Foraging in January - UK Wildcrafts Foraging Calendar

[@Walkofthewild]

You are one of my favourite channels, so chill and real :)

[@graemedevine9651]

Oh wow, thanks again, I live by the sea in Ireland it's got an abundance of life around and there's nobody about, they're all away to Tesco's.

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Sounds great, more for you then :)

[@tamsa19]

Short drone footage at the end was beautiful

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Thanks 😊

[@melissalambert7615]

The pennywort looked interesting. Partly because it's a "safe" plant to forage. Don't remember seeing it anywhere here but I'm not on the coast. Sold here for ponds and fishtanks. Maybe I'll look for it at my local pet store and grow it in pot of water. Hello from rainy Corvallis Oregon.

[@martybartfast1]

Thank you Lewis, Sir! Massive respect to your knowledge, delivery and showing us all methods we, the uneducated; should really be more attuned to. Peace and Love, m out.

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Thanks mate :)

I get a wonderful crop of Jelly Ears every year in January in a place near me. Word of warning, when cooking - expect it to behave like popcorn ! When frying it, you have to have one hand on a pot lid covering it, otherwise the stuff will fly across the room and splatter your face with burning oil. Jelly Ears have been a source of knowledge for me because I never knew how to identify Elder Trees before, and also I never knew anything about how to cook a stir fry, but now I do because of Jelly Ears.

Top class as always, Lewis, wild food foraging is fast becoming the only 'supermarket' we can trust nowadays :) .

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Thanks mate yes I agree :)

[@Fieldstudy_]

Oh man, look at that coastline 😍

Coastlines always looks better in the winter I think 😁

I pulled my own wisdom tooth! I tried mustard, clove, cinnamon, essential oils like clove, sage, eucalyptus but the peppermint oil was the best of all! Who knew?

I buy those wood ears (dried) from my local Chinese shop. A good, flexible (pun part intended) mushroom. Soy is a good addition. I see them wild a lot, but still don't pick them yet, I don't want to get it wrong with 'shrooms, or indeed, some very innocent looking green leaves that could be the "wrong one." Thanks for your lovely vids. 👍

[@skepticalgenious]

I find the foreign stores have so many herbs spices and foods unique to them. And they are the only places to find regularly.

[@AmirsAllotment]

💚 I love what you share with us. Wild fresh food is the only way to eat now. The commercial stuff is no longer food. It dosn't taste right or at all.

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Totally agree. I still buy some shop veg but it’s nowhere near as good

[@catherinewalks1207]

I really look forward to these videos and appreciated the basket of good food you had collected by the end of this one. The lockdowns caused a lot of dental suffering; I had an infected, abscessed tooth during this time so can sympathise (was told only go to the dentist "if there's pus and blood".) I wish I'd known about the use of wood avens root then.

[@vanessaevans3401]

Good to find your video,,Milfoil also known as Yarrow is a good anaesthetic for tooth ache,,all you need is to crush the leaves and apply to affected area!! Keep up the great work and information.

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Thanks 😊. Yarrow is great stuff

[@jaquesaulait]

Really good.

Would be great if you could show a picture onscreen of the “lookalikes” alongside the one you are explaining so we can see the differences 👍 Love the vids!

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Thanks Dean :). I try to include when I have a pic or video of the poisonous lookalike but I don’t always have one saved

I can 100 percent relate to the relief you certainly felt with toothache I did a similar thing and Jesus I’d rather break my leg

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Tooth pain is the worst 🥲

[@SamrackhamRS6]

@@UKWILDCRAFTS is men like to be brave but I certainly am not brave when it comes to toothache. I hope it doesn’t but if it does happen again to you I’ve found a lovely hot shower and keep you’re head under the shower works a bit 👍

[@janemc7146]

Propolis tincture is brilliant for a dental abscess if you have open access via a cavity in the tooth, or if it is a 'gum boil'. Overnight the abscess disappears. If there is no access and is applied to the gum around the affected tooth it takes longer to have an effect . It can also be used, if gargled , to stop ear ache and sore throat. I have also used it on an infected thumb wound. Info on scientific studies can be obtained on PubMed.

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Thanks I didn’t know about that. I’ll have a read :)

Thanks 😊

[@TheLewisWarren]

you mention preservation a lot in your videos, it'd be great to see a video about the ferments + pickles etc you make with the foods you forage!

[@Gik1618]

My wisdom tooth splintered when it erupted. It was searing agony - kept cutting into my cheek! They're totally unnecessary. Having them all extracted was the best decision I made! Have you ever tried Vietnamese-style spring rolls? Me and my partner are obsessed with them. They're my main reason for foraging wood ear mushrooms, as they, and shiitakes, go really well in them. I'll try wood avens root instead of clove in a Pho broth next time I make it. ;)

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

I’ve not tried those Vietnamese spring rolls but I’ll take a look 😁

[@lifewiththelightlys2119]

Extremely informative thank you 😀 I am surprised that you didn't include Hairy Bittercress as I find this is always abundant in January too. 🙂 xx

Thanks. It will be in this months :)

[@danyoutube7491]

Ouch! I've never had a broken tooth, I imagine it's very unpleasant to live with for a long time.

[@DimasFajar-ns4vb]

wow you are so lucky sir

[@Kermitthebadger]

haha, no foraging for me for a couple more months probably. everything is covered in a meter high snow layer lol

[@spocksdaughter9641]

Exceptional and your humanity shows. Bty The Jews ears I cut in thin slices with kitchen sissors to fry and yes they do jump out if the pan. Very prized by the Chinese. The origional name come to find out is not related to the Elder Tree folklore, but the old Eng word for 'Jaw'. Same root word for Jews Harp, mouth harp.

If you can't get wood avens try oil of cloves (from chemist). Just put 2 drops on a cottonwool bud and rub around sore area.

Do they use wood ear in Asian cuisine in general? They go black in stir frys
