Southern Foraging Snap-Shot -Summer- Basic Tips and Technique 

I appreciate your videos very much . You are to the point and cover important subject matter without all the fumbling around and opinion pushing . You are a true TEACHER . Thank you !

Your whole property is like a grocery store. An abundance of different foods available

Excellent job, kudos to your videographer the close up shots are some of the best I have seen. Additionally your teaching skills and ability to narrate keep the viewers focused and interested in learning, great job

I love the foraging videos. Even if a lot of what you have there doesn’t grow in my area (Ohio) it’s still good to know. Ya never know where you may be in an emergency! Greatly appreciated. God Bless! ~Lisa

Great videos. Very informative. Let’s not forget that all this was common knowledge of the “ first people “ inhabiting this area, before Europeans arrived at the scene. Thank you. You have thought me a great deal.

I just found your channel. Im enjoying what I've seen so far. I was humbled to learn of several new foods to me. 1- the Texas persimmon, ive eaten the orange ones almost 50 years and never knew of the Texas variety. 2- The sand paper tree, totally new to me. I'm learning from you and am grateful. ATB from Oklahoma.

I live in texas and have been wanting some sort of insight into identifying food sources. This hits the nail right on the head. I've looked online and couldn't find Jack. I've learned more from this vid then the year of doing research.

I am so glad I've found your channel! I am amazed at your knowledge for as young as you are...a lot of what you are showing we do have in the North. I didn't realize that God had given us so much good on our land. so I will be checking out a lot of these foods and will be teaching it to my grandchildren so they will hopefully never have to go hungry! Thank you so much for sharing.

I would like to see a video on foraging the fresh water clams you speak of.Thank you

oh how i wish i had a brazilian dude making the same content about my country areas. Really nice man! Keep it up!

Bob, you always amaze me with your knowledge. I was stationed in Texas and I experienced the heat you spoke of. Shade takes on a whole new meaning.

I think out off all the channels I'm subscribed to, you're the one that actually deserves the most subscribes your channel is very productive and learnfull ( English is not my main language, srry for my faults). You're honestly my favorite youtuber by far!

You're the man Bob!

More of this please and thank you!

Nice video ..I was born and raised in Texas. Love Texas and God Bless America. Thanks amigo

Come down to south Florida for a week and try winging it in the woods like I do; Lots of stuff around here you could eat wild- but also some tricksters that could land you in the ER. LOTS OF FUN!

now I remember when talking about nature in texas. .it reminded me of walker.

Wow this channel is awesome!

Very cool stuff. I am learning a great deal watching your videos!

Very nice video, I'm not from Texas so a lot of this info doesn't apply to me but it was enjoyable to watch none the less. I like your demeanor and the way you explain things.

Congratulations... You have become my favorite RU-vid channel. lol. But, seriously what you do is great, important and greatly appreciated. Thanks

Totally informative video. The close up shots of the leaves and seeds was a great in identifying the plants and trees.

another awesome video, very informative & entertaining, i watch all your vids & never miss one, please keep them coming! :D you're the man bob indeed!

Great video Bob. Some of those plants I didn't know about. You are lucky to still have red ripe chilies on the bush, the birds usually get them before we do. I love Texas persimmons, they taste so good when they are warm off the tree and a very good laxative if you need it. You did some serious sweating in this video. Thank you Bob for teaching me about some new wild food.

awesome, I need to watch this video once a day just to learn what to eat out in the woods.great styff

i love your channel, such a wide variety. i am from Missouri but moved to New Mexico. I recognize so many plants from both areas and I love learning new ideas for them.

Great video ! Very informative. Thanks very much and keep the camera rolling. Best wishes from N. E. Texas.

We recognize this thumbnail, LOL. Had a great time meeting y'all at the Self-Reliance Expo last weekend! We can't wait to look through your videos to see what we can learn!

Out of the 11 years growing up in Texas (I eventually moved) , I never knew that you could the mesquite beans!

great video hope you get better soon!

Wow, your knowledge on the plants is incredible, so awsome that you have access to all of this!!!

Awesome video. Your presentation of the material is great. I enjoy your teaching method and how the information that your are delivering flows. well thought out and put together. Thank you.

Thanks BOB great info

That was very helpful. Good work. Thanks for sharing.

First time stumbling on to your channel and I watch a *LOT* of survival/outdoor/backpacking videos! You have a new sub! I put you right up there with "Ray Mears." So much information packed into one video that I'll have to watch it again and again... THANK YOU brother.

That was a lot of good info. I am looking forward to eating yucca. It looked really good in one of your older videos.

Just found your channel... And im loving the content! The cpl vids i caught are so informative and well shot. Nice to have the South so well represented. New subscriber!!

Love your channel. I live in south Bexar County so I find your videos very helpful!

Great video Bob very informative, well documented Thank you for sharing Hope you getting better mate. ☝️🇬🇧

Love to eat Tunas! I seen them in different colors too. Great video!

Recently found your channel, lovin it. Learning from you about some things we have here in the Ozarks(America's Eden). Learning some new uses also. Thanks.

dude thanks you for this I live in southwest TEXAS and this vid is very helpful hope you can make more

I was watching your video on the Yucca plant again, and again, when I got now but there’s no way I can pull myself away from your videos to read what came in, I look forward to your summer foraging video in June. I try to take pictures During your videos to help me remember, the problem is remembering what you say about them, the edibles, that’s why I rewatch your videos over and over LOL, that’s why I was asking if you ever thought of making a Book on wild edibles there in Texas, just keep me in mind I’m first to Buy two of your books, thank you Bob

Indeed! The ones up north can also be used to stun fish, or as a mild bug killer for your garden

Very informative! Thanks for sharing.

That looks absolutely amazing

Newish sub here. I love and respect your passion for survival. Something really admirable. Really appreciate everything you're teaching, showing, demonstrating, providing, catering, and everything in between. seeing so many people eager to learn about how not to die with sustenance thriving around them gives me hope. Again much respect! Do I have any brown on my nose yet?

Thank you =D. This is gonna be my absolute favorite video you have done yet. Simply for all the knowlege you pass along & the double take of each thing you speak about. I really hope to see some more of what is under the surface that you didnt scratch. Much love ty agian. your friend from Ky Blue

One of your best vids

Great Info that’s Bob 👍🇬🇧

Wonderful video! Took me back to my days in NW Florida of stuffing my face on blackberries, dewberries, haws, huckleberries, mulberries, orange palm dates, tiny wild plums, pecans, hickory nuts and scuppernong grapes (we called them 'scupnins')... not to mention watermelons stolen from my cousin's garden. Texas looks an awful lot like Florida up around the Alabama line-- you can find hills full of wild persimmon trees growing everywhere up there if you know where to go. Lots of wild onions around the Panhandle too. Great bit about the mesquite beans; I now live in the Sonoran Desert, and every year my town announces when mesquite grinding is available for anyone who brings in clean, non-holed beans (there's a very low price for grinding, totally worth it.) Pinole is lovely stuff; but I thought I should tell you that the young green mesquite beans actually ARE edible-- when they're young and fresh the tree is sometimes called the 'candy bar tree' because of the faint sweetness, and you can snack on them. You can also cook them down and make a syrup; I haven't done that myself and it's too late in the year for me to try it (next year, though!) but I understand that it's very good and rich. We also have the little red chiltepin peppers out here-- the locals call them 'bird peppers' because birds eat them and then drop the seeds when splattering the landscape with white bird-bombs. Fiery little things, those peppers! Kids here dare each other to eat them.

I live in Canada but you earned a subscriber!

Awesome video Bob..............Thanks for the knowledge Have a nice day C YA

Keep up the great work

Tell me all the colors of the wind Bob lol. But for real u da man

Very good video. I enjoy foraging videos a lot.

I love you videos!!

Yep, great video good information. Im in california quite bad diversity and greenery southern cali

great vid!

I had no idea Texas Persimmons existed. Awesome!

Great video, Thank you and THANK YOU CAMERA MAN!

Love your videos

I once read something about a relationship between cicadas and “bumper crops.”

Enjoy video very educational thanks

Keep up with the awesome videos your awesome Bob💙✌🏼️🙂

Hey, when you were talking about all the stuff you can make with persimmons, I didn't hear you mention something called "persimmon leather". Didn't think that was just a Florida thing. If by some weird happenstance you've never heard of it (that'd be hard to believe :-) ) there are recipes for it all over the Internet. Think "persimmon jerky" and you've pretty much got it. You folks take care, stay healthy, and keep following that star.

love you videos Bob we have a few of those here in Ohio including Buckeyes

awesome great video!

Hi Bob, thanks much for the info ! I knew some of the things from being a boy scout in my younger years but had forgot about a few of them and then there are others you have not mentioned yet . I remember cattail roots and wild grapes were big forages when we were camping as a boy scout, among other things. A suggestion for you. If you were to take some good illustrative pics and assemble a book I believe you would have little trouble selling them . It would take some time to go through the four seasons but " in seasons & out of season " pics of forageable plants could be invaluable . Just a thought for you Sir. Love your videos ! Thanks much for sharing !

Your awesome bob

hey brotha hollerin at ya from Harlingen tx. rgv. appreciate the videos man! got my 5yr son getting excited for camping. can't wait to show him how much we can find from your videos. being from the same area.. let me know if you are on the search for any new techniques.! -Arroyo River rat,

If you find those marbled seed things that are dried you can rub them on each other and they produce heat. I used to do that when I was a kid so I could burn my sisters lol with the hot seeds. They really get quite hot

I have shared several of your videos all over the world..hope you don't mind.

nice job thanks for the great info

I always learn somthin new Mr Bob I was tellin my wife 2 fish with da soda bottles as "always til next time" lol love your vids

Tuna seeds can be ground into flour using rocks. Gluten free

Hey there Bob, hope you’re well, have you ever thought of making a book of these wild edibles with detailed pictures and descriptions,? Because I would buy two of them, I would have to say your videos are the best out there, and your camera person does a good job too, thank you so much and keep it up and if you decide to have a book on these plants please let me know, thank you, Question, do these plants go all over Texas or just a certain area?

Sir, you need to clone yourself and do these teachings/lessons for all the different environments. All kidding aside about cloning. One of my desires is to learn what is edible where I live. Southeast Florida. Your instruction keeps your audience interested. Though many of the lessons apply directly to your environment, one can see how to adapt. Keep up the good work.

yall have abundant forest there in S texas. here in Raleigh NC, we have alot of woods, but not near as abundant it seems. enjoyed the vid.

Nice video.... thanks

Can't believe the amount of stuff that's edible in the wild.

Lol, the buckeyes are good for crafting... but I doubt you'll do too much of that in a survival situation!

I live in South Texas. I really wish I could find someone like you to learn in the field. I go foraging myself with my books & apps but I really need a teacher. Can't find anyone . Very frustrating

I been hearing about edible tree barks that are edible to eat, so I was wondering if we have trees like that here in Texas and if so I was wondering if you could do a video on them. I mean why Savage a whole tree just for burning when we could break down the components of a tree and use it's parts properly. Hope to see a video on this.

good info brother, man I didn't even know those were peppers. I know what Im adding to my chili when I can't get the peppers I need.

interesting video

Those old yucca stalks make good fire boards and spindles

“Not everything in nature is made for us.” Truth.

NICE VIDEO AS ALWAYS. I LIVE IN NORTHERN TEXAS.I LOOKED ALL OVER FOR CHILI PAQUIN SEEDS. WAS WONDERING IF I COULD BUY A FEW SMALL PEPPERS FROM YOU MAYBE AROUND 5 FOR THE SEEDS TO GROW THEM IN MY AREA.

I am in the border with Mexico in Texas mesquite trees are everywhere

you have a lot of food around you nice video brotha

when will you make the yucca bread? I am really curious about how that will be made :)

It never ceases ti amaze me the knowledge you have my brother! Hope all is well bro. I cant wait for more of your content, you and Wood-Beard are an awesome duo!!! Makes me feel like I am really there, This is my favorite channel by far, and I have a lot of channels with RU-vidrs that are up there in numbers, but this one is my all time favorite! You rock! Thanks for the knowledge! Blessings.

Lots of info to digest. Great video. Is there an easy way to detect poison sumac? After looking it up, there is an enormous amount signs, nothing clear cut, and the bush/tree foliage is so close to other plants that it is extremely difficult to identify. Anyway, very informative, and a watch many times video and take notes. Definitely need to write and illustrate a book (s).

Bob trying to find info on the small mellons growing wild on the ditches and fence lines here in south Texas

Do you have much Puslane down there? Another great survival food. Good job on your videos, I enjoy watching your channel grow.

Is fracking there contaminating the waterways-just curious?

Hey Bob, new subscriber here. Are you anywhere close to Refugio/Woodsboro? great videos. keep up the great work.

sweet video is there's some kind of way to make a drink out of the prickly pear like a tea or something

Wow... Didn't realize how much food we have around us?
