I love to freak my hiking friends out by eating things on the trail in front of them. And it's all because of you much love. And because of you I will never starve to death!

Yeah, I've been eating weeds for about a decade. It's almost never a turn on to people. Most people look at me like I'm insane

@@Katchatiger I know! I also hunt deer and people get freaked out about cutting up an animal too. If it doesn't come in a box or wrapper, it's foreign to people. Such a unique time in the world's history we're in.

@@ScottWConvid19 I think "sad" is a more appropriate description of this time in our history. We need to bring it back.

@ScottWConvid19 Жыл бұрын

@@ladyela9283 I would agree with the sad part because it really does add sorrow to the heart, however there will be no bringing the state of the world back to where it once was. Very few people will even have even a spark of desire to learn the truth. The times we live in were written of thousands of years ago and the prophecies are being fulfilled exactly as they have foretold. The King James Bible is the only English translation of the words of God from the original languages that we have today and every word shall stand, as they are written. But after the upcoming trouble,, things will indeed be set in the most excellent order

For a firebow set, I have used Pine Barren Goldenrod (Solidago fistulosa) for a spindle on a Heartleaf Sida (Sida cordifolia) fireboard to get a coal with good success. They both have low ignition temperatures similar to Yucca stem and Horseweed stem. Cattail stem on a Yucca fireboard works also.

I always used it for dried décor in the fall time. Spray with a bit of hair spray or soak in glycerin water to retain the blooms. Makes great flower arangments.

I love Goldenrod. It calms my anxiety. Canadian Goldenrod in Tennessee is very nice to smell but nothing like licorice or anise. More like a soft warm floral.

You could burn the fuzz from the seeds. Run the stem though a fire and the fuzz should burn quickly.

Nice! I might add from my experience Canada goldenrod works well as a spindle for a hand drill/ bow drill for starting fire. You can also sometimes find grubs in the stalk which you can eat or use as fish bait.

@innovativeatavist159 2 жыл бұрын

Seconded on the grubs! On a boy scout survival trip I used one to catch a bluegill which I then cut up and caught 2 channel cats with. We ate good that night.

Have you tried burning off the fluff like with milkweed? Or maybe boiling the seeds and seeing if the fluff will float to the top?

Great info & vids! I'm just discovering you... was researching wapato. Maybe you've already done it, but it would be great -- and quite useful -- if you'd put out a video about what to harvest in the winter (or any season). I might be a little late harvesting wapato, but I'm going to give it a shot anyway. I'm in the PNW in WA, on the coast just north of the Columbia. The area, landscape, conditions, and flora are largely new to me, having lived mostly in semi-arid areas all my life. So I'm a bit lost... but I'll learn.

Thank you for this. I was wondering if Goldenrod was edible as mine can produce some fairly large tap roots, so I was interested in that feature. I just hadn’t done any research on it yet. I’ll need to taste the leaves or shoots next spring as our Goldenrod season is over.
