The internet needs more people like this that actually know what they're talking about. Thumbs up. What books (or Android applications) can you recommend for learning this kind of natural medicine and nutrition?

Walter Kovacs Thank you Walter for the kind words. I have several Android devices that I carry with me as well. My favorite Android app is not what you would expect......at least until I explain it. My favorite app is "ES File Explorer". The reason that a file explorer is my favorite app is that I have a lot of books both that I have got from the web as well as scanned and OCR'ed (Optical Character Recognition (so the books text can be searched for key words)) and stored digitally on my android devices. Now when I am out at our remote cabin or when ever I'm out and about in the woods I can have an array of digitized wild plant books on me (in the android) for ID'ing and uses. I have many many books on my androids that are both my own as well as downloaded for free (I'm Cheap). I have got books from all over the web and don't remember where I got each individual book. One source (even though I have very few from this source myself) is the down load section of the forum of Bushcraft USA. If you know where and how to search you can also find many books at archive.org. Here is one of my favorite books that can be downloaded. I have this book in both hard copy as well as digital. I don't have a clue where I downloaded it but it looks like it can be downloaded at this link aknhp.uaa.alaska.edu/botany/medicinal-flora-of-the-alaska-natives/

Great vid...I am in my kitchen in a cabin high in the Rockie Mountains of Colorado. Cooking breakfast and decided to watch something from your channel. I am cooking up a slab of bacon and eggs and sure would love to have some natural forage to top it off. The "spruce tea" is on the menue as well..the berries will be cropping soon and all the other goods stuff...Most o my live I was limited to what I learned as a half breed native. I have learned a lot from your videos that my Dad doing d not! I prefer yours from most survival channels because there was s no tactical theme l. I am old school and prefer knowlege over gadget! Well done Lonnie!

Great video! I wanted to mention the Labrador Tea looks similar to another type of plant nearby, but the one you want to drink for tea, looks and feels fuzzy under the leaves. I've read books on plants and grew up in SE Alaska, but seeing it is different than reading in a book. Thanks!
@marlenelamarche43982 жыл бұрын
You overlooked an important source of food in your vid. That blueish-white lacy moss around where you found the Labrador tea, once cooked, taste like mushroom and it contains protein. The tea is good for your health too.

I really appreciate these types of videos, they are full of information about survival. I was wondering, do you have any tips on how to build a suitable shelter that would be great for survival in the northern Canadian wilderness in the winter? Thanks, Richard

I am in Alaska and I did a video a while back on me sleeping overnight in a bushcrafted shelter. See the link below. If you are interested in making a shelter from purchase materials, I have a video series where i show step by step on how to make a hot tent tipi, stove and stove jack. I have personally used this setup in about minus 4 degrees Fahrenheit and was very comfortable.

You didn't mention the willow as a source of salicyclic acid. It's named after the genus of willow, which is Salix. Rodents are fond of willow twigs, because of this drug. I'm glad I've learned a couple of things anyway. Thank you so much for all the effort you have been putting into making the videos.
@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival5 жыл бұрын
The reason I did not list willow in this video is because the inner bark of willow is not considered a food. Some species of willow are very high in salicin so willow is classified more as a medicinal rather than an edible. The other tree species I listed will typically have considerably less salicin content. A couple videos in which I mention willow or other medicinals.

I am allergic asperin but I can drink chaga tea, with out any reaction. There might be some differences between natural and artificial asetylisalicylic acid. There maybe that asetylisalicylic acid is the artficial one and salicylic acid the natural one. Natural one does not have allergic effect on me. I don't know because I am not a doctor but just saying :)

Don't have 2 b in Alaska for that 2 b true. That's why all of our planing is to bug-in rather than bug-out in worst case situation. Only if everything on our place is destroyed - wild fire for ex. - would we consider leaving. Too old, too many health problems to hike very far. Especially in adverse weather. Especially summer heat/humidity in SE. Using learning here to utilize back 40, if front 40 suffers loss. Primitive "rustic" camping utilizing what remains. + Still enjoy outdoors anyway!

@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival9 жыл бұрын
Roy Alvstad All my videos are all under the same channel umbrella. So if you go to my channel home page you will have access to all my videos. This is still the same channel but at one point I finally figured out how to give the channel it's correct name instead of the channel being known by my sign in name. At that time "fresh air" was spelled "Phreshayr". Most people probably didn't even realize that that was pronounced "fresh air".

Can you tap a birch tree in winter?
@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival5 жыл бұрын
You could tap a birch tree in winter if you wanted to bad enough i guess but it would do you no good to do so. The sap that flows in the trees is for providing nutrients to the leaves and during the winter there are no leaves and so therefor there is no flowing sap. In other words If you tapped the tree in the winter, there would be no sap. Here in Alaska the tree wood would be frozen as well and might be a bit difficult to drill.
