We call the corn dog plant "cat tails" and they are pretty useful. Can use the "corndog" part for starting fires and you can eat the root. the stalk can be used when making a shelter.
Actually the "corn dog" plants as you call them.... are cattails.... they are a little known source of super food..... you eat them fried in a little butter or maybe olive oil..... you strip them down to the white inner core, and that is the part you cook and eat. They can also be ground and used like rice, or flour. Also, they can be used to make furniture......... one rule of thumb though..... best not to just pick and eat ones that are in swampy or stale water..... but thought you would like to know they ARE actually edible!
Yep - in camp we learned to strip and grind them into flour and baked bread. It was OK - like most "nutritious" things, the flavor was nothing to write home about Why can't stuff that's good for you taste like candy or something? :-)
I'm amazed that you have only 123k subscribers. With all the great places you go to around the country. Always have my morning WOO before I head out. Thank you Adam.
When you walk directly on the oil patch, it adheres to your shoes and stays with you for a long long time. or at least till you hit carpet that gets in the grooves of your shoes. Those lines in parking lots that normally are clean and fresh. A good place to trek.
Good morning Adam....long time viewer first time comment. The item in the blacksmiths? ...Belows. The Smithy would stand at his forge and anvil and only had to reach up and pull down on the wooden poll or "branch" to force air into the coals for more heat. That's the way they mostly do it today if the don't use electric fans....mostly. Thank you for allowing all of us into your life Adam. It's so nice to know I always have something to make my day start with a smile. Amazing job brother, stay strong, be safe and always stay true to yourself. I'll see you tomorrow...comment over.
we still have outhouses here...they can still be used. one here thats a two seater and one at our ranch that is double size, but two seats...we use them for garden storage but they are still very functional.
That place reminds me of the Geico slasher movie commercial. "Why can't we just get in the running car?" "Are you crazy? Let's hide in the barn with all these dangerous farm implements!" Jason Voorhees would be... ;-)
Just a few things: the first item was a forge used to shape horseshoes, mainly and other shapes. The bellows products enough air to substantially increase the temperature to the eutectic point. The hook is for rangling hay bales ( which Harold pointed out, although it would make for a great torture device ;-)
lol these nights I enjoy. When I lay it down tonight I have about 4 AdamTheWoo vids to watch. Busy week. makes up for it especially when I work 7 days a week. appreciate it as always bro. be safe out there.
Mr. Woo, the metal thing you saw in the area where they made horseshoes was a hay baler nit an ice pick, they would use it to pick up the bales. The long things you call corndog plants are called cat tails. Loved the vlog. Beautiful.
I like your whistle soundtrack. Adam I'm glad you are doing well. As a long time follower I am happy to see that you have succeeded and have grown your channel so well. Keep going forward, and ignore the jealous cry babies.
I thank you Adam for showing the natural beauty of Florida, the best part of Florida besides the wonderful people I have got to known since I've been in Florida in 1984...
Hey Adam, at 8:09 that's a bale hook, easier to grab the handle on the hook and hook it into a hay bale for lifting when you're stacking bales. They are also used for just about any commodity that can be packaged into bales. Cotton, alfalfa, rag cloth, etc., you heard the term "use no hooks", that told dock workers not to use them because they would damage the baled product. Like animal hides, put a hook in a bale of those and you have holes in your leather resulting in loss, because who wants a hole in the toe of their new shoes. 8:17 that's your ice hook, actually, ice tongs.
the ice pick is a hay bale claw, you use it to move a bale usually there two of them , but if strong enough you can move them, and can be used for other bales and if northern are used for ice blocks
The overhead pole in the blacksmith's shop was used to work the bellows. The smith would pull the free end of the pole down then release it to raise and lower the handle of the bellows. The air from the bellows would run through he pipe into the forge and would increase the heat of the fire. It saved the smith from having to run back and forth between the bellows and the forge every time he needed more heat and kept him close to the anvil where he was working the metal.
growing up, my grandma had an outhouse for a long time, up till at least 1979, even though she had indoor plumbing. I loved using the outhouse as a little kid - she lived on a couple of acres of land and there weren't really any houses around, so... she and grandpa bought the house when it was all farmland.
Happy Earth Day Adam! Yup the majestic butterfly is indeed an insect :) I am a total bug nerd! My front yard is a certified Monarch Waystation by Monarch Watch. I raise them from eggs to caterpillars to butterflies. They are then released back into the wild. The Monarchs in the fall are tagged with my waystations number to help with data tracking for the migration season. There are a lot of us crazy bug nerds or citizen scientists out there helping to save the Monarch :)
Have to agree with you about growing things Adam. The last time my thumb turned green (And black & blue) was about 3 days after I hit it with the hammer! But I can appreciate the care & effort that goes into growing something well.
You are seriously one of the most enjoyable folks on RUclips! Started watching you later in your vlogs but it's all great my friend! If you're ever back in Pittsburgh, lots of great joints to check out for sure! Cheers brother!
I loved the time-lapse, was pretty cool. Safe travels for when you depart on Monday, and I look forward to watching your new adventures, wherever Large Marge may take you. Keep up the good work, mate. CTSG!
it's really cool that u show us your home town..also I really want to get to Florida sometime in the future so it's cool to have all this little bits of info from your vlogs....morning adam!
That thing you thought a horse would turn was a bellows. You pulled the log rod up and down by hand to pump the bellows which forced air into the forge and made the fire hotter.
St. Cloud Minnesota! Adam, we have a place for Marge and our spare Corolla to borrow as well as a knowledge of some sweet filming locations that occurred in Minnesota! We live near St. Cloud Minnesota and think The Daily Woooooo needs to join us and smell the petunias
Safe travels, dearie. Can't wait til your back running the roads among us truckers once again. It'll be...Majestic! 😆 Ooh, I really need my coffee this morning.
My hometown is Fontana, CA and I still love it with all of my heart, even though I moved away when I was 18. I visit occasionally and think about the past. They've restored quite a bit. BTW, I'm on the road too and I'd love to run into you!!! I'm looking forward to any meetup you are planning!! Smooches!
The stick in the "smithy" is used to control the bellow to better control the forge heat. In the beginning of the first Pirates movie you can watch Orlando Bloom do it.
when i was young,back in the mid,early 60`s.i can remeber my great grandparents having an outhouse on their farm.they never had an flush towlet until they move into elderly housing.they use sears and robuck catalogs for towlet paper
a walk through the woods in florida looks a bit different than a walk through the woods here in wisconsin , very nice to see. have a great day everybody.
Hey Adam, just wanted to wish you the best on the next leg of your journey. Looking forward to seeing where the wind takes you! I just started watching your videos at the end of last year and man am I hooked! I don't know if you do meet and greets but If your ever in Cleveland would love to have a cold one with ya. Be safe out there my man!
That old barn/cannery reminded me of climbing a ladder in cades cove and coming face to face with a chicken snake at the top. And other old barns around where I grew up
Enjoyed watching you're Vlog, I like having long walks myself walking to my city center from my flat, and it's about 3 miles from my flat to the city. But I enjoy doing it because you see things along the way.
Next time you are up in Indiana you should check out Spring Mill State Park in Mitchell, IN. During the weekends in summer they have a working pioneer village with a working corn mill and saw mill. They also have a blacksmith which is pretty cool to watch. Also there is a memorial to astronaut Gus Grissom at the entrance to the park as well, it's his hometown.
the native Americans would line their moccasins with the fuzz of the cat tails for warmth and as an absorbent in the papoose. the dried roots can be ground up to make a flour
What I understand about banana's, is they can only be harvest from a tree once. To get more banana's you have to plant more trees. That was a great walk. Chirp
There is one thing I'm really curious about, Adam. You were born in Tupelo and raised all over down south. How is it that you don't have a southern drawl?
I understand the hometown sentiment. I was born in OH, mived to GA when I was 4, so grew up there, you went throigh the town a couple months back, Cairo. Then we moved to TN when I was 17, tis where I met my hubz and lived there for 6yrs. We have in OH simce 03. So I have 3 places I consider hometowns.
3rd World Garage while I agree if Adam was on a regular TV show would it lose some of it's charm, I'd love Adam to have a film crew. Adam's filming and editing skills have come a long way, but Adam would be able to show more and do more if he didn't have to film himself.
Man, things were definitely kinda rough, before we had indoor rest room/toilets. Was such an interesting era to look back & learn from, at History's point of view.
Adam, I lived in St. Cloud, but I have no idea where that park is located. The end of your video makes it look like you were near the St. Cloud Hospital, but I think you were more near Narcoossee.
part of me wants to read through all of the comments to see how many people pointed out that A) those are cattails, and B) they are edible. another part of me says there are better ways to spend the time. I'm hoping you come to Cleveland this year. Be well!
9:48 old irrigation well with outlet pipe? But also possibly what is left of an old sugar cane press, would liked to have had a closer look at that 🔍 10:00 Cattails, that's what I've always heard them called and parts of them are edible, roots, shoots and I understand the pollen. 😝
We call the corn dog plant "cat tails" and they are pretty useful. Can use the "corndog" part for starting fires and you can eat the root. the stalk can be used when making a shelter.
I remember years ago some crazy kids would set them on fire on Halloween for kicks.
Actually the "corn dog" plants as you call them.... are cattails.... they are a little known source of super food..... you eat them fried in a little butter or maybe olive oil..... you strip them down to the white inner core, and that is the part you cook and eat. They can also be ground and used like rice, or flour. Also, they can be used to make furniture......... one rule of thumb though..... best not to just pick and eat ones that are in swampy or stale water..... but thought you would like to know they ARE actually edible!
LadyDragonsblood it is the root of the cattail that you eat. kinda tastes like a potato.
Galen Long I know....but you have to strip it down first.
LadyDragonsbl We use to soak them in kerosene and use them as torches. They would burn for a long time.
Yep - in camp we learned to strip and grind them into flour and baked bread. It was OK - like most "nutritious" things, the flavor was nothing to write home about Why can't stuff that's good for you taste like candy or something? :-)
MrJest2 LOL... because if things good for you tasted good..... we would OVER eat them! At least that's how my mom explained it...LOL
Cool place Adam. I 'll be checking it out when I get to Florida during my extended roadtrip.
Its a nice relaxing place
I'm amazed that you have only 123k subscribers. With all the great places you go to around the country. Always have my morning WOO before I head out. Thank you Adam.
I really love the time lapse through town man that was epic and the ending at the market just awesome filming my friend
thanks Mark
Right on the mark
15 years and they throw me out like a old bag of moldy tangerines :) A line from Stanley Spadowski :)
When you walk directly on the oil patch, it adheres to your shoes and stays with you for a long long time. or at least till you hit carpet that gets in the grooves of your shoes.

Adam, your vlogs are the most informative and entertaining around. Your humble approach to videography keeps me coming back for more.
Its The Daily Woo
adam you should come to rochester new york its a pre3tty important place for anyone that makes youtube videos
I really enjoy your time-lapse effects in your videos and I am fascinated with the history of your home town as well.
Always a great way to start your day. TDW rocks!
TheDailyWoo big Adam ,small desk=priceless....safe travels buddy
Bellows to feed air to the fire.

George Harrison Is right Adam, no large farm animal needed
You still don't get Adam's feigned obtusity. (It's not easy getting newly-invented words past spell check.)
we still have outhouses here...they can still be used. one here thats a two seater and one at our ranch that is double size, but two seats...we use them for garden storage but they are still very functional.
You are an inspiration, AtW - watching your blogs makes me wanna hit the open road and explore. Safe journeys to you!
That place reminds me of the Geico slasher movie commercial. "Why can't we just get in the running car?" "Are you crazy? Let's hide in the barn with all these dangerous farm implements!" Jason Voorhees would be... ;-)

good morning for all
Buenos Dias!
Enjoy the weekend with family and friends! Excited to see where the road takes you!
Adam thank you for keeping your blog family friendly.
Great vlog!!!!
I love that place you went o!!!
Thanks for taking us on your AWESOME journey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting stuff today Adam. It's always nice to spend a few minutes with you every morning.
I like your whistle soundtrack. Adam I'm glad you are doing well. As a long time follower I am happy to see that you have succeeded and have grown your channel so well. Keep going forward, and ignore the jealous cry babies.
The best part of waking up; Coffee, chocolate milk, and The Woo!
me too
I thank you Adam for showing the natural beauty of Florida, the best part of Florida besides the wonderful people I have got to known since I've been in Florida in 1984...

Another weekend of majestic videos Adam! Happy travels

Thank you for highlighting a part of Florida I haven't seen yet. Always a great vlog.
I'll be hitting that area sometime next year, I can't wait to check out St. Cloud! You and the others have really made me want to check it out!
Always look forward to your daily video Adam.
Adam, you are a natural documentary producer. G rated with a GREAT personality! Thanks so much for all your hard work dude.
Always start the weekend off with TDW. Hope you have a great weekend.
Have to agree with you about growing things Adam. The last time my thumb turned green (And black & blue) was about 3 days after I hit it with the hammer! But I can appreciate the care & effort that goes into growing something well.
Excellent vlog as always, definitely off the beaten path, just the kind of places I enjoy. Enjoy your weekend with family before you hit the road.

Adam that was one great walk it sure is a beautiful place and educational. Keep up the great work see you tomorrow.
Kinda disappointed there was no gigantic ice maker in the blacksmith shop.
Loved this series thanks for having me along
been watching you since the beginning you're a good guy adam keep em coming
Safe travels, dearie. Can't wait til your back running the roads among us truckers once again. It'll be...Majestic! 😆 Ooh, I really need my coffee this morning.

a walk through the woods in florida looks a bit different than a walk through the woods here in wisconsin , very nice to see. have a great day everybody.
It's not often I hear a 'My Girl' movie reference, but you Sir always have the good movie lines. Thanks for that Adam.
Hey Adam, just wanted to wish you the best on the next leg of your journey. Looking forward to seeing where the wind takes you! I just started watching your videos at the end of last year and man am I hooked! I don't know if you do meet and greets but If your ever in Cleveland would love to have a cold one with ya.

Thank you Adam.
Keep up the good work! And if you ever come to the Netherlands don't hesitate to contact me for tips or help!
That old barn/cannery reminded me of climbing a ladder in cades cove and coming face to face with a chicken snake at the top. And other old barns around where I grew up
Happy weekend!
Thanks as always Adam!!
Been watching you for years keep up the good work number one fan from Detroit Michigan
Enjoyed watching you're Vlog, I like having long walks myself walking to my city center from my flat, and it's about 3 miles from my flat to the city. But I enjoy doing it because you see things along the way.
Yes you make sense. Neat nature place. Can't wait for the new adventure!! Thanks as always Adam, hit my WOO FIX for the day!! Stay safe!!😀👍🏼😀
Thanks for sharing Adam...!

As Yogi Berra once said " when you come to a fork in the road, take it."
the native Americans would line their moccasins with the fuzz of the cat tails for warmth and as an absorbent in the papoose. the dried roots can be ground up to make a flour
Unless your fork collection is getting a little unwieldy.
Awsome place! Thank you for sharing!
Born and raised in Tallahassee. Thanks for the flick.
That bubbling pond needs a little sign, "Beware of alligator farts."
That is a Forge, and yes used for forming metal, more air more heat
What I understand about banana's, is they can only be harvest from a tree once. To get more banana's you have to plant more trees. That was a great walk. Chirp
that brick structure that you didn't know what it was is an old-time Florida flow well
Great vlog Adam thanks!
The daily Wooooooooo
very beautiful nature walk! Trish
The farm equipment looks like an old insect vegetable and orchard sprayer. The flap in the back directs the spray....
There is one thing I'm really curious about, Adam. You were born in Tupelo and raised all over down south. How is it that you don't have a southern drawl?
Adam - That green 'Mountain Valley Mineral Water' bottle was from Hot Springs Arkansas! It's a small world after all! :)
You really have such a great 👍🏼 voice. Love the Woo!
Have a great weekend!
Skunk Ape was stalking you in the woods Adam!
These trees have eyes. Cool vlog!
I'm excited to see where the Woo takes us next.
I understand the hometown sentiment. I was born in OH, mived to GA when I was 4, so grew up there, you went throigh the town a couple months back, Cairo. Then we moved to TN when I was 17, tis where I met my hubz and lived there for 6yrs. We have in OH simce 03. So I have 3 places I consider hometowns.
There was even a squirrel on the wire at the end of the video. Perfectly Timed!
The signpost reminds me of the Mash TV series.
Adam also travels on the road again.
Have you ever visited the Pioneer museum in Dade City Fl? It's in Pasco County. Middle of nowhere but a neat little set up!
Give this man is own tv show !
Xavier Sims RUclips is the modern day television,so he does have his own show 😀
His 15 minutes are about up.
3rd World Garage while I agree if Adam was on a regular TV show would it lose some of it's charm, I'd love Adam to have a film crew. Adam's filming and editing skills have come a long way, but Adam would be able to show more and do more if he didn't have to film himself.
Xavier Sims he does what he wants and goes where he wants, being tied down by a corporate entity would ruin it
Man, things were definitely kinda rough, before we had indoor rest room/toilets. Was such an interesting era to look back & learn from, at History's point of view.
Adam, I lived in St. Cloud, but I have no idea where that park is located. The end of your video makes it look like you were near the St. Cloud Hospital, but I think you were more near Narcoossee.
Bellow, adam you pull the opposite end and pump air into the flame to make it hotter.
Gloomy overcast cold day in Boston but I kinda felt the FLA sunshine & warmth in this one......
Adam, thank you for your daily blogs. I love experiencing life with you. You have taught me so much. Any chance you might go to Key West?
part of me wants to read through all of the comments to see how many people pointed out that A) those are cattails, and B) they are edible. another part of me says there are better ways to spend the time. I'm hoping you come to Cleveland this year. Be well!
9:48 old irrigation well with outlet pipe? But also possibly what is left of an old sugar cane press, would liked to have had a closer look at that 🔍 10:00 Cattails, that's what I've always heard them called and parts of them are edible, roots, shoots and I understand the pollen. 😝
Adam, Star Wars is not based in the future. "A long time ago, in a galaxy far away."
High Adam you are a pretty funny guy thank you my brother for everything
