Ikr rock sandwiches are the best

@@todddavidson1332 you guy’s meant NATIVE AMERICANS.

@@todddavidson1332 they sure do call themselves native, or indigenous although quite a few reclaim the i-term as slang and the older population uses it more

Wonderful!

​@@JunkyardFox I thought the information on the Ocotillo was interesting as well. I went onto eBay and was able to find three Ocotillo plants for sale, so I bought them. Thank you for your useful info, it is a lot of help to me in setting up my permaculture farm in this difficult climate!

I regrow them w seed’s. I have pink, yellow and a friend just gave me red yucca ( the flower’s) so planting like crazy. Such a wonderfully beautiful useful plant. I love them.

Yuccas are invasive here but I think the variety that is closest to me is toxic so I can't eat it

@@splashafrica Thinking of species as being invasive is often not helpful. There is usually a reason why a species does well in an area and if you just think of them as being "invasive" and concentrate on killing them, you will never get rid of them! If you find out why there are so many of them and correct that problem, the species will go away on its own! For example, a little while ago, I had too many rats, hundreds of them, and they were destroying my garden and my home, chewing on wood, raiding food stores and ravaging plants. The reason why I had so many rats is that I didn't have a cat! This makes sense, right? But cats were becoming hard to obtain in my area, because of this, there were too many rats. Now I have two cats and a lot fewer rats! Also, even toxic plants usually have some function or other. Yucca leaves are bitter and poisonous as they contain high levels of saponins (soaps). Soap is bitter and toxic, if you eat it, but it has a function, right? Yuccas also have a function. You can crush the leaves into washing water and make suds to clean yourself with. It does have edible seeds, though, they can be eaten green like peas or they can be dried and crushed to make a flour, like grain. I hope that all of this helps you and I wish you all the best!

Allowing the wildlife to eat (and spread) seeds helps create more plants also.

So nice of you, we apprecaite the love!

I'm from Nevada also. I always wondered about eating the desert plants

hoping ot use it for our stone oven we jsut made too

I wonder when dry the seeds and season them like a nuts for a snack?

were planning to make some yucca seeds videos this coming year, including making yucca cakes

Our pleasure!

i ma very thankful for your kind words. im glad you enjoyed our video!

Theresa, glad you loved the vid, but PLEASE, love our So. west desert from afar. The unfortunate result of people from ALL of CA & OR, is you come here to change US into YOU. NO THANKS!

im gald our content is helpful! if theres anything 2020 has taught us, its that we are far less in control thatn we like to think, so planning ahead can make a big difference.

Thank you so much! im glad this was helpful. we had some classes planned but then all this covid stuff happened so we had to put the brakes on that, hopefully next year we can start planning them again.

Thanks so much. be sure to watch our wild edibles playlist to check out other wild desert foods

Thanks so much! 😊

youve got great taste lol

How do you get electricity then?

Solar panels? Biodiesel? ...... Hydroelectricity?

@@Bleepbleepblorbus Those don't sound very appealing, lol And I have a vehicle I use to charge various items. I had a solar panel but it was stolen. :(

Glad you liked it!

thank you so much, our mic actually broke while filming this video lol so audio is a bit lower than usual

Welcome aboard!

Thank you very much! I believe actions speak louder than words, especially in survival skills. We just released a new video, be sure to give it a watch.

stay tuned, we have several more plant foraging videos coming these next few weeks.

But avacados grow in hot humid climates. Not sure what you want them in the desert for?

@@Anthony-hu3rj I grow avos in the High Desert. Definitely not humid. There are many varieties that can tolerate into the mid-high twenties.

Thank you kindly!

i appreciate your views, greg!

I would definitely rather be in AZ with sane people

Glad you like them! be sure to check out our playlist section so you can see more videos on native edible plants or other playlists like catch and cooks and knife reviews!
