Not boring at all. Very informative, Kevin. The University is nuts to retire you, but, it's the sign of the times, isn't it? You have many students here, my friend.

Hi Kevin. Thanks for this informative video. Keep on sharing your useful knowledge!

[@waltbrim5897]

Keep them coming. Love to learn and plus it reminds me of when a buddy of mine (RIP) that was taking plant and tree taxonomy classes, and I would wander looking to see what we could find for show and tell for his class.

Love your teaching videos Kevin. Keep up the great work.

Thanks, I have seen the stalks before but never gave them a second thought.

[@TheHappyCamper]

Glad it helped ID them. It's a cool plant

[@johnmclaughlin8015]

Absolutely Loved this lesson. Please continue to teach using the KZbin videos. 👍👍👍

Thank you so much! Much appreciated.

[@Evan_Le5]

Priceless info, I always look forward to these.

[@TheHappyCamper]

Thanks. Glad you enjoy the info.

[@terrycoughlin9900]

Awesome video, a lot of good information about mullen that I'm sure most people don't know

[@k.n.v.b1113]

Thank you for the master class uncle Kev !

[@TheHappyCamper]

LOL. You're welcome.

[@raymondcava4669]

Thank you for the video happy camper. The Mullen plant is also a substitute for tobacco I’ve used it myself many years ago

[@DDaniels1969]

Thank you for taking the time to teach. Very useful and helpful.

[@joeperry4337]

Thank you so much for this. I've seen this plant a million times, and didn't give it a second thought. I love this video, and I hope you continue to do this type of video.

[@CorinneHSmith]

A fellow naturalist student once said about this plant: If you don't think you can remember its name, then MULL over it a bit. 🙂

[@TheHappyCamper]

@@CorinneHSmith LOL

[@TheHappyCamper]

Thanks. More to come.

[@speedthetroutguy1468]

Kevin you still teach us lots of things with every video you post. I have been using Mullen for years and also use to sport the mullet 😂

[@TheHappyCamper]

Thanks. And yep, mullets were a thing back then. LOL

[@patrickstanley8655]

many thanks I am really enjoying this content, all the best from the east coast

[@konradsusiebakalarczyk267]

Great information. Well done. Keep ‘em coming Kevin.

[@TheHappyCamper]

Thanks. I have a few more ideas floating around my head. I'll have them out soon.

[@konradsusiebakalarczyk267]

@ like the one about the “right” conifer boughs to put down to avoid smelling like a litter box.

[@CGL43474_C]

I just wanted to join the chorus here, repetition for emphasis I guess. I think being able to watch stuff like this is totally awesome. I’ve made use of a ton of your info now on hikes and camping trips. I did a couple nights overnight in Frontenac earlier in November, and thanks to you Kevin, I tried wintergreen for the first time. Super cool! Friends thought I was nuts, but I convinced one other to try it, and neither of us died from it- success!

[@TheHappyCamper]

That's great. I'm glad your group tried it. Try a yellow birch twig next. It tastes the same.

[@mikedimages909]

Very Interesting. Really like this kind of information. You're a wealth of knowledge. Luv the book series. A back to basics 'series' would be great. subjects like plants, trees, knots, teas, cook systems, knives, canoe types, fire starting, gear reviews, fireside chats revisiting with people you've had on, etc... list is endless with your experience and knowledge and contacts. Keep it going Kevin! - Mike from Niagara

[@TheHappyCamper]

Thanks Mike. There's definitely lots to share.

[@ouramateuradventures]

I enjoy these very much, it'll usually watch them alone first than I get the fun of explaining things to the wife, she'll never look at a turkey vulture the same again. This one was really cool too, thanks for sharing, natures an amazing the more you understand it.

[@TheHappyCamper]

Thanks, and thanks for sharing it with your wife.

[@KUEHLKUEST]

This super cool info!! Nothin like rosy cheeks!! J & C

[@simpleforging3339]

Can you list the ways that you use mullein? I know you spoke of a number of ways it can be used. I'd be interested to know out of all the known benefits, which ones do you use yourself? Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge.

[@TheHappyCamper]

I use it for fire starter a lot. The dry leaves work really well (when they are not wet LOL). I've made the tea for my lungs. I am not a smoker but I get congested due to allergies. The smudging seems to work better though for that. Do a search for using it for a fire drill.

[@barryjosephson4893]

Give us more. Much more.

[@TheHappyCamper]

Thanks. More to come.

[@CorinneHSmith]

I once saw a small woodpecker pounding into a tall mullein stalk when the flowers were in bloom. I was surprised. What was it after? I also once read that the end of the stalk could be used as a tampon if a woman was in need of one. Don't think I would try this, myself.

[@ancientpathseeker6036]

Good morning from Alabama! My friend and I go backpacking on the AT twice a year... a week in May and a week in September...the southern sections only. We would really like to attempt a canoe camping trip. Is there an easy 4 day trip up north you would recommend...and if so what time of year?

[@TheHappyCamper]

There's so many possibilities but a few off the top of my head would be Algonquin's Barron Canyon in the fall, Killarney's Nellie Lake in mid summer, and Temagai's Obabika loop in any of the three seasons.

[@michelplourde5714]

Great video!! I've always called it Indian tobacco, so its its interesting that the smoke has healing properties. 💪✌

[@TheHappyCamper]

It has a slow burn, so it would work for a tobacco substitute.

[@RobHiggins-ok8ue]

Sad we should all know this and more. Even my indigenous friend didn't know this,or wild carrot,& chagga ect. He does now.

[@TheHappyCamper]

We all have room to learn. I love it when I spot a bird species I don't know.
