[@storyhill22]

I have been watching these videos all damn day. Dude, your videos are insane. I can't even comprehend what is happening, but I love everything about it. Scientific Journals, Ph.D. level lectures, survival skills, and totally bro-ing out and being hilarious while doing it. Absolute Legend

[@aceplayer555]

It's 2am and I am learning more about mushrooms than I ever knew.

[@s.s4661]

Love to hear it

[@georgeedwards2048]

I’m doing it at 1am

[@blainetoms]

[@MasterCrafter930]

[@scp-phenomenon014]

I didn't but I thought of it

[@enocherone]

I paused it rolled a joint and grabbed coffee

[@ValkyrieSkyz]

Primordial Om same :)

[@CommonWealthSnow]

[@RygendeKat]

"I don't need a girlfriend, mother nature fucks me all the time" XD Damn you sling some funny shit, mate. 10/10 would agree. Greeting from Denmark.

[@angelc3po]

Miss ya man, this was my go to video to sleep to 7ish years ago. Cheers

[@llianneolivoreyes]

damn, you loved him

[@phil3600]

The most interesting bushcraft channel there is. Should be on TV. Very clever fella and funny. The Ali G of the great outdoors.

[@adrian8729]

This is a very good source of education and entertainment. Thank you!

[@isaacdean3779]

I love these videos, they seem so interactive because your not just showing up pictures, and you dont teach like this is a lecture or a class.

[@Wildernut]

Thanks for the heads up on Basswood Inner bark. After watching this when it came out, we finally tried it on a recent backpacking trip. Good times.

[@akinnon2000]

You really amp'ed up you content quality since the first videos man. I really like it. Professional videos and informative content served with a touch of humor and personality. You found your trademark. Good job, keep it up.

[@TheRiceKing98]

Dude, your videos have helped me train a lot of boy scouts over the years. They're great, keep up the good work.

[@naomicrook150]

Its hard to find a channel that is informative and hilarious! :) keep up the good work.

[@EatCarbs]

Very cool.. Really enjoying your videos.. Sucks you're taking the winter off.. but I hear ya. I was out yesterday and it was pissing down rain. #Badtimes Thanks for the video

[@gotsteem]

You hang around wiff smart, ya get smart. I'm subscribed. Oh yeah.

[@spidertablet]

Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge and your wideboy vocal mannerisms.

[@RM-io7qo]

A whole new and very entertaining way of looking at the different types of fungi, definitely got to watch those death caps...wouldn't want them spoiling my wild camp endeavors. Take care and mind what you put in your mouth...

[@23093034]

You are, in a word, brilliant! Especially for someone so young.

[@Thierryoutdoors]

This, Monsieur Aesthetics, is a great idea. Enfin someone who goes through.the pain of educating the masses ignorantes to the differences between champignons. Merci and please continuez.

[@AntiVaccine2]

Love dem cheeky remarks yu make! Keep up the knowledge sharing and humor

[@captmidnite8142]

just brilliant , we watch your vids as a family thing , watching this before school ,,, keep up the good work

[@BigZapfer]

Hey bro, cheers for putting all this together. The 101 stuff really helps appreciate your vids and the subject further. Informative for days lol

[@leonmyers74]

after watching you and your really good work you have inspired me to find out more about different fungi and plant life and keep track myself. just like everyone else im really looking forward to you bringing another grate video to the chanel. hope your well and thank you.

[@TheOtterOutdoorsman]

Taxonomy lessons for days!

[@mcboomsauce7922]

I live in Texas and you have vastly enhanced my curiosity in my local mycology, I remember going through military survival training and their advice was "don't eat mushrooms unless you know what the fuck you're doing" 😂. But after seeing all of your videos today [been a 19 hour binge watch, don't judge], there's a morrel about the size of a shoe that pops up every march right outside of my apartment Gonna cook that bitch for my birthday 😀

[@dalecarpenter8828]

11:24 the tree conk makes 4 feet of punk wood in the center of the live tree ! 4 feet of the log is cull ,for lumber production ! I was a timber tech, in the USFS in the 1980s love your vids !very very educational !

[@trishapellis]

In Spain they have linden blossom tea (they call it tila) that's been used as a mild pain (and hangover) reliever for centuries. You can still buy something called 'tila' in typical little tea bags in the supermarkets, but I'm not sure if it's the real thing, I haven't tried it. There's actually a Spanish classic book, of the type you're forced to read in school, called Insolación by Emilia Pardo Bazan, where the main character at one point has a hangover and has tila tea to get rid of the headache.

[@Dr.ArielArik]

Crazy fun guy loving his mamma natura ;) Cool! Loved the ending

[@outdoorhorizons135]

These videos are brilliant been watching these for DAYS 😂😂

[@thedutchpreppingsurvivalis3886]

Alfie? Why can't I see this in uploads, but it is visible in Camp aesthetics. Curius, youtube is a little awkward sometimes... Great video again. I' proud of you and me. So much information, and my brain did not explode like the death star. You are like a teacher, you're a cody lundin kinda guy. Would like it if you would walk on bare feet, wearing shorts, drinking ur willow leaf tea, in decembre. Ultimate swag, right there.

[@JamieHitt]

Another great video, Alfie. Keep them coming!

[@whoat1]

hey man I love your videos! as an outdoorsy type I have a tip for you! bring along a tapered plastic ballpoint pen cap to blow through when you're blowing on your embers. You will be seriously amazed at how much easier and faster you can make flames, even in harsh conditions. good luck and stay classy!

[@michaelfisher4408]

Sweet I'll have to give that a try my self gg

[@oliverwest7780]

can you reference a video describing this trick please? I'm intrigued

[@markcummings6856]

Or an old radio antenna, works much superior. Or those cheeky metal telescopic back scratchers.

[@0vano]

This video is funny as hell and at the same time super educational

[@mauricepaquette685]

looking forward with new vids 👍👍👍

[@sparkatorch]

I learn so much from these videos, 10/10 would bang.

[@ScrambledO]

ALFFFFFF, i stumbled across what i thought to be Laetiporus sulphureus- Chicken of the Woods. I stupid ass like me really ought to tread lightly on mushroom action, don't want to puke out my insides. But you do have a good knowledge of this stuff... any of your vids touch on CHICKEN OF THE WOOODS? Reading up, it should be one of the easiest to ID, but i am new and enjoy not chucking up my innards. Thanks bro.

[@scp-phenomenon014]

16:04 oyster mushrooms. I grew these twice, they were amazing. (we bought them as mycelium at a store in a growth brick.)

[@scp-phenomenon014]

also, a good idea for growing them: plenty of water, and taking the biggest caps off first to let the smaller ones grow.

[@rideforrestride]

I went and got a Rum and Coke, sat down an then you blew my mind! I had no idea you were such a genius! Thanks from Minnesota.

[@coyote169]

Another outstanding production. Fun an intuitive with a sprinkle of wtf art at the end for good measure. Blame the Limo tree

[@cegtech1]

Dude love the videos. Keep up the good work man. Wanted to see if your opinion on the so called "magic mushroom" (aka Amanita muscaria found in the queens palace recently. Does it really cause vivid hallucinations?

[@norfolkboys1749]

Psychedsubtance has 2 videos on Amanita mascaria

[@DAN.eight6]

Please do a vid on british mushrooms containing psilocybin. PLEASE. I did try looking when i was younger, sure i was picking ink caps though. Lime tree bark eh?? Lol. Are you a mycologist?

[@LikeTheOceanWeRise]

just dry it to destroy the toxins, low quantity it's knda like a beer of a few, in higher quanitys, yes stuff gets strange

[@ScubaDracula]

Once again, mind blown by your insight. Cheers from Ontario

[@DariusAK]

Could you make videos showing different shelters, and showing why you made them different?

[@tlenker]

+MCQBushcraft will get you started.

[@cartercamposvlogs7649]

From the way you put the death cap it sounds completely safe and we should eat more of those

[@scp-phenomenon014]

XD wat no on second thought, maybe the idiots should be persuaded to do that and earth would be purged

[@andrewfairbrother6970]

Hey Alfie !! Have you ever considered writing a book with like all your knowledge of fungus uses and survival know hows like tea recipies and shelter and fire do dads ?? I for 1 would buy a copy :) - Your Irish Sub , A.Fairbrother

[@michaelfisher4408]

I wish you would come over to Australia and do some vids here to so we Australians could learn some local tips and tricks as well! :) grate vid as alway keep it up bruv!

[@meahatyahoocom]

I LOVE your videos! Yesterday after final exams I watched the ALL day! :) you should make some more ;)

[@steverichmond3359]

Top tips for happy campers. I love it!

[@Foxiepawstotti]

I love yer vids too mate! How come you're so well versed in pharmacognocy? Eh? Funny thing I'm just at the beginning of your Mycology vid..when I was young and sprightly like you and my sister and me used to go collecting mushrooms (ahem) if any of the locals asked us what we were up to in the playing field we'd say we were doing a biology assignment on mycoproteins and that used to shut em up cos they thought you were really clever like (not that I'm not but big words tends to take the wind out their sails LOL!

[@visarbrestovci9029]

Nice one this about linden or lime as you call it. Is it safe to get the bark or inner-bark of the linden tree and not damage it or how do you secure it without cutting the tree? I can only find linden flowers enough. Will that do ? cheers

[@quercus4730]

Enjoy your educational style. Thank you.

[@t.n.wilbanks8081]

Done well. I enjoy your educational satire. You are a bit over the top. But not so much as to be annoying. I look forward to watching more of your videos.

[@wild3438]

Hi Alfie, can you also smoke the leaves of the Linden Tree or is it just strictly the 'flower and inner bark'? Thank you,

[@bakedhawaii]

Never thought I'd learn from a random guy from the uk on the internet then school ever would

[@LionheartSJZ]

Well if this isn't the best channel on youtube! Ha. Ha. Awesome stuff.

[@SaschaKyssa]

Killing it as usual. Spot on.

[@christopherellis2663]

Linden bark is great for making twine, very adaptable. Autumn in Spain, tons of the seed winging down in the wind....tilia

[@kkmardigrce]

Thanks for the Lime tree protip. Not that I'd ever, EVER try it out. Just you know, thanks.

[@HelloInterloper]

Around 18:00, think that might be a Suillellus luridus?

[@Trinity4me]

All I can say is Tillia, thanks bro, and miss your vids man.

[@rorypd]

The evil death cap, evil and agonizing.... Sounds like my brother +AlfieAesthetics

[@1acroyear1]

Great video as always. You might think about putting a piece of foam on your microphone to cut the wind.

[@--Paws--]

If this guy held a class in a university, I will not miss one.

[@ethanlong9735]

i love the enthusiasm you make these with haha

[@jamesbodington2678]

in which county of the UK do you do most of your foraging? I've only just got into bushcraft and I'm glad I stumbled across you, absolutely love your videos, so much knowledge presented with a decent sense of humour too haha.

[@Detman101]

quite the coincidence that I had a cup of tea crackin when I clicked on this video!!

[@ctbforever8614]

mate always good to watch your videos for laughs, learning, enjoying nature, and to make my day mate you need your on tv show AlfieAesthetics vs mother nature. :)

[@clayballard6400]

How do you know all of this stuff? Are you looking it up, or do you literally know all of this stuff? Consider me impressed.

[@thomasrhodes5013]

The tree is edible; cambium inner bark, leaves,[ particularly the young shoots] and the flowers and seeds. I would like to know if someone could narrow down the chemical agent responsible for its' intoxicating effect.

[@miyaguitube]

Awesome info! loved the video.

[@esotericfilms]

Arent linden flowers a type of tea? Wouldn't people be smoking the tea if it really worked? Also some extensive google searching has found nothing to support the idea that linden flowers/inner bark get you high. I think at most it's orally active. And is thus mainly used as a tea. Never heard of people smoking it. Got a big ass box of it because I like it in tea. You telling me I could hypothetically smoke that? Or is the kind in nature different?

[@TreeofLibertyDigest]

@AlfieAesthetics do you have pheasant backs, aka dryad sattle or halkwing, where you live? Im sure its a polypore ive seen you eat alot of shrooms but never a tender young pheasant back. What gives?

[@kevinatehortua396]

Why dont you show any phycidelic shrooms

[@kevinatehortua396]

AlfieAesthetics That Psilocybin mushroom

[@johndoeanon445]

I am an ecosystem management student in Canada. we have a lot of basswood Tilia americana but we also have the Small-leaved Linden Tilia cordata. I cant speak for our American neighbors but we have both.

[@kayleecrowell3350]

i've seen those smokey mushrooms! so cool aren't they?

[@funnykids66]

this man is lucky to live next to places like this. im in England and am nowhere near the places he goes. looks fun and i want to join :D

[@whocares7864]

I think the pleurotus are p. pulmonaris or more likely p. cornucopiae, not p. ostreatus, could it be? Just because you dont normally find ostreatus at this time of year, as far as I know they show themselves in winter...

[@GrimSnipingAlliance]

Hey Alfie I want to get started in camping and general survival in the woods because your videos have inspired me how would I get started I was thinking of googling local plants that grow in the woods near my house ( I live in the USA) so if you could tell me how you got started and how you gained your knowledge of fungi which food is edible and which food isn't that'd be a big help thanks!

[@tlenker]

+MCQBushcraft will get you started.

[@GrimSnipingAlliance]

Tim Lenker yeah got me started thanks man!

[@tlenker]

Grim Sniping Alliance The Forest of Dan seems to be his primary stomping ground. Not as entertaining as Alphie, but he'll get you going in the right direction.

[@fartunique]

Tim Lenker Forest of Dean, you mean lol.

[@LionheartSJZ]

Okay bro, I really need your help. That thing about smoking linden tree flowers made me curious. I mean really curious! But even the almighty google couldn't give me any further information about it or possible negative side effects of smoking it. Is it really as safe as weed? Would appreciate some more information, thanks!

[@willlangley4467]

Couldn't find Anything about it either only some things about boiling it for tea I'm really curious about it as well

[@willlangley4467]

I also won't if you can dry out the bigger leaves dry them out then take the smaller more shinny and sweater leaves dry them out grind em up roll it in a paper or the bigger leaf and smoke it I really.. really want to know please respond

[@kkmardigrce]

I found this; www.drugs.com/npp/linden.html Quote: Folk medicine has employed linden as an antispasmodic. 2 Animal studies in vitro using rat duodenum have supported this claim. The activity was inhibited by atropine and papaverine and increased by acetylcholine. The antispasmodic properties are attributed to p -coumaric acids and flavonoids in the plant.

[@oskarhviid2705]

you good sir are a hero amongst the dwellers of the internet.

Alfie, the blueish looking bolete is probably a Boletus Iodine :)

About the high thing, how much inner bark do I need bro... I got heavy eyes off of a altoids can suface area worth. (Which isn't much)

[@cookiemonster-pq2vs]

:D what tree can I smoke and eat at the same time

[@Theartfulldodger8]

You are my spirit animal man. Hungry for knowledge and you are so entertaining! I wish we could be friends.

[@flair4crafts894]

"kill you in two days or your money back" lol. You are so funny. Can you make a video about how to use a compass? I have a cammenga US Mil, but I am not sure how to use it. Do you have a video about edible mushrooms? Thanks

[@axslaps]

24:44 Well, some say Ragnarok already happed. So if Hati and Skoll are gone, then whose the elephant eating the sun?

[@adamg6233]

Hi there Alfie, I'm looking for some books or good websites to help with the ID, effects and edibility of various plants, trees, shrubs, bushes, mushrooms etc. (I'm in the UK so I would be nice if they specify plants 'n' stuff found in the UK ) Thanks :D

[@wassup3747]

pls help, is the inner bark good all year or just when the flowers are in bloom, thks

[@Disputedlegend]

hey Alfie, do you think you could do another Mycology 101 on the different groups? I really enjoyed it!

[@Arci475]

Quality entertainment. Which part of England do you roam ?

[@jannistach7142]

M8 that wash a super video ! The thigs you saw! Motha natur loves you!

[@finnhemsworth1208]

Hey Alfie, where in the great British isles did you film this? Seems like the place that I trapsed through on my dofe, either way, great vids brah, keep em coming.

[@atti1120]

ive eaten mushrooms that look exactly like that deathcap but the color of the pileus was orangy-brown

[@paulwastaken]

I enjoy learning and laughing. Q. are you recording your commentary live or post?

[@eohenry1983]

Alfie, where'd you go bro? Itching for a new vid.

[@christophersheffield9574]

the bluing of that bolete reminds me of the bruising characteristics of psylocybin containing mushrooms.

[@samhill6626]

I am very interested in this kind of thing and I watch all your videos they are a good inspiration for me but I would like to ask where you shoot most of your videos and is it private land ?

[@jackbieber7279]

Alfie how can I get an research on the sedative effects of linden/lime/basswood. I've seen online that the tea is calming. However I haven't seen anything about smoking it
