Hello Paul , thanks for the answer about the insects , the information will come in handy I've just got back from a 3 day 3 night solo camp with no food or water , so I was foraging on the coast , I did find a water stand pipe which was from a dodgy source , I had been living on wood lice , snails crabs , winkles , samphire sea beet , and sea holly roots , with some sea. Weed , it was fine for the short term , but I was eaten alive by midges I was using insect repellant it just did not work ,cheers Atb Martin ps I put all water through a life saver bottle with no ill effects cheers Martin
Outlander Bushcraft where abouts you setting camp OB?? Do you got any good recipes with the listed meals you shared..would love to know mmore..cheers ?
Hi kanzee, as I was just out roughing it I didn't have any recipes I just boiled everything up , but I did cut the sea holly roots and added sugar to candy them up that was nice I will put vid up soon cheers Atb Martin
Paul Kirtley #AskPaulKirtley (Yes. it's just a little follow up question but I'll add the hashtag since you asked for it.) I'm sorry I did not hear the Scandinavian brand of mosquito repellent perhaps due to the pronunciation? I know about Mygga, djungel olja & US622 but not the one you mentioned, what country did you find it?
Question ? Wild foods in the UK ! Name the top 10 / 20 things NOT to put in your mouth under any circumstances ? Eg, Causes Blindness, Death, kidney failure, ETC, ETC, ETC !!!!!!!! Many people like me would find this interesting and useful !
Owen Joseph King It's certainly worth a look Owen. I don't have video footage of all the plants I would include but I probably have all the photos I would need to create an article. I'll see what I'm in a position to do. It's definitely firmly on my to-do list in whatever form it ends up taking.
Paul Kirtley Even if you do it over the space of a tear, You can film things as and when they come into season and show them against other foods that they may be mistaken for ! I think a big worry for many people like me is "FUNGI" that is why I leave ALL Mushrooms WELL-ALONE ! BUT not only that, I have heard some absolute Nightmare stories and some of the effects are truly hideous, People needing emergency surgery to save their lives etc !
#AskPaulKirtley in the UK where's the best place to get away which contains the best food,shelter options etc. and best chance of not being bothered by other people
+Paul Kirtley many thanks Paul , just asking as sometimes you just need to get away for some quiet R&R but inevitably bump into someone on this crowded Isle
Great video and some nice info The oddest thing that bit me was a spider in the UK and I had the poison line up my arm in the vein never did find the culprit as I was on an overnighter on the beach. I use this to keep the insects off lol I look a right nana but it is a great top and mesh is fine to keep midges out. www.bushwear.co.uk/bhw-bug-proof-midge-jacket.html
Lots of great information packed into this video so really appreciate you taking the time to share this ~Peace~
Thanks Zed.

My mum used to candy Alexander stems. They make a lovely sweet treat, but she used to decorate some cakes with them.
Paul, I really like this serie. ATB Arnd
Thank you Arnd :-)

No mention of permethrin on clothing against midges, mosquitoes, but more importantly against ticks
Enjoyed this video, thank you.
Great information. I just found your channel. Will be back.
Paul Phillips Welcome Paul.

Owen Joseph King Good question.
Paul Kirtley What do you think ? Would you do a Video on this subject ?
