Cry cry cry. Guess what, when there is injunction and police are there to enforce this injunction you probably should listen and back up and move. All this crying and you still lost. You quit.
Hi - I’m in Nanaimo and I was at the Creek working with Cookie. I’m going to do a series with the VIU/community station about civil disobedience, particularly Fairy Creek. I was wondering if I could use some sound bites from your video. I’ll also be interviewing people live, but it’s hard to contact so many people after all this time. I wouldn’t identify anyone by name.
Hey! Thanks for your hard work and I hope I can help! I would feel best about getting permission from the interviewees before using the sound bites for another project, but I think I have most of their contact info. If you send me a message through the contact form on my website, we can get an email thread going and coordinate on this: www.thewildportal.com
My any chance do you know my daughter Rachel Cole Jansen, sometime she goes by Rachel Chevalier ? She is a a fire dancer and goes under the name "Dresden Blue" and lives in Oakland CA, she is a social worker and fire dancer, Merritt Delano Taylor ,our departmental unid Head at GVSU said you might
To make trimming easier, maybe you could use pruning shears or even tin snips? They have the mechanical advantage to make the cutting easier on your hands and wrists. Any idea how long it takes to soak through before your butt get wet? We have quality/lots of cattails where we live, but it never occurred to me to make a sitting mat. South American peoples have woven sleeping mats from palm fronds since the beginning of time. It's nice to cozy-up to nature for the obvious benefits, but it doesn't break the bank, either. By the way, instead of using jute cordage, part of the cattail leaves can be made into cordage for this. There are several YT videos showing how - lots easier than me trying to explain it. Cheers and hello from Alberta, Canada.
I’ve never had a cat tail mat soak through to be totally honest and I used to use them for sit mats in the forest all the time. Especially in Ontario winters! I didn’t have the time this round to do the cattail cordage but you’re absolutely right that you can make good string cordage out of it. ❤️
As one of my Trail Angling experiences, I gave a ride to a guy you carried his cat on top of his back pack. The leach was jus a length of string. The cat seemed perfectly happy. I met the guy at Stevens Pass. He had been given the cat somewhere in California.
When auto mobiles and steam engines arrived , the horse carriages had gone out of business , forestry industry need to find new careers , those forests are sacred
Really great, as always Mink. I just came up with 2, flintknapping motif, tees. It will take a bit of time to get more, but I'll send you one. If you can get one of the Raven for me, that would be really appreciated. Jim
@@MinkTracks might be a youtube issue? i dunno. but i had to turn my computer and site up full, and my tv way up to hear you. but im glad you were able to get the help you needed. love you <3
HELP PLEASE!!! Hello everyone. I have had the idea of creating acorn flour and have watched many YT videos. I have the white acorns available. I have noticed on the raw nut that has not been dried either in sunshine or dehydrator, there are some black spots on the outside of the shelled nuts or on either side of the two halves. Is this mould? If so, can I simply cut the mouldy section out, or do I need to throw the whole nut away, that would be so wasteful ☹ Many thanks!!!!!
Hey, while oaks are having a good year here in Germany me and my class desided to learn how to make acorns edible. After cracking our harvest open we found a lot of them having dark blackish spots on them. You mentioned in your video, that already cracked nuts are likely to be rotten. Are those black spots a sign for that and are the acrons still edible or do we have to throw them away? Greetings, Marco.
Hey great question, and so cool to hear you are doing that with your class! In my opinion everyone should learn these life skills. :) It sounds like you got to them a little to late. My experience has been that I have to be pretty proactive and really notice when the acorns start to fall in order to get the good ones. Check out the start of this video, it might help you: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--r_jEKMBjFI.html
Thank you for your quick answer! I think we have to do another turn into the woods and harvest some more good ones, then. It isn't like my pupils don't enjoy those trips :) The water bucket test seems very evecktive. I will definitely try that! Again, thank you
Mine turned a very dark brown and were fine. It’s probably the tannins that cause that to happen. As long as they’re not moldy I would say go for it. Make sure you leech the tannins though or they will be soooo bitter
I went up and knocked in their doors in situations where I wasn’t sure and I just asked if I could pick up the acorns. I didn’t take the leaves. In some cases the acorns fall onto those strips of grass between the sidewalk and the road. In those cases I only ask if someone is clearly around and might be bothered by it.
@@jowo8862 Awesome! There are lots of good resources out there. I’ve even found a local Facebook group for foragers in my region. There are probably similar things in your region
Great job! You're very good at explaining things. All your "Skills from the Hills" videos provide a lot of information. I harvest mossycup oaks (Quercus macrocarpa) here in Michigan, along with a few other species.
