Most Dangerous Wild Plants I've Eaten...and I survived 

Я ел семена дурмана белого, не понимаю что это. Будучи ребёнком, но я съел немного и всё что получил так это обделался

And this is why the skin test always wins. Knowledge is a far more useful tool than a perceived iron gut

Like weed

What doesn't kill you, makes you constipated...

​@@Garjahn😅😅😂😂😂 or not hahahaha shitty pun intended.... sorry I'm a bit of a nerd.

You misspelled mor0n. Chad is a mor0n. Only mor0ns eat wild plants that they cannot identify.

Como diabos tu comer veneno presta atenção

@@RenanHonorato-fo8gnNah, that’s just a Chad in its natural habitat.

The dudes survived after trying manzanita!wow!

@@RenanHonorato-fo8gnnot all poison looks like poison

Thank YOU bro!

I have had a strong digestive system for a long time but they checked me for injury and all tests came back negative.

The information in this video may help some avoid some pain and suffering.

I have so many stories.

Someone actually warned me online not to eat too many prickly pears or it could cause severe constipation but I didn't remember. I'm also a little skeptical when someone says not to do something because the same people may say not to go outside when it is cold and I just find it beneficial to go out in the cold.

My pleasure 😊

Real life experience

You’re welcome 👍

I'm glad you like it

Kids, don't do this!

Yes, exactly right. I realize very well that I took risks. I understand the universal edibility test and have used it a few times but in most cases I'm hiking through a place and may not see a particular plant again. The first three cases happened far away from home and when I find something new I want to learn about it right away. Testing it right there on the spot is the fastest way to learn but also risky. I've had less serious effects from a few other wild plants too. I'm just so curious and I want to be more than just a theorist. You know what I mean?

@@ChadZuberAdventures yes i do know what you mean. and I too have done the edibility test I learned it very young about 6 yrs old. I forgot i did it with goose berries when i was told they were poisonous about 9 years old and were for the birds. Later i learned what they were but already eaten enough to now they didn't make me sick. lol Your knowledge is why you go those extra steps. same as when you leach the acorns if we didn't do that we would get sick from them. I've had some tell me to reduce the bitterness of dandelion leaves to bring to a boil for a minute or 2 and dump the water and then cook and eat. it's supposed to get rid of the bitterness. Being i prefer their roots and make my own roasted dandelion root tea, I've not really eaten the leaves. I much prefer wild spinach aka lambs quarters.

@@PRINCESSDREAMYLYN I eat raw dandelion leaves on occasion. I don't enjoy them. They certainly are bitter. In most cases I have always eaten edible foods in moderation. There have been many times that commercially available foods like beans and potatoes have caused me an upset stomach. I tend to avoid those now or just eat a very small amount. Combinations of foods also have an effect.

@@ChadZuberAdventures yes i agree some foods wild or tame can cause issues. Maybe try the boil and toss the water off the dandelion greens see if it removes the bitter taste I'm not fond of them because they are bitter. and i love the roasted roots and drink it more like a tea and like it better then coffee.

There are foods that aren't ideal and are more of an emergency survival food. Skunk cabbage is one of those.

When i was i kid, i eat one of those flowers just for curiosity, leason learned, never again. Your mouth hurts, and you washed over and over, and do not get's out, i took me like 2 or 3 days to clean that awfull sensation in the mouth.

Thanks a lot

You are welcome!

Thank you

Thank you!

I've been willing to take risks. It's part of the learning process. Consider me your science project.

Thanks, I really appreciate it!

Some people are very curious. I'm one of them. If someone tells me that a plant is toxic and I shouldn't eat it then I want to know why. I want to know how toxic is it. Beans are toxic, tomatoes are toxic, alcohol is toxic but yet most people consume them. So by sharing my real life experience with these plants people can have a better idea of the reality.

Glad you enjoyed it

I'm glad you found it educational.

thanks!

I hope you enjoyed it

К сожалению, я совершил большую ошибку с опунцией.

Gracias!

Thank you

There will be more

I’ve never used psychedelics

Thanks! I believe the oxalate levels vary greatly among the different species of the genera xanthosoma, alocasia and colocasia (elephant ear). In Mexico someone told me that one species is edible and the other is not. I still have to do more research to learn to differentiate which ones are lower in oxalates.

​@@ChadZuberAdventuresColocasia species are eaten in Asia and Polynesia. They just vary in oxalate levels and some cultivars have more than others.

Thanks for watching.

Yep, I never thought about the seeds being a problem

Gracias David!

Thank you, I will

Glad it was helpful!

Oh but not everything in the grocery store is safe to eat either. I once bought kidney beans in the grocery store and instead of cooking them I just soaked them in water for a day then I ate them. A few hours later I spent three hours with diarrhea and vomiting. Also, grocery stores are loaded with processed foods packed with synthetic chemicals and food additives that can eventually kill a person over time.

​@@ChadZuberAdventures It's not the grocery store's fault that you have a blueberry sized brain. Everyone with an IQ over 20 knows that raw, uncooked kidney beans are poisonous. Grocery store products are not dangerous. Being a dumb baffoon is dangerous.

​@@ChadZuberAdventures And no. It's not synthetic food colorants or other food additives that caused you to get sick either. Kidney beans just have natural toxins present in them. They grow that way. Cooking them is needed to denature(break down) those naturally occurring toxins. Don't blame food additives, when you don't know anything at all about the natural components of the things you eat. I bet one day you're going to buy a cassava root from a grocery store, try eating it raw, almost die and then blame the grocery store and SyNtHeTiC FoOd AdDiTiVeS. You're hilarious bro.

I try

Oh yeah, I'm feeling great now.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing this. I've read similar traditions about other edible plants too.

I wish I had more footage. I do a lot of experiments and I don't record them. I do experiments to learn and then maybe make a video in the future. But I had enough footage to show and tell the story.

Yeah, if people pay attention then they could benefit from this information.

@@ChadZuberAdventures Hopefully, when I was like 7-8 years old I accidentally touched a shroom which spores got into my nose and eye and irritated. I do not remember the name of it but it was an experience what I would not want again. For this specific reason (among with many) I am avoiding to harvesting mushrooms even if I know few already. Where I live there are not so much exotic plants you shown in this video but there are poisonous plants which can kill you fast if you eat their seeds or some of their parts. for just some example : Cicuta virosa Datura stramonium Heracleum mantegazzianum Aristolochia clematitis Laburnum alpinum There are more but that's just not youtube viable to put a lot. In Europe there are also a lot of fancy stuff what you first may see edible then it results a lot of pain or death.

Yeah, I can’t wait to try it again 🤣 Just kidding!

No, I never heard of that fruit

Thanks Robinhood!

Yeah, just think about it before eating.

Hyperglycemic? (High blood sugar)

@@DDeden Exactly. I got most of the letters correct. Ha. Ha. Thank you.

Some prickly pears are quite sweet. Others are not. I've eaten about seven different species.

@@ChadZuberAdventures Copy that Caveman. Adonai

You're welcome.

Let me tell you, 2023 was the year of failure for me. So many things just went bad. So much effort wasted. It was heart breaking in many ways but I think it made me stronger. I've come back with more determination than ever.

I continued eating prickly pears soon after this. Everybody thought I would be scared of them but the reality is that I simply ate way too many. But I am far more cautious now. I only eat a few at a time and I have other food with them. But I also now prefer to juice them and I separate the seeds and pulp and use them in other ways. The seeds can be ground into flour. The pulp and skins can be dried and added to soups or cereals or acorn flour. I also heat the prickly pear juice for several hours until it thickens and becomes a very sweet and tasty syrup. I love acorn pancakes, especially when combined with other tasty flours and pouring syrup on top. But my favorite way to eat acorn is to make acorn mush with fatty meat. It's so good!

It is. It had me contemplating death. I was imagining a slow death alone on the mountain.

You're welcome

Yes, the same with other nuts too.

Thanks for sharing this. My friend from Vietnam also prepares it.

"Se te van a tapar". Almost my last words heard. Hahhahaa.

Thank you!

Gracias!

It happened last year but I fully recovered.

Saludos!

Thank you very much

You're welcome

That is an interesting video topic. I will ponder that idea and see what I can do.

@@ChadZuberAdventures Great, this is perfect, I hope you like this idea and see this content, I am already very excited, I hope we will meet one day while having an adventure of survival on an island without knowing it :)) Thanks to your video.

Yeah, I totally underestimated the potential dangers of eating a lot of a fruit like prickly pear. But if you really think about it, it does make sense. And the fact that there was no sign of it getting any better. After three days it had just gotten worse and more painful. I could have caused serious damage to my intestines. That wouldn't be good.

Thank you!

Thank you so much! Blessings to you.
