@@ramonsalcedo6893 thanks Ramon ....dang that sounds cool!!... I'm really into medicinal uses for native herbs.... especially for Arizona ... my home state ...I grew up in Phoenix...man I wish I could learn this stuff ...making sandals out of yucca sounds really cool.... actually watch a video about how to do it about 6 months back ....so I've heard that you can make hair shampoo / detergent out of yucca !!!!! I wish learn this things Ramon because I believe the United States is gearing up for a big collapse unfortunately.....I hope I'm wrong but at any rate I like the idea of living peaceably with nature .... fishing and hunting.... growing my own crops.... currently I do passive gardening, meaning I don't do a lot of pruning, I let the plant decide how big it wants to get, that kinda thing

[@jodyhakala-ristow7014]

More on ALL of what you spoke of!! Yes. Medicine is all over this earth 🌎 we need to utilize the plants, get the wisdom and pass it on to the children.

Excellent, video with useful information. I appreciate the reverence shown by our Native American brothers and sisters to nature, much for us to learn and embrace .

Good information. My newest favorite sonoran edible is the red chuparosa flower. It tastes just like cucumbers.

I go hiking alone and once saw the birds fighting over the saguaro fruit in a june july morning. I saw the bones of a saguaro and its spirit must have talked to me, i used it to take down some fruit and omg it was DELICIOUS and beautiful in color.

Thank you for sharing this most important information and education regarding desert vegetation. A most excellent presentation.

[@davidschmidt270]

Thank you my friend....I grew up in Phoenix and just really disliked the desert because it just seemed to me so bare and lifeless but being a little older and wiser I know see it completely different!!!

[@irasanchez1265]

I used to feel the same way, but I found leaving Phoenix helped me see otherwise.

[@danielvibez4000]

It is a simple place, but yet has so much knowledge.
