Materia Medica INFUSIONS The Woodsman's Expectorant 22

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

granny always said.." if you are truly sick..you will not care what it taste like as long and you get better from it" she has lots of jars of stuff for pain sickness ect..wish i knew what all she had back in the day..really learning alot from this series Dave..thanks for the posting..safe journeys

[@TrilliumWildEdibles]

I like that you explained the difference between synthesized pharmeceuticals vs. the natural state of the herb with all of its chemical constituents in tact. Well done and informative.

[@quigonreturns]

These medica vids are awesome! Can’t stop watching them!

[@rickgroshong250]

At about 8:40, Rufus was collecting his own herbs. Great series, Dave! I love this stuff!

[@E.lectricityNorth]

When Rufus poked his head into the shot, I suddenly had a thought: I wonder if you could train your pooch to find and retrieve medicines in the field? Like if you were partially immobilized from injury or sickness. He could even have it partially masticated when he brings it to you! Anyways, thanks for being a great instructor Dave, and for another great knowledge share. I am ecstatic when I look around my little patch of wilderness and see so many of the medicines from your series...they are literally everywhere.

[@montanalongrifle8411]

Dave, thanks for putting this series on materia medica together. What a great idea! I have several herbal books from writers like Matthew Wood, Maria Treben, and others, but your videos make so much more sense. I learn better this way. A good teacher makes his/her students believe they can do what they just learned... you are doing exactly that. Keep up the great work! I appreciate what you are doing.

[@Franetzky]

Words of wisdom you stated, learn 6 to 8 plants and 3 trees inside and out. I was trying to learn way to many and not grasping enough.

[@patrickbryanoutside7416]

Dave your medica series is 100% grade A stuff

[@TheMongo1357]

Dave, you have my full attention with this series!! Thank you for keeping the native skills alive!

[@joshuaespinoza534]

I love you Dave! Can't wait for July 15th basic survival class. Coming from the Bay Area California.

[@Milkman3572000]

LOVE my Swedish Mess kit, It's a work of ART!

[@jonnyboat2]

BTW, Dave, Survival Lilly recommends your books and has them on her Amazon ordering page. I just bought your Bushcraft 101, Expert, and Trapping guides for my collection and knowledge. I can't wait to get them. I live just north of Pittsburgh, PA and often wondered if there you have a school for Bushcraft. I'd love to take some courses in it someday where they offer such a thing.

[@christopherbright1048]

Glad you pointed out to be sure not to get other plants in your pickings as some that grow in close proximity can be poisonous be aware

[@aaroncole7736]

Man, you are a very well learned person. Keep it up bro!

[@treedirt10000]

That is a nice dew rag Dave and those canvass bags are a good idea. I like to use a tea ball for single servings myself, oils can be handy as well but more to carry. Thanks

[@MrBloodySerb]

I thought of doing this type of stuff but just written. My own personal book. I see many similar plants even tho I live in Serbia. Thank you Dave for setting example.

[@pastorshawn44]

Welcome to the Rufus show with special guest Dave Canterbury with Self Reliance Outfitters and the Pathfinder school GB

[@gregwright392]

What would be lost in drying the plant/flowers to use at a later date?

[@christopherbright1048]

I quite enjoy the episodes re natural remedies I am making the black drawing salve you outlined also made a salve using self heal. Keep it up buddy from the hills of WV God Bless

[@mickeyhuggins7850]

Thanks dave for teaching us these madications natural cures and such.Osiyo

[@Owuryn]

Great video, thanks for your time, and sharing your knowledge.

[@BravingTheOutDoors]

I want that new haversack. Strap looks thick.

[@nathancooper9932]

Excellent series, thank you.

[@davidharvey5672]

wow, super thorough as always. Thanks.

[@coydogoutdoors]

great vid not a lot of people know how great an infusion really is thanks for posting

[@popswrench2]

here is my "gripe" ; more RUFUS please :D thankyou all done . doin' grate , love the locust/cicadas/katydid sounds . every 14yrs i think ???

[@VRCM_Skywarn_XUSA]

The word drug is from the term..Dry Good/Dried Good. As in a Dry Goods Mercantile Store. Drying your plants for processing, storage and shipping. The term became drug...because of shorthand clerking. A dry weight of measure...coffee / sugar / tea / wheat...etc. Are Dry Goods known as schedule 3....The correct term Food and Dry Goods Administration Makes more sense...dont it? My Great Grandfather was a merchant marine and a physician and specialized in Dry Goods...with the US Army during the Smithton Land Company dispatch during the Northwest Ordinance and Louisiana Purchase.

[@robertowens5295]

thank you so much Dave you are such an awesome dude

[@karsonbranham3900]

Very well done!! Thanks for the excellent information!!

[@mac9955]

Very cool series Dave, please do some videos regarding mushrooms, just like the one's behind you on the trees.

[@canadianrockiesbushcraftal5182]

Love these vids Dave! keep them coming!

[@Readymagazine]

I truly appreciate this series. I have read a number of books on medicinal plants and there uses, but it is good to see it put to use. Thanks Dave for putting this out there.

[@shmuckmagoo]

excellent video.

[@CKKnifeandTool]

We have Herb Robert at abundance on our property and it's a great medicinal. Not sure if it grows out by you all in Ohio.

[@trynsurviven2440]

Judging by the look on your face I would say you didn't add any honey to that did you? Great information to know. I have never really paid attention to the plants around me. You are changing that. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheMongo1357]

Dave, what books or videos would you suggest for us Florida folks, regarding natural plant infusions? Thanks in advance!

[@deoccupyhawaii6268]

I thought the herbs only began the "mark" after they were used, but maybe that isn't the case?

[@JohnHlumyk]

"Golden rod is not too overly nasty." Ha, ha, bottoms up!

[@stevendgrimm]

I live in Ohio, is there a nursery around that I can buy some of the plants and trees that you talk about, to plant them on my property? I have some of the ones you talk about, but I would like to diversify my property and speed up the process. Anyone have a resource out there, they would care to share?

[@mtngoat13]

Great videos on the uses of plants, I am curious about that larger Bush Pot. Any info on it

[@Ashkloud]

Hey Dave. Love your videos. Been watching your channel for about 5 years now! Just wondering if you are going to do a video on the Marijuana plant and the medicinal properties. Peace

[@mtnarts1024]

Nice work. What is the full name of the book that you talk about in this video. Keep the videos coming. Prov 27:17

[@JerrysWoodShopandOutdoors]

Hey brother, could you do some more trapping videos??? No Matter how much I think I know your always teaching me more...

[@DavidCanterbury]

When it is in season I can

[@Cetok01]

Would it matter if you mashed the tops after cutting them? Wouldn't that expose even more surface area?

[@DavidCanterbury]

I would not do that, you are most likely to just loose liquid into the Mortis and Pestle that need to be in the medical, grinding is for dry components, would you grind the vegetables you put in your stew? Same principle, seasonings are ground, veggies chopped

[@Cetok01]

OK, thanks. Keep up the great work.

[@shawndegonia5337]

+wildernessoutfitters would this be good for a sinus infection type issue?

[@Atkrdu]

Dave- would you get into the particulars of using a mortis & pestle? It seems there's a bunch of stuff that could make a difference. Mulching up a bunch of different plants maybe having an effect on the medicinal, what to seal it with, how to know if that went bad, etc... .

[@VRCM_Skywarn_XUSA]

+Cetok01 Bruising....u said mash....it's called bruising. You basically brake it...and then steep it....strain it...cool it...drink it. Over a period of time...to hydrate...intake nutrients....and flush out the unwanted critters.

[@ekevanleeuwen8964]

Will you cover the stinging nettle in materia medica too?

[@timburks1598]

Can you dry it and use it for the winter time?

[@garyminick1050]

Dave, we're you talking to Rufus along toward the end or were you hallucinating ? lol. thank God for spell check on that last word .

[@ScurvyPerformance]

Where did you find that shirt? I'm a fan of the Cherokee and that's a nice shirt. Thank you sir

[@jonnyboat2]

Hello Dave, do you know of any plants, remedies, etc for combatting or curing Lyme disease. I love your channel. Survival Lilly referenced you and the 5 C's in one of her videos I just watched.

[@DavidCanterbury]

Do some research on Teasel Root

[@DavidCanterbury]

You could also research Usnea

[@jonnyboat2]

+wildernessoutfitters Thank you Dave, I am going to look it up right now. Have you ever heard of Dr. Richard Schulze? He's a natural doctor and has lots of products for diff things. The ingredients list on the products are great resources for making remedies. Thanks again Dave.

[@UrbanSurvivalcraft]

Check out Healing Lyme by Buhner

[@jonnyboat2]

+Urban Survivalcraft I'm taking notes on all of the suggestions. It is actually my brothers friend that has the lyme disease and I'm researching to help. I have to wonder if the plants Dave mentioned would work for other diseases that cause pain. My other brother's girlfriend has rheumatoid arthritis and I see that the Teasel Root tincture has cured other people from lyme, I wonder if it would have an effect on arthritis. If you know of anything that combats, alleviates, remedies or cures rheumatoid arthritis, I would sure appreciate the info. Thank you for the book suggestion. I'll look into it.

[@forthwithtx5852]

Could you make a more concentrated liquid and then, perhaps, bottle it with some alcohol to preserve it for the months when it is not available?

[@fullmindstorm]

like a tincture

[@jenniferbeach6166]

I would like to know this as well. Dave, please advise. Thanks!

[@treedirt10000]

Short answer is yes. Better off just extracting it down to an essential oil, stored in a dropper and added as needed. For more of a woodsman's approach you could just take a mason jar, add plant material, add grain alcohol 70-80% such as vodka or moon shine, let it sit and shake often, adding more alcohol as it evaporates. Keep in a dry, dark, cool place and allow 6-8 weeks for it to fully extract. Filter it, store it again in dark, dry, cool place and it should last years. I'm sure you can find numerous recipes online. But like I said if you have a still or the means to get one, essential oils are the way to go in my opinion.

[@markonj1]

Good Video, Thanks for the Info. Where did you get your bag or did you make it?

[@kimbrady7478]

Dave can u dry these plats for later

[@DavidCanterbury]

yes

[@johnpaulodonnell9435]

if you don't mind me asking have you tried pine needles ( green )?

[@DavidCanterbury]

Antiseptic and High in Vit C, but no where near as effective as Golden Rod for this

[@SuperJhon360]

whats the definiton of an expectrin what does it mean

[@DavidCanterbury]

Promoting or facilitating the secretion or expulsion of phlegm, mucus, or other matter from the respiratory tract.

[@SuperJhon360]

+wildernessoutfitters thank you and did I spell it right expect rin

[@markhulette6987]

[@SuperJhon360]
