As a child, my grandma had us picking dandelions to cook with her turnip greens or collard and the turnips or collard greens. She said the dandelion is good for flushing the kidneys and low iron and good for ur liver. When she cooked the greens without adding other greens, it was to flush the digestive system. We actually liked it.

[@eatwhatukiii2532]

The apple syrup was a new idea I hadn’t considered. I’ve made apple butter (which is essentially super thick apple sauce) but not made actual syrup. Grape leaves are very tasty in a salad or wrapped around rice or meat filling. Grapes sweeten up AFTER being hit by a frost. If you wait until night temps drop the grapes will be more tasty, often no sugar needed. My parents had a group of hawthorn bushes at the end of the garden (the house was built in 1820, so had a lot of odd things growing around) but we had NO IDEA they were edible! For those leaning toward sustainability, eco-friendly foraging, remember to thank the native plants you harvest by dispersing the seeds you don’t eat, or even as you did and transplant the roots so new plants will grow.

[@bushcraftboys]

thank you for the info

[@hawks9142]

I wonder if you could make apple sugar in the same way you can make maple sugar. That'd be huge because it's hard to get crystal sugar whenever you're foraging

[@sonofeloah]

Cleaning roots are so much easier when done with a tooth brush. Get more of the grit out of the crevices and use some small pruning snips to cut the chicory roots up instead of fighting with the knife.

[@releventhurt]

Would u brown or black the roots?

[@sonofeloah]

@@releventhurt: Roast them until a brown black in color. Keeping them moving while roasting helps to not burn them.

[@JesusLovesUs144]

Azri'el Collier I am not sure if it’s true but I heard that a little bit of dirt in our diet is ok. It won’t hurt you?

[@sonofeloah]

@@JesusLovesUs144: It would depend on what type of dirt it is. Some might have toxins to them. But a bit of grit is not bad. BUT, grit in with the roots when you try to grind or chop them can wreak havoc on your blades and or grinding wheel. Too much grit might make your gizzard (appendix) try to work again (after thousands of generations of not being in use) and that can be painful and in some cases even deadly.

When we were kids my sister and I and went to the country, my dad used to show us all the plants he used to eat as a kid and it was fascinating. He found wild hazelnuts, wild fruits and some other sweet tangy leaves to eat. But the one that stuck was the pine sap gum. He used to pull pine sap that was dripping from the trees and chew it like gum. It had an intense pine taste but it was so good. But man was it sticky. We couldn't wash it off our hands and we'd be stuck like this for days. lol. Fun times. I'm totally going to share your videos with him. Thank you for making these.

FYI, in regards to grinding roots like the dandelion and chicory, I found an old style manual coffee grinder like my grandfather would have used in an antique store for eight or ten bucks. I often use it for grinding herb(s)... and for camping when there's no electricity available.

I love dandelions. I used to eat them out of my garden when I was a kid, but I can't do that anymore because the lawnmowers have exterminated it from the entire neighborhood because "Its a 'weed' it's 'EVIL!' And it must be destroyed!" I found dandelion wine at a bar and it cost me $7 for a 4oz. pour... ridiculous. The world was so great when I was a kid. The wine was still good though. It tasted like childhood dreams and escapism.

While you call the chicory the poor man's coffee, in new orleans it is the orleans style coffee or simply orleans coffee and will set you back almost $5/mug. Also, just like the dandelion (the two are close cousins), the greens are great as cooked greens when older and salad greens when younger. The flowers can be fried with or without being batter dipped or used in a stir-fry. And of course, there is the wine made from dandelion flowers.

[@tiffanyvalencia8415]

[@Dplusithicus]

+OutsideFun1 Here's something useful you should know about black walnuts (and basically all walnuts in general): Black walnuts are allelopathic, meaning it will excrete harmful chemicals into the environment to kill off other plants living near or under the tree. The chemical is called hydrojuglone, commonly known as "juglone". Juglone, when exposed to air, becomes oxidized, and biologically activates, causing respiratory failure to most plants and shrubs. "juglone water" (aka, the outcome of walnut husks being mixed with water) not only kills plants, but also worms and small animals. If you find walnuts in a survival situation, you can use it's husks, leaves, and roots to catch not only bait worms, but also fish. *For instance* The water level of a river/lake rose above it's average height at high tide recently, and left a couple of fish stranded in puddles near the said water body. Make some "juglone water", pour it sparingly into your chosen puddle, and wait. Fish will begin to float up to the surface within 10-30 minutes. If not, they'll be 'unconcious', allowing you to grab/pick them up. *Confirmed source:* www.rogueturtle.com/articles/blackwalnut.php

[@valeriedelarosa7768]

Dplus_AlphaR4 is the fish safe to eat after?

[@bobjohnson2742]

yes, you can eat the fish. it is poisonous to fish, but not humans.

[@FarFromEquilibrium]

Some plants , and especially grasses, do very well with juglone. Paw paws , for example , thrive around walnuts. Rose family plants (most domestic fruit trees) can't tolerate it well at all.

[@lone6718]

Dplus_AlphaR4 sounds similar to conifers, any tree with needles instead of leaves. You can never grow anything under them, not even grass.

[@FarFromEquilibrium]

As long as there's some holes for sunlight, I can grow all kinds of things under or around conifers. Grasses don't generally like them though.

[@therugburnz]

After you stomp on the cork type plug, try using a few pipe clamps to press it over night. Tighten the clamps every time you remember. At the clamp stage you can use a bucket with a few dozen 1/4 inch holes fitted inside another pail. You can gain more than a bit more.

[@commissarthorne3894]

When I was in middle school, on my walks from home id pass a brush that had mint leaves growing in it. I would pluck a couple and eat them raw just to weird my friends out because they could never tell what or why I was eating them for. Took forever for them to realize it was just mint.

[@shannonwolff2599]

The wild grapes also make a great jelly. I use the same process to extract the juice, strain through cheesecloth and then prepare as you would any jam or jelly. The kids love it and it only takes some sugar and certo, and therefore much cheaper than buying at the store. Plus there is the pride of collecting the berries and making it all yourself.

[@shadowminto208]

Your videos are very informative and verifiable. Everything that you have covered is correct. I have survived for over a year in the woods on almost everything that you have covered.

Black walnuts are a big favorite! They make awesome oatmeal cookies and wonderful biscotti. My grandma always made chocolate cake with black walnuts on top of white frosting for my birthday. My favorite! My friend adds them to her banana bread which is great. A good Mennonite friend taught me how to make awesome dill pickles that use lots of fresh dill leaves and a grape leaf for crispness. A mulberry leaf or horseradish leaf can be substituted but grape is best

[@heraldoriviera3851]

With Sumac, I was taught to dry the flower heads then remove the berries from the stem and remove as much of the twigs as can be. The stem and the twigs actually contain a huge amount of tannin which will turn the drink bitter. I left the berries in the water, in the fridge overnight then strained it. Amazing. BTW I did not know that a coffee like drink can be made from dandelions! Thanks for that. I've done chicory but not dandelion....common spring and summer!

A little tip I learned years ago from a man at work who was into home remedies, when I had injured my knee and was so uncomfortable: He told me to spread some Vicks Vaporub on my knee then cover it with some wild plantain and wrap it up with my elastic bandage. I was a little dubious "cause I had never thought of Vicks for anything but my chest for a cold but was desperate so gave it a try and darn if it wasn't better than anything else I tried for pain relief! Better even than the painkillers prescribed by the doctor. I tried the ingredients separately but it only worked together.

The plant at 23.00 is fantastic and used by many Norwegians. If you have a wound that does not heal, eg many older immune defenses, roll the blade lightly between the fingers so that many cells in the leaf are pierced. Then you put the blade straight on the wound and cover with bandage. Very effective on wounds that will not heal. This plant is called groblad in Norwegian, directly translated to heal leaf.

This is really cool. I'm prepping my garden for spring planting and just pulled all my dandelions, I wish I knew this before.

Here's a helpful hint for the peppermint treats: First wet the leaves with water, then dip them in arrowroot powder. After that the egg whites will stick to them very well. Thanks for sharing all the good info!

I recently discovered your channel. You are very well spoken and I genuinely enjoy watching you plate the foods you create. There is art involved and it just adds to the experience. Thank you for all you do. Best vids I've found for general all area foraging.

One of the tastiest things you can do with rosehips is to make jam from them. The finished jam tastes like hibiscus tea mixed with lemonade.

Gotta say, some of the platting in this video is actually top notch.

You can make an amazing medicinal tea with the green hills! They are a potent parasite killer and an anti cancer tea which served cold, with a touch of sugar tastes a bit like prune juice

Excellent videos, thank you for your research and explaining everything so well!

Those wild grapes makes out of this world delicious grape jelly

Your videos are very helpful and interesting, I think everyone should learn about this topic, you never know where you might find yourself and what you may need to know to survive.

I think I learned from Katrina Blair that purslane is used as a binder. Thank you for sharing your wild foraging experiences. I have just begun my self-directed education in wild foraging - and I LOVE IT!!!

Purslane is a lil sticky, crunchy is a salad to.

Growing up we use to collect black walnuts when they had fallen, put them in the drive and just drive over them during the fall and winter to remove the flesh, then we pick them up in the spring and crack them open. My mother would then put them in a warm oven to dry the nuts to store them

The roots are delicious, I prepared as you and I'm impressed. Thank you very much for another Dandelion recipe.
