David what a great video I knew about these . And they are great for those who are just getting into it . So now I'm waiting for Part 2 I hope you have more for us who are still learning what is safe. Keep up the great work.
Dr. Joe, and David. You can also use the Cat tail (when brown only) to keep mosquitos off you. Just lite the cat tail. You must be within 5 feet of cat tail while burning. We use to burn cat tails (at night) when we where kids camping around the lake. I love the video.
Thanks for the video! Just to let you know, I am the founder of the Midwest Wild Edibles & Foragers Society. I'm centered in Dubuque, Iowa, and travel around giving wild foods talks and lectures, been on a few PBS shows, was approached by Nat Geo earlier this year for a show. I work as an educator and Naturalist for the DNR, and have been a forager for as long as I can remember. Out "little" group is over a thousand people strong, and we're growing! Just wanted to say thanks, and brag a bit.
We have all of those in the UK, although our Impatiens is 'Himalayan Balsam', a highly invasive plant which is wrecking our watermeadows and riverbanks. A caveat on the eating of rosehip seeds....ALWAYS singe off the fine hairs that encapsulate them; they're like fibreglass pieces and a serious gastric irritant. This goes for all roses. Better to not eat the seeds but carefully scrape off the outer flesh from the hip to eat for Vit C.
Very nice video, thank you! Everyone needs to have a heightened awareness of the powerful foods growing right in their yard. Please keep them coming. You have a very enjoyable bedside manner and you are very easy to listen to. (I also enjoyed the 'protein' comment, lol.)
My PA Dutch grandma called cleavers clivvers.. She also taught me about nary dock and curley dock.. They are both easy to identify as are lambs quarters..
As usual great useful tips, with a dash of humor. Something I like to do with bulrush roots is to chop it fine, boil it in water with a pinch of salt let cool, and enjoy. If you've had cucumber soup you'll love this. Thanks David.
Amazing!! I grew up in Appalachian mts of E Kentucky/ just discovering how eatable these are/ Polk was one we cut , young and tender , roll in cornmeal and fry/ thanks for great info..
Excellent video, David! Lots of useful info (in all your videos!), and you and Dr. Joe are fun to watch. Keep up the good work, 'cause I subscribed. You got that?? Carry on.
When you first mentioned "clover" I immediately thought of the "Coumadin" as I am on Coumadin and aware of it's origin. I'm glad that you included that explanation on your video here. I too teach wilderness survival and always caution others to avoid wilted, discolored, or "moldy" clover. Though dried, without mold, they can be eaten. I happen to like fresh clover either just munching on the trail or in salads.
thanks for the diversity of your content! Really apreciate these edible plant and like hunting like guide-line thingys. After all, without the Knowledge the tools we carry are worthless! Ty!
I love your videos. ever since I started watching them last year I was hooked. I bought the bear grylls paracord knife and it was EXACTLY like you said it was going to be. now I never buy survival equipment without seeing one of your reviews first. im also a Boy Scout and I refer you to them whenever they want to buy bear grylls or other survival equipment. thanks for what you do and keep up the good work.
Great video, I'm just learning how ignorant we are to all the edible food around us. I had no idea cattails are edible, that is great to know. Thanks for putting the video together and I look forward to part two
I saw "foolproof" in the title & thought I might challenge myself to learn something useful! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! Hope I can retain what I learned!
You're right. Tomahawks are pretty easy to throw, but if you're wanting to get into things like knife, tomahawk & ax throwing I recommend that you learn to throw the knife first. It's the hardest one to learn, and once you can throw a knife throwing tomahawks will be really easy! For survival though, the best thing to learn to throw with accuracy is the good old, prehistoric throwing stick. You're not always going to have a tomahawk, but if you can find tree you can make a throwing stick!
The green head of the cattail is almost like a broccoli/cauliflower combination in texture, leaning more towards the cauliflower in flavor. And yes, the stems do taste like cucumber, with a slight prickly quality in the throat.
It's funny to me that even in an outdoor survival program, they manage to advertise for walmart. They built a walmart over a swamp the town over with all those plants mentioned! At least we can always find flavorless produce there now! It's so tremendous, it's amazing! Believe me, it's so bigly tremendous!
your mission,should you choose to accept, is to get Dr. Joe and Mykel Hawkeye to do a survival video together. two of the coolest sounding dudes. great video!!
David plz do a review on the gerber defacto fixed blade knife :) p.s. love your show keep making videos youve really changed my perspective on survival and preparedness :) thank you
Mark Fisher Yes, I guess they would look similar to the uninitiated.. I am so used to both plants that I miss the similarity.. Cattails are sooo much bigger than wild iris (we call them flags)..
if you choose to eat older dandelions, my mom told me that in Europe, they would soak them in cold milk to relieve the bitterness. May not be helpful in a survival situation, however better tasting in salads 😊
+Michelle Hebberd lost 4 pounds eating dandelions and onion and chive this week will be consuming a loooot more too! yay a free natural weight loss supplement. right from my own backyard
question about the cat tail pods you said their edible when their green but could you brew a tea from the dried ones and if so would it have any health/nutrition benefits?
Hmmmm... interesting... yes... A few days ago.it looked like we had like almost 600 new subscribers in one day... but the stats are not showing that many now... I think it was a glitch or something since we are right on our normal trend. Thanks for the "heads up" bro! Have a great night! ~David
Cattails makes a great fire starter However some times they grow very far in the bog And if you are in shorts your legs are going to cut up and in the winter they are not edible
I noticed on this vid there was a few plants that are hear in Ireland ive been looking for a book of edible wild Irish plants but there is none would any of these books have all of Irelands wild edible plants on it .
I'm am in sympathy with your attitude toward walmart. Agreed. As for your red clover, it makes you feel happy if you eat a few fresh. Plus the phytoestrogens are helpful to women. The dandelion blossoms taste wonderful if you batter and fry them:)
Cool. Thanks Bob! I am glad you have found our stuff to be helpful. Have a a great day! ~David
Glad you enjoyed... Thank you for the encouragement Ty! ~David
David what a great video I knew about these . And they are great for those who are just getting into it . So now I'm waiting for Part 2 I hope you have more for us who are still learning what is safe. Keep up the great work.
would be great if you can remade this video in HD, to see better the plants

Hi Oliver! Thanks for asking. Yes, it is in the review rotation. Soon my friend, soon. Stay tuned! ~ David
Dr. Joe is great and so knowledgeable!
My PA Dutch grandma called cleavers clivvers.. She also taught me about nary dock and curley dock.. They are both easy to identify as are lambs quarters..
This is great just got back from great camping trip to find my new schrade scaxe2 has arrived and to make the day better you release this
As usual great useful tips, with a dash of humor. Something I like to do with bulrush roots is to chop it fine, boil it in water with a pinch of salt let cool, and enjoy. If you've had cucumber soup you'll love this. Thanks David.
Yes... that's on the list... but hasn't risen to the top yet. Thanks for the feedback. We WILL work on it. ~David
In the area we hike and camp we also have yucca plants and cactus (pads) which make great edibles. Thanks David & Dr. Joe!
Good ground rule, no death
I've seen every review you have, winning any survival gear you're giving away would be awesome!!!!
Indeed!

Ty!
Thanks for the book recommendations! I can't get enough learning on this topic and didn't know where to start other than perusing youtube videos.
Thanks for the information. Keep up the good work!

I don't have a table big enough... :) But I catch your drift... one day I will do something like that... Actually a fun idea... Thanks!
Love the videos. Keep up the awesome work. Very useful information
Cool idea... I'll have to try that!
Great video, I'm just learning how ignorant we are to all the edible food around us. I had no idea cattails are edible, that is great to know. Thanks for putting the video together and I look forward to part two
Yes... I noticed that... Will watch out for it next time. Bad habit... Thanks for bringing it up. ~David
I did not know about Jewel weed. It is so abundant where I live, tip worth gold.

Ha I just got my first wild edibles book this week... good timing with this one! You guys make a good team.
It's funny to me that even in an outdoor survival program, they manage to advertise for walmart. They built a walmart over a swamp the town over with all those plants mentioned! At least we can always find flavorless produce there now! It's so tremendous, it's amazing! Believe me, it's so bigly tremendous!
Try it now... Thanks for the "Heads Up" - David
beautiful location. Nice and quiet.
your mission,should you choose to accept, is to get Dr. Joe and Mykel Hawkeye to do a survival video together. two of the coolest sounding dudes. great video!!
You should go to one of his Pathfinder Gatherings. I'm pretty sure he has one every summer, & the last 2 days are open to the public.
hey Dave, thanks for sharing brother!!! great information. going to your amazon store to see what you have. atb, Tony
i just bought Foraging(idiots guide) couple days ago. cant wait to try. thanks4share

Great, enjoyable video. Thanks
Thank you so much. God bless you.
David plz do a review on the gerber defacto fixed blade knife :) p.s. love your show keep making videos youve really changed my perspective on survival and preparedness :) thank you
Please note the cat tail isn't a year around food for the average forager.and there is a very common poison plant that looks the same.called iris..
Iris doesn't grow in ponds..
The plants may look some what like each other. They are easy to tell the difference in the planets
Mark Fisher
Yes, I guess they would look similar to the uninitiated.. I am so used to both plants that I miss the similarity.. Cattails are sooo much bigger than wild iris (we call them flags)..
if you choose to eat older dandelions, my mom told me that in Europe, they would soak them in cold milk to relieve the bitterness. May not be helpful in a survival situation, however better tasting in salads 😊

+Michelle Hebberd good tip thanks saltwater wasn't helping for sure.

Hey David! Can You make a review on the bear Grylls ULTIMATE Multi-tool?

+Valiant Knight Ps i had just drank dandelion and spruce needle tea before i watched this video
Superb!
So, clover for people with thick blood?
Good video, thanks. New subscriber.
If you leave clover tea in a cool place to steep over night it taste just like store bought tea.
Hmmmm... interesting... yes... A few days ago.it looked like we had like almost 600 new subscribers in one day... but the stats are not showing that many now... I think it was a glitch or something since we are right on our normal trend. Thanks for the "heads up" bro! Have a great night! ~David
