Foraging for Wild Food

[@yvonneturner6054]

Thank you for the time and dedication to teach others about these skills

[@brownsbushcraft1204]

Another good film John, well done. Thanks Rupert

[@johnrhyder5]

Thanks for your kind words folks

[@recklessroges]

Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

[@fe3613]

Lovely video John!

[@PaolaEnergya]

Very insightful, thank you. So many plants I wasn't familiar with - then again, studying plants is a life long mission!

[@leaperrins8373]

John, I like the video and information however you are not always clear or direct enough on naming the plants. I think this could be an area of improvement thats all. Thanks.

I think this is a granny or grandads account

Great video, thanks a lot for posting it. I'm just starting to learn about wild plants and edible landscapes and found this to be quite useful. You helped me learn that what I thought was clover is actually wood sorrel. I have made a correction in my own channel's video and posted a link to this one in the description.

[@keepdancingmaria]

In case anyone is wondering, the White Man's Footprint is Broadleaf Plantain. It tastes better than the narrow or ribbon leaf variety, especially when young.

[@stevegoody3744]

Thought it was, thanks for naming it.

[@earthwormjj]

What a brilliant video,. this guys knowledge is amazing,.

[@valeriechaumeziere377]

The Pendulous Sedge may be a good source of carbohydrate in the autumn, but there is another plant, the Reed Mace or Cat Tail which is plentiful and available throughout the year. Found easily along the edges of rivers and lakes you have to pull the whole plant out of the muddy water, exposing the tangle of roots. These don't taste very good raw, but if you simply cook them in the ashes and embers of your camp fire charring the outside black you can then open up the fibers in the middle and suck the starch off. They taste really good, a cross between potato and chestnut and they are absolutely packed with energy boosting carbohydrates. BTW after the nettles you talk about White Man's Footprint without actually mentioning it's real name Broadleaf Plantain 'Plantago Major' maybe that was just a bit of missed video sound editing. A very useful plant. The Narrow Leaf Plantain, Plantago Lanceolata, can be dried and made into a tea which is excellent for relieving coughs.

[@whyhiman]

lot of really cool information ,,and how to make the most of what grows around you ,,,thanks for sharing

[@markhanlon7742]

Really good review, I wish I could identify wild edibles like that, have a good day.

[@elenaiakovleva3686]

Could you please tell us which climate you are in, so I can compare it with mine and see if I will find similar plants where I live?

[@herbalmarie2574]

Lovely foraging!

[@tellingfoxtales]

Very informational, much appreciated.

[@Cinzano296]

nettles are great , you can make soup and rope from them. good vid, would have preferred if you actually ate some of the plants though

[@thesamtest7892]

Great info I wish this was a lesson at all the schools .

[@EarlyMist]

I recently discovered Mallow as an edible. It's been growin here and getting pulled as a weed for going on 35 years. I was going to weed the patches last night and decided to check my weed ID first. Turns out..after eating 30 raw Mallow leaves last night...I have a bumper 'weed' edible crop 😄

[@retribution999]

What is the effect von the body in terms of eating these wild plants? Do they sustain you,?

[@VertigaDesignMEDIA]

This was awesome, thank you.

[@ecologygarden]

This dude knows his stuff

[@monkeywildlife7607]

Nice vids, Awesome nature.

[@LostWoodsman76]

The "white man's footprint" is in every North American yard I've ever set foot in! Nice video.

[@NorfLondonGardener]

Would really appreciate the proper names like geum or carex pendula. Great video thanks

[@meetokaur6000]

[@Sherirose1]

lovely,thank you.

[@recklessroges]

0:33 "Foliage, fungi, flowers and fruit." ;-) Joking aside, no landowner is going to miss the things that you listed here; you're doing them a favour, (as long as dogs are controlled, crops and wildlife aren't disturbed and you clean up after yourself.)

[@Revex08]

Subbed after that epic intro gtfi wildman

[@weabooedgelordiv1621]

How do you know what's poisonous?

[@darring.9161]

There are all sorts of sources in Books and Online that aid in proper Identification...or you consult with a Seasoned Outdoorsman/Forager.

[@mink33]

great info thanks

[@msms4659]

Apparently the weed we've been trying to get rid of is burdock.

[@user-ui1vb2pb6g]

he mentions that nettles have a multitude of uses and then he doesn't explain a single one. i wish he would explain some especially if he mentions how many there are

[@recklessroges]

You can eat them for vitamins and minerals. You can ret them and make cordage from them. You can dry the leaves for tea, (though fresh nettle tea is much better!)

[@SombreroPharoah]

@@recklessroges I'd recommend nettle flower pollen too. Tap the flowers out and catch it. Amazingly sweet but delicate.

[@astralaxolotl8700]

Great video but could do with more focus on the names of the plants =) Otherwise loved it!

[@lailamckinney9810]

Nice! Thank you ☘️

Im just lusting after john..so im here for a thrill

[@IanMiddletonX]

I don't think you named the 'white man's footprint' plant. What's it's proper name?

[@StreetBoi69uk]

Common plantain or ribwort

[@IanMiddletonX]

Cheers!

[@Stefan15ist2015]

who's watching these because of the collapse that is about to happen?

[@karldavis6022]

Hey man I'm from a couple years into the future. Still no collapse.

[@tourmaline1810]

Still no collapse...

[@DerekHundik]

what is the point of this ?

[@thecitizenoftheinternet1077]

Why wasting your time on finding food in the woods when there's a cameraman following you?

[@FirstDagger]

So you can watch the video and complain.

[@thecitizenoftheinternet1077]

@@FirstDagger No! What I meant was that it's unnecessary to search for food in a forest when there are 200 pounds of fresh meat following and filming you :)
