You may not be telling us what to do but you should. That is a dialed set up. Spartan. I need to step my game up.

[@randym8963]

It's amazing how we have progressed with packs and packboards.

[@alaskagoldhunter]

Excellent detail and planning. I could use some of these methods when prospecting for gold and future prospecting for mushrooms.

I would buy some baskets

Hey I'm a part-time commercial picker in the states just wondering if you guys ever have a problem selling your dried because of all the Chinese dried morels in 2019 my buyer couldn't buy my morels in August or September because of all the Chinese dried I sold them to that buyer but like 4 months later wondering your thoughts on the Chinese Morel cultivation and subsequent worldwide competition

[@paulchao167]

I am interested in buying some of the baskets if you happned to order a shipment in please let me know.

[@ericgriffiths2632]

Great video.. can you do one of the dryer please

[@northernwildharvest]

Yes, planning to have one on building a dryer soon (there’s many viable ways of building one.) Separate from that we will eventually have a video on the actual methods and science we use while drying.

@@northernwildharvest that would be awesome we have nothing like that in Michigan... We tried using reg dehydrator just didn't seem good on the morels.. our hobby growing into a business very high demand talking 80.00 lb retail 30.00 to 40.00 wholesale buyers looking for hundreds of pounds..

@@northernwildharvest big fan btw me and my son watch every single video probably 20 times.. we live off the land no lawn just gardens.. over 200 honey bee colonys .. fish hunt raise food .. we eat store bought food kinda gross get use to eating fresh.. started grafting chest nut trees as another buisness they say chestnut is the next almond.. they say when the American chestnut died out it's worse natural disaster in America history

@@hootervillehoneybees8664 Awesome. Always a good thing to be self sufficient when possible!

And also what us that extension on the bucket? That red pull strap? Really smart

[@northernwildharvest]

Yeah the bucket extender really helps, especially during rain or when you’re full and have to go over rough terrain. Most of the serious commercial pickers would use them during the 1980’s matsutake boom because #1 pine mushrooms were extremely valuable, a stick poking the veil and down graded a button was a serious money loss.

[@nicktroendle7692]

Yes i would love to know where to get baskets. Here in the midwest i can't find them an i been looking for 10 years.

[@northernwildharvest]

We have to order them by the container and it costs a substantial amount of money. Currently we don’t need an order but next time we make one we will have a surplus of baskets and i’ll make a community post about it.
