Could you send the link please, I can't find it online. Thank you :)

(my other channel) That is amazing to hear and all the answers are already in Nature. It is criminal how much Natural knowledge we have lost or been kept from.

Yes even before the plant has died and dried out the flower head will catch a spark and burst into flames. Those pools are almost constant even here so I can see how small frogs could utilise them.

Pondguru Outdoors Ok, now do some bush craft that I can use, ha ha ha.

Glad you enjoyed it - it's just great to get out and spend some time outdoors.

Wow yeah, that is quite a feat for a mixed content channel and I never had any targets in mind when I set it up. Hopefully I will be doing some give aways before 75k as I missed the boat for the 70k. Not sure how to do that yet but something will be coming soon.

Groovy - glad you enjoyed the video, man. It bugs me if I don't know the name of something and it has got to the point now where I not only want to know the name but I also want to know about the plant and its uses, lol.

Yes that was part of the lore here too - I may have missed that out, lol Thanks for mentioning it.

No they would break up very quickly I reckon - much better with a metal card.

Yes, even in the wild you can find teasel heads still attached to the old plants which have lasted a whole season out in the weather so they hold up amazingly well.

Good one and I mention the Lymes disease in the video description but it makes me wonder how many other ailments can be cured from some of these plants we have in the UK? P.S. How did you view the video as this one is unlisted, waiting for a good time to upload it. I notice some of my unlisted videos get views and I can never work out how that happens.

I have been a woodsman ever since I ran to the woods at the age of 12, and at nearly 60 years of age I still do not know everything, however I strongly believe that "Mother Earth" provides for all animals needs, ( man is an animal in my head) so there for I feel we have a natural cure, look at scorpion venom medical uses in the treatment of some types of cancer etc. My late Wife and I where always Interested in "Natural Medicine I do not do TV, so you tube and bush craft is what I look at when I need some sensible education, sorry my friend I have no idea how I see your unlisted videos,;computers is not my field of expertise.There are some channels I learn a lot from, yours is one of them, I only subscribe to certain channels, I think you communicate the subjects well, with out any drama!;I like your tips and tricks for Hunting and this set of videos for plant ID and uses, I feel is a piece of great work and reference for the future generations, and to finish I must say every idea of yours I have actually used has worked very well for me, and yes I do get out every day / weekend, although now I find I need a larger self inflating mat if I am " kipping" in the ground basha. :o) regards Richard keep up the good work my friend who knows who will see your videos in 100 years time.

Wow thanks very much. I do regard this series as having value when it contains many more plants as although it is probably the area most neglected by anyone practicing outdoor skills (myself included) it is one of the more important ones as so much of that knowledge has already been lost. I reckon many channels just concentrate on whatever videos they think will get the most views but as I'm not views / subscribers driven (hence the wide range of different topics on the channel) I certainly don't feel as if I'm wasting my time putting this together as quality of viewers will always win out over quantity whenever the videos have an educational content. I can only dream of getting out every day as I work long hours 7 days a week but I would certainly make videos every day if I could as the outdoor video scene has an infinite amount of directions to go. Glad you enjoy the videos as I love making them.

Yes thanks for the addition there. I learned that at school but conveniently forgot the term while making the video, lol

Wow I never knew that - I will check the heads when they die off. Thanks for that tip.

Everything Natural is good for something but we've lost so much knowledge over the last few hundred years (since the last reset) that we're scrambling around looking for the true information occluded by time (and the 'elites'). Everything we learn from back before the days of 'trust the science' is worth more than gold.

Yes that was probably the thinking behind the lore but as those pools will collect bird muck and other detritus I wouldn't fancy rubbing that near my eyes.

+Pondguru Outdoors I don't blame you lol could you do me a favor Richard and email me on sureshotno1@yahoo.com I'm looking for some advice on making videos I've just started with detecting videos and could do with any advice you could give me cheers simon

No worries, I'm no Spielberg though so I'm not sure how much use I will be. Emails are so impersonal so I will email you my phone number and just give me a ring any time.

+Pondguru Outdoors perfect mate your a legend

....and my ignorance is exposed once again, lol Thanks for the clarification.

Nice one - thanks for the information.

@@pondguru He mentions that the soft thorns on the back of the leaf are easily removed. He boils it three times to remove the bitterness. I like the bitter taste of collard greens, so they can be eaten similarly. There is also Asian bitter melon recipes that might work.

@@padredemishijos12 If the knowledge of wild food has not been so suppressed since the early 1900's we would have recipes for almost everything out in Nature. It is good to re-learn that information.

@@pondguru ''Young (teasel) leaves are edible although one must take great care to avoid the spiny, stout hairs. Teasel leaves can be consumed raw, cooked or added to a smoothie. The root can be used in a tea or for making vinegar or tinctures. The root has many health benefits as it contains inulin and a scabiocide.'' Teasel Dipsacus fullonum - Edible Wild Food

@@padredemishijos12 Great stuff - it truly is one of the 'miracle plants.

(my other channel) Good one - thanks for the input. Nature has cures for everything and I'd love to go back to a time when people had extensive knowledge about simple cures instead of relying on chemical poisons from the doctor which cause more problems than they solve.

Yes it is classed as an invasive species here too but never seems to get out of control.

Arctic Gator farmers hate it .......and spray for it so be careful

I'm hoping to alter my work schedule to allow for that but detecting takes many hours / days to put one decent video out so with family, work and clubs my free time is very rare.

Vlogging grinds on me too as its clear that the uploader is just after quick views and income. The main problem is that there are so many viewers out there who have no lives of their own and live their 'life' out through others and what they are doing. I really don't think people need to know every aspect of a KZfaqrs life and the amount of times some of these channels simply make stuff up to garner sympathy from their sheep-like viewers to rally behind them and their made up life of tragedy is beyond a joke. Fake people supporting fake people.....uuurrrghhhh...not for me either. I actually feel guilty if I don't have anything educational in a video which is probably taking it too far the other way, lol

Glad you enjoy the videos and thanks for watching. I've looked hard and I can't see anything in the woods there except some leafy small tree blowing back and forth. We don't have any large predators here (biggest would be a fox) but maybe there was someone lurking about as I did hear voices earlier before I started filming and couldn't see anyone.

Thanks for the quick response Richard , The object i'm referring to is in the thumb nail of the video , It's very large & moves back & forth within the tree line behind you . I know some countries have bears , We do not . But i was concerned when i saw this mysterious shape .considering you were seated doing the video . I showed this clip to a friend of mine living in the UK. I'll just have to wait for him to get back to me about it . I'll let you know what he thinks it is . For all i know it's a person having a sticky beak or nossy parker on what your doing . But anyway i really love your video's , There's great some ideas That get me thinking .lol . But before i go , I really love how you set up the pond & yard . gives a peaceful atmosphere .

Yes living and working in such a nature filled environment really is very relaxing so I don't ever regret the work involved in creating that. I still can't see anything in the thumbnail and that is just a still shot. If there is a specific time you want me to check in the video write it like this 02:43 and it will create a link which will jump to that point when it is clicked on. I'd love to think there was some sort of monster following me about.

Hi Richard , My friend just got back to me .he said it's a very rare type of animal that very few people see. What is a wood wose ? I honestly thought it was a bear . But as you said biggest is a fox. But anyway i will still be watching your video's , oh by the way i used a whistle for foxes . as i couldn't make the sound on my finger like you can. ttyl.

I had to look that up as I had never heard of it but now I am even more intrigued. I can't see anything on the video which is suspicious and you say you've seen it i other videos? and your mate could see it in this video? The green man / wild man goes way back to pagan folklore and if I knew where it was in the videos I would most definitely revisit there to try and capture it on film.

There are so many causes of pain that it is best to look into what causes pain / inflammation and change diet accordingly. Many of the foods we eat cause inflammation and pain, e.g. sugar, processed foods, cereals etc. so the best way to reduce pain is to change diet. Basically everything we've been taught about diet at school is wrong. We need more meat, fat and protein and less vegetable oils. Our minds and bodies are being destroyed by vegetable oils and processed food so going back to a simpler diet is the key to unlocking our potential. If you're looking for an ingredients list when choosing what to buy simply reject anything that has any ingredients and you'll be as healthy as the Amish. Everything should be cooked from scratch and while that's not always possible to do we should all be striving to use proper meat, home-grown vegetables and our own harvested / grown herbs and spices. Pain is generally a symptom of pharmaceuticals - avoid any pharmaceuticals, grow food and cook with proper ingredients. The pain will no longer be an issue. Prevention is always better than 'cure'. I've been torn open many times, stitched up and I've broken or dislocated almost every bone / joint in my body due to my careless attitude to dangerous hobbies but I take no pharmaceuticals at the age of 50+ - and I have no pain (even in the English Winter) since I don't have inflammation from processed muck, sugar or convenience food. Maybe my pain tolerance has increased over the years but I'm sure my improved diet has lots to do with how I feel. I feel better now than I did in my 20's and 30's - that's not the generally accepted norm but every pharmaceutical has a side effect. I'd rather not have the side effects of the chemical poisons.
