Identifying and consuming anything edible, such as: pine branch growth tips, dandelion, wild rose petals, wild rose shoots, goat's beard root, spearmint, wild grape, wild currant, cactus fruit, pine tree underbark, lamb's quarters and clover were located and identified.
Plus, how to start a fire with a gum wrapper and a battery!

Glad you enjoyed it

That plant you boiled the root of is salsify. Its flower buds and flowers (before they turn white), and young leaves are delicious raw.

Not a lot of survival videos in New Mexico. But it's always a pleasure to catch one in your back yard. Thank you!

[@SurvivalOfTheFittestvideos]

New Mexico is tough to rough it in

[@Mikeisoutside]

Wow just found this! Super cool thanks for the vid! Now I know where I can practice bushcraft in New Mexico ! Just subbed!

Those rocks were rhyolite. Igneous. That whole area is the center of an old supervolcano.

Any trout in the stream?

[@SurvivalOfTheFittestvideos]

Not in this stream. Looked like a fire upstream had damaged the ecosystem of that valley

[@Silvermeow]

never go into the forest without your AR...that deer would've kept you filled for days. 😋

What’s the point if he has no fire

Guy must like sleeping with snakes and rats in that “lean to.” Wrong spot pal.

[@thetinfoilhatmanbandcarava4003]

Might as well use a lighter if your using a battery

[@SurvivalOfTheFittestvideos]

Lame, just spend the money on matches and lighter's instead of the stupid battery and steel wool. Your volume is way to low. Use pine needle's for starting a fire and buy a couple cheap tents!!!geese lame!

[@SurvivalOfTheFittestvideos]

You must be looking for camping videos. This is a foraging expedition, to practice survival skills. You won't always have a tent and lighters and it's a good idea to practice building shelter and improvising a fire. Turn your speakers up.
