When you read butt wipeing, and see the fire sticks... and think it makes sense, that's how you know you've been here for a while

[@darrellwillis4871]

Dude, I did like a 1000-take reading the video title and was convinced this is just butt wipeing

[@SilencerNate]

This video should have been made a year and a half ago when TP was selling for $20 a roll.

[@nejitentenlee21]

From the way things are going it’ll be that much again soon

[@hunterjensen3945]

When I was a forest monk we would used the dry stalk as a hand spindle. You would use the spindle on a soft wood board and with some vigorous spinning you'll get a little baby coal. All that is left is to dois blow the coal into life.

"When I was a forest monk" excuse me

[@ahmedjaber86]

I mean that's a cool story, but I feel like you skipped over a much more fascinating one.

[@nte0631]

I literally jumped for joy when I saw this video!!! I've been on a big scam school/modern rogue binge lately, and also on a mullein videos binge as well as foraging. The fact these two things have now overlapped is so exciting for me!

[@russrh]

i love that Brian's first thought is roving surveyors hiding in the bushes and marking the land to claim eminent domain over the Modern Rogue HQ.

[@seanhampson4126]

Annaliese should just start next time by saying she has a quest for two noble sirs. Might work better lol.

[@riderfromthewest]

I can feel this women's stress level rise as she tries to keep these guys on track.

[@zaxtonhong3958]

Jason's ungodly ability to make jokes with a perfectly straight face "Something Brian is very familiar with" "Hearthstone?" "Why didn't you just say shit ticket?"

[@tmutant]

I love that Annaliese had to keep telling them not to eat it.

[@CellTechAdv]

As a grower and many year user of this plant up here in Oregon. I can confirm this episode! I've been growing this plant in my yard for years and using it.. The one thing they didn't cover and most likely won't cover is.. It's also a lung anti inflammatory. It can be dried and smoked to help clean and sooth lung/throat congestion.. Yes, it will make you cough, but that's the point. it almost 'scrubs' out the throat and lungs and allows you to get all the crap up and out. People around here do brew it, and it's also a common additive in "herbal cigarettes" The only thing I feel I should say is.. Negative side effects of it's use is 1. If you have hay fever or some form of plant allergy, it could trigger that since it's well.. a plant.. and possible side effect 2. it just won't work. That's all. Either it will work, or it won't. I smoke it myself.. I have mild asthma, and honestly this stuff helps me. (not saying it'll help everyone. it works for me). and some days it works, others it don't.. It also loves dry places. Most common area's to find it is around railroad tracks in the rocks. and if you hit the stock. the seeds go everywhere.. I started with 2 plants I grabbed, now I have a forest of the stuff in my backyard, and I love it.

[@Blutzen]

That fucking giggle at 2:39 when she told them not to walk through any poison ivy and Jason says "No promises, Bryan's got flip-flops!" killed me.

[@bajamus69]

Cool fact about Mullin is that you can shake the seeds out of dead head stalks and pound them into powder, which will not poison fish but mess with their gills somehow and make them float to the top (this is highly illegal, please don't do this unless you're actually starving)

[@theHiddenStone]

"Use the entire buffalo" broke me XD And yes, we Brits do call it "bog roll"

[@Tunkkis]

The Finnish word for the group of these plants is "tulikukat", which translates as "fire flowers".

[@Heinzpeteromfg]

in german they are "Königskerze" - kings candle

I don't think this is what the community had in mind when they asked for "medicinal plants you burn"

I still haven't used mullein leaves as shit tickets, but I have used mullein leaf tea to treat congested lungs, and it works! Do be sure to verify that you don't have an allergy to it before trying anything with it.

[@treyward4505]

I was hoping someone would point this out. Mullein is great for your lungs.

[@DianaBell_MG]

My grandma taught me all sorts of useful wild plants, mullein wasn't one she showed me, but we had lambs ear for the TP and for bandages

[@riuphane]

"look, I've had an infant... You learn to use the entire buffalo." As a father, I think there was something missing in between there...

[@OurHeroXero]

'You don't have to fold and double-wipe' Have you seen the prices on toilet paper? I'm absolutely 'using the entire buffalo'

[@justsomerandomguy8210]

I like the idea that they are just a crazy version of Ret and Link

This plant is Amazing! You can do everything with it! Like, wipe your butt or set it on fire…. I mean anything is possible with this incredible wonderplant! Like, you can set it on fire or wipe your butt with it. There are literally Millions of uses for this plant, including butt wiping and setting it on fire. If you ever find yourself in a survive off the land situation, pray that you come across this Miracle plant. With which you can do wondrous feats, such as….. set it on fire and wipe your butt.

[@Tunkkis]

The only reason I had any idea what "bog roll" would be is because of Aqualung. In the namesake song the titular character is described as going "down to the bog" and warming his feet.

[@TwiLightVids]

The dislikers probably ran out of TP watching this.

[@Zelmel]

Wow, episode about butt wiping but also they immediately call out Rhett and Link in the first few seconds... Feels like they're tempting the KZbin gods.

[@DevinLeeGay]

> More like Rhett & Kink Dude you have no idea.

[@amorfati4559]

More if these! I am way into medicinal plants. Also, you can indeed smoke Mullein. People do smoke it for asthma, and I have smoked it for respiratory infections. That smoke is harsh, but you do seem to cough up a lot of mucus afterward.

[@The_Other_Ghost]

I usually use a three leafed plant called "Toxicodendron radicans".

[@jezzdogslayer]

i would prefer the gympie gympie

[@MakeItWithCalvin]

This is awesome, I say do more videos on it since things we see every day can have a LOT of various uses, especially in more of an outdoorsy setting.

[@lenaplays0124]

In all honesty, we don't really call it bog roll over here in the uk anymore. At least I've not heard it called that for a long time. The most common is either loo roll or just toilet paper

[@AskAScreenwriter]

I got in touch with my inner self the other day. But now that I know about this plant, I'm never buying single-ply toilet paper again!

[@spencerbrotherson9061]

Judging by his reaction when she said, "Stop Waggling it, Brian!" I have a feeling it's not the first time someone has said that to him...

[@jacktough]

Perhaps from inhaling all of the many toxic fumes over the years, or possibly from the myriad traumatic brain injuries suffered, but I feel like these guys are losing IQ points as this channel soldiers on...

Rhett, Link, Brian, & Jason should all do one great big crazy video together.

[@nilsschenkel7149]

Fun fact: German medieval botanist Hildegard von Bingen called mullein "wullein", which means as much as wooly herb (might be where the name originates?). Yet another (although seldomly used) name would be "bacon root" because the root turns red and tastes similar to bacon when cooked. -- The substance in the seeds said to be toxic to fish is called Saponin and can be used as a detergent because it reduces the surface tension of water, letting it soak into fibres more easily.

The seed pods were used for fishing as well but look and make sure it’s not illegal where you live because it’s incredibly effective to the point of population damage

[@Brandonnn9164]

In where it was used most places only allowed once a year /2 years to allow population to repair in the body of water

[@Mike-gt7sk]

can confirm that bog roll is in common usage. additionally the toilet is sometimes referred to as the bog. also: kitchen roll is sometimes called elephant bog roll or EBR.
