Dude, you should put all your knowledge in a book. I would definitely buy it.

With CLEAR photographs of leaves etc, showing how the same plant can vary slightly... I'd buy one too

[@cindykq8086]

Me, too! The pictures for safe identification would be super helpful.

[@stevenweir7236]

​@@cindykq8086did y'all see the book he pitched at the top of the video?

[@leavethemkidsalone860]

Same. There is a book availabile by someone else but it doesn't have many real pictures, so I'm not buying it. Color photos with foliage and plant, and where to find, what used for, and how to process, with clear index of what and, also what for is vital. Doesn't have to be a complicated thing, even a larger version of a glossy stapled brochure would be awesome. I have something on trees that we got a long time ago as a free handout from a big box store that has been better then so many other books because of the pictures and descriptions.

[@940anthony]

As an Appalachian I have always wanted the knowledge lost since my great grandparents time. My great grandfather was the local healer, had a root cellar and if anything was wrong other than broke bones or babies then you came to see him. I've spent a lifetime researching and your channel is pure gold. Many, many thanks

When I was a little girl my cousins and I found a bush that was loaded with what we thought was huckleberries. When we told our parents they told us that it wasn't the time of year for huckleberries. They made us drink salt water trying to induce vomiting. None of us threw up and they decided we were going to be fine or we would have stomach issues. I have always suspected it was farkleberries we ate.

[@markbrandli]

Good video , a couple of stories about what in East Texas call " late huckleberry " ... at the beginning of bow hunting season every year I would go out and check for sign and my ulterior motive would be to find these huckleberries , I would pick a hat full and take them back to camp and use them in a huckleberry corn muffin and huckleberry pancakes . I did this always and it became a kindof joke but no one would say to stop ... use a Jiffy corn muffin mix and add 1/4 cup sugar ( white or brown ) or honey , 2 eggs and 1tsp baking powder , wash and add berries and portion out into 6 baking cups . The other thing is that the wood of the late huckleberry ( when you find an already dead one ) is very " close grained " and hard , it makes really good spoons and other cooking tools . also mallets for chip carving . It doesn't grow straight it twists like elm so it is stronger . I do love blueberries of any kind !! I think that I read that they also have a " natural refridgerant " similar to staghorn sumac . Have you seen any information like that . I found only one reference in Indian herbology of North America by Alma R Hutchens

Thank you for sharing this! If I ever find them while camping I’ll definitely try it! (Camping with the ingredients from now on in season!) 😊

🤯 Bro! No way! I've been puzzled about these shrubs on my property for months. I noticed their likeness to blueberry bushes about a year ago but there were no fruit. About 6 months back I was going to cut them down but I noticed the little flowers and my conscious told me to wait. I noticed the fruit coming on about 2 months ago and once again started searching online. Apparently I didn't check out the correct places or people. I wish I could run the woods with you for a weekend and see what we come across. Love the channel! And BTW, you were 100% correct about the wife type. 👍 I'd love to give the same.

When I was a kid fifty years ago in the Florida panhandle, the woods were full of huckleberries and we ate them all the time. Of course, we didn't know anything about medicinals, we just like them. We ate them every day in season. There was one variety kinda between the sparkleberry and the blueberry. They were bigger and juicier than huckleberries, but not as big and sweet as blueberries. They came in earlier than the sparkleberries.

Do you think that these sparkle berries would grow in this area? There seems to be a huge difference in just 1,000 ft elevation. I love your videos. I've noticed on some of the maps, that it leaves out the Appalachian mountains. I guess it's because of the elevation, or very acidic soil from the oak trees.
