"You and you alone are 100 percent responsible for positively identifying anything you choose to consume." That's a great comment. It amazes me how people who have a known, dangerous allergy to certain ubiquitous food ingredients (peanuts, etc.) are prepared to trust complete strangers with their lives.

According to my Forestry professor, when I took Forestry in college back in 1973 (it doesn't seem that long ago, but it is), a bundle of needles is called a fascicle. Like you said, white pine has five needles in a fascicle. Thank you for the information in the video!

@GrayBeardedGreenBeret 5 лет назад

Working on the navigation and the deeper dive into plant profiles which will include recipes. It's a larger project for time commitment and resources, and there isn't really enough interest in the videos to make them, so I am not sure that RU-vid will be the best platform for it.

I found a small bunch of oyster (Summer, the fall oysters were just starting to flush) mushrooms and some Boletes (to ID), too. Harvested some Sassafrass root and got in some nice exercise. You have some badass toads up there! 😆 Nice looking piece of land you got there, buddy, and good to see that beautiful pup on sentry duty. 👍

@ndubstar 3 года назад

I would mention an app called “ picture this”. You take a pic of a plant and it amazingly identifies it. Be sure sometimes if the leaves arent grown in much it might misidentify but amazingly its gets the right plant and i have identified most all plants around me. Some i thought were something else or just didnt even know they grew around me. I would recommend it.

@craigmooring2091 3 года назад

And yarrow, because of its antibiotic properties, was also commonly used as an alternate to hops in beer-making until the 16th century. [The low alcohol content of beer, as contrasted with wine, leaves it vulnerable to bacteria when your water isn't sterile, that's the practical reason for hops having become an ingredient in beer.] In a period of peasant unrest in Bavaria (as I recall), hops was mandated in the making of beer by the feudal lord because where the local brews used it, the peasantry was more tractable or docile. The hops plant, we've discovered, has more estrogen than yarrow.

Congratulations on the move to the Adirondacks, looks like to have plenty of great land up there in the mountains, big jump though from North Carolina to the mountains of the Adirondack mountains,you and your family are going have the time of your lives up there in the mountains of New York State, once again congratulations. Great video edibles, medicinal and poisonous plants, not many people who head into the nature really take the time to learn and understand the resources of the area that they'll be going into, which is very important when it comes to survival in the wild.

Hey Josh great videos. Your channel has quickly become one of my favorites. I noticed a lot of your videos are based off of survival in a certain area. I'm in the high Sierras in California. I'm not sure we have many of these plants. If I remember correctly there's a way to test plants for being edible, like rubbing the plant on a small spot on your skin then waiting a while to see if there's irritation, then if not, rubbing it on the inside of you cheek, etc. If you are familiar with this could you maybe make a video on it. Also another topic: I'm planning on spending a lot of time near the ocean. I was wondering if you could make a video on ocean/beach survival and what tools you'd recommend for this. Stainless vs high carbon steel etc. Thanks (sorry about the long message)

@GrayBeardedGreenBeret 5 лет назад

The Universal Edibility Test is more for soldiers who find themselves in a situation such as a foreign country trying to survive. It isn’t likely that they would have the time or familiarity with the foreign flora so that is done out of necessity. It takes over 24 hours to do it correctly and that 24 hours starts with an empty stomach so that the plant in question can be properly isolated. I haven’t done a video on that because it’s really not appropriate for civilians who have the luxury of taking their time learning the plants now on their area, with reference material and/or a local guide, eliminating the need to fast for 24 hours to test random plants that they could just take the time to learn.

I'd be interested to see you make some sawdust bread, one day. Sounds outrageous -- like one of those things multinational corporations do to skimp on their product (such as adding gypsum to bread, which they do) -- but it used to be something people actually did, back in the day. I've never tried it, myself, and I imagine it's a lot of work to dry the wood and grind it to powder. It's even said to be nutritious!
