There are about 15 species of horsetails, all belonging to the genus Equisetum. They are divided into two main subgenera: Equisetum (common horsetails): Includes species like Equisetum arvense (field horsetail) and Equisetum telmateia (giant horsetail). Hippochaete: Includes species like Equisetum hyemale (rough horsetail) and Equisetum variegatum (variegated horsetail). Stay away.

Thank you 🙏 that was really clear.

This fruit is also available in Gurez area of jk India .

ty man

Is it sweet?

bout to be forced in the woods, so thanks for the intel boss

I love you're video's, hope you're doin alright

"survival" table?!?! It's a table. No man died in God's wilderness for lack of a table. If only I had a pretty-much level surface upon which to place things. Guess I'll die? Still a nifty table.

Charcoal is technically neutral in its pure form. It is ash that you should add not charcoal.

Thanks! I've got tons of these growing in my yard!

I love the primal nature of ur video's my brother!!! Friggin bad ass thanks for showing the world how they can survive with some experience and some drive anything is possible in life as long as u have the mindset thank bro keep on keeping on 💪💯

Now that was freaking cool.

Your son is probably never going to suffer from clinical depression. ❤😊

So what is the medicinal aspect beside the wort treatment?

how much to eat for pain relief

I'll have to grab some and make tea. We've got a bunch of that right now as well as other medicinals right now. Finally realized we have lots of "Self Heal"/"Heal All" and that's pretty good stuff too.

The flower is sweet and flavorful. The leaves are mild as far as greens go. I put them in my smoothies, as cooked greens, and have no problem eating them raw. They are a bit chewyful, but not compared to a lot of others. They are a choice green in my book. I'll have to put more attention on the flowers. 👍

let it cool

then add pine needles

what if it's night time, how do i tell the time at night?

I read a lot of manga where someone is suddenly thrust into another world, often into the wilderness or ancient times. And I have always wondered, how are they washing their hands and using the bathroom? And thinking I couldn't survive in that scenario. So I'm glad to have this knowledge in case of a sudden isekai experience. I'd also be really interested to see a culture test of how much bacteria this soap kills.

This have no flowers?

God forbid the pharmaceutical industry says a flower is poisonous

Yellow wood sorrell is my favorite plant to just grab and eat... You have some purple dead nettle right beside your knee as well. Another great plant

Those are not very well made.Its nice that you made a video but primative arrows don't need to be made in amature maner.Check out Shawn woods arrow making

Would the soap create some lather in water? Wished you could have shown that bit too.

Good to see you don't edit out parts where others would to make it look better. Appreciate the tip.

We are not native americans.

thanks Chris!

"It's amazing how many things you can use charcoal for." I think you just found the premise for your next video. LOL.

Those look like Honey Locust thorns. People claim They’re poisonous here.

Saw a kid from China on a short, he used thorns like these to hold his chicken an cook with his chicken?

I wonder what can you use beside pine needle

I enjoy mine. Got me into molle and camo gear.

Real question can i clean my ball and ass with this?

Uhh..your dog is on a Squatch!!!🤔😳

great stuff! for sure i will use it. credits goes to you Sir

Ur dog look alert about something it keep looking at one direction, I would be scared even with people around me in the woods ur brave

Charcoal is not very alkaline and thus it cannot convert fat into saponins. You need to add campfire ash to the soap as well if you want to make actual soap. Careful not to add too much, because then it will be too alkaline and will burn your skin and make it dry and prone to damage and infection. If you accidentally add too much and notice your soap burns your skin, you can melt it back and add some sour fruit or plant juice like suring or redwood sorrel juice to balance it out. Add horse chestnut meat, husk, and shell pieces to your soap(you can take them out after boiling) to make it more effective. The same can be done with Yucca leaves. You can also make your soap into antibacterial and antifungal soap by adding yarrow, mugwort, and/or umbellularia to your soap. This type of soap however will be bad for your skin if applied oftenly and should only be used to cleanse wounds/hands after particularly dirty tasks.

Awesome video! Thanks!

Make sure your pot is stainless steel and NOT aluminum. If the pot has any AL in it, your ash/water mix (homemade Lye) will dissolve it.

Nice video. Most people don't realize most greens are well above 10% protein per calorie, which plenty for human needs. Don't fall for the protein hype, this has been debunked repeatedly!! Check out Dr Greger if you want to see the science.

Did you light a fire in there?

Good to know

Great content. Thanks for sharing this knowledge. I recently moved and have a huge tree in the back and have been researching the many uses. Good stuff. Thanks.

Hi I loved these video and I will continue watching your others but I was wondering if you can show how to make alcohol if possible to use as a disinfectant if someone gets hurt

thank you! Are the leaves and stems edible? Can they be used as tincture and tea?

Just saw this and it's 8 years old. I didn't even have internet! Anyway great presentation of true wilderness soap. My question is amounts of each? Trying to estimate watching it looks like 3 tbs fat, 2 tbs needles, 1 tbs charcoal and 2 tbsp water. There was some water added to lye and some in the pot. Not sure of those amounts maybe it doesn't matter but wanted to get it close

It's easy to spot the differences in the 2nd year of growth. I wish you'd show the 1 yr plants. No flower makes it tough to tell the differences.
