The Incredible Cabbage Palm | ON Three

[@floridagunrat1625]

As rattletrap 88 mentioned, there are hazards around cabbage Palms. As someone that grew up in Florida, hunting, fishing, hiking, and working in the outdoors all of my life, those hazards exist everywhere. On the ground that you walk, under the bushes, in the water, hanging form the trees, and flying in the air. It's just a matter of being aware and being observant and knowing what the hazards are. Really appreciate that you did this piece. I enjoyed it! Thank you, Fl Gunrat.

Yeah, don't you guys have Pygmy Rattlesnakes down there too?

[@AmericanMinuteman95]

@@ogsavage1928 yes, we do

[@rattrap8819]

Bark scorpions and wasps can easily be making a home in the center. But venomous snakes will change your whole life for the worse. Tap all in there with your walking stick first for a happy day😁. Cheers from Tampa.

If you take the leaves and strip into smaller strips, they can be braided into cordage. Compliments to Naval Aircrew School.

Hilarious intro

[@boogerdog5247]

My most important rarely shared secret use, is the fronds themselves. Yes, I've munched on palmetto hearts midday while hunting in Florida, a close relative, which shares the uses of today's subject plant. But back to the fronds...When not using tree stands, slipping into swamp edges, many times requires sitting on the damp ground. Wet is reality in Florida, so cut fronds laid out protects from a day with a wet a**. The most important thing is not only keeping the jewels dry, lmao, is red bugs...CHIGGERS...Ya gotta experience them to know what they can do...but I've known, since late 60's, and 70's that when I gathered palm or palmetto fronds, set an array, then sat on them, I stayed dry and the chiggers, for some reason do not prefer palmetto or palm fronds to cling to. I still do an alcohol rubdown after being in any woodsy environ, and bug spray on pants is a recommended application, but, until first good freeze in Florida winter, I'd never sit on bare ground. I've hog hunted from the Panhandle to Gulf Coast Big Bend swamps and uplands, to my Green Swamp acreage. Chigger heaven... Btw, Shout outs to Grady Judd, Polk County Constitutional Sheriff, one of the truly few in Florida.

I live in a small town in southern Louisiana and we have something similar to the palm, it's called a palmetta, they would work great as a type of shingle, in some ditches and low areas they have what I call elephant ears, we just use to spit on them and it would roll off like a ball, some grow huge, very tender but carefully would make a great shingle. Happy bushcrafting

[@ONThree]

I am very familiar with the Palmetta! I spent a month living in a palmetta thatched shelter in southern Louisiana. Thanks for watching!

Oh my god videos like these are so amazing

[@bobbymalcich63]

thank you for the video!!

[@BackCountryRunaway]

so something i learned from John McPherson from his book "naked into the wilderness" is that if you are making the string for a bowdrill from most plant fibers, Make 2 strings. one for the burn in and one for making the coal. so that you have a better chance of getting it without breaking the string.

[@markaveli7876]

A sabal palmetto is the tall growing palm native to the southeast. Sabal minor is the little one you tried to pull the heart out of. Cabbage palm is the sabal palmetto. Southerners have long called the sabal palmetto a "palmettar".

[@rustywolf6813]

FL is wierd, stuff that will kill you and stuff that will save you, lol. Got any natural ideas for keeping the skeeters off?

[@J.1989-l8k]

I live in Florida, mosquitoes love me unfortunately. As odd as it may sound if you take a spray bottle and put 99% water and some peppermint oil drops (I don't sell it or anything). Just make sure you can smell the peppermint oil. Shake it up, spray yourself down. They won't bother you.... unless you miss a spot... if you do, you will figure it out quickly 😂. Insects in general hate peppermint oil. Spiders, ants, wasps, noseeums, definitely mosquitoes. I can't handle the smell of mosquito spray from the store so when I figured out peppermint oil I stocked up. Easy to store and I would rather smell like a peppermint than that obnoxious smell from the store stuff. Plus it's natural.

[@richardb4787]

Stuff that can kill you, will save you in small quantities. That's the basis of homeopathy.

[@robertbates6057]

FL is weird. A mix of temperate, sub tropical and tropical flora and fauna.

[@ONThree]

In my experience mosquitos are best deterred by clothing. Long sleeves, gloves, etc. I’ve tried the natural stuff and it may work a little but when they are really hungry, deet, long sleeves and smoke are about the best you can do. Smudge fires around camp can help.

[@coloradolivingoffgrid6106]

Solvarome by Unda. I hear about it in a lecture in naturopathic medical school. But I feel like I heard him say that he put some in a bottle and used it as a spray. He said that everyone else was being bit but him, until they too used it.

When it's dry, it burns like fuel. In powder form, it probably would be explosive.

[@ichetuknee]

Both the palmetto and sable palm hearts are edible. Sable palm hearts were called "swamp cabbage" by folks I knew. In the 1970s, we started hearing about hearts of palm salads, made of the same plant. We laughed at the fancy name. Problem is, taking the heart kills the plant. It takes years to grow and provides edible fruit (berries) as well. It grows in SE USA.

Sabal Palm / Sabal Palmetto

[@bigg368]

The little one is called a sabal minor. The tall trunking one is called a sabal palmetto.

[@SlainteFromFlorida]

I would say the majority of venomous snakes that I've seen near water in Florida were on fronds.

[@redfaux74]

Not an exciting video but informational. If I lived in FL, and I never would, it would be applicable. But I love 'On 3" so I'm giving it a thumbs up. Jason has passion.
