Great video ! mulberry jams are the best.

Hi - very enjoyable video - thanks. When it comes to acorns, here in the UK we have something called the a 'Mast' year - this is a 5 - 10 year cycle for oak trees(and other nut bearing trees;- beech, chestnut etc). This is on a particular year when the oak tree creates an amazing abundance of acorns and coincidentally causes a boom in the population of small mammals, like mice etc. More importantly, it guarantees some acorns will be left over to survive this 'feast' and grow into new trees. Here in England, in the County of Hampshire there is a large protected area(112 sq Miles) called the NEW FOREST where wild ponies, horses and cattle roam free to forage all year round. But as acorns are poisonous to horses and ponies we have something here in Hampshire in autumn time called 'Pannage' - when farmers(small holdings - referred to in the U.S. as homesteads) will set all their pigs free to roam(ringed noses - to limit soil damage), eating all the poisonous acorns(600 pigs today compared to10 times this in years gone by). The whole idea of this ritual is to obviously fatten up the pigs(for Christmas - the traditional slaughtering time for most animals in the past) but also to protect the horses and ponies from being poisoned from a consequent colic like illness. This ancient 1000 year old tradition use to occur all over Britain, but the New Forest today is now one of the few places in the UK that this still occurs. As I live close to the New Forest it is always endearing to drive through this ancient countryside and see all the horses and ponies in their natural environment, and then in autumn dodging the big fat pigs rummaging on the roadside - all quite surreal.

"Dinosaur" legs...lol...you fell for the dinosaur lie!?

Thumbnail looks like a poop patty 💩

i dont like to waste time, and this was a good use of mine, thanks

My question : do you have to do anything with their hooves?

Every cop in 2024 should watch this.

Lot's of books im pretty sure some are overlapping, can you like post which would prolly overlap a lot of these?

What is a reliable website for ordering semen straws?

I have 13 chickens and I live on 2 acres in upstate NY, I've had them for a few years now. Starting to look at the possibility of having a goat or two, they'd be just pets pretty much. Just love having the animals around. Is there anything that is a concern? Like for instance when I was naive and though you could have multiple roosters, I was told they were hens but I found out quickly when they started fighting each other lol.

Chicken poop gives you feedback… lol get it 😂😂

Well then I guess I know what I'm adding to my squirrel pot pies for a little texture.

Love this!😊

Looks like baby poop. I'll eat a squirrel

This is a misleading video. I wish that you would have been showing us what they look like in the winter ground or frozen.🙄

I ate the inside of an acorn once. It looked like cheese but tasted bitter like a chemical

Khalea from South Africa, I just started with gardening and preserving foods. ❤ Thanks a lot

Informative thank you

A few of the things I've done in the city: Grow veg in my community garden Save and start seeds Forage Juneberries, crabapples and mulberries Make and can blackcurrant jam Make quick pickles Make kimchi Dry fruits, veg and herbs in my food dehydrator Can crabapple applesauce and jelly Can grape juice Can pickled beets Freeze surplus veg in freezer bags Compost on my porch (worm composting) Grow all my own garlic Make sourdough Store bulk grains and beans Grind wheat for flour Participate in a CSA and preserve the surplus Make hand lotion and other personal care products

We have in millions the oak trees the acorn nuts wasted every year from us but we don’t know the benifts of acorn nuts 😢

So you can only make flour with it?

Would love to see new videos being made. This is an exellent channel and I would really enjoy it to continue.

I think I will leave them to the squirrels.

I have a hen that is losing weight. She acts off quiet messy bum feathers but vent is ok. Comb looks nice eyes are clear she lets me pick her up which normally I cannot. Shes lost a lot of weight. She is an Amber White

I was inspired and decided to gather some acorns while walking my dog. After getting home, my wife asked me why I had brought our dog’s poop home. And that’s the story of my acorn forging journey in life.

People who call grass dumb are being dumb. There is nothing wrong with grass. I am sure other alternatives can be great in the right places.

100% spot on! Great video!

Great video.

Can smashed plantain leaves be applied onto the swollen parts of the body? I just grew some plantains in the garden. My mother used to boil plantain to cure urinary problem.

i let it grow wildly now

California had approximately 200 tribes before Europeans. They are all EXTINCT now. (Warning, California causes cancerous behaviors)

My concern is that 1 I am a kid which means I can't spend much time with the goats and 2 I live in Beeville Texas which means I dont have much space for the goats

I bet those pancakes taste amazing with medlars

Finally a video that's not just wh0ring products! Thank you for the awesome info from a total noob

This is so great! Thanks!! 🌿

God bless ❤

I literally don't do anything to my lawn. Came with the house. A robot mower keeps it short and as long as it's green-ish and not a complete eyesore, it can do its own thing. This far north watering isn't really necessary, even. For me, the lawn is by far the least maintenance option. It's all the other rampant growth everywhere that's driving me mad and growing and I can't even sic a robot at it.

Very informative video. When I have to pick out chickens from the hatchery, I like to take some time to observe and pick the ones that aren't fearful. I push them back with the back of my arm toward their legs in a sweeping motion and see which ones come back towards me or hop over my arm, and from those I then avoid ones that are overly assertive or seem stressed. Basically I select for "well adjusted"chickens, and not the strongest or the weakest, but try to get the ones that aren't bothered. It's never failed me yet.

I tried to do this and a horrid beast crawled out. Good thing the beast is edible!

I have a couple of questions. If I boil them to leech them, won't that cook them and hinder their flavor after the leach process is finished? And I tried storing them once, and they all had worm holes in them. Can freezing the acorns in shell before using kill the bugs, or will that ruin the acorns?

Amazing video, I'm new to foraging so this helped a lot with the basic principles. Thank you for the recommendations and guides :D

I hate to tell you most people don't have a wood stove !

My silkie rooster is getting weak please tell me something Even he is not roosting because of weakness He is just sitting whole day

Valerian is a European plant naturalized in the United States that has gorgeous tiny pink blooms. Its use goes back as far as Galen and Plato. The entire plant is edible, its roots known especially for its calming almost sedating quality, often encapsulated and marketed as a sleep aid, but it’s much much more. The flowers have a slightly sweeter taste, but are still musky like the root. They make excellent tea, tincture, infusion for calming qualities and oil infusions. You can also just grab a small cluster of flowers and chew them, which was my first experience with the herb. Even though I spat it out after a moment of chewing, it had its effect on me, calming my nerves wonderfully. It’s also good at soothing anger or mellowing out bad moods. Animals love the plant, and often cats will climb to get to a bouquet of valerian flowers. Love the channel! Best!

The only thing I would change is they did tend the trees and groves.

Great tips!🌿

Calorie wise, this seems like you burn more calories than they generate

I'm on my Squirrel Maxxing hibernater-male arc rn so this video was incredibly helpful. type shi.

Some really high end Spanish pork products market themselves as “exclusively acorn fed” so it’s fine to feed them to swine ha?
