It really makes you think. Perhaps this kind of training should be taught in schools along with basic first aid?

Yep, would’ve been handier to know than algebra for example

[@shroomhead4065]

Totally agree.

It would develop self sufficient individuals who need not rely on the government. It would reverse western ideology and revert back to a native lifestyle. Granted it’s the eden we’re meant to live in but the current humanity isn’t ready for that

Ikaika Bullock so funny you say that, I think the ppl/race that will naturally endure would be the Native American Indian.

[@SurvivalLilly]

Great video. Regarding dandelion root: cut them up and put them in cold water for a couple of hours, the bitterness will go away completely and the inulin will stay inside. If boiled the bitterness will go away in 10 minutes but the inulin is soluble in hot water and will leach into the water as well. Putting the cut up roots in cold water is the better method if you want to keep the inulin :) cheers

stinging nettle is also an incredible base for pesto. Add some olive oil + garlic and the nettles have enough flavor to not need much else!

[@bevlane2901]

This is a very good introduction to foraging. I have foraged in many parts of Europe and New Guinea as well as Australia where I currently live. I teach basic bushcraft and wilderness survival in South Australia, and have done so in Victoria, the Snowy Mountains, coastal New South Wales and Far North Queensland, which are all very different environments. However, something all of these areas have in common is a generous supply of European weeds. Plus Australia has its own edible wild plants and fungi. Our native nettle, wattle seed and muntries are delicious. And wherever European timber or ornamental trees have been planted one can also find European wild fungi. While some of these such as fly agaric and death cap are a serious hazard, there are others such as the saffron milk cap and many boletes that are very good to eat. With fungi even more than with weeds, correct identification is essential. We also have both European and native morels. Do you know that many of the food plants you mention, such as burdock, dandelion, crab apple, hawthorn, elder and blackberry, can be used to make alcoholic drinks? I brew a good crab apple melomel. And the leaves of fireweed, if partially fermented and then dried in the same manner as ordinary camellia tea, make a tasty and refreshing black tea? Plus a number of edible plants such as Bellis perennis, (the English Daisy or bairnwort,) nettle and dock also have medicinal properties? It is an endlessly fascinating subject.

Loved the garlic mustard. Must have been in every kitchen garden in Victorian days. Victorian gardens etc. Great research, editing. Now finally I could say oh THATS what that is? I could be eating that? Ohh. So great. I'm a woman who lives for expanding my survival knowledge. I was even a boy Scout (co-ed at 13). Just so I could get real camping and other training. Now I'm 46 and as much a kid as ever. My son is grown, (after a while it wasn't cool to have adventures with mom). Time to have adventures AGAIN!!! Hack, he and his girl may wanna go!

[@Aaron-ud6wk]

Great video! I recommend to anyone wanting to expand their knowledge of edible and medicinal wild plants to invest in a pocket journal. This will be a great reference for when your’e out and about learning. Take your time to get familiar with a specific plant, take notes on habitat and characteristics, and draw pictures. Once you become familiar with a plant or tree, even on a spiritual level, identification will never leave you. It will be no different then walking by red peppers or lettuce in a grocery store.

[@Vladpryde]

@@peggystanford2395 No idea. Filter it I guess?

[@gresmaster2279]

@@Vladpryde wouldn't work, the salt is in the water (cant remember what its called english is not my first language), you should dig a pit put a cup in the bottom put salt water around the cup and a plastic bag over the whole pit, put a rock on the middle of the bag and wait , the water will evaporate and collect in the cup , add more water to the sad around the cup every time it seems dry and that's it, altho you will need to drink a little bit of salt water to get back minerals because the water you have just made is basically destiled water witch has no minerals , if you just drink it you will feel like you are drunk after a long day in the sun , and if nothing is done you will die, thats all the advice on the subject.

[@adzdahlman9724]

Alfie. Hello there. Delighted to find a forager not in the state's for once. I had no idea primroses or fire-weed are good to eat. Having lived off grid in many parts of the U.K. for months to almost a year twice , I've had much time to amuse myself foraging and learning - especially mushrooms , acorns and pine nuts. You are filling in my gaps of knowledge brilliantly. I used dandylion flowers in honey this year - which is steeping away in the pantry as I type. As a cautionary note to other enthusiasts ; despite repeated attempts over many years , I've NEVER enjoyed dandelion root whether as food or beverage. It is defo an aquired taste that I personally avoid - anyone expecting a nice coffee is in for a "bitter" surprise. I find the flavour sooo pungent it stays with me for hours and overwhelms everything else. The nutritional info is particularly useful. Great job mate. Subscribed. All the best. Adam.

The zombie apocalypse is actually full of food as most people turn and no longer cook a decent meal.

I remember that as kids we always used to look for dead nettles as the white flower heads (I'm sorry, I forgot the actual word right now) are incredibly sweet when sucked on the end of them, almost like honey. Great video btw!

It is basic information everyone should know. Nobody knows anything about the plants all around us and it is sad. Who knows what could happen, and it is so handy to know how to survive.

This might be the best video on KZbin about wild edibles. Thank you for sharing

[@FlowerKimonoCaptain]

You make this all super appetizing

Nice timing. About to head to Sweden for some wildcamping adventures. Good to refresh the memory. Thanks!

Good on you for great presentation Alfie and: “Carry on son, you will not starve today!!!”😊😊

[@rosstodorovic4438]

I've watched a lot of these foraging/wild edible videos. This video was very good. Thank you!!.

[@lindaboulanger8239]

Thank you!! Love your ways! Best info. Found in my search of edibles!

[@isaiahii6982]

Another good tip for any wild edible is you can dry any part out (leaves, flowers, roots, Etc), and grind it down to make flour; which can be used to bake bread. You can also make tea with them. Not all will taste great but it's a good way to fill up your stomach faster with a more dense material rather than just trying to fill up on roots and leaves.

Not only is the video awesome, the kneepads for foraging trick is *genius* - Thank You !!

I am amazed more and more with each passing day by the greatness of God and what He (They) have provided for His (Their) children.

[@louannhuber2651]

This is true. Also a shout out to the early people who experimented eating these wild plants, then documented nutritional value.
