I live in Central Indiana, NW of the the Circle. I used wild greens and fruit to save my life. I rarely have cooked any, I just made wild green drinks but, it'll set ya on fire! lol I have used some greens to cook with like the garlic, onion, wild ginger, garlic mustard and a lot of spice bush. (YUMMY). Wild foraging literally saved my life. Cleavers are delicious when the many seeds come on, then juice those.. it tastes nutty. I heard lots of people roast the seeds of cleavers to make a coffee type drink. I'd love to go foraging with you and Rachael and teach each other things we might have learned. I really enjoy all the plants you used in my green drinks except the onion type.. but, there's a lot of fabulous MINTS here too. I never heard of your channel. I'm in my 5th year of learning wild plants but of course, no amount of time is enough to learn all the abilities of these plants, especially the medicinal benefits. THANK YOU for you videos. I look forward to your new ones, now that Spring is here. *SUBBED*

Thank you, and yea the mint family is definitly one that has tons of uses and edibles in it. Kind of like the Mustards. i tend to lean a little more toward the eibility and less the medicianal so yeah im sure you have some experience there that i could learn from... frankly there is so much out there its hard for any one person to be an expert on it all. Just stay in touch on here and maybe we can work something out sometime in the future....

I recognize your hatred for garlic mustard and I feel bad because I feel like it’s like the gene with cilantro, but I am so grateful for your knowledge on curly dock because I have never known what to do with it
@reliablyrandomoutdoors2 жыл бұрын
Thank you for the feedback. its funny though because I love Cilantro and am usually very open with foods i like (obviously LOL) maybe it has to do with how it grows in different soil types or something because I am tellin ya it has been terrible every time i tried it.

three quarters through the video i was getting ready to ask, are there any that do taste good? I'm glad you included one

when showing some of the plants , please don't keep moving the plant around in your hand, hold it up, close to camera, so a person can really identify; ie Chickweed...otherwise you did well...Thank You for your knowledge...Greatly appreciated!!! Thank you for your time as well💛Be Well.

Thanks for the feedback. Im always trying to improve the quality of the vids. I usually don’t notice until editing just how shaky it is. I’ll keep working on it. If u watch any of our other content I would be curious any other feedback u have

Well I’m not sure 🤔 how it applies to the video, so I will with a degree of caution acknowledge that I agree with your logic.

Usually outdoor guys always carry a knife then you could have dug some of them up that you was trying to get up plus you are a little unsure about some of these not good you might kill yourself if you are not careful.

Don’t confuse analysis with lack of confidence. And I am well aware how tools can be used to dig LOL. Thanks for the entry level pointer…. Been a minute since I shot that one but if memory serves I was in between sales calls and killing a few minutes…. So I wasn’t actually harvesting…. If u are concerned about my expertise then maybe check out the Lacto fermentation of the rumex crispus that I touched on in this video, or maybe the volvariella bambycina video, that’s an edible whos look alike is the destroying angel! And I just got back today from a week long survival trip in Arkansas…. So I’m curious mr digging knife, do u actually know your $hit or are u just another Facebook forager who thinks they discovered something amazing the first time they saw a mullein plant?
