Watched a ton of identification videos on garlic and yours is by far the best, thank you so much! I have wild garlic growing in my garden so I will put these points to the test!

[@RathwulvenBushcraft]

Hey there :) First of all thanks for your comment, glad to hear that the short video is of use. :) I envy your garden with the allium, we got ours facing south with barely any shadow so the last two years all attempts to cultivate wild garlic in ours failed. Luckily the next foraging spot is just about a kilometer away. ATB Ralf

[@lalaalalala]

i just want to say how impressive your identification videos are. i’ve seen most of the youtube vids on the subject and nobody ever warns that the whole “if it smells like garlic or onion, it is. if it doesn’t, it’s not” rule is not a safe method on its own.

[@RathwulvenBushcraft]

Hey Chuck, sorry I missed this comment. First of all thanks for the kind words. :) Glad it resonates, I find it important to be thorough when it comes to foraging.

[@ArranRWilliamson]

I was really worried about trying to forage during my hikes because of the risk of poisoning myself and my partner. However, on the strength of this video, im going to go for a hike right now and try and find a bit of wild garlic to bring home (and ofc I will sub!). I also found some in my garden. Cheers!

[@RathwulvenBushcraft]

Hi Arran, thanks for your comment first of all. I am really glad if the video is of help and that it takes some of your worries away. To keep it simple: Just go for the pop-test showed in the video, this method (in combination with all other points made) is basically fool-proof. On a side note: Both the meadow saffron and lilly of the valley would tantalise your gums if eaten - our bodies are very well capable of ringing the alarm so to speak. In the end, it always boils down to mindfulness. Enjoy foraging!

[@ivorbiggun710]

Very useful film. Thanks. Going out foraging tomorrow as I've discovered a wood full of wild garlic.

[@RathwulvenBushcraft]

You're welcome Ivor. Awesome you found a nice foraging spot. Enjoy the plant while it lasts! :) Thanks for your comment.

AMAZING video … subscribed !! We’ve just picked wild garlic today and Iv watched tons of videos. This is by far the best, thankyou

[@RathwulvenBushcraft]

Hi Sadie, thanks for your feedback. Glad to hear the video helps :) What you're gonna make with the wild garlic?

[@jordy46682]

Watched and subscribed within 2 minutes! This is the level how all KZbin videos should be! Only thing that was missing was actual footage / example photos of the doppelgangers! Thanks ☺️

[@RathwulvenBushcraft]

Thank you Jordan, very much appreciate it. The footage you are looking for is actually put in another video - you can check out the plant ID playlist on my channel. :)

[@ryancarey1535]

This is very helpful, I appreciate the thoroughness. I helped to alleviate my anxieties about picking plants for food!

[@RathwulvenBushcraft]

Hey Ryan, thanks for your comment. Glad to hear that. :)

[@DhobyVic]

Thank you very much for an excellent video. We have the autumn flowering crocus in our garden and wild garlic in the wood nearby, so I was able to show my wife how to distinguish between them using the various tests you recommended. She was very impressed, in particular when I demonstrated the little 'snapping' sound produced by folding the wild garlic leaf stem, and also when I pointed out the almost semi-circular cross-section of the main stem of the wild garlic.

[@RathwulvenBushcraft]

Awesome Victor - hope you folks enjoy the herb while it lasts. :-) Thank you for your comment, appreciate it! If you want, feel free to check out the other plant ID videos on my channel, you can find an entire playlist there 👍🏻👍🏻

You're welcome Quin, thanks for the lovely comment. ATB!

[@garyoutwright5684]

I do love the smell and the colour you get and it spreads really fast

[@RathwulvenBushcraft]

Absolutely :)

[@notmyworld44]

I believe that is the same plant that is called "Ramps" (nearly always plural) in the mountains of eastern USA. This is a highly celebrated plant in that region.

[@michaelbell3952]

I like the R B bindrune

[@experience_nature_bushcraft]

Good Video my friend!

[@RathwulvenBushcraft]

Danke dir!

[@philipfish50]

Hi wouldn’t it be easier to just smell them garlic smell is pretty strong thanks for the interesting video cheers

[@RathwulvenBushcraft]

Hey Philip - I am not sure if I did mention it in the video, but smelling the plant is an absolutely unreliable test. Toxic lookalikes grow in the same location and once the smell sticks to your fingers, your hands will smell like allium - regardless of what plant you are holding.

[@philipfish50]

@@RathwulvenBushcraft that makes sense I thought it would save you some time thanks for the reply stay safe

[@CanoehoundAdventures]

Good Video my Friend... I may look in my area to see if I can find some of tat wild Garlic.

[@RathwulvenBushcraft]

Thanks for your comment - definitely worth a try. :)

[@grampawterry8957]

thanks ,, shared

[@RathwulvenBushcraft]

Thanks mate :)

[@blutey]

Thanks for this video. Has answered a lot of the questions I had. Have seen a patch of wild garlic near me and am thinking of harvesting some. Do people just eat the leaves or the bulbs as well?

[@RathwulvenBushcraft]

Hi there, thanks for the comment. You can eat the bulbs, just check out this video series here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJ22XqyPmLZ3jLM&ab_channel=RathwulvenBushcraft We do forage some and process them into a dish. It is important to check your state laws though, cause over here wild garlic was protected up until a couple of years ago due to people overforaging the populations. Always got to respect the law!

[@vladepast4936]

thankk you

[@rchristie5401]

Nothing like the wild Garlic in i have found in Canada

[@RathwulvenBushcraft]

Hi there - I think you might be referring to meadow garlic then (aka Canadian wild garlic or allium canadense). Different plant but still good to know. I don't think we got that one over here in Europe. :)

[@bush-radler7326]

Hola Sags mir doch mal auf deutsch: Was ist das für ein Kraut? Hab schon was davon gesehen kann mich jezt aber nicht mehr an den deutschen Namen erinnern. saludos Michael

[@RathwulvenBushcraft]

Klaro, das ist Bärlauch.

[@sharonroyle2077]

Those plants you are calling "wild garlic" are actually wild leeks! Otherwise known as "ramps"!
