Can’t tell which old man’s beard I like more… FANTASTIC video! Informative and beautifully shot. Loving this new content

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Haha. Thanks for watching.

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

I’m sure you are familiar with the feel of it. I’ve had it since birth.

[@carloS-jy1fl]

@@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks just discovered your channel and absolutely love it! I think everyone should learn and experience nature in its majestic and raw form. Especially the younger generation growing up in big cities and urban Environments. Im still very young myself, only 21. Just curious, did you grow up in the backcountry and if not, how did you find yourslef doing what you do now? Looking forward to some new videos, greetings from the German Alps

[@evanislost]

@@carloS-jy1fl it was a picture of somewhere in Bavaria that gave me that "call to nature" feeling and inspired me to start backpacking. I have always wanted to visit Germany and explore, you have a beautiful country. I would give anything to be able to see it with my own eyes.

This man is gonna save a lot of lives in the future coming. I suggest to take notes, since the internet will go down eventually in a world wide clash

I want to live with this dude for a few years and learn everything he knows

[@donnchadh3071]

This has got to be the coolest old man I have ever seen, not to mention his fantastic beard 😁

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Haha. I’m only 42…but have a beard of a 70 year old.

[@colleenpritchett6914]

Lol old?

[@seasem]

We have Usnea growing all over the trees on the monastery property. I've just collected some for this morning's tea. Your video has inspired me to learn more about the natural properties of the plants we have here in top of New Zealand. Thank you and God bless.

[@muddybear9178]

Years ago I worked up in Montana and Idaho as a big game guide, we called it bears hair. I'm glad to know the actual name now. Thanks, great video.

[@paddlerofrivers7413]

Shout out to all the cave people and natives who found what and what not to eat and useful medicine!

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Big shoutout! HAHAH

[@christyhammer218]

Ohhh boy. I just found your channel and I have to work in the morning. I’ll be watching many of your videos tonight! I harvested usnea, today, near the boundary waters. I plan on mixing it with my turkey tail and Mullen. Ty for your educational content!

[@tysondaniels6001]

Donny🤙🏾 man I truly love ur videos ✊🏾 definitely the way our ancestors lived and provided medicine straight from Mother Nature 🤙🏾 I’m on the brinks of teaching children our natural ways, I’m an avid native outdoorsman who grew up on the lands and am in the process of doing cultural teachings with the children, I’d love to get some napping rocks to practice and teach as well, I’ve watched at least 99% of ur videos and love every one of them 🤙🏾

[@Colton1776]

Really happy you did something on old man’s beard. Huge in my area.

[@lime-px8wh]

Not an outdoorsy guy at all, but your videos has this inviting vibes for you to just do it and explore. Great videos, keep it up!

[@lancemcdaniel2576]

So thankful you’re adding content to YT again. Always learning something from you. Many thanks.

[@__-pl3jg]

Thanks Donny. I usually drink some activated charcoal from the fire pit if I feel like I ate something bad. I'll have to try Usnea tea next time as it grows all over South Texas.

[@i-love-comountains3850]

Regarding ash/charcoal I've heard the phrase "white if you're tight (constipated), black if you're slack (diarrhea)" and it helped a lot. I'd definitely recommend throwing some pine needles in the water as you're heating it. I do that for all my backcountry teas, since pine needles have a nice flavor and are packed with vitamin C.

[@__-pl3jg]

@@i-love-comountains3850 - Good to know, thx. Id never heard that clever saying before. I've always used the black bits and crushed it into a fine powder. I started out using commercially sold activated charcoal at home, then tried the stuff in my camp fire once as a necessity and it worked just as well.

[@i-love-comountains3850]

@@__-pl3jg Happy to help! Thank you for letting me know the homemade is just as good as storebought. I used activated charcoal for heartburn and sour stomach so I'll be saving a ton of money at the expense of a little embarrassment for having spent entirely too much money on something i could get for free. I'd only ever used the ash for diarrhea, didn't even make the connection to firepit charcoal, despite knowing the phrase 😅

[@__-pl3jg]

@@i-love-comountains3850 - Just make sure the activated charcoal from your fire pit is created from a non resinous hardwood and you'll be fine. Oak is what most commercial stuff is made from.

[@i-love-comountains3850]

@@__-pl3jg Oh that's really good to know, since most of my fires are pine or other soft woods. So only non-resinous hardwood?

Killer video man! I didnt know you could apply it to a wound only knew the tea process.

It’s pretty versatile. I’ve used it extensively in the past.

[@i-love-comountains3850]

@@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks I like to add pine needles to my water as I'm heating it. The flavor is nice and they're packed with vitamin C. I thought I'd mention it since you made the point about Usnea tea being bitter and lemon & honey helping. Thank you for this awesome video! Regarding the black core vs white core in Usnea, is the black core stuff dangerous? Or just not medicinal?

[@arjb5060]

Love the vid, so glad your uploading more often.

If you were dropped somewhere far from civilization with nothing but the cloths on your back and knowledge of the local flora and fauna where would you start in order to survive? Step by step like what tools/shelter would you make and how would you hunt?

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

That’s a good question. I did just that on a show called Alone The Beast on Hulu. Fire, shelter and water were the essentials. I did this in Louisiana. Thanks for watching

[@Ghost_Os]

Great video. Concise and well conveyed. Used usnea a few years back to help rapidly resolve my girl's strep throat. Good stuff 👍🏻🌀🌲

Is it me or he reminds me of jason mamoa, but with grey hair? Either way thes videos are relaxing and informative.

[@chronicle5724]

Does the Usnea need to be fresh from a tree/ how long can it sit before it can no longer be used

[@brookeceslak]

This is an amazing video! ❓️Question... Can I collect some usnea and store it for when I may need it? Or does it need to be freshly picked to harness the benefits?

[@johnrollins4879]

Love these videos and tips! Also very relaxing to watch!

[@danwilkinson2797]

I used usnea topically to treat mersa on my cat . The vet gave him the default anti biotic treatment several times which had about the same results each time a temporary reduction in progression . The usnea had about the same effect without the tolerance and resistance that eventually comes from taking long term antibiotics . Seeing how bad the infection was I was impressed with the home made Usnea topical extract .

[@user-id7sk5eg5x]

Just an extra note of caution with cats - anything topical is also ingested since they groom themselves so much. Usnea causes severe liver damage in humans when ingested, so who knows what happens with cats.

[@SylviaFey]

I thought you just put it on the wound and that was that. Now I know. awesome video. Very informative.😁

Even better to take it off branches that have fallen on the ground because while it's still on the tree, it's helping it.
