Hey Group, Sorry about the lapse in uploads, and I know that foraging vids aren't exactly crowd pleasers... Cataract surgery is set for Aug 9. Around mid June the cataract grew and became near incapacitating. If all goes well you'll see a great deal more happening on the channel in the coming weeks. This video was shot shortly after the Wooded Beardsman was here in May. Expect a medical update video this week. I've some amazing new Patreons that are helping support the channel over this rough patch. Cross your fingers and... Until Next Time.

[@jcman-lp6lg]

its okay life happens at least you told us the reason why you've stopped uploading for a while

Also whether your videos are crowd pleaser or not i enjoy everyone you put out despite everything going on in your life right now. Your doing a fantastic job. Anyway dont lose hope you got this.

[@chinesenoodles8005]

majestic ARE the thing is the south United States sun is very harsh and dry. It’s not like being in a tropical setting, you have to find shade. The sun here is so harsh, I live in northeastern Texas around Dallas and it get colder in winter. But in the summer it gets about as hot down there. In the hottest part of summer it can get 110 Fahrenheit everyday and the record last year I think was 115.

[@apollor9205]

Florida is way worse, trust me

It is a true member of the mallow family, related to Hibiscus, Cotton, Althea, and a host of other flowering plants in that family. Bob is presenting some excellent information here, all true, and the berries are good eating - a little dry, but very sweet and good.

Most insects hate hate hate the smell of a burning bay leaf 🍃 keep them around. I use it for mosquitos in my tent. Flys around my food. And fleas on my pets. Just throw them in the fire 🔥. Bam they run jk the fly away. It’s also a calming effect if you have enough of it for humans. Some spas use it. Oh and you can use the bay left in the home too for ants, termites, bed bugs, and cockroaches. I also use it for bugs that eat my indoor plants. Carful though because some plants hate smoke.

I'm from Northern Mexico I live near the border with Texas (like an hour form the river) and I recognized almost all the plants but some were new for me (I mean knowing that you can eat them). Great video, I don't see a lot of videos from these ecosystems and I find it kinda sad that people just think it's a barren land but in reality it's a pretty fascinating ecosystem with a lot of plants and animals.

[@FilthyGaijin]

About wild onions: My stepson finds then fascinating, harvests them from vacant lots by the bucket full in spring here in a suburb. We live in League City Texas and they pop up like weeds. They go great with a steak. Just sautee them next to a ribeye, you'll never regret it.

[@joshuabottoms3568]

I live in League city as well plenty of wild garlic, mullberry ,dew berry,and some kind of wild citrus the park off of 270 has plenty of these things

[@notmyworld44]

Be very careful harvesting these, though; because there is a very similar plant called Death Camass that deserves it's name. It has a small white star-shaped flower, which onions and garlics do not have. I mistakenly ate some Camass once and was very blessed that they quickly came right back up! My tummy (which is smarter than my brain) wisely and hastily rejected them. Oh, and by the way, I used to live near League City, in Pasadena TX.

[@SteakLover001]

Lived in League City almost 40 years, but never knew this. Used to run the open fields as a kid, but never had anyone to show us this stuff. Feel like I missed out. Now living in hill country/south Texas and finding these plants that are edible are a whole lot of fun, and teaching my little ones this kind of survival it great to pass along.

Love the aspect of foraging. Living in west/central Texas don’t have quite the same amount of edible plant life varieties as you. We’ve got a lot of bull nettle though. The roots are a great source of carbs like a potato. Remember growing up as a kid. Used the nopales blossoms a bit differently. We’d take out the center of the flower bulb and stick a spine in it. From there we’d use a cut down pvc pipe as a blow gun.

Gooseberries are actually a different fruit, but, in different parts of the country, the fruit of one plant may go by a different local name.

In the U.K. those, or something that is extremely similar are called Cape Gooseberry. Actual Gooseberries are somewhat different & grow on small sharply thorned bushes.

[@rondickinson3898]

I uses to think they were a weed and i had a decent patch. Now i know

[@easygrows2699]

People seem to be mixing up ground cherries and gooseberries which is understandable since both are Physalis. The differences are that ground cherries are Physalis Pruinosa, a small shrub where the fruit ripens faster and falls to the ground hence the name ground cherries. Cape gooseberries are Physalis Peruviana, the plants and fruits are bigger and take longer to ripen, and dont tend to fall from the plant, they are most commonly grown in South Africa, hence the name Cape gooseberry. There are other varieties of Physalis too, like for example Physalis Philadelphica, which is the Tomatillo, commonly used in central america, its usually harvested unripe and cooked to add to salsas etc. I hope i could help a bit ;-)

Living in that area, you need a 'snake tool' (kind of like a frog prong) for safety. But especially since you already know you will eat it if you kill it. Or some kind of bait cage might work if you are camping survival style for an extended period of time. I have never had snake but I am game to try it once! Maybe next time fry it up with some of those savory wild onions or garlic or some other savory plant to cut the unpalatable portion.

In northern Texas, your mustang grapes are called muscadine. The skin has an effect like black pepper, which is interesting with the sweet meat inside.

Pro foraging tip. Just go "in a month or two"

Living in Southern California back in the 60's there were black berries in our living area. Backyard is not appropriate. The out doors were my back yard. There were farms that made black berry pies. Now, they don't exist anymore. They're gone. New homes and modern day living has taken over. I had the San Luis Rey river in my home area. It still has names that elude to it but it's gone due to a dam and well, progress I guess. I really hope that Texas and other states do not become California. Keep nature alive. Thank you for awesome video.

This episode seems so somber. I'm always happy and at a wonder about seeing all the things nature has to offer, but it's one of those years I guess.
