Catch and Cook Wild SPECKLED TROUT | Fish & Forage FOOD in the FOREST! | Stinging Nettle, Marigold

I FISH and FORAGE for FOOD! Nature provides a complete meal including natural spring fed brook trout, wild leeks, or ramps, marsh marigold, and stinging nettle. I will use primitive stone tools to prepare the fish for eating in the forest.

I cook the fresh wild trout over the fire using only a stick and stuff the cavity with wild edibles including stinging nettle, marsh marigold and wild leeks for a 100% foraged meal.
Stinging nettle is common to creek beds are is marsh marigold. Wild leeks are commonly found in hardwoods, but each wild edible is a spring harvest.
To prepare the trout, I will only remove the insides rather than cut all the way up in order to leave a pocket for nature's bounty.
The best kind of primitive cooking, is the simplest, just a stick and you can call it primitive technology. The trick to cooking over an open fire is to get a big fire and let it burn down to coals before gently smoking the fish.

*Jay of Vision Quest Outdoors makes the knives. I have about 19 full episodes that I'm working on right now for Season 3 of The Wilderness Living Challenge filmed in South Texas with Bob Hansler. Hang tight!*

[@dylannance7225]

The Wooded Beardsman go check out duck river beard company on Facebook

[@adamfriebele3625]

Im so hyped for season three!

[@MrPaulluma]

Nice! Bob Hansler knows his stuff too.

[@Wildernessquestoutdoors]

The Wooded Beardsman thanks for the shoutouts man, I’m glad to see you’re enjoying those stone tools.

[@tribebassin2703]

the fact that you read every comment is what makes this channel so great!

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

I do my best...lost a few comments while I was away, can't catch up!!!

[@SleazyMouse]

Jokes on you it's a beardbot

[@LeahMcNeir]

♪ hide the onions in the fish, hide the onions in the fish ♪ lol

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

:)

[@Wildernessquestoutdoors]

One of her favorite parts apparently. Lmao

[@jorgeruffolo9413]

just about to type that XD

[@xanderortiz]

I’ve been watching your videos for a little over a week now, and I’m trying to watch them all as I am able. I have a lot of respect for you for the things you do and for the time you take to teach us. I love your stance on life and your logic behind everything. Having said all of that, this is one of the best videos you’ve done (nothing will ever beat the series of you camping on frozen Pond Lake or the 3 hour video of when you guys paddled up it) because it is so apparent that you took a lot more time to explain things that you’ve done in many videos but kind of just skimmed past. For example: the stingers on the nettle. You’ve eaten it so many times, but I believe this is the first time you took time to address that they still sting you personally when you pick them and that the stingers fall off after cooking. I kind of figured all of that was true, but it needs to be said and heard. Thanks for all that you do. I can’t wait to start making my own fire from a bow drill as soon as I get a free moment.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Yeah, you're right. I need to think about this from someone seeing it for the first time, and I often don't. But when I do thinks once or twice, I remember that it's new for people. I'll keep doing more like this.

[@HaggardOutdoors]

So a few months ago I got into bushcraft and survival outdoors, but rewind i grew up in the city and followed the wrong path with the wrong people so the next 10 to 15 years i was in and out of jail or on the run. Almost ending up in prison, I needed a change and then my step father passed, he was into the outdoors big time. This pushed me to go out to the woods and see what I could do. I started watching your channel, Joe Robinet and many more. So I started my life changing path and started a youtube channel. It has had a huge positive impact in my life, I just had a daughter i'm in college and my channels doing good, So what i'm getting to is that you have helped me transform my thoughts and actions, So thank you for all you have done without knowing it, I have seen and been thru things people 3 times my age, so to get out and find inner peace has helped me as a person, your a great guy and thanks again, stop by my channel and maybe say Hi, or something it would mean a lot, take care my friend. P.S In my latest tag video I tried making some of the tools you have been using, but I lack flint here.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

That's a great story man. I'm happy to have a small part in that...but you did the work, so you deserve the results.

[@HaggardOutdoors]

The Wooded Beardsman your right, but as an influence you deserve major respect keep up the great work my friend.

[@myrtlesyd9451]

I like how the fish was cooked. Cool video.

[@adamfriebele3625]

Two of my favorite things; fishing and foraging. Thanks for the video Beardsman!

[@SqueepJuggleson]

Nothing better than being out doors and enjoying nature’s ingredients for food

[@jamesireland9188]

Content is always amazing never disappointed. Don't know why anyone would give this video a thumbs down and don't know some are negative in the comments. How can you not enjoy hos vids he is always upbeat and positive definitely one of my favorite channels . Have a good day and stay safe Jimmy from Massachusetts.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Thanks Jimmy. Everyone likes different things and that's okay.

[@johnlord8337]

Try my John-pole. Never carry a solid, break-down, or tenkara pole again. Have a small carry box with reel, fishing pole eyes, and velcro straps. Go out into the bush, and cut a long branch to length for the fishing pole. Cut the tip and slice "X" toothpicks into the tip. Put the eyetip onto the "X" toothpicks, and velcro strap the toothpicks in place, holding the eye tip tight. Slightly notch and place the other fish eyes onto the pole length and velcro strap tight. (You will have previously sliced a small cut into the velcro strap to push the fish eye through and superglue or melt the slit edges). Carve out a notch on the bottom of the limb, place the reel plate into the notch, and velcro strap in place. String up the fishing line, lure, and bait. Viola !!! A wilderness fishing pole w/o grabbing all the branches, snapping your pole, etc. Have a large fishing set (fishing pole eyes) for the larger salmon, muskie, pickerel, ... and a smaller fishing pole kit for trouth/bass/pike/walleye. When done fishing, you can place the fish onto the limb, and have a hobo fish-carrying pole. Place the fish over the fire, skewered on the limb. Eat the fish, clean up the fire and eating area, and leave (recycle) the tree limb at the location. All green, tidy, and pro-recycling. Pack up your small 3x3x3 fishing kit into its container and return it to your ruck.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

You got so many tricks John, you should write a survival book!!!!

[@johnlord8337]

Tricky John, yup thats my name. I just need enough financial independence and then get up there with y'all and get out into the brush and bush ... and then we would see some great survival fun ....

[@davidpieratt]

love the fact you show and tell us what is edible. Main reason why I think your the best bushcrafter on youtube. Your actually bushcrafting with the wild and not bringing 100 bucks worth of groceries from the store like some of the other bushcrafters are doing. All wild...love it!

[@najakacarter2381]

A real person who appreciates and respects nature every video is done professional and with only use for what is needed nothing more nothing less.... Keep the content coming.

[@MrShannonite]

Young nettle leaves make a great hop replacement when it comes to making beer.

[@CoastalCarpentry]

These meat/fish videos with wild edibles are great! Thanks for always producing great content man!

[@samihuovinen2572]

Finland is another good place to go into the woods and catch some fish and cook it up

[@Ryan-kx6qw]

21:35 I like these kinds of like talking moments, tells a lot about yourself.

[@xeddtech]

Nomnomnom love trout. Fond memories catching these and frying them over a fire

[@DXMagician411]

"you can feel free to subscribe or not, I don't care" I think you just became my favorite youtuber.

[@capnpunkin233]

I clicked this forgetting I already watched it once and I've got an observation. Your best work is the Wilderness living Challenge Season 2 (the whole damn Season, no joke I can rewatch that whole thing twice a year), not because of the end goal, but because of how creative you get in sourcing out different edibles and how those edibles are prepared, I find that variety between episodes brings out a sense of complexity and adventure. The Stone knife and that fold out Saw are good but the Grohmann Trout and Bird is particularly Iconic, be sure to use that too. Cooking is also an important part of what you do. I recently watched Studio Ghibli's cartoon 'Kiki's delivery service and was enthralled by the sight of a Hadoc Pot Pie (or something like that), It sounds delicious. And adding such creative dishes to your menu and sharing your experiences with them should make for better episodes. P.S. Hope you keep a big stock of Beaver whenever you can get it. Good for the environment. Perhapse people should call it River Pork or something, "COME N GET YER RIVER PORK, SWEET N JUICY HOG-ON-THE-WATER!" People 'd probably eat Beaver more often then.

[@Arkeze]

When I was around 10, I live in the U.S. and I went to a Native American reservation as where me and my family live, have co-existed with the Native American Indians and an elder chief made a very very sharp arrowhead that was shiny and black, which I think is Obsidian? It was the size of about half a foot long, by 3 inches wide. He also made another one that a shiny rusty brown color that was very sharp as well, I don’t recall the stones name, it was even bigger about 7-8 inches long by 4 inches wide. He gave them to my family. I never understood how precious they were until I got older, and after watching your videos I wanted to turn them into knives but I can no longer find them, maybe in a storage container somewhere.

[@Wildernessquestoutdoors]

Cody Columbia the rust color is probably a type of obsidian as well. Obsidian is very sharp but also very delicate. If you try to use the longer ones as knives, be careful with pressure, they break. If you want sturdy knives use chert/flint!

[@Arkeze]

Vision Quest Outdoors Yea I think you’re right! I remember the edges shedding little thin shards a bit, cut myself a few times.

[@Robbie_S]

Amazing fish skill man. Glad you took for your family as well. I hope they enjoyed it. Cheers bud.

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

Solid👊 I love trout. That's exactly how I use to cook them. Cooking up some catfish tonight 👍

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Good stuff Ray!

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

The Wooded Beardsman indeed it is

[@James-uk4xi]

The commentary on your food preparation is hilarious. Your "Hide the onion in the fish" song is pure gold. "Hide the onion in the venison" was really good too but for some reason the fish one is just better.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

LOL

[@christophsarcher6240]

Best survival channel on youtube, just saying.

[@Wildernessquestoutdoors]

Christoph Sarcher and on television as well.

[@marshaeversole1757]

This guy is so cool and thankful. Awesome channel

[@jjs811]

You never disappoint with your videos. Thanks for sharing

[@mattdarwin3978]

I love the editing mix of your commentary over fishing so you don't end up with an hour long video great work keep it up!

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Thanks Matt. Trying to keep things flowing.

[@andrewaguilar5766]

Am I the only one who thinks his videos are relaxing and calming

[@joshbabb7470]

This is the most educational bushcraft channel out there on the subject of wild food. Keep up the great work. - Josh

[@brendoncca]

Awesome setting... One day we will make it to Canada to fish the rivers and streams in Bush crafting manner

[@jeremeythomas2089]

Very nice. The brookies in the mountains here have pink meat from eating crawdads.

The tail on small trout get nice and crunchy like a chip, so tasty. Best part of the fish.

you are doing that which is meaningful, that's why it feels like you're a real -boy- man

[@Jaytheraptor]

You know someone loves their community when they see every comment on their videos 👍 Love what you’re doing

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Thanks Jay.

[@1fanger]

Wild caught trout. Wow. You are indeed fortunate. By the way, stinging nettle is rendered harmless by just heating the leaves on top of the food. Not necessary to boil them. Steaming to a certain temp seems to work. Thanks.

[@loganshin6899]

Surprisingly i get savagely hungry watching you videos. Love your work, really cool and unique content.

[@Herjust2nice]

You're such a genuine guy! i love it!

[@littleplipplop212]

Can't wait for season 3 of the wilderness living challenge.

IMO, the best looking fish. And one of the best tasting!
