I lived in the Tucson area most of my life, unfortunately most of these videos focus on one season. Thank you for mixing it up. What do ya do, eat cactus fruit once a year and get sick and tired prickly pear pads the rest of the year? Lol

If I ever get caught in a survival situation I'm going to do my best to make sure it's not in the desert. Lol!

I grew up in Elpaso, now live south of KC. The temperature is much easier to survive there in winter but there is so much more here to survive with in the winter.

Those cholla fruits are also really nice when sliced and allowed to steep in some chilled tequila or mezcal.

I myself when I keep going to an area where I pick edible plant's, fruits. I always make it a habit to take some seeds or trimmings and plant them at home in pots and once Spring time comes I plant them in an area around where they came from and are needed . As a way of saying Thank you . Instead of being a greedy person and just take, take, take and not give something back in return. I DARE YOU TRY THIS and make a Vlog of it. 👌👍😃

Madrone, yo! Madrone has a symbiosis with juniper. Seedlings need the juniper to survive there first summer or two. Then they take over and kill the juniper. But, they're susceptible to fire, so the juniper comes back till a madrone kills it. Transplanting, I was told, is poor. 1 out of 10,000 survive but I'd like a few in the yard. Deer, rabbits, goats and more love the bark, but juniper protects it for years. Javelina are back for winter vacation in the valley, so maybe no cholla. They do love the fruit. No pencil cactus in the area that I can find. And, yes, I'd like some. This is Zone 9 A.

My man This channel has been an awesome find for me I live in coastal South Texas and so many EDC survival, and camping videos are geared toward a more forested and not arid regions like mine. So long and short ... thank you and I look forward to more videos.

Didn’t realize you were in Texas . Howdy cousin . I’m on the far opposite side of the state . Sounds like the Madrone berries could almost be used for jelly or jam. The bark would probably be good for a fire starter as well . I’m not familiar with the plants but I’d try them and the tea. Thanks for sharing your trip

Agarita plant, though not a winter fruit producer, has very tasty red berries. Also Morman Tea, we call it popotillo out here, can be made into a tea and is said to have urinary tract benefits. The sweetest fruit is from a cactus that I think is Mammillaria meiacantha. I live in West Texas but East of you.

If that bark tea was something new, I would have just steeped it as opposed to boiling it. I have no reason to think that bark has an issue with boiling it, but when introducing myself to something new, baby steps are best. For reference, I'm from further north and Labrador Tea has taught me this lesson. Thanks for the video, nonetheless!

You don't need studies to know if a plant is medicinal bro... Most plants have "medicinal" properties, they want you to think you need a study, or to make an isolate, to extract a compound so they can cook up a "pharmaceutical", pharmakia means SORCERY, that's why big harmas drugs do nothing but harm!
