you probably dont care at all but does someone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Merrick Finley i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Good video. Our yucca(Yucca glauca) doesn't get such a big, bulby collection of flowers. I knew yucca root to be a source for soap-making. My elderly Dad says they would roast Yucca seeds and eat them similarly to roasted, salted pumpkin seeds. I haven't tried that. I dunno if it's a bad idea, but it didn't kill Dad.
It was way cool seeing your Bowie knife come out to chop up the yucca plant. I did have a little smirk, when you used your folding pliers, knife to cut off the flowering part. But you always put things in potential survival. And if that's what you have, then that's what you use. I lean so much from your channel. I live in Central Florida, and most of what you talk about, it's also here. Great videos, perfectly edited
I love these.. They are very tasty my father taught us about the Yucca buds and flowers but we ate the stalk mostly.. Very good stuff, thanks for taking me on a stroll through memory lane!
I can hardly wait for June. For years I have admired my one and only Yucca plant with it's unique spines and beautiful white flowers in early summer. Now I know I can eat those blooms and they will taste great. I'm going to be watching that plant daily from June 1st on. I am crossing my fingers and hoping you start selling Yucca and Cactus plants. I'd drive to Texas to pick them up if I have to. ~Sherrie in South Carolina
The small Yucca we have in our area are very plentiful in a lot of our public use land. That's where we hike and use our bushcrafting skills. Thanks for all the great information!
Thanks to this vid, I Cooked up the blossom then two weeks later flowers. Great flavor and nutrition. It’s amazing how much volume of food is from a decent sized bloom. On the downside by daughters wouldn’t eat it even with a bribe.
This is so good to know! I did a lot of researching last year when I found some growing wild in north Georgia, but couldn't find anything about consuming it except for the mature flowers.
That looks like it would be delicious sauteed with some good olive oil, throw in some crushed garlic during the sautee process and finally throw in some red pepper, or crushed black pepper and a few pinches of sea salt to taste. Yup, made myself hungry running my mouth again...
Thank you for this video , it brings back memories from my childhood eating this delicious flower, the purple ones tend to be less bitter than the whites you are bless to have the purples.
Thank you. Going to keep making these videos for years to come. This channel is going to be a huge archive of primitive, survival , and outdoor skills. Glad you found the channel and appreciate the kind words. Cheers.
👍 Califlower is good stuff, Nice to hear that it tastes very good. Most survival types of food can taste pretty plain or not something you would want more of. But you really seem to be enjoying this. I certainly thank you for teaching of plant life to save one's life. Arizona of course has much of same Texas plants like cactus. Living in the South West desert, life out of doors can kill you very quickly by taking a walk and find yourself lost. I appreciate you showing us, even people who have lived here for many years, such as myself, how to look for a food source to save our lives. Of course we all watching realize that if we were lost, most likely would not have a cast iron Dutch oven or butter. BUT in my way of thinking about taking a stroll through the beautiful desert any time of the year, or even back in the states for that matter, a person should always be prepared for the worst of things happening. FOR survival just a few tools carried that doesn't break our backs, makes that time alone and possibly afraid, a heck of a lot more possible to get back in one piece. I like the bowie knife you carry and use. The smaller knives carried by most back in states with standing timber, has a lot of uses for detailed work. The large knife like you carry along with the multi tool certainly seems to be the best for our desert survival. I carry a K-bar from my time in military, along with the multi tool, Case folder, and small sheath knife. Taught as a young boy that knives can be lost, and it's good to have back up blades. Comment getting long, so keep teaching, enjoying your wisdom, your teaching is good stuff for me to learn. I will be practicing what I'm learning about South West survival and our plant life that is edible, even if you cook it at home. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Just found your channel and I am digging it! I have a yucca on my property in WNC tried to get rid of it several times but it is a resilient bastard! LOL! Now i want to plant another dozen! I will try eating it this year and see what happens. Thanks.
+Bob Hansler I saw the parentheses and I'm hoping that isn't a sign that Bob isn't doing well health wise. I just found your channel a little while ago so I don't know the order these videos were made in. I saw the one about his eyes. Seems like a real good guy . Man you make some good videos. I could hang out with this guy all day . I hope you get better Bob. I was wondering what time of year is best for these ? I was scrolling the comments look for the answer. Also can you freeze these? Big thumbs up from Oklahoma on the videos. thanks. Are you on any other social networks? FB and such.
The crime was not using the dutch oven, it was that metal spoon mudering the patina on that pot. Very useful video having moved to South Texas from Wyoming I need to revamp my the edible plant knowledge. This is good stuff keep up the good work. Just picked up another sub.
Never knew that Yucca was an edible plant . I just started watching your videos and really enjoy them . I think I'll just Subscribe . Keep up the good work . Best Regards .
Wish I knew this when I thru hiked the PCT in 2010! I saw tons of these. I ate lots of miners lettuce and some other edibles. With my ramen. LoL Great info!
Samuel Fogelgren I’m not trying to criticize you for your english because I don’t know any Swedish at all but just for future reference it should be “my mouth is watering”
Thank you, that's great advice. I have seen more successful ones on the side of the road with pods in late summer but haven't been sure what to take in order to transplant either.
Add some rabbit or squirrel, with some wild onions and potatoes if you can find them. Maybe some birds eye peppers. Little bit of water, salt and pepper to taste. All kimds of stuff you can do with these guys.
I've always had one of these next to my bedroom and never knew it what it was. Recently, and for the first time, it started growing the yellow flowers, which inclined me to believe that it was a yucca plant. All these years my dad has said that it was a pine or something lol
If you take some people out to practice primitive survival skills i would definitely go on that. I see so much potential in you texas foraging and survival skills. It looks like fun.
Ehh, complicated question. Takes a great deal of forward planning, as in planting. Growing around 500 agave now. Agave provides my starch year-round. Fruits supplement my diet... nuts are something I need to cultivate as I am lacking in fats. Perhaps possible, but it would be hard on the body.
Another thumbs up for you Bob, great video well explained and very informative . Are all Yucca plants edible All the best to you Bob hope you are feeling better. 🇬🇧
Our Yucca in Missouri usually only puts up one stalk. An early heat wave woke them up and they put out 6 more. I may have waited too long on the last 6 so I'll wait for blossoms. The stalks are unusually skinny. We usually have more time to gather them before they start separating.
Bob Hansler I binged all of them. I have been trying to learn the other uses of yucca for a while and you nailed them down. Glad to see your vision is doing well too.
I recommend to use eye protection if you are around these things. Once I got poked right under my eye by the sharp long needles walking past one of these.
I love all your videos! Would you ever consider making a video of how to catch blue crabs and cooking them outdoors but At least away from people since your videos is of you away from people doing your thing. I would love to watch that
That is definitely on the list. Putting a boat together for this coming sprng so that we can reach those areas with less traffic and more crabs. Might have to wait a few months, but it will definitely happen.
I live in the High Desert in Southern California and we've got tons of yucca around here. It looks a little different than yours so must be a different variety. I've harvested and prepared it several different ways now. Yesterday I got a really young piece less than 2 feet long and caramelized it in a cast iron pan, but even after 45 mins of cooking it still tasted bitter. Other times I've had it it remained too fibrous even after cooking in a pressure cooker. It's a good survival food if you're in an emergency situation, or if you just have a strong need to live off the land. But it wouldn't be something to eat just because it tastes good. Ironically, I found eating it raw as a salad was quite delicious but it tore up the inside of my mouth and throat. I've since read that can happen because of the saponins.
I'm from Louisiana and I'm used to seeing both species of native yuccas being Aloe yucca and Adam's needles. I would not mind trying them since I draw them in my artwork. But I see that's a Aloe yucca you are cooking given its large size and trunk.

Oh what a magnificent blossom. And so much food, it looked delichious. You are lucky to have it around. Thanks for showing! /Ulrica

I cut my yucca plant ti the griynd. It regrew and u planted the bit u cut and multiplied my plants. They will grow from cuttings.
Come spring, my dad is always on the lookout for the flower column. My mom then cooks it up. So good!
The small Yucca we have in our area are very plentiful in a lot of our public use land. That's where we hike and use our bushcrafting skills. Thanks for all the great information!
Right on my friend, you do a great job at explaining all the parts, very informative... Lived in 29 Palms California and had Yucca down there...

So yummy
the idea of eating food grows only once every year , really amazing , thanks for that video bob
You are amazing. You have a lot of valuable knowledge!
Thank you for this video , it brings back memories from my childhood eating this delicious flower, the purple ones tend to be less bitter than the whites you are bless to have the purples.

starting to bloom here in NM! can't wait to try.

This is awsome. Never knew they produced so much food

It looks really good. And it's about as organic as you can get.
We have plenty of yucca and paddle-cactus here in Tempe, AZ.
you need alot more subscribers, glad to be apart of your channel
Thank you for making this video I never knew that the yucca flower was edible.
me neither. now I know too!
Bob, your videos are awesome! Cant wait to taste my first yucca!
It'll surprise you. Keep wondering why it hasn't become commercialized yet.
GOOD WORK SIR
In live in the desert in socal these plants are everywhere. Good to know they can be eaten.
You make that look so delicious! I'm coming for dinner lol
Even if the stem hardens up a bit more, it will still be edible it boiled. It tastes pretty good, has a sweet sugar cane taste to it.
Man,these videos are great,had to subscribe.
sounds nice when cutting.My mouth watered for you eating
I have also watched your video on using the plant as soap
I always thought these were only in fallout
lesson learned again.. I imagen this something like chicory and other more "bitter" veggies..once sauteed it turns delisciously sweet ...thanks
Awesome video! Going to try it. Thanks for sharing.
I live in Sweden but i would love to taste different Yucca things
Samuel Fogelgren I’m not trying to criticize you for your english because I don’t know any Swedish at all but just for future reference it should be “my mouth is watering”
I went too Delaware yesterday and I saw a Yucca plant at the beach
Thought you where crazy till I tried it myself. Blossoms are great raw or cook. Now the yucca around here it in bloom I'm on my he hunt!
Nicely done and explained. Thanks for sharing.
ScreamingEagle Appreciate the comment. I'll be back up and producing hundreds of similar videos this summer.
Thank you, that's great advice. I have seen more successful ones on the side of the road with pods in late summer but haven't been sure what to take in order to transplant either.
your videos are really good..so many things i get
Moral of this channel. Learn to eat yuccy things to stay alive.
a seasonal delicacy, my neighbors protect the flowering buds fiercely on our street
Thanks for posting this I have these in my yard and had no idea it was edible, I’m gonna cook me some yucca😁
Here in Australia yukka are very popular suburban garden plants as they are drought hardy
Add some rabbit or squirrel, with some wild onions and potatoes if you can find them. Maybe some birds eye peppers. Little bit of water, salt and pepper to taste. All kimds of stuff you can do with these guys.
even though im a city boy (north east) these are some pretty cool videos you got here on this channel.
MMM, THAT LOOKS SO YUMMY!
I've always had one of these next to my bedroom and never knew it what it was. Recently, and for the first time, it started growing the yellow flowers, which inclined me to believe that it was a yucca plant. All these years my dad has said that it was a pine or something lol
put some coconut milk ginger garlic onion and chillis it will be delish
If you take some people out to practice primitive survival skills i would definitely go on that. I see so much potential in you texas foraging and survival skills. It looks like fun.
Great video! Thanks for posting
you can also cut and bake the roots to make a sort of yucca chip. very tasty.
No. nonono. Does not taste good, will make you sick. Do not troll concerning the consumption of toxins here please.
I've eaten it... with my family. On a vacation. No one got sick. It was actually purchased at a market. ???
Hey Bob hansler, do u think u can survive in the wild only on plants? And Is it even possible? Thanks!
Ehh, complicated question. Takes a great deal of forward planning, as in planting. Growing around 500 agave now. Agave provides my starch year-round. Fruits supplement my diet... nuts are something I need to cultivate as I am lacking in fats. Perhaps possible, but it would be hard on the body.
@@BobHansler great video I have a yacca in my garden very healthy and bloom every summer to autumn in England. I was wondering are all yacca edible?
Wado (ty) Bob. I have never tried yucca before.
ENJOY....THE SIMPLE LIFE !!!
Looks good to me! Thanks Bob.......
Back in the duo's in Mexico my mom use to make yucca flowers soup.It was very good but I haven't taste or eat them since those days anymore.
Great info Bob, but most yucca's here are three meters or so , how I get those stamps and flower-buds , love your videos, go on .xiz
You are going to have to find your way around that obstacle. I imagine that you would find a way were you starving.

It is not well.

I recommend to use eye protection if you are around these things. Once I got poked right under my eye by the sharp long needles walking past one of these.
Thanks for the tip
Looks amazing
Very informative, i like your vids
You should do a video on using the yucca for sowing thread and needle all in one as well as eating the roots. Bland as can be but didn't kill me.

Im interested to try this now in my garden i have 3 of these trees and a couple of damsen plum trees so free food lmao
I wanna try yucca it looks good
Removing the flower allows the plant to concentrate on vegetative growth & carbohydrate storage and can actually be beneficial.

I've harvested and prepared it several different ways now.

great video. I didn't know this was edible. thanks!
AWESOME VIDEO
Awesome stuff! Gained a sub!
Glad you found the channel. More primitive stuff it coming up.
Bob Hansler yeup it tastes like squash👍👍👍👍👍👍 u got a sub.
kind of puts me in the mind of cabbage when you chop them up.
bob. . is this the same yucca that people plant at home..sold everywhere in garden centre in great Britain ?
Babab Gigirl : most likely. Now the garden centers will have to guard their yucca plants carefully when they start to flower !! lol
Fantastic, which species is this?
great video
great information! can the bud be roasted over the fire? are you going to do one on eating the seed pods?
Carol here again. ....just saw the one on the fruit.
have you done a yucca soap video?
Yup
I'm from Louisiana and I'm used to seeing both species of native yuccas being Aloe yucca and Adam's needles. I would not mind trying them since I draw them in my artwork. But I see that's a Aloe yucca you are cooking given its large size and trunk.
looks like I'm going to try some yucca.....
