mosquito bites, bee stings and other medicinal uses. He shows how to prepare and use these plants for first aid as well. He also relates several first hand experiences on how his knowledge of plants has come in useful for him and others. He also tells stories that others have told him of how different plants have been used with dramatic results. Some of the Plants mentioned in this 2 part series are Devils club (Echinopanax horridum), Wintergreen (Pyrola spp), Willow (Salix spp), Spruce (Picea spp), Usnea Lichen (Usnea), Sphagnum moss (Sphagnum spp), Yarrow (Achillea spp), Plantain (Plantago spp), and Fireweed (Epilobium Angustifolium).

Great stuff Lonnie, your videos are some of my favorite ones to watch because I always learn something. Thanks and keep up the good work.
You have a wonderful back garden! ;-) Thanx for another great video.
Thank you once again Lonnie, your time and knowledge is greatly appreciated. You've become my favorite channel
We have the same plants here in northern bc and have bookmarked this page for future refreshers, thanks Lonnie.
Thank you Lonnie for the information and stories. Jim
The willow is a sure fire headache cure. Use just as you describe and it works wonderfully. Cambiumlayer works in winter time, too. I've used both at work many times.
Great video Lonnie
Great again Lonnie! ...amazing landscape! Thank you very much. Best wishes, Sepp
good to know and knowledge is power more info to sponge in the better :) Thanks Lonee
wonderful, informative video. thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom
The inner bark of willow makes a good tea for headaches as well. Thanks for the videos...
great Video Lonnie
I did the same thing for myself against sandfly bites with plantain. Ill give willow a shot.
thanks Lonnie
Thanks Lonnie - more good info.
your true Humility makes me proud I'm of the same species. Maybe someday I can emulate that as well.
Thank you also.
Being from The state of Maine as I can see we have several similar plants.
Great vid this type of thing is exactly what I want to learn
Thanks a lot for part 2 :)

Plantain is my go to for just about any bite or sting.
Tack så mycket for the wonderful video. I have been coming by something that is quite similar to or is Usnea, which is called reindeer moss by the reindeer herders in sweden. Didn't know it had medicinal properties as well.
Lonnie, I haven't been back to Alaska in many years and have been stuck with "neighbors" on several occasions. However, I'm envious of your neighbor problems and miss dealing with Alaskan Standards of Being Neighborly vs the Lower 48's Standards. When you apologized for, what I took to be, your neighbors kindly providing you with Ambiance Music. I couldn't tell if they were playing "A Hunting We Will Go" or "I Saw Rudolph on the Ridgeline," I'm pretty sure it wasn't "Deck the Halls with Antlers and Entrails" though, the shots were too far apart. Please enjoy the neighbors you have, they could Always Be Worse. Namaste
ps, I have both 1 & 2 of this video and several others of y'all's saved throughout about 10 different playlists. Thank you for with us your wealth of knowledge.

hey lonnie, i only used three tinder leaves and it seemed to go away.i have learned to cut back on my caffein before a hike, or just make sure i have coffee .thanks lonnie
Thanks for the video, I instantly recognized the old man's lichen and willow tree but never thought anything of them prior. The lichen looks identical to what I was handling just yesterday, though I haven't pulled any of the bits apart to fully identify it. The lichen in our yard, down in Georgia, is fairly abundant on the few trees that have it. I don't know the trees, only that they're short, dark brown, very dry, and nearly falling apart. Aside from that, the lichen itself looks and seems to feel healthy, dusty as you said. I suppose as long as the leaves or lichen of a tree or plant are healthy then the plant itself isn't something to worry about too much? Or should I be wary?
Thanks again for the vids, really enjoying everything
About like aspirin... two or three leaves. And I don't swallow the pith, just suck all the juice out. With the inner bark i have taken strips off the lower part of the limbs limbs near the trunk, good strip, maybe a foot long and an inch wide. Then just like the leaves...chew it and suck all the juice out and spit out the pith. Remember the sap is down in winter so get low on the tree and close to the trunk. Might be mental, but it works for me.
I so wish I could have found your video's sooner. The noise isn't bothering us
I tried willow leaves for a headache a couple of summers ago , it was really quite amazing, about twenty minutes later I got to thinking I know I had a migrane & now I don't! Do you have shepards purse up there? It's a really good coagulant as well! I always put mud on a bee sting seems to draw out some of the toxin, but I would also chew the willow leaves as well. Thanks for all your great videos!
loved this series of video's Lonnie but a real quick question what type of braid is that on your para-cord bracelet im very curious id like to make one like that
Glad you enjoyed the videos. The braid pattern on the bracelet is called the "Ripcord Sinnet".

Plantain works great for bug bites as well. Make tea with Yarrow for a cold remedy.
Willow is where we got aspirin and the N.S.A.I.D.s its another wonder plant! I would imagine that the salicylic acid present in willow bark would also be in the leaves and chewing them personally would have a therapeutic effect on the whole system as well as on the spot the poltice is applied to. Now the fireweed was a new one to me as I was taught by a really old Scottish lady and back in the 60's I dont think fireweed (Rosebay willowherb) was as well known medicinally by local herbal practitioners. Fireweed isnt native to Scotland but was a Victorian Garden escape, much like rhodedendrons. So I dont think it was in our indigenous herbal history if you know what I mean (I learned in the 60's as a child).
That's good
lonnie, may i ask you something. i saw some jello type sap coming from the burch tree here,can it be used.
how very interesting,the wonders of nature are amazing,i hope you dont try putting birch bark out again with your hand,that must have been quite painfull at the time(ouch).thanks for both videos on first aid plants very enjoyable.
Lonnie, would the water held in that moss be safe to drink? Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Lonnie. I had to give you a "shout out" in my latest video, hope you don't mind.

Is there any naturally available antibiotics?
The willow tree you show looks nothing like the willow tree that grows in Michigan my question is can I use my trees in the same manner
Yes. However various willows will have more or less levels of medicinal value than others.
What happens if you mix them?
matt casselberry mix what?
racoon could have pissed on it right before you got there..always boil or treat any water you drink to be safe, depending on the situation.
Make more videos
Tobacco is even better.
