Ishi Wilderness Survival, Plant Medicine & Archaeology documentary

[@jesseherbert2585]

I now live back on the east coast, but I went to graduate school in Davis, California, and explored some of the terrain around the area. I am now fascinated by bushcraft skills. After half a century on this planet, working for national labs, fuel cell companies, etc, I'm actually not that confident in the modern world's ability to maintain high tech systems we currently depend on. We are one big solar storm away from having to return to more indigenous skills and non-industrial ways of living once more...not to mention that such lifestyles are vastly more sustainable/regenerative. Could we combine such ancient life ways with technological feats like having internet and cell phones? Time will tell...

Thanks so much for making and sharing this!

[@MrRourk]

Ishi's Story is so sad. However if he died alone up in the hills all his knowledge would have been lost. Thank you for making this.

[@lizmarquez5180]

However colonialism. Ishi and his tribe and mine would be very well and alive.

Very interesting thanks for sharing...

Thanks to the Team who made this possible!

[@longBowHunterII]

so much was lost, thank you for this video.

[@SURVIVEALLChannelByHawkeBrand]

Glad it helped!

Documentaries such as this one are great for he!ping open the eyes of the young and the minds of adults whose education consist largely of information and knowledge that benefit only a very small minority ruling class that funded the Western education system at the very beginning. Despite what we were (mis)led to believe, the ancient technology was highly advanced. So, too, was the knowledge possessed by the medicineman. Sure gathering is a necessary survival task. It's the accumulated and multigenerational sharing of knowledge that demonstrates how truly intelligent and knowing the tribes were in the past. The tribes of current era may not be as successful in retaining their shared knowledge, but we can all find a way to assist in one way or another.

[@exzendar2523]

An extraordinary film!!! I read the book of the Pope Saxton (Hunting with Bow and Arrow) and learned about Ishi. it got me into archery. Thank you so much for this epic film about Ishi's land and skills and knowing, you are the heirs of Ishi and the Yahi tribe! Thank you!

[@danahsutton101]

Thank you for all the work that you all went put into this. I read about Ishi when I was a kid and I enjoyed this. Thumbs up

[@markmnorcal]

This is insane. Brilliant work. I like to remember Ishi telling jokes with his hunting partners as they celebrate the harvesting of a blacktailed deer.

[@GottliebGoltz]

What a man Ishi was. They don't make but a very few like him.

[@hansenator5000]

Great video! Thanks!

[@KujoYT]

Osiyo Brother- how did I not know that you did this video? Great work! WaDo (thank you) for sharing it. Continued best wishes to you and yours Capt (+)

[@SURVIVEALLChannelByHawkeBrand]

Thank you very much! Keep well out there!

[@dimfuturefilms9070]

Thank you so much.

[@deborahclark6254]

I enjoyed watching your video. I wish I had learned more about all the harvestable berries when I was young. We lived in an area with lots of the plants you used for food.

[@markmnorcal]

Do you know of Aunt Gemima Rock in Ishi Wilderness? It looks exactly like the Aunt Gemima syrup bottle. You can easily see it from Hwy 32 at a helicopter landing.

[@thatScoutdog]

I remember seeing this video a while back and glad I found it again and im thinking about going to visit some of these locations soon

[@markmnorcal]

I think a Aero Union fire air attack plane crashed in Ishi Wilderness back in 1990 or so. A wing broke and folded in killing all on board and starting its own grass fire. I remember seeing pictures on the news.

[@JLseaDaBreeze]

Interesting

[@nakoawarrior3186]

Very interesting.

[@markmnorcal]

I love that area. It warms the soul. I highly dont recommend going there because its steep rugged country full of poison oak and rattle snakes.

[@plakor6133]

Agree. That part of the world is really, really rough. And brutally hot in parts of the year.

[@barblk1420]

This is a great video! I feel like I was right there with you. I'd love to visit but am highly elergic to poison oak! I grew up in Red Bluff and broke out from contact many summers. I've been studying Northern CA tribes for a couple years now, and so appreciate your bringing this tangibly on film.

[@SURVIVEALLChannelByHawkeBrand]

Thank you! Don Sakal is the real master mind, and he is totally dedicated to this story and their ways. Check out his YT Page! @donsakal kzbin.info

[@robertoruscigno7126]

Thank you so much!

[@Sawdust5764]

Ishi had a wife and child with him that escaped when he was captured, I wish I could post the articles in the comments. If you look up the contemporary articles from his time of capture not only does he tell this to the translator in jail but his " squaw" was seen roaming the area for him for a week previous to his abduction

[@SURVIVEALLChannelByHawkeBrand]

Thanks for this info!

[@quincyadams06]

I have fished deer creek before

[@Centannicocktails]

Hello friend! Did the horrific Park Fire destroy Ishi Wilderness? Deer Creek? Or where you filmed this documentary?

[@SURVIVEALLChannelByHawkeBrand]

Hi, hope you're well and thanks! I don't know, you'll have to see if Don Sakal knows, he lives near there. Peace

[@kevinkline6835]

All artifact collectors are not looters. I can pretty much say that If Ishi found a point, stone tool or a cook pot he would have "Collected" it and even used it. Many artifact collectors have been very helpful in telling the Native American story. Your commentary in some points of this video try to tell people that ALL collectors are looters. Yes some collections get disposed of after the collector dies. Just like some artifacts are lost by the so called professionals. Good video otherwise.

[@SURVIVEALLChannelByHawkeBrand]

good points, but the man who dedicated himself to this study feels taking without notifying the authorities is theft. That's a fair statement, too.

[@kevinkline6835]

@@SURVIVEALLChannelByHawkeBrand When it's done illegally it's a lot more than theft. And any honest collector will only collect legally. And should not be portrayed as a criminal. Those who do loot ARE criminals and should be punished.

[@SURVIVEALLChannelByHawkeBrand]

@@kevinkline6835 A collector who doesn't report it, is a looter- period. A looter who sells for profit, is a criminal. A collector who just likes something and keeps it, are they not a looter? And if they are legal collectors, then what are we even talking about. You come a long way to make a weak point. If you're not collecting for official entities or reporting your finds to them, you are a looter. So, if you personally are a legal "collector" why are you making an issue here? I for one, would love to hear your qualifications and how you "legally" collect. Always welcome learning.

[@kevinkline6835]

@@SURVIVEALLChannelByHawkeBrand I follow the Laws of our Nation and my State and only collect on private property with permission been collecting for 50 yrs and have tried to "Report" many finds that I believed were important and have always been shut down because of the disturbed soil by farming. But when someone finds a point type that is not common for the area I would think it would be important. Or say an Anasazi pot sherd found on the plains far from the 4 corners area would be something for discussion? As far as my qualifications I have none. So you would be justified in calling me a looter in your circle of professionals. I always welcome education also. But I can't change a closed mind. If you say I'm a looter because every artifact I own was gifted to me by the land owner and not "Reported" then so be it. Sorry you feel that way.

[@SURVIVEALLChannelByHawkeBrand]

My friend, your heart is in the right place, i saw some of your collections. and i agree, some collectors help us all learn much more about our past, so all good, from his perspective as a professional, it's looting, all of it, and from yours, it's collecting, some of it. So, we have all learned and this is the kind of discourse I welcome. So, thank you! I go to follow you now, you won me over with kindness, courtesy and common sense. Much obliged! Mykel sends

[@ryanjohnston4240]

Well any artifacts i find i pick up and preserve. Why let them get lost to time?

[@FindingNorcal]

No worries of parasite ingestion when eating raw edibles?

[@SURVIVEALLChannelByHawkeBrand]

We always recommend good hygiene, cleanliness in preparation and good judgement in all aspects of the process, but there are always risks. Most mitigations make it a safe prospect on the whole.

[@arctoshorriblis]

Leeching takes two to five days if done improper

[@SURVIVEALLChannelByHawkeBrand]

Um, do you mean, to be done properly? And I do so love it when folks come on my page speaking like an expert with a judgmental tone without stating any qualifications or including any facts like- (1) It also depends on WHAT you are leeching. (2) It very much depends on SEASON & TEMPERATURE. (3) Also, CURRENT & FLOW have a significant impact on time required to leach. (4) HOW you have prepared it such as mashed or sliced, etc makes a difference. (5) WHAT you are leeching also makes a difference. So, yes, we know. But thanks for the "sharpshooting". Peace.

In elementary school our class walked the forest behind Ponderosa Elementary school in Paradise and collected acorns to smash down soak in water and eat.I remember a girl spitting it out right away all over the floor.lol

[@Mr.kayden91]

Seriously your eating while filming is a deterrent for viewing people

[@SURVIVEALLChannelByHawkeBrand]

I reckon you don't eat? You do know, a big part of survival is teaching folks about what to "eat"?

[@tmo.48]

I bet you ANYTHING that you were stuffing your gluttonous mouth while you were watching the video. That is a deterrent to your couch.
