This week I try my hand at wild foraging in the forest. Will I be able to find a safe meal, or will I pick something poisonous? The aim was to find enough calories in the forest to suffice for a full day.

@@ThatGamer11 yeah. but unfortunately the experience will be underwhelming as i believe some plants are really disgusting. but i personally oddly enough like strong flavours, no matter how good or bad, so I think I could try it. it's actually super interesting, because basically, with enough practice, you can become an extremely efficient forager. meaning, you can find lots of edible plants, collect them quickly, for a low amount of effort and time. ok i realise i sound a bit funny but can't you learn to live on this stuff? of course, supplementing the forest diet with store-bought foods. but i think you'd be saving a lot of money feeding on insects and plants.

Not gonna lie this would be relatively easy here in NE oklahoma. On my 1.5 acre land there's mulberry trees, mockernut hickory trees, black cherry trees, persimmon trees, a slippery elm (Only one sapling), black walnut trees, a black oak tree, redbud trees, apple trees (we planted these), peach trees (planted these as well), some kind of grape vine, and last but certainly not least, a somewhat regular population of genuine morels. Disclaimer - I don't know much about edible plants, I just like trees. There's probably more ground plants that you can eat, and there's loads more mushrooms that I don't know about. There's also very abundant populations of squirrel, bunnies, and deer. And that's not getting into how productive the rivers around here are. I was literally eating some white bass that I caught this afternoon while watching this.

[@DH-xw6jp]

Clover, dandelion, and lamb's ear grow in abundance in Oklahoma. Cattails too if you are near water. The lower stems of young cattails are sorta like celery and the roots are hard and crunchy very similar in texture and appearance to ginger (i would suggest boiling like potatoes). And of course the cat tail puff itself when it is still yellow with pollen (and after it has dried and turned brown it makes great firestarter)

Or just pick mushrooms that do not have a poisonous lookalike. I've picked mushrooms of different kinds since I was five and I'm not dead yet, however, never pick a mushroom unless you're 100% sure it's eatable. And if you've never picked mushrooms before, you could always take someone knowledgable with you just to be sure.

One thing you can also quite easily forage (might required some effort, though) is palm tree. To my knowledge, there are no poisonous palm trees, and they all have a soft core, white to off-white color that is incredibly nutritious. The hard part is that the yield is low and it is right in the middle, which means you need a way to take the tree down and open it. And also palm trees are more of a tropical seaside plant so it mostly grows close to tropical forests.

Hey Mike, I am a very huge fan of you. I would like to say that you are my inspiration and you are my favorite KZbinr that does more that one thing (like hundreds!)

[@zodziusavas]

Wow, this one was very interesting video. I know I would suck at finding food in the wilderness. But you sir have gave me some hope. I will do my one research. I wanna thank you, and ask you more of your videos with survival skills.

That white flower one (after the garlic) is also similar to an apparently incredibly deadly plant (as I know it) called hemlock.

i wish i knew the species that grow in my area

[@sirnuggets9666]

don't fuck with wild mushrooms. If you want magic mushrooms buy vials of the spores online from a reputable source so you know what you're ingesting. It's perfectly legal to buy the spores online too. My history teacher used to tell us a story of how his brother died when he was 28 because he mis-identified some mushrooms he ate. He was a botany field expert too and he fucked up. Don't fucking touch wild mushrooms there are literally millions of species and many that are deadly look identical to edible ones. Just don't do it, not worth the fucking risk....

[@ICUP570]

@@sirnuggets9666 Totally agree. I am extremely confident in my years of horticulture/botany experience but I still would never test a wild mushroom no matter what.

[@ChuckNorrisCanSeeU]

@@sirnuggets9666 Depending on your area, there are PLENTY of edible mushroom species that have no similar poisonous doppelgangers. Where Im from theres at least 6 species that cannot be mistaken for something else at all.

[@sirnuggets9666]

@@ChuckNorrisCanSeeU I still won't try it, I just keep hearing my history professor in my head. I know of only one edible mushroom in my area they're called giant puffballs they tend to be very large and easy to spot and grow on the edges of fields after they get sprayed with horse manure. My cousins used to fry them up and eat them until my niece had some weird reaction to it so they don't really do it anymore.

[@smrtfasizmu6161]

Everytime I am reminded there are people who know exactly what plants are deadly I am reminded that one day in the past, some person had to eat it in order for the rest of the tribe to know that the plant is poisonous.

[@shadeddreamer6864]

Where I'm from there is plenty to gather both in the town/city and forest. Dandelion and wild sorrel, especially. You can find plenty of dandelion in the spring, and sorrel in the summer. Not to mention I have seen a few wild raspberries around the more rural and wooded places. I guess I'm lucky lol.

[@dreghorn007]

I used to do some bushcraft, but I'd love to be able to survive in the wild, forever. As life is getting really hard.

[@intrer8601]

[@rdizzy1]

@@intrer8601 Yup, in reality, your just switching which difficulties you have as main priorities. In the wild your main issues become food and water, rather than your job, bills, or relationships and what not.

[@bowenchristiansen5783]

Not going to lie, I gained alot of respect for you this episode Micheal. I was really impressed when you were making fire. Using the bow drill was really neat. Then I saw you do the ground steaming method and I was pretty impressed and excited. Not to many people know about that and this is right in my ball park so kudos to you for knowing this stuff. Great job man 👍

There's a ton of wild garlic that grows near me, we often go and pick it to pair with salmon. It's absolutely delicious.

this is super easy if you're somewhere like the rockies. thimbleberries, wild raspberries and strawberries, huckleberries... trail snacks!
