Hey Corporals Corner. Love your videos. I experimented a few years back with yucca root, and took a short 1" or 2" section and planted that in dirt. Surprisingly, that root section grew into 3 new plants. So for anyone watching this, try replanting the root section that was removed from the "artichoke" section shown in this video. Also, I'd even dare to say that the small segments that were removed from the core may even be able to be planted in dirt, or sprouted in water, and then planted in dirt, that each of them may grow into a new plant. Yucca is a succulent plant and may root very easily. Give it a shot. I'd like to hear how that goes. Thanks for the great videos...keep it up bro!
Yucca soap mix in some Cattial jelly into the soap and make battle field wound cleanser. Neat information to know if y'all are out in the bush and get hurt with no way to get help in order to make survival medical soap and if you have aloe Vera you can mix in Cattial jelly for a really amazing medical gel. 😊
This is what the natives used for their hygiene and ceremonial uses. And yes this definitely can be used for shampoo and cleanliness. Think about all the different sopes used before all these modern companies pushing their chemically based products for money... Navajo Grandma has a channel that teaches these native ways also ...
@@average_janitor367 Indians are from India natives are from a particular place. EX usa, mexico etc. I also wouldn't recommend using the plants as a soap many are allergic to the sap.
Thank you for a very well-done, clear and simple video on how to actually do this. And, as a plant enthusiast, thank you for demonstrating the compassion of mentioning and being concerned for the life and well-being of the plant. Many thanks and much love, blessings.
Two thumbs up, one for each of you! On a softer note, when the yucca plant flowers, the scent is heavenly. Check em out if you ever see one bloom! Thank you Corporal and Son.
...and another great video and a great topic. Most people would over look this great resource. Also great to see the Little Corporal in action. He is definitely growing fast...
Awe man... you're a good dad. I'm into natural medicines. Thanks for the pointers with using leaves first. That's how I gather unless I have to take a root. Great video.
The ones here in Missouri grow massive root clusters, many ppl attempt to dig them up to kill them here with little success. We let ours grow for the vast number of uses.
WOW!!! I am also creating my own facial cleaning - all natural - products!! This is soooo awesome!! Thank you! I want to make my own soap, but only for my facial cleansing line. Have a blessed day!
Jennifer D. Yucca root is used as food in from Mexico into S America. Even on the menu in restaurants. It is a very starchy carbohydrate, so it is not a very nutritious food. But it does supply calories if you are in need. There could be some varieties or parts of the plant that are poisonous, but I have not checked that out.
I think you mean Cassava. Where I'm from, cassava is called yuca, so it's an easy mistake. But they are very different plants. The plant featured in the video is from the genus Yucca, in the spurge family. The cultivated plant in Mexico, Central, and South America that's edible is from the genus Manihot, in the asparagus family. Don't eat plants from the genus Yucca
Jennifer D. I heard once that it’s tapioca that they sel as yucca, especially when fried. It was a language barrier long ago and was never corrected. Accents..
Thank you for the video. I make my own soap using lye, oil and water, but today I ran across a video for horse chestnut soap. I am wondering if the chestnut trees in Texas can make soap? Here are many Yucca plants here and I will MOST definite try this. I make my own soaps and body butters. So, thank you so very much for this. I can hardly wait to try this. Have you tried to make chestnut soap? Please let me know. Thank you again!!!!!
😂😂😂😂 nothing replaced"real shampoo or soap. " Ummm this is the REAL SHAMPOO and soap. Good tutorial, someone asked me how to make it and I don't have a video with verbal instructions mine is silent, always looking to share good info. The natives used this through many parts of the country. I was told by a native friend about it originally. I had seen it was used but didn't understand...I have extremely curly hair and used to spend a lot of money in upkeep. Now I use yucca shampoo and everyone is jealous of my hair.i only say this because it is a legitimate replacement even if you have access to other things. The chemicals in shampoo can be among some of the strongest in your home besides cleaners, all being terrible for your health . I have converted several folks to um yucca shampoo and soaps. You can also add other herbs to your liking. Thank you for the descriptive video so I can share this with friends who ask
heres my only quam, if you can even call it that, Corporal i love your content. dont think of this as a negative critique. my question is this. If this is by no means a substitute for real soap, what do you tell those native americans who only used thid before real soap was invented. i think tyhis is a better alternative because no harsh chemicals and fragrances.
Hey corporal I have a question.. would a bayonet be good for a bush crafting knife? Reason I ask because I have one but if you would recommend then I’ll get a Mora knife .. Thank..! Love the videos!
I believe heat destroys the saponins, but I think a traditional way of preserving it was to mash the root and then dry it for later use. Just grab a handful and soak in water for a bit.
