I actually really like the word she used earlier which is not a real word technically I guess in English but I'm going to use it because I think it's just awesome she's she's the word 'intelagant' which I am going to interpret as elegant intelligence I really like that phrase so I'm going to start using that word we'll see if it catches on
I love trees Vanessa. They are my life because I’m a carpenter. The spruce, pine and fir are the most common trees for structures. They are soft wood or conifers, needles. The oak, beech and birch are used more for interior wood, cabinets, stairs, doors, or the wooden parts of windows. The are hardwood, broadleaf or deciduous. Your videos are very interesting.
Thank you for the content Vanessa. You are the kind of person that should be teaching us these things. Your reverence for nature is epic. It is what we should all be doing. Nature's great resources must be preserved by mankind. Of course we will consume resources but if we replant the trees we take and preserve the Forrest, it can be done effectively. I know we don't do a good enough job of this in parts of the world but we can only hope we get better at it in the future.
brilliant , your explanation of trees in English is great I have tried speaking German from a cd but being a pensioner I find it hard and should have tried when I was younger you have done very well speaking English many thanks david
The memories of the Black Forest, and the woods south of Augsburg came to me as I watched this. Thank you, Vanessa for giving me a chance to relive a past memory. I did make willow bark tea whenever I went camping during the summers. Good times!
You can start a fire with birch bark in a thunderstorm it can be lit wet i live in the high desert no birches here lots of pinon though.this was great yr for pine nuts pinon seeds it is my favorite wood for the woodstove .thanks for all this great information glad i found you here.love and much light ✨️
I loved your video! I live on 55 acres in rural northeast Alabama and I'm an herbalist but just starting to learn trees. Your English is wonderful! My husband was from Germany,too!! (Rip Wilfred)
Thank you thank you for this beautiful gift!!!! This is the first time I have watched your lesson, and look forward to learning from all your videos!! what a gift to the world!
I had a strawberry pine needle tea often before getting back into communication with the #plant_breeders & rediscover my own love for the fields of #Parkour & #Freerunning Great Upload Thanks 😊
Thank you! I enjoyed your video. I have made tea from the twigs of the black birch, which grows in the Appalachian mountains. The tea is sweet and fragrant. As you said, it is important not to take too much from one tree to prevent harm.
Vanessa, thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us. You seem to be a sweet person and very caring and respectful of nature. Thank you for teaching us so much in this video, not only about important survival facts, but also awareness and care for our environment, and a bit of history as well. May God continue to bless you as you enjoy His creation. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to watching more videos. I learned much from this one! 🤗
My very first time encountering You and amazing how my attention belong to you. Sharing your thoughts of knowledge with intent of education of your own interests. Seeing an excellent vlog and plan to gone your site.. Language was fine to me, because your doing it.. Creating with your passion was real and kept me focused with your thoughts. Don't be to hard on yourself,, if you feel lacking of doing well.. Just Know You were perfect as to a Great Job..😂
Thank you dear that was very informative. I had no idea is that the birch tree has so many medicinal purposes. The American Indians used the polis. I had a boil on my leg when I was very little. My stepfather put a potato polis on the boil and it drew all the poison out of it. I am fascinated at The healing arts. Thank you for your efforts and all your time. Great job dear!!!❤
First time here, and subscribed __because you are a wealth of information that is important to know, even if one is just taking a walk/hike through the woods/forest. (I have a 'connection' with trees.🌳💖) Thank you for doing videos in English. 😋 Love, Light, and Blessings. 🙏😇💫✨🌱🌿🌻🐝🌳🌎💖🙌😺
We call that mushroom the birch polypore mushroom here in Britain 13:32 . As you mentioned, it's also an excellent medicinal mushroom when you make a tea with it. When learning the difference between fir, pine and spruce trees in Britain we compare the needles, as you did, 21:28 then we memorise this phrase: 1] Fir is flat (i.e., fir tree needles are flat) 2] Spruce is square (spruce needles are square in shape) 3] Pine comes in pairs (the pine needles are joined at the bottom in pairs) Fir is flat, spruce is square and pine comes in pairs :) . However, always remember, the deadly poisonous yew tree needles look very similar to fir tree needles. It's wise to learn how to identify that tree too. I'd like you to make the 'foraging in winter' video, please. Every bushcraft channel should teach this type of thing, it's literally crucial for survival, especially the way things are going now in our Western countries.
I always loved and grew willow trees and never knew it was medicinal. Thank you for all the important knowledge. We never know everything and can always learn something new. Great video!
Great Video Vanessa your english is fine and getting better everytime, so cool to see you have in Germany all the same tress pretty much that we have here in the East Coast Of Canada. Chewing is the word you were looking for when talking on your last tree.
Thank you for the video Vanessa I enjoyed it. I have all the trees you talked about in and around my yard here in Northern Minnesota 👍👍See you at your next video 👋
great video and was very surprised how much i didnt know about these trees. just started wild camping and what you can eat. So much to learn and I look forward to watching and learning more from your videos. thanks
Thank you for your video. I made me think of all the various trees that I have on my property. I've googled them all now and starting my research and am cataloging their uses. Thank you again for you're Video, it made me think about all the varied resources that are so close to me.
When looking for an oak tree for firewood be sure to pick Red Oak and not White Oak to cut. Red Oak grows more straight up and has less knots than white oak so it's way easier to cut and split 🪓. My dad and I cut many Red oaks for firewood. The smell of red Oak is obvious when using a chain saw. I actually liked it. 👍
Hi Vanessa, I found your video very interesting and informative. I’ll be on the lookout for these trees when I’m next out walking in the woods. I love the way your dog walks in and out of the camera shots while you are presenting. 😊
The willow tree is associated with lots of spiritual activity such as ghost sightings and spirits. Its branch is often used to make a wand too! Guanyin is also associated with this tree as its bendy/watery/adaptive/regenerative qualities symbolize its yin qualities. The acorn preparation is quite tedious. I actually bagged many lbs of it and put it in my toilet reservoir for months to let it automatically wash away the tannins. (This was when I lived in the city being the odd person collecting acorns at parks) Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
The birch tree, I stopped there because I’m a kidney recipient and you said the leaves are good for flushing the kidneys. Now that was useful information. No one else said anything about what you shared.
nettle tea made from the young leaves at the top is also very good for kidneys as its a diuretic and has most vitamin that the body needs with the exception of d3 and and a couple of others i cannot remember. i used it when i was diagnosed with stage 3 ckd along with apple cider vinegar and bicarb of soda and i managed to reverse it obviously i also changed my diet and now go low carb with one good meal per day. nettles you can harvest and dry out in the sun or oven and store in a cotton pillow case in a cool dry room so you have a good all year supply, it also lowers blood pressure . tea made from the nettle root is reputed to be good for prostate cancer .
Is it true the Fir needles are flat making the needles like silkie and smooth as the fur of an animal? And spruce needles are square making it the opposite of for, making them less smooth but rough to pet like an animal?
The birch tree,Such a medicinal tree the sap can be harvested in the spring like a maple tree Also the yellow birch yields a mushroom called CHAGA witch can be made into tea .I am from northern Canada and i heard people say that it cured cancer.Have a great day
The Oak Tree that you were showing is a White Oak. It has many uses, such as bow wood, and the bark is good for tanning, and It has the largest Acorn, there are also Black Oak, Red Oak(also makes a good bow.) Laurel Oak, Pinion Oak, Live Oak, and Scrub Oak. There are probably More, but that is all that I know of. Ja! Your English iss goot. Dunka!. There is just a hint of an accent. I appreciate you Making this in English. I would place the English Language in same class of difficulty of learning "Greek, and Latin". Just my opinion. However the Navaho Indian language, would probably be the most difficult. Again just my Opinion. 😉Thank you.
__ I am glad to hear that in Chamonix there are older oaks. All precious. Funny, when I was in Chamonix thirty years ago, all I saw was mountains, but apparently I should have looked at the trees, too.
The red Indians used birch I think white birch to make many things water holders included .....you video is very interesting I have learned lots thank you ...... Everyday a school day 🌲🌳🌴🍁🍂🐝🌻
Nice video, and I learned a few new things. Also pine needles have something in them to help combat colds and coughs. Best way is to make a pine needle tea.
I love this video and you have a new subscriber here. We are so ignorant of these things compared to our ancestors and it's brilliant that young people like yourself are trying to change that. Your English is excellent for a non-native speaker and I really appreciate you making the effort to communicate in my language. Thank you x
Congrats, you are the first woman I’ve looked at. I getting ready to look at your vid but I said, I wonder how many trees that I guess are gonna be in her list, I said, Pine trees, for fat wood, birch bark and cedar for the bark for birds nest. I think I’ve got three of them. I’ll see what I missed.
The inner bark of the prickly ash was chewed by Native Americans for toothache. Roast the acorns otherwise they are bitter, they can also be used to make flour. You can check the cones of evergreens for "pine nuts".
Excellent vid, so happy to have found your amazing channel. Wish you much success in your production of more vids just like this one. Thank you so much once again Peace
Very interesting if you live in a temperate zone. I am in the tropics and the very best is the mornings because every part can be consumed and has all of the nutrients. Second l would say would be a citrus like a lemon or lime species- many uses besides eating.
Your English is good. We understand your English well and we are very thankful that you do these video in English. We are learning a lot .

Thank You Very Much .!
You provided a lot of good information on the trees, which I enjoyed. I think some winter videos would be great.

Your English is great I could listen to you all day.
Thats nice to hear, thank you!
@@WildWomanBushcraft You are very welcome.
I agree, she is the best.
I'm heart broken chestnut tree,s are all extinct and no effort made to bring them back as a species.

I love trees I bought two Forrest properties to live in woods I eat acorns raw two or three at a time I roast them and add them to cornbread mix
Thanks for the great useful and interesting information, I really love trees and enjoying to climb of them sometimes 😅.
