We're searching for sweet chestnuts today, showing you how to open and gather them then what we do with them once we get them home. They're a wonderful source of free nutrition in October and November and readily freezable for use in nut roasts, pies, soups, and to liven up vegetable side dishes. Hope you enjoy watching our approach to one of my favourite forages of the year. Do share your chestnut stories and cooking advice in the comments!

✿ 2022 FAQ ✿
"What do you use to film your videos?"
I use a combination of a GoPro Hero9 for general walk videos and timelapses, Nikon Coolpix P1000 for wildlife and plant closeups, and occasionally my Samsung S20 for further incidental shots.
"Why do you make nature walk videos?"
Of course, I encourage everyone to just go out and see your own local nature, but at the same time I want to share my local patch with people from all around the world and for people who cannot so easily access nature. I want to inspire more engagement with the outdoors in the hope of helping people form a personal bond with the wonder of the natural world.
