HOW TO MAKE A GOURMET MEAL FROM FORAGED FOOD!! (Trying not to poison myself) 

Which one of these would you guys like to try?? If you wouldn’t, explain why!

Between this video and the shelter making one, Ethan is going to be the only gay that survives the zombie apocalypse 😂 I’m okay with him representing us 🏳️‍🌈

"Say, can I have some of your purple berries? Yes, I've been eating them for six or seven weeks now, haven't got sick once, prob-ly keep us both alive." Wooden Ships, CS&N, 1969. Seems our Ethan is a modern flower child, a real nature boy, living off the land. Free and unfettered.

Foraging with Ethan... just a suggestion for the Food Network.

Excellent video Ethan. It has been interesting travelling with you, not only because of the places you go but even more because I have observed how you have grown and matured as a young man. Your video skills have also developed and you are becoming a good videographer. Congratulations, you are a joy to watch.

I admire the way you're living, and have to respect anyone who can hold a bee on their finger. I once got some fiddleheads from the grocery store, because I'd never heard of them before. I ate them raw and later someone said "OMG! You have to cook them!"

Each of your videos--especially this one--reveals one or more dimensions of your awesomeness. Wow, I am so impressed.

Millie is so patient, she must be so happy doing everything with you!

I was amazed by the stuff you know when picking the right things to eat.

Excellent video! Foraging for food is a lost art. There are many things we can eat that most of us have no idea are out there in all sorts of environments. I personally love mushrooms and have never had a bad experience, worms or not. I'd love to see more of you finding food in the environment you're in! I think we could all benefit from that!

What an amazing video. I forage for berries around where I live but never knew you could eat ferns… I have the same variety growing in my back yard so might try them for supper. Don’t want to sound patronising but Ethan, you’re one hell of a guy! 🤓❤️🔥🇬🇧

You rock Ethan. You found a way to take the random enjoyment in life and make it your own I admire you

So this is hands down my favorite video you’ve done. I learned so many new things!

That fiddlehead color would be a fun dye. Avocado seeds and skin make pink dye

I'm impressed by your knowledge base!!! Ethan knows his 💩!!!!...🙌

"Good morning! It's one in the afternoon..." 😂🤣😅

Wow, you did your research and gave us a lot of helpful and interesting facts. It looked good too.

Your videos are fascinating ! ,..fot someone who once said he didn't know about cooking you're doing a great job !! ..all very best wishes Steve

Kind of a Jane Goodall/Gordon Ramsey vibe but still totally Ethan

That's so cool that you forage for food! Now I want to learn how to do that! Wish me luck 🤞

Look at you! At one with nature; all knowledgeable 'n sh*! Even friendly with the bees. I'm impressed!

Glad to see Millie romping in the woods with you, and she does seem to be having a ball....

Gourmet cooking in the forrest with Ethan! 😃❤️

Fascinating... I've always been interested in food that can be gathered from nature.

Sometimes (in Thailand anyway), the older the mushroom, the more woody and tough it becomes. Oyster mushrooms tend to last a little longer. They all make great soup though.

Ethan, very interesting! A LOT of work for very little nutritional value, but an excellent illustration of how really hard true "off grid" or "survivalist" living would be. It puts the "survival" in survivalist. You are enjoyable and educational - a great combination you do well.

0:25 this shot and the one after it are so beautiful

Thanks for sharing !

Millie: "Um, Ethan? That bear behind you wants her berries back!"

Most interesting, Ethan. Another intriguing video. Your videography is outstanding.

I'm shocked you're only at 20k subscription..just great content 👌

Ethan, I am impressed. You are a much braver man than I. Stay adventurous and safe.

I would go with my aunt in the woods and find Moral mushrooms and eat them. Fried in butter they were so good. It brought back that memory.

Thanks for posting.

I have not been able to travel much in my life, but you are really making me consider Washington. The Washington tourism board needs to put you on the payroll! 🌿

Very interesting vlog, thank you for making and posting it.

Be really careful with the mushrooms eh. Love your 'stove top' :) Yeah - west coast is the place to be - a green paradise :)

Amazing adventure ! I am really enjoyin your channel !

Great video! At one time I knew which plants were edible, which ones were medicinal & which ones were poisonous, but I haven't been camping or in the woods in such a long time I don't know if I could remember them now. Take care, stay safe and enjoy your journey!

I learned a lot from this video. I was in the Boy Scouts, but never learned all this stuff

Awesome and adorable! What's not to love! Such great content! 🌱

"They thought that growing 20ft in a tree would save them, but no. Its not" Lol I absolutely fucking love this guy!

Be sure to try the fiddle heads if you make it to Maine.

Looks great, and very delicious. Great video

probably lots out in the wilderness that we could eat and enjoy....stay safe in your travels

Those berries and plants look delicious, Ethan!

This is great, you should see how long y'all can survive foraging. Mini series maybe?

"Passed it's due date". I love it! 😂

Lots of good protein lying by roadsides just waiting for you 😁

Wonderful video !!! You are very resourceful !! Beautiful country and nature !! Thank you for sharing it.

Your best video to date Great job Ethan Bravo 👏

This was a very interesting video Ethan. Very well done!

This video gave me ideas! Thanks Ethan !

You had me cracking up with your branch raking mushrooms off that tree.

. . . loved this . . . picking and eating berries myself this afternoon ;) . . .

We live in WA state so let us know next time you are near. 😊

Great Ethan! Thanks.

The best RU-vid notification ❤️

After you see us what samll risk are about eating mushrooms from the forest, I never eat stuff like that anyway, it is to dangerous to pick something out off Mother Nature without any kwonledge what you are puting in your mouth....We from the Netherlands have no idea what musrooms are save to eat wich one dont. It is prohibit to pick mushrooms from the forest or anywhere els...My husband he grows mushroom at home and it is difficult to let them grow, but he succeed and some off them taste like bacon !! The forest you are in is amazing and so green!! Millie likes it to and is happy to be there !! Nice video Ethan and like the way you are making these videos, and we loved to watch them !!

I always enjoy your videos Ethan. I used to travel a lot when I was younger and I enjoy watching your travels. You do a good job with those berries and one of these days I'd like to help you with your berries 🤔😋

Great video Ethan.

Excellent...............

Ethan, a very informative interesting video thank you. Ethan you have matured your videos are interesting, you have knowledge of the subject your video is about. I feel having a travel buddy has given you more confidence, your editing skills are much improved. Have a good day as I am writing you are most likely sound asleep in the beautiful rainforest due to the time difference. Looking forward to your next video.

Great presentation ethan, but no thanks, any golden arches nearby lol! Notice millie not begging...

Clearly you’re in western WA, no smoke like eastern WA lol still love my state of WA, especially Snohomish County.

Awesome video enjoyed watching it 😀

Love my Southern Lady Mille

You did an awesome job foraging. The worms? Added protein

Great video. I really enjoyed it.

Sarcastic.... that's fresh

Interesting facts thank you

Another great video! Thanks!!

Other than the berries I would not eat any of that especially the fungus/mushrooms. I am such a picky eater but glad you like it all.

Where did you learn your foraging skills?

It is great to see Ethan found a table in the forest rather than at IKEA.

Love it!

Be careful Ethan eating wild mushrooms ,some of them mushrooms 🍄 you eat can take you on a wild trip and never leave the Forest 😂 been there done that 🤣 your meal looked great 👍🏻 I would have eaten it, I’ve always liked trying different kinds of foods.😎

love

Love Millie

That’s good to know that you can eat those things

hope you have a book on these wild things u eat. I'd rather eat all my food from Dollar General, they have the best outdoor stuff, veh stuff, food, evert shaped container, pots/pans, dental care, car care/cleaning products, sower curtains & stuff that can double for anything you need it for. Despite if you've ever been mistaken as straight or not, I again recommend u carry a pepper/O.C. Defense spray, a machete, pocket knife always & other items, preferably a firearm, after learning to fire a small caliber pistol at any indoor/outdoor range! Matthew Shepard lived in a messed up state, I'm sure you've stayed in Wyoming & they hate us queens. Shepard coulda been more aware & take less risks, but no one wants to see a repeat of his sad, early murder. Visit any "Army/Navy Store" & I guarantee you'll learn some stuff & fall in love with some of the camping-survival related items that ease life on the road. Some cool shirts too, you'd be set in an squirmy situation if u had shirts like: 1 green Boarder Patrol, 1 USMC, 1 grey Army, 1 black w/Security in white...anything that may deter scuzzy folks from stealing from u. They have a tom of can openers, nail clippers, survival knives & related type items. I love going...shorts & pants w/a lot of pockets are available too. Around July 4th, stock up on smoke balls (cheap/diff colors), pushes animals away & allow you to slip away. Consider a BB gun, if you can't handle a simple .22cal pistol. May save u from a bear, a pervert, theif or group of gypsies or hippies. Always lie or bluff to people about what u have, that u really don't have. Act like you knows answers to things, but that your memory is bad...you'll seem sharper than you look.

Ethan, hi there. I know it says you posted this video about two years ago so it’s been a while. I ran across your channel maybe two months ago, and it is now November 2023. Your videos, and your stories, are my most favorite of any RU-vid videos I watch. You are so sweet, smart, intellectual, and innovative. It does sound as if you have a boyfriend, and if so, may I say, he is the luckiest man on earth. Or pretty darn close to it. Yes, I am quite a bit older than you, and I am not trying to hit on you. But your stories bring back so many memories that I wish I would’ve had in my life. But I spent most of my life in the closet. I didn’t really even meet my first gay friend until the mid 1990s. Even then, we didn’t really learn the truth about each other until maybe 2014. I won’t get into the details of what happened one very special night that year, but since then we had become inseparable, and I experienced love for the first time in my life, yes, he was 18 years younger than me, but it worked. Each of us, became the others half, if that makes any sense. Unfortunately, I lost him to a stroke at the age of only 42, and have missed him ever since. But when I was your age being out and having the fun that you are able to, and being open about yourself, just wasn’t in the cards. I had to hide, and pretend I was Mr. straight, perfect. But watching your videos, even though I didn’t get to experience all of that fun, almost, makes me feel like I did. You do such a fantastic job of bringing us into your travels, it almost makes us feel like we are there. That is so cool, and it brings light to every dark day that I may be having. I am so glad that this world is changing, so that guy your age can openly express himself and enjoy life as you do now. You are so much inside like I was at your age. I love nature, flowers, dogs, cats, and all kinds of animals. Which, besides a dog, the elephant is my favorite lol. What I wouldn’t give to be able to go back in years to when I was your age and meet someone just like you. Once again, I am not a weirdo trying to hit on you. I am not a troll I am just a real person, That can recognize a really cool one when I see them and you are a very special one. I am in Illinois just south of Chicago, and to just meet you on your travels sometime, and just having the pleasure of speaking to you for five or 10 minuteswould be amazing. But I am a realist and know that probably can’t happen. So you guys take care of yourselves always, and please, please stay safe.

my oh my that's a big knife

Careful! Sasquatch loves black berries!!!!

The bee should be named Ethan Buzzbee.

Washington is Beautiful.

Love this Interesting edible food content foraging in Nature to supplement my nutrition. Not a mushroom person but you cooking then looked yummy 👍👍⬆️🐶💕👨

Yes! Seeing this video and thinking about your recent poll. Yes, you would be marvelous at doing "survival" videos. It will also help others realize we gays aren't just stereotypes. We can survive in the wild and hike and camp. You bring inspiration to the lgbtq+ community. Thank you. That is all. I hope that was not too cringe. ~ runs away ~ lol seriously, keep up the great vids. Most entertaining and I even learn things here and there. I will shush and not be your cheerleader. Lame. :-P Take care.

that looks good

My sister lives in Maine and they eat Fiddle Heads regularly.

A Big Mac would be great for the entree

Hey little brother, hows it going? Well I hope. Everything is good here. Gom A.m

love brown hair

Billy the Bumble Bee

They say the higher the mushroom the higher you will get✌🏻

My gosh, are you adventuresome, Ethan. How do you tell poison mushrooms from edible ones? And how close is the nearest hospital just in case...

Patron Ethan

Millie wasn't keen on your cooking
